HAIR LOSS 101
The Problem
Male pattern baldness—clinically known as androgenetic alopecia—is the most common form of hair loss in men. And for most, it starts earlier than expected.
By the age of 35, nearly two out of three men will notice some degree of thinning or recession. It often begins subtly, then progresses over time.
While there’s currently no permanent cure, hair loss is well understood—and, more importantly, manageable. Modern treatments can slow progression, protect existing hair, and in many cases support visible regrowth when used consistently.

The Causes
Hair loss is primarily genetic—but it’s not as simple as “it runs in the family.”
You can inherit the tendency for male pattern baldness from either parent, and research has identified hundreds of genetic markers that influence how and when hair loss appears. In other words, it’s common—and highly individual.
Beyond genetics, certain external factors can accelerate shedding or worsen existing thinning. These may include:
-
Chronic stress
-
Nutritional imbalances
-
Harsh chemical treatments or styling practices
These factors don’t usually cause male pattern baldness on their own, but they can compound what’s already happening.
Understanding the why behind hair loss is the first step toward treating it effectively—and without unnecessary worry.
