Whats up with balding??
    #6640856 - 03/06/07 10:08 AM (16 years, 11 months ago)

Is it all genetic?  Is it do to diet and stress?  Wearing hats?  Improper hygiene?

So whats the scoop? :scream:

Male pattern balding is androgenetic alopecia. It is caused by hormone changes in the blood. People experiencing this usually tend to have a higher level of DHT (dihydrotestosterone) and lower levels of total testosterone. There is evidence that suggests genetic links, particularly in the case of 5-alpha-reductase (the enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT). Diet and exercise may also have an impact on balding, as Japan saw a large increase in incidence when the country began adopting a higher calorie, higher fat diet and more sedentary lifestyle. Studies show that daily vigorous exercise may reduce levels of free testosterone and DHT, thereby helping to prevent balding.

As far as I know there is no link to wearing hats or hygiene.

I'm pleased to say that baldness does not run in my family.  The only men that have gone bald had cancer.

Unfortunately cancer seems to run in my family :frown:

See all them men on my dads side are bald, while the men on my moms side all had full heads of hair, when they were layed in their graves.

I noticed my hair has receded just a shade, on the corners of my forehead.

So i wonder if it's my hormones, and diet.

Also wondering if i can stop it, or reduce it.

I would think the best way to reduce it is to reduce your stress level.

I don't know, i got used to it,, it doesn't bother me at all.
I started going when i was 20.
My brother hates it, spends loads of cash on all sorts of products.
He is receding slightly slower but it hasn't stopped anything, now he just walks around with a gay hair cut looking like a twat.

Everyone on my mums side apart from my mom has died from cancer lol,, the joy.

He still has a little tuft at the front so he's grown it abit, bleached it white then fluffed it out so you can't see the bald patch behind.

just shave your head and go really bald. it helps to get a tan.

My dad is bald, but my uncle has a rather full head of hair. Many have commented that I look more like my uncle, so hopefully that's a good sign.

ive been losing my hair for about a year now..like significantly.

im about one month away from getting a buzz-cut, and just not caring anymore. in fact, i dont care about hairloss right now. you guys are right, it's just another slice of vanity.
besides, thinning hair doesnt even look that bad. it's just like a different style.
no body cares :shrug:
it's just a part of who you are.

Yeah i really don't care if i do. Don't care if i don't.

Just crossed my mind.

But yesterday i noticed that when i didn't drink enough water, by the end of the day my head started to itch a lot. I wonder if chronic dehydration can play a key in hair loss.......

Mine's really starting to thin out in the front.  It kind of bothered me at first but I refuse to try any of those hair care products.  I'd rather just shave my head. :shrug:
