Hair Loss Man
- Information Page and Resources
About
ninety-five percent of hair loss man is attributable to Androgenic
Alopecia also know as male pattern baldness.
Some believe
this condition resulting in hair loss man includes the three
factors of
- age
- heredity
- the
male hormone testosterone
The signs of
male patten baldness in hair loss man are:
1) a receding
hairline
2) a moderate
or extensive loss of hair, especially on the crown
Hair loss man usually starts with hair receding
at the temples until it resembles the shape of an 'm'.
As hair loss man progresses, the hair becomes
finer, does not grow so long and the bald spot at the crown
widens.
Finally, the thinning crown and the receding points
may meet forming a horseshoe pattern with hair around the
sides of the head.
Hair loss man can begin as early as 20 although
for the majority of men, hair loss is more noticeable from the age
of 35 to 40.
DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) is recognized as
a main culprit in hair loss man. DHT is a combination of testosterone
and androgen receptors mixed with sebum and dirt particles.
Some hair
follicles are particularly sensitive to DHT and tend to shrink
when exposed to it.
Finally
the hair follicle may shut down altogether and the hair falls
out.
Another condition
under the heading hair loss man is called Alopecia Areata,
in which hair comes out by the roots in one or more spots.
It is much
less common than Androgenic Alopecia.
Other
causes of hair loss man can include scalp infections, nutritional
deficiency, systemic illness, and severe stress.
Regarding
hair loss man and male pattern baldness, Jonathon E. Phillips
in his book
Hair
Loss No More says this:
"The main reason for this type of baldness
is genetic and has been linked to an increased secretion of testosterone.
A significant contributing factor is age and the triggering
of genetic hereditary predispositions.
Stress and tension too, play an important role in
the varying degrees of Male Pattern Baldness (MPB). By the time
a person has gone through the full progression of Male Pattern Baldness
(if left unchecked), they can lose up to and more than 50% of their
hair."
