Men can start losing their hair at any age, but sufferers of male pattern baldness are likely to experience it sooner, sometimes as early as their in their teens or in their 20s. According to the NHS, about 25% of men start losing their hair by the time they are 30. It starts with thinning at the top of the head, with your hair line moving further back past your temples. Hair then starts thinning at the crown, gradually creating a bald spot.

Hair loss can affect your self esteem, but there are prescription treatments that can fight the causes of male pattern baldness and restore your hair. Propecia is a daily pill that stops hair loss in 99% of men and encourages new healthy hair to grow.

What is male pattern baldness?

Male pattern baldness is the most common form of hair loss and is scientifically known as androgenic alopecia. It usually begins between the ages of 20 and 30. If hair loss is apparent in other members of your family, then it is likely you will also experience it to some extent, as this condition is passed on from generation to generation.

The condition usually follows a similar pattern in all men, with a receding hair line developing first. The hair on the top of the head begins to thin, with a typical 'U' or 'M' pattern forming around the balding areas. It is also common for any hair left to be very thin and to grow less quickly than normal.

What causes hair loss?

Men who experience loss of hair will have areas of their scalp that are genetically sensitive to androgens which are a bi-product of the hormone testosterone. These hormones circulate naturally in the blood and can cause your hair follicles to shrink. With age, the androgens cause the hair follicles to shrink to such a small size that they are no longer capable of replacing hair that is naturally lost. The follicles are still active, but are unable to do their job anymore.
