The problem of hair loss is well known to men today.

“According to the American Hair Loss Association, almost 70 percent of men start balding before the age of 30, and by the age of 50, these figures reach 85 percent,” – reports the publication Fatherly, which published an interview with a trichologist.

According to the specialist, the main cause of male pattern baldness is dihydrotestosterone, which is a biologically active substance produced from testosterone. An increase in its concentration in the blood affects the hair follicles in a specific way, making the hair too weak and lifeless. This process is attributed to an autoimmune reaction.

“This type of hair loss often leads to baldness, and the hair that grows back may remain intact or fall out again,” said the doctor.

Expert noted that hair loss is not always irreversible – today there are many means and methods of hair restoration. But in some cases, it can turn out to be so long and expensive or so disappointing in its results that it is easier to shave your head, finally getting rid of the remnants of the hairstyle.
