Finally,The thinning crown and receding points may meet and form a horseshoe pattern with hair around the sides of the head.
Hair loss in men can begin as early as the age of 20, although for the majority of men, hair loss becomes more noticeable after the age of 35 to 40.
The main culprit for hair loss in men – DHT
DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is considered the main culprit. 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. Eventually the hair follicle can close completely and the hair falls out.
Another condition is called alopecia areata, in which hair comes out in one or more places at the roots. It is much rarer than androgenetic alopecia.
Other causes of hair loss in men can include scalp infections, malnutrition, systemic diseases and severe stress.
