A baldness gene is inherited from either of your parents. If you have this gene, you may eventually lose hair. The age hair loss begins and the amount of loss can vary and be influenced by many things.

Hormones called androgens circulate in your blood and the gene for baldness causes your hair follicles to become sensitised to these hormones. Hair follicles shrink and produce thinner, shorter and lighter hair. At the same time, the growing phase of hair cycles becomes shorter but the resting phase doesn’t change. In the shorter growing phase, new hairs never reach the surface of your scalp.

Male pattern baldness is not constant but occurs in ‘fits and bursts’. Male hair loss can begin at any age and can continue for 10 to 40 years. The proportion of men with male pattern hair loss roughly corresponds with age – at age 30 about 30% have signs of hair loss – at 50 about 50% show signs.

We still don’t know the reason for male pattern baldness, however, scientific discoveries identify 2 key causes – genetics and hormones. Since 1940, science has known of the influence the male hormones have had in hair loss. Scientists during the 1970’s discovered and identified exactly which hormone was the big problem. A chemical, 5-a reductase (5R), that converts testosterone (T) into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Men with male pattern hair loss produce more 5-a reductase and more of the active hormone, DHT.
