Male hair loss

Male hair loss is the most common type of hair loss. Do you believe it? Yes, you can see everywhere. Men with very little hair or bold. Hair loss from men caused by increased sensitivity to male sex hormones which is androgens in certain parts of the scalp, and is passed on from generation to generation.

Some of the men have areas on the scalp that are very very sensitive to the male sex hormones that circulate in men's blood. The sex hormones make the mens' hair follicles, from which hair grows shrink. After that, they slowly become so small that they cannot replace lost hairs. The follicles are still alive, but are no longer able to perform their task to grow the hairs anymore.

Usually hair loss starts in men in the age of 20 to 30 and it follows a typical pattern which is the hair on top of the head also begins to thin, thiner..... and thiner. Then the two balding areas meet to form a typical U shape around the back and sides of the head. The hairs that remains on the scalp are often finer, and does not grow as quickly as it used to be.
