Male Pattern Hair Loss: Things You Need To Know

It is a sad reality of life that most of the males will at some point in their lives be affected by male pattern hair loss or androgenic alopecia as it is commonly called. It is a hereditary form of hair loss, inherited from one or both parents and if you are subject to getting it, there is hardly anything that you can do to avoid it.

As it is very problem amongst males, many believe that it is just a natural part of the ageing process and give up themselves to the fact, that they can’t do anything about it.

Common signs of male pattern hair loss

The first obvious sign of male pattern baldness is receding hairline, at the top of the forehead. The hair will start receding to the right and left of the center of the head. Eventually, in a few years, this will result in the formation of the typical U shaped hairline.

Usually, after the starting of the recession of the hairline, and the time duration differs from person to person, around the bald patch will be formed on the top of the head. This will increase until eventually it meets with the receding hairline and creates a very common pattern, the “friar tuck” hairstyle. In a few cases, this too disappears, leaving the manfully bald.
