Losing Some Hairs?

This is a problem all men alike, which leads to hair transplant or some hair growing treatment. I don’t think its bad, it just natural in my opinion.

It is cause by different kinds of reaction within the body or its hereditary.

An additional bald patch may develop on top (vertex). The trigger for this type of baldness (called androgenetic alopecia) is DHT, a powerful sex hormone and hair growth promoter that can adversely affect the hair and prostate.^[2]

The mechanism by which DHT accomplishes this is not yet understood. In genetically-prone scalps, DHT initiates a process of follicular miniaturization. Through the process of follicular miniaturization, hair shaft width is progressively decreased until scalp hair resembles fragile vellus hair or “peach fuzz” or else becomes non-existent. Onset of hair loss sometimes begins as early as end of puberty, and is mostly genetically determined. Male pattern baldness is classified on the Hamilton-Norwood scale I-VIII.

It was previously believed that baldness was inherited. While there is some basis for this belief, both parents contribute to their offspring’s likelihood of hair loss. Most likely, inheritance is technically “autosomal dominant with mixed penetrance”

I won’t spend money just to gain what I’ve lost. If I get bald then I’ll boost my confidence just to cover up that sickness or whatever it is.
