Why do Men Go Bald?

3 Reasons Men Go Bald

Genes
People say that if your mother’s father was bald, you will go bald. But it’s probably more likely a mix of both your mother’s and father’s genes. So if both grandfathers were bald it’s probably inevitable and if neither were…….. you get the picture.

Hormones
The male hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a by-product of testosterone. In some men, it causes the old hairs on the scalp to be replaced with shorter thinner hair over time in a predictable way called male pattern baldness.

Lifestyle
Even if you’re lucky enough not have the genes run in your family or have huge amounts of DHT, your lifestyle – especially stress from either work or a traumatic life event – can still cause baldness. The good news is that sometimes this type of hair loss can be temporary and it can grow back. Unhealthy diets can also cause hair loss – I’m sure it’s no surprise to learn that lack of nutrients and minerals will lead to hair loss. The good news that this can also be reversed.

For a solution to hair loss, try scalp micropigmentation.
