Causes of Male Pattern Baldness

Male pattern baldness (also known as Androgenetic Alopecia) is the most common form of hair loss for men, representing about 90% of all hair loss cases in males. The result is either a receding hairline or thinning hair at the top of the crown of the head. But don't feel like you're alone, because about 40 million men in North America today are experiencing male pattern baldness as well. At least half of all men will experience hair loss of some kind by the age of 50, and from then on the numbers only climb, because hair loss is progressive.

When it comes to male baldness, generally speaking, it's genetic. Male pattern baldness is caused by a chemical called Dihydrotestosterone, or DHT, which builds up around the hair follicle and eventually kills both the follicle and the hair. It's the hair follicle's resistance to DHT that's genetic. If you have relatives on either your father's or mother's side, with thin hair or who are balding, there's a pretty good chance at some point you'll experience the same causes of male pattern baldness or hair thinning.
