The Real Cause of Hairloss in Men

Male Pattern Baldness - the Best Bets As to the Cause

Dr. Bentley strode the front of the room like he owned it. Which was kinda true since his audience had given it to him. He was talking to a group of men keenly interested in any info they could get their hands on about affordable hair replacement.

Here's the real cause of hairloss in men. Scientifically it's called androgenetic alopecia. And while we'd like it to be something easy to understand, like "Does wearing a hat cause baldness?" it's really three things.

Heredity. We know what genetic malfunction causes baldness we just don't understand everything about it.

If you got the gene for baldness from your parents, there's not a lot you can do about it.

For the most part we know that in that case some hair follicles will be hard coded to die at specific times. This die off occurs in a familiar pattern. But we don't know why someone, with many relatives on both sides of the family who suffered hair loss, doesn't.

The cause of rate of loss isn't well understood yet either.

Hormones play a role. Both DHT and testosterone. With DHT being directly responsible.

Aging. It's inevitable. One sign of growing old is hair loss.

So the real cause of hairloss in men (and perhaps true for the cause of hairloss in woman too) is actually a combination of three things. Sometimes all you can do is smile and say hair today gone tomorrow.
