Can somebody explain what that is in detail. I heard it's only in males and it has to do something with hairloss. Like the men that don't have it, I think never go bald.

This is not only in males. In the simplest terms: A gene is a piece of DNA that codes for a specific protein, in this case an androgen receptor. So when the cell puts this code into action it will make new androgen receptors. \n\nAndrogen receptors are present on specific organs.  Androgens are a type of steroid hormone, the most popular example being Testosterone, when these hormones interact with their receptor they cause a change in the cells activity or function. Some of the basic actions of androgens are development of male sex organs, but androgens act elsewhere in the body, at hair follicles, which is why you heard it may be involved in balding.

I heard that bald men are the best....at everything!!!  Yup, that's what I heard.

Actually, there has been some evidence that taking saw palmetto (an herb taken for prostate problems, which enlarges for the same reason men lose their hair) helps prevent thinning.

I have seen some balding dudes with shaved heads who are out with some smokin' hot women.\n\nOh, yeah, there's this balding dude at the gym and his wife works out with him and she is FINE FINE FINE, my man.

yes, i used to have it. I had long beatiful hair at one time. But i pulled it all out and yeah i was completly bald. It was caused by stress. I was about 13 at the time. and had just told my parents about a very traumatic thing that had happened to me. So much was going on at the time, i guess that is the only way i felt i could deal with it. I didn't have control of the situation at all. and it was very hard on me, and hard to accept. But i hope things will get better for your daughter. They did for me. It took about 3 yrs. until it completely stopped for me. Now i have a full head of hair. and things are starting to look up for me. I wish the best for you and your daughter. Take care and God bless. If you want to know anything more about my experience, you can email me if you want.

My first husband starting losing his hair at a very young age too and then it got drastically worse after he joined the military.  He went through a million doctors telling him the same things that I'm sure you're hearing but he finally found a doctor that told him that because he was a active in sports during his High School years and usually wore a baseball hat that he believed this added to it.  Then when he joined the military (and he always wore a hat)...he lost even more.  The doctor said that it wasn't healthy for your hair to always be covered by a hat and that sometimes the rubbing from the hat could also be a factor.  Do you wear hats alot?  That just might be the cause.  Good luck.

If I were going bald, I would definitely shave it all off.  I agree with you on men trying to save what they have, it looks retarded!

It is all a personal choice issue.  I think mostly it is one of those things everyone should try and find out for themselves.  As a guy the fur in the mouth hasn't ever bothered me but I know some guys get freaked out by it.  I also try to keep my area shaved because I know some women freak out about it also.  I've also known some women who have found that shaving allows for more sexual stimulation of the area and that they experience a lot more sensation down there when there is no hair in the way.  Regardless I still say go with what makes you feel best about you.

A full shave. When it's fully shaved, they don't know it's because you're bald.

Don't worry about it...baldness in a guy is soo sexy! But seeing a Dr. wouldn't hurt either, because sometimes hair falls as a result of a vitamin deficiency, so check that out and like I said, if you lose your hair it shouldn't be that big of a deal... I have a friend who was 20 when he first started losing his hair--now he's bald and happy with it! If you can't do nothing about it, just learn to live with it! Like I said before, bald men are sexy!

I think it's just the way it's genetically geared to happen. \n\nIndividual people in the same race vary a lot in respect to hair growth too. \n\nInteresting question.  I didn't know that.

Some men, particularly in some races, have little hair on their body, even on their face. Consider it a Godsend. Shaving may be easy for you for the rest of your life!!

my buddy in high school had one. they said the risk of something going wrong was extremely minimal. he said they only real problem was that he had to let some stranger shave his pubes for the surgery.

Have the doctor check your hormone balance.  A lack of some hormones will cause the body to become more male and therefore cause baldness.  \n\nProper diet is very important.  Be sure you are eating a balanced meals (lots of fruits and veggies).  You may need to take vitamins to help keep you vitamins intake at the proper level.  Look for a diet specialist, your doctor should be able to recommend someone or check the yellow pages.\n\nEating like a bird in this case could be a problem, be sure you are getting all the vitamins you need.  \n\nIf your doctor is not helping, I recommend contacting another doctor.  Some doctors do not care as long as they are paid.  There are good doctors out there, but sometimes it takes a lot of trial and error to find them.

I hear some guys do like that- I think some hair is important to show that you are a woman, I mean come on! I like a landing strip. Clean shaven to me is pre-pubescent! Yuk!

Believe it or not, I have headr such a thing myself. It is not true. Constantly covering one's hair does not make one's hair fall out and more or less.\nMale pattern baldness, on the other hand, is the usual culprit.
