Hair Loss in Male
Male pattern baldness is the most common type of hair loss. The primary cause of hair loss is genetics. That’s inherited or androgenic hair loss and makes up the majority. It is caused by increased sensitivity to male sex hormones in certain parts of the scalp, and is passed on from generation to generation. Some men have areas on the scalp that are very sensitive to the male sex hormones that circulate in men’s blood. The hormones make the hair follicles – from which hair grows – shrink. In men who develop male pattern baldness the hair loss may begin any time after puberty when blood levels of androgens rise. The first change is usually recession in the temporal areas, which is seen in 96 percent of mature Caucasian males, including those men not destined to progress to further hair loss.
Male pattern baldness is an inherited condition and the gene can be inherited from either the mother or father’s side. Thyroid disease can cause hair loss, but thyroid tests on people who have ordinary hair loss are usually normal. In male-pattern baldness, hair loss typically results in a receding hair line and baldness on the top of the head. Finally, hair loss may occur as part of an underlying disease, such as lupus or diabetes. Some medicines can cause hair loss. This type of hair loss improves when you stop taking the medicine. Medicines that can cause hair loss include blood thinners, medicines used for gout, medicines used in chemotherapy to treat cancer, vitamin A, birth control pills and antidepressants. Hair loss remedies have advanced dramatically over the past ten years.

What Causes the Pattern?
First we need to understand what significantly contributes to hair loss in women and men.
It’s excessive oil!
Natural home remedy hair specialists who have been in the field of restoring hair loss – with success – for 20 years, say that 99% of the time hair loss in both men and women usually comes from one thing. Excessive oil!
This oil is called sebum. When this oil gets clogged in your scalp it stops the hair follicle from growing. Eventually the oil will prevent the root from surfacing. The end result is a receding hairline and what we know as “hereditary male pattern baldness” and androgenetic alopecia.
Also experts know that hair on a man’s head grows “straight out” in some areas and in other areas grows laying down. This direction of hair growth is what forms the hereditary pattern in men’s hair. For women, it’s quite different in terms of the direction their hair tends to grow.
