Male Pattern Baldness? Blame Genetics
Male pattern baldness, known as androgenetic alopecia, is by far the most common cause of men’s hair loss. Those experiencing this progressive, hereditary condition have inherited hair follicles that are sensitive to the hormone DHT, which causes the follicles to miniaturize and produce thinner hair over time.
Thankfully, HairClub has solutions that work for those whose hair is just starting to thin and for those with more advanced hair loss.

Where Do You Fit on the Norwood Scale?
The Norwood (or Hamilton-Norwood) Scale is one of the leading ways to classify male pattern baldness. It’s an easy-to-reference guide to help men understand the progression of their hair loss. This scale groups men’s hair loss into seven classes, from no or minimal loss to advanced balding.
Stage 1
There is minimal or no recession of the hairline. At this stage, you should monitor your hair regularly for any signs of thinning.
Stage 2
The initial signs of hair loss become more visible. The hairline starts to recede, typically in symmetrical triangular shapes near the temples, like an “M” shape.
Stage 3
Deep, symmetrical hair loss at the temples may be bare or sparsely covered with hair. The hair also begins to thin at the crown.
Stage 4
Hair loss in the front and the temples is more severe. Thinning near the hairline and crown is more pronounced while a moderate band of hair separates the two areas.
Stage 5
Still a visible separation between hair loss in the front and crown, but the divide is becoming narrower. A “horseshoe” shape of hair remains at the sides and back of the head.
Stage 6
More severe hair loss is clearly visible, as the hair separating the crown and the front temporal region is nearly gone, with only sparse
hair remaining.
Stage 7
Hair loss in the front, temporal, and crown regions is most severe. The “horseshoe” shape of the hair is all that remains and may be less dense than it was previously.
