Commonly, men blame stress, side effects of medication, and serious diseases for their hair loss. However, the most possible cause of this problem is Androgenetic Alopecia or Male Pattern Baldness (MPB) which is primarily being inherited by the men involved. It compromises 95% of hair loss in men. Men who suffer under this trouble acquire hair follicles that are sensitive to dihydrotestoterone (DHT), which is a by-product of Testosterone. It changes to DHT with the support of the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase. The combination of these decreases hair follicles by reducing its lifespan and preventing it from producing good quality of hair.
