Picture this? You are brushing your teeth one morning, & you notice something different in the mirror. Your hairline looks a little higher than it did last year. Maybe there is a small 'spot' on the crown of your head that seems thinner.
Welcome to the club that millions of men join every year - the male pattern baldness club. This is not a club anyone really wants to join, but it is one of the most common experiences men face as they get older.
One out of every three men
Male pattern baldness affects about 50 million men in the United States alone. That is like saying one out of every three men you see walking down the street will experience some form of hair loss in their lifetime. Even though it is super common, most guys do not really understand what is happening to them or why it is happening. They just wake up one day & realize their hair is playing a disappearing act.
This article will take you through everything you need to know about male pattern baldness. We will talk about why it happens, what the early signs look like, & what you can actually do about it.
We will also bust some myths that might be floating around in your head. By the end, you will have a clear picture of what male pattern baldness really is & how to deal with it like a pro.
What Exactly Is Male Pattern Baldness?
Male pattern baldness is not just "losing hair." This a specific type of hair loss that follows a predictable pattern. Doctors call it "androgenetic alopecia," which sounds fancy but basically means "hair loss caused by hormones & genes."
Think of it like a roadmap that your hair loss follows - it usually starts at the temples & the crown of your head, then slowly spreads from there.
The process happens because of a hormone called DHT, which stands for dihydrotestosterone.
Your body makes DHT from regular testosterone, which is totally normal. But some hair follicles are sensitive to this hormone. When DHT attaches to these sensitive follicles, it makes them shrink over time. Imagine a garden hose that slowly gets squeezed tighter & tighter - eventually, not much water can get through. That is what happens to your hair follicles.
What makes this really interesting is that not all hair follicles are created equal. The hair on the back & sides of your head is usually resistant to DHT. That is why you will see guys who are completely bald on top but still have hair around the sides & back. As if those hairs have superpowers that protect them from the hormone that is attacking the hair on top.
The whole process does not happen overnight. Male pattern baldness usually takes years or even decades to fully develop. Some guys start noticing changes in their twenties, while others do not see any hair loss until they are in their forties or fifties.
This all depends on your genes & how sensitive your hair follicles are to DHT.
The REAL Reasons Why It Happens
Let us get one thing straight right away - male pattern baldness is not caused by wearing hats too much, shampooing too often, or standing on your head. These are myths that just will not die. The real culprit is your DNA, & there is nothing you did wrong to cause it.
Genetics play the biggest role in determining whether you will experience male pattern baldness. If your dad is bald, there is a good chance you might be too. If your mom's father was bald, that also increases your chances. You do not inherit the exact same pattern of baldness from your relatives. You might lose hair in a slightly different way or at a different age.
Scientists have found that multiple genes are involved in male pattern baldness, not just one. This explains why some families have some men who go completely bald while others just have a little thinning. This is like a genetic lottery, & you do not know what combination of genes you got until the hair loss starts.
Age is another major factor that works together with your genes. Even if you have the genes for male pattern baldness, it usually does not start until you reach a certain age. This is because your hormone levels change as you get older. Young boys do not produce enough testosterone to create significant amounts of DHT, which is why kids do not go bald.
Stress can also play a role, but not in the way most people think. Regular daily stress will not cause male pattern baldness, but extreme stress can speed up hair loss in guys who are already genetically predisposed to it. This is like stress puts your hair loss on fast-forward rather than causing it from scratch.
Spotting the Early Warning Signs
Recognising male pattern baldness early can be tricky because it happens so gradually. Most guys do not wake up one morning with a bald spot. Instead, they start noticing small changes over months or years. The key is knowing what to look for.
The most common first sign is a receding hairline. This usually starts at the temples, creating what people call an "M" shape. You might notice that your forehead looks a little BIGGER than it used to, or that your hair does not come down as far on the sides. Sometimes guys notice this when they are looking at old photos & comparing them to recent ones.
Another early sign is thinning at the crown of your head. This is the circular area at the very top & back of your scalp. You might not notice this yourself because it is hard to see without a mirror, but other people might point it out. Sometimes guys first notice it when someone takes a photo of them from above or behind.
Pay attention to your hairbrush & pillow too. While it is normal to lose some hair every day (we all lose about 50-100 hairs daily), you might start noticing more hair than usual. However, do not panic if you see hair on your pillow or in the shower - this could be temporary shedding from stress, illness, or other factors.
The texture of your hair might also change before you notice actual baldness. Your hair might feel thinner, finer, or less full than it used to. Some guys notice that their hair does not hold styles the way it once did, or that it looks flatter against their scalp.
What You Can Actually Do About It - Naturally
The good news is that you're not completely powerless against male pattern baldness. While you can not change your genes, there are proven treatments that can slow down hair loss & even help some hair grow back. The key is starting treatment early, before you have lost too much hair.

Daily Hair Care Strategies for Prevention
20 Minutes Before You Wash Your Hair
Massaging this product type into your scalp and hair twice a week 20 mins before you wash you hair is what is recomended by dermatologists.
This is what dermatologists recommend and in fact if your hair loss is excessive, they suggest that you leave it on all night.
Just wrap a towel around your head and let all the natural goodness soak in.
Before you use any cosmetic product you need to patch test it.
This is done very simply by applying a small amount to your forearm to check there is no reaction.
99.9% of the time there will not be but you still have to check.
We are currently developing an olive oil based shampoo and conditioner as a Hair Loss Treatment for Men until then only wash your hair with shampoos that do not have sodium lauryl sulphate a foaming agent fount in most shampoos.
Try a castile soap instead this will not dry your scalp as much as the shampoo with the foaming agent.
Manage stress to prevent hair loss acceleration
If your hair loss is caused by stress try and see it as a natural sign from your body communicating to you to leave the stressful environment.
