In everyday life, a careful look around will reveal that there are significantly more balding men than women. Take celebrities for example, Darwin, Putin and Hitchcock have baldness as a common feature. Male pattern baldness accounts for 95% of overall hair loss The number of hairs in the human body is determined from birth. As the hair grows from early childhood to young adulthood, it gradually becomes thicker, and between the ages of 20 and 22, the small amount of hair on the forehead gradually falls out from the front to the back, stopping at a certain point and forming a fixed “hairline”. However, for those who carry the genetic hair loss gene, the hairline will continue to recede, and this natural phenomenon is called male pattern baldness. In male pattern baldness, the hair gradually becomes thinner and weaker, and gradually morphs into sweaty hairs that are not visible to the naked eye. Male pattern baldness accounts for 95% of all hair loss. Male pattern baldness is genetically determined. Hair loss that begins after the age of 50 is also a normal physiological aging phenomenon. Today, however, many young men are losing their hair before they get old – their hair is gradually thinning and finally falling out. Why are men more prone to hair loss than women? For a long time, experts have believed that androgenic baldness is genetically related. Research results published in Nature Genetics revealed that genetic variants in the AR gene, which encodes the androgen receptor, and in the short arm of chromosome 20 (20p11.22) locus, are associated with androgenetic alopecia. By conducting relevant tests on 1,125 Swiss Caucasians, researchers from the UK, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Iceland have finally discovered that male baldness is genetically determined. Two tips to help you determine if you have hair loss Compared to male pattern baldness, hair loss in women, in general, appears later, develops more slowly and has milder symptoms than in men. The main manifestation is hair thinning, especially at the top of the head, while high frontal shedding is less common. In addition to being able to visually see the hair loss, what other methods are there to determine that you are losing hair? 1. Observe the hair on the top of the head and the back of the head area. If the amount of hair on the top of the head is significantly less than the hair on the back of the head, it should be treated. 2.Run your fingers together through the hair. See if there is a lot of hair falling out between the fingers, if three or five hairs fall out between the fingers do not need to panic, it is possible that the part of the hair you stroke by hand is in the stage of natural shedding, but if each stroke, and is a different part, there are more than 5 hairs, it is necessary to be alert.
