According to the American Hair Loss Association, around 85 per cent of men will have significantly thinning hair by the time they’re 50 and for many the process will have begun even before they were 21.
Male pattern baldness is incredibly common and generally has a genetic cause. The gene in question can be inherited from either parent. There are also many other causes for losing hair and medication can treat some.
However, there is no wonder cure. There is no one treatment that is guaranteed to restore your hair and any product that makes such a claim should be viewed sceptically. There are some good products out there, like Rogaine and Minoxidil, which have been proven to address hair loss in many cases, but even these don’t come with guarantees and you will have to continue using them to see lasting effects.
The best thing to do is consult your GP or a dermatologist who will be better placed to identify the cause of your hair loss. Only then can an appropriate treatment be recommended.
