The Male Baldness Pattern
Typically, the hair on the sides begins to shrink or thin. This is generally accompanied by thinning of the hair on top of the head.
A bald spot in the crown of the head then seems to appear.
All these receding spots eventually grow larger and merge, leaving a patch at the front that sooner or later also becomes thinner
This measuring tool is known as the Norwood scale and is the most advanced way to classify hair loss in men.
What Are the Causes of Male Pattern Baldness?
Baldness in men and women is usually genetically determined. This form of baldness is also called Androgenetic Alopecia. It is caused by male hormones (androgens). hair follicles are sensitive to Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). After puberty the male hormone testosterone increases and so does DHT. Binding DHT to the hair follicles causes them to shrink, grow back more slowly and ultimately fall out.
In male pattern baldness, the hair follicles on the back and sides of the head are usually unaffected by the DHT hormone. Because these areas often contain healthy and abundant hair, it is possible to use these strong hairs for a hair transplant.
Hair loss is a common condition and there are a number of causes that have been linked to it in addition to genetic factors. These include iron deficiencies, protein deficiencies, chronic diseases, certain medications and even damage caused by improper hair care.
