What is Hair Loss?
The primary cause of male-pattern baldness is believed to be genetic and related to hormones, specifically the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
In individuals with a genetic predisposition to this condition, hair follicles in certain areas of the scalp become sensitive to the effects of DHT. Over time, exposure to DHT causes these follicles to shrink and produce thinner and shorter hair until they eventually stop producing hair altogether.
