Male Hair Loss Information

It is important to understand that on average the life of a single hair is 3 – 5 years.

Normal hair loss is defined as between 70 – 120 hairs per day.

The hairs on your head germinate at different times, therefore they will not fall out or grow all at the same time.

Stress can be a cause of male hair loss and hair loss is a major cause of stress. We do know that stress causes many forms of alopecia. However, the exact relationship between stress and Alopecia is unclear.

Male pattern baldness is the general term for Androgenic Dependent Alopecia. There are three factors generally involved in male pattern baldness. Predisposition to early hair loss, age, and too much converted Testosterone which becomes Dihydrotestosterone ( DHT ). DHT is the main Androgen involved in male pattern baldness. Some 95% of hair thinning and eventual baldness in men is caused by an excess of DHT.

Dihydrotestosterone destroys the blood supply to the hair follicles.

The onset of male pattern baldness generally starts with the hairline receding from the front to form an M shape, followed by the thinning of the crown hair. The hair between the crown of the head and the front then gradually thins until all or most of the hair to the top of the head is lost. There are other slightly differing patterns, but the one described is the most common. In all cases of male pattern baldness, the hair to the sides and back of the head remains, due to it being resistant to DHT.
