From stress to vitamin deficiency, there are many possible causes of hair loss. However, male pattern baldness (MPB), or androgenetic alopecia, is the most common culprit, causing 90% of male hair loss cases. This is caused by the hormone, DHT, which weakens and shrinks the hair follicles – and ultimately makes them unable to produce hair. That’s MPB and it happens to most men in our lifetimes.
You’ll probably know the main signs of balding already. From a receding hairline to a balding crown, the key signs are familiar to us all. However, overall, expect your hair to be thinner, weaker, and more brittle. And you may see that it grows more slowly on top – or that more hair falls out in the shower or when styling. Crucially, sudden onset hair loss or inflamed/sore scalp that causes bald spots or patchy hair loss is not MPB.
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is what powers MPB. Derived from testosterone by an enzyme known as 5α-Reductase, it helps your body develop sex organs, muscle mass, and facial hair in your youth. However, as you age, DHT weakens your hair follicles, and stops them producing hair. Prevent 5α-Reductase from working, though, and your follicles can be saved – which means fuller and thicker hair for longer.
You bet that hair loss is reversible. Thanks to our understanding of DHT and hair follicles, new hair loss treatment options are available. Finasteride and Minoxidil are the market-leaders, with Finasteride being effective in the treatment of MPB for 9/10 men. So, men don’t need to put up with hair shedding, thinning, or bald spots anymore – as these medical treatments offer an easy way to regrow healthy hair.
With MPB treatment, the trick is to start as soon as possible. While Minoxidil and Finasteride have a big impact in the battle against that androgen, DHT, they can only do so much. If you’re completely bald and have been for a long time, it is unlikely that treatment will work. DHT will have made the follicles unable to produce hair – and permanent hair loss is the result. Start treatment as soon as you can.
