The problem
For a lot of guys, hair loss starts earlier than they would have ever expected—in fact two out of three guys will experience some form of hair loss by the time they’re 35. Many men first notice thinning hair or a receding hairline. Once hair loss starts, it does not stop or reverse without medical treatment.
It’s normal to shed 50 to 100 hairs per day. More hair loss than that could be a sign of male pattern baldness.

The cause
Male pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is the most common cause of hair loss in men. Genetics are the biggest factor in how susceptible you are to hair loss. So, if members of your family have a receding hairline or thinning hair, there’s a good chance you’ll experience hair loss and thinning hair as well.

The solution
Luckily, there are two FDA-approved treatments that are clinically proven to stop hair loss and even increase hair growth. Depending on the type of hair loss you’re experiencing, your doctor may recommend one—or both—treatments. If you’re susceptible to dandruff, your doctor may also recommend a prescription shampoo which can also help as a hair loss treatment.
What is DHT
Male pattern baldness is caused by sensitivity to DHT, a hormone related to testosterone. Here’s the science behind hair loss.
Genetics and hair loss
Hair loss is a genetic condition, but it can be inherited from either side of your family. Here’s how it gets passed down.
Types of alopecia
Beyond male pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia, there are several other types of alopecia that can cause hair loss.
Other causes
Losing your hair can be a symptom of many medical conditions, not limited to alopecia. Here’s how your thyroid may be involved.
