Advice for Men on Hair Loss Issues

Reasons for Men’s Hair Loss

According to the American Hair Loss Association, the cause of thinning hair and balding in men is due to heredity 95% of the time.

Male Pattern Baldness (Androgenetic Alopecia) is progressive, often starting in a young man’s teens with a receding hairline that follows a predictable pattern of loss toward the typical fringe of DHT resistant hair seen on older men.

By the age of 35 two thirds of men will experience some hair loss and by age 50, fully 85% of men will be thinning.

Examine your parents and heritage to determine the possible extent of your balding.

Other minor factors for men include;

– Emotional Stress

– Physical or emotional trauma

– Illness or Surgery

– Drugs and medications

– Diet

Before starting any hair loss treatment regimen, see your doctor to make sure you’re getting the correct treatment for your condition.
