Reasons and Causes for Early Bald | Advanced Hair Studio

Have you ever noticed your hairline receding day by day , or the hair around the crown of your head thinning, you might often wonder why this is happening and what is causing your hairline to recede. In this article, we aim to answer all the popular questions that are generally asked about Male baldness.

What age do men go bald?

If you notice that your hair is thinner than it used to be, or if the density of your hair is reducing at a rapid rate. Then you may derive some comfort from the fact that you are not alone in this. Male balding is a very common phenomenon that the majority of men will face in their lives.

According to various records, approximately 25% of men suffer from hereditary male pattern baldness and tend to start losing their hair even before the age of 21. By the age of 35, almost 66% of men might have experienced hair loss problems to some extent. Till the time they reach 50 years of age, about 85% of them have a significantly thinner hairline.

Why do some guys go bald early?

About 95% of hair loss problems in men is caused by male pattern baldness, which is caused by a genetic predisposition that men and women inherit from their parents. Dihydrotestosterone, also known as DHT is a hormone that is derived from testosterone.

This hormone helps in the development of male characteristics with the onset of puberty. Apart from that, DHT is also the main culprit which causes Male pattern baldness. It blocks the nutrient supply and blood flow of hair follicles.

This leads to depleted hair follicles, which do not support healthy hair growth. DHT also elongates the overall hair growth cycle, meaning it lengthens the time taken for hair to grow back.

In higher concentration, DHT can eventually lead to male pattern baldness by thinning out hair from various parts of the head. Some men are genetically prepositioned towards higher concentration of DHT, and tend to start losing their hair by their early teenage years. Furthermore, the sooner the onset of male pattern baldness, the greater will be the extent of hair loss.

Apart from male pattern baldness, following are some other factors that can lead to hair loss:

• Medical conditions: Several medical conditions can lead to early hair loss. These may include imbalance in Thyroid gland; autoimmune disease like alopecia areata, etc.
• Restrictive Hairstyles: Hairstyles that tend to pull back your hair tightly can also cause hair loss. The constant pulling of hair damages the hair follicles, and leads to hair fall.
• Unhealthy lifestyle: An unhealthy lifestyle, which includes unregulated diet, excessive smoking or drinking can lead to a number of health problems, including hair loss.
• Medications and drugs: Medications used to treat diseases such as Cancer, Arthritis, Heart problems, High blood pressure, can also lead to hair loss

Can a man’s hair grow back?

Unfortunately, in the world of male vanity, there are a lot of misconceptions and myths surrounding one’s persona and image. The answer to the question whether men’s hair grows back or not, depends on a number of factors.

For example, if you are noticing a bald spot on your head where new hair hasn’t grown in years, then you can rest assured that no new hair will grow in that area. This is due to the fact that once a hair follicle experiences hair loss, where its blood supply is cut off, it wont grow hair. But, in case the hair follicle is still intact, then yes, it is very much possible for the hair to grow back.

What is the best treatment to regrow hair?

There is no sure shot answer to hair loss, which can be caused by a plethora of reasons. However, if you have taken care of the underlying cause of your hair loss, and are still facing the issue of hair loss, then following are some surgical and non-surgical methods that can curb your lack of hair, giving you the hair that you have always wanted.

Surgical Hair-Loss Treatment

Hair Transplantation

Hair transplant is one of the most popular methods of regrowing hair. In hair transplant, hair follicles are extracted from either the back of the head, or the temples, and are placed in balding areas.

Hair transplantation is of two types:

Under FUT or Follicular Unit Transplantation, strips of hair follicles are removed from the scalp. Then, individual hair follicles are separated, which are later on grafted on the balding areas.

FUE or Follicular Unit Extraction is a hair transplantation technique wherein individual hair grafts are extracted from the areas which do not experience hair loss - back of the head and temples. Unlike FUT, FUE does not lead to any scarring as it does not include any sutures.

Non-surgical Hair Loss Treatment

Low-Level Light Therapy

LLLT or Low-Level Light Therapy, has been in the market for over a decade now. Under LLLT LED-lights are used to create cellular energy known as ATP. The outermost area of the scalp absorbs this ATP, which promotes the hair follicles to regrow. LLLT is suitable for people who are looking for in-house hair restoration methods.

Diet

It is no surprise that diet plays a pivotal role in determining the health of the hair. A proper and balanced diet can ensure faster hair growth, and can also decrease the overall hair fall. Consumption of essential fatty acids like Omega 3, Omega 6, and protein is essential for hair growth.

Hair wigs and hair patching

Hair wigs and hair patching are two of the most popular non-surgical solutions for hair loss problems. Hair patchingis basically an artificial hair wig made up of artificial materials. Wigs and hair patches are readily customizable and are affordable as well.
