Male Pattern Baldness

0 Comments



Male pattern hair loss is a very common condition affecting men of all ages. Usually it is related to genetics and male sex hormones, following a pattern of a receding hair line and thinning hair on the crown of the head. Male pattern hair loss affects at least 50% of men at some point in their lives, and possibly as many as 80% by the age of 70.  Why does this happen? Baldness occurs when hair follicles shrink over time; as a result the person attains shorter and finer hair.

Some people embrace it, while others seek to change this fate. Oddly enough, although it is not verbally spoken, most people feel a full head of hair has some significance. It's usually strength, virility, youth, and power. It seems to also take an emotional toll on men that have hair loss, such as feelings of frustration, depression, loss of self-esteem, social withdrawal, and even suicide.

There is a hair loss classification based on the severity known as the Hamilton-Norwood Scale, first introduced in the 1950s by Dr. James Hamilton and later revised by Dr. O'Tar Norwood in the 1970s.

Hamilton-Norwood Scale

The Hamilton-Norwood scale has seven types of classifications and several stages within those classifications. For example, within stage 5 there are three levels of progression including 5, 5A, and 5V, which show variations of a receding hairline with hair loss also in the crown of a man’s head.
