Baldness is caused not by losing hair, but by not regrowing lost hair.\n\nYou can lose a ton of hair but not go bald, so long as your body can regrow from that follicle.\n\nBaldness is caused by the death of the follicle.  In men, testosterone can cause those follicles to die.  Once gone, no more hair can grow.

it is a mixture of stress, genetic link and biologically changes in your body, your dietcan also influnce it! I started balding at 19, (my grandad was bald by 18 so i've done well!) My girlfriend also is greying and shes under 30, but she does stress out a lot.

Simply that baldness is a sign of virility and acne is a sign of worry.  There may be other assumed conditions that apply, but I see that your looking for the simple answer.

Normal Hair Loss\nThere are a number of reasons why men start to go bald, but if you are a man between the ages of about 20 to 45 and you start to lose scalp hair, then the chances are 95 per cent certain that you are experiencing male pattern baldness. As the term suggests, male pattern baldness follows a typical sequence or pattern. \n\nSponsored Links\nHair Loss Chart\nRanking of the top hair loss products for 2006!\nwww.Hair-Loss-Report.com\n\nTips for Fixing Hair Loss\nSee how I did it. 92% success.

Initial thinning of hair progresses over a number of years and may lead to total baldness but more typically loss of hair over the top surface of the head.\nThe Cause of Male Pattern Baldness\nMost men are genetically predisposed to male pattern baldness. It is the effect of hormones on the hair follicle that produces male pattern baldness. Testosterone, a hormone that is present in high levels in males after puberty, is converted to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. DHT has an adverse affect on the hair follicles. Acting on a hormone receptor on the hair follicle it slows down hair production and produces weak, shorter hair, sometimes it stops hair growth from the follicle completely. This process gradually depletes your stock of hair and is normal hair loss.\n\nHair loss, Illness or Disease\nGo to your doctor if:\nYou lose hair suddenly, if your hair loss is in clumps or significant enough that you notice large amounts on your pillow, covering the back of your clothes or when you wash your hair. This type of hair loss does not represent typical male baldness, but it does require a diagnosis. Don't worry

hair growth is primarily involved in protecting underlying structures, and for the purposes of keeping warm.  Gorilla's have hair all over and some maybe longer, if it is the arms this would indicated they are vulnerable parts exposed to trauma and cold.  we too are covered in hair but most of it is very short.  we have evolved our hair pattern to provide protection to our vulnerable areas...such as the head, the genitals, the arm pit, eyebrows.  however many men have hairy chests too, they dont need protection here anymore but evolution hasnt caught up with us yet...and maybe it serves as attaction feature for females.  Hairyness is related to high levels of testosterone so u should thinkabout that fact too...testosterone fueled males are more attractive to females

Well, since more men have pubic hair than women, since many women shave it and few men do, it makes sense that there would be more hair in the mens bathroom. Think about it, here's an example: At PapaPizza in one day, 100 men and 100 women each use the bathroom. 97 men have pubic hair, 67 women do. So, there will be 30 more people to lose hair in the men's room than the women's. It's just simple logic!

Sounds like you have an early case of the female version of male patterning baldness.  Tough break, girl.\n\nIs your hair falling out or is it just not growing there?\nTry taking a multivitamin for whatever vitamins or minerals you are deficient in.  Then go to your doctor.  And check out Rogaine.

Actually, your hair keeps growing throughout your life (excluding the upper scalp hair on some men). It's just that the hair folicles each have a programed length to which the hair shaft will grow. When the shaft reaches that length, it falls out and a new one starts to grow. Obviously, for some folicles, this programed length is longer than it is for others. That is why body hair is usually shorter than head hair. This is also why it is silly for a man to start worrying about going bald just because he sees some hairs in his brush. We are all constantly shedding hairs that have reached their maximum length. So, seeing a few hairs come off is normal. You only need to worry about it if you see an actual thinning of the hair.

Well, regardless what anyone thinks, males have dominated society as we know it, even before Jesus' time. As styles and fashion changed, so did the places we shaved. \n\nToday, most people are into the hairless thing. Eyebrows or the lack of them would look stupid because it leaves you expressionless, around the eyes. I know because I've shaved mine off once (don't ask). \n\nMen don't shave their legs because it's a pain in the a$$! Women shave them because we made them do it. Men who had stroke imposed upon women the notion that, a smooth hairless body is beautiful. For the purpose of being accepted and being successful in attracting a mate, given those standards, women began doing that.\n\nI find this odd, especially considering, in nature, the males are the ones that have to go through all the b.s. to court the female of the species. Look at birds, for example. Why do you always see male animals fighting? To impress the females. \n\nOur species has every thing, a$$ backwards in some respects. But we're apes and apes are nutty.\n\nIn regards to the shaved heads, ask a balding guy what he wishes he could change physically about himself and I'll bet included in his top 5 answers is, I'd want my hair back. Look at lions, a full maine is an important symbol of masculinity. Just as it is a symbol for females. Although, now we are much more open minded and have embrassed the shaved look. I'm one of millions who has done this. \n\nStyles change with time. Self expression will never be limited to one idea. People who change the way they look are often of the idea, that they can change themselves.

You might want to start with Nioxin products, and then if no luck move on to minoxodil (Rogaine).  There is also a drug that inhibits Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) called Propecia.  DHT is the main reason people go bald.

Causes of Excessive Hair Loss\n\nThe rate of hair shedding in androgenic alopecia is speeded up by three forces: advancing age, an inherited tendency to bald early, and an over-abundance of the male hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) within the hair follicle. DHT is a highly active form of testosterone, which influences many aspects of manly behavior, from sex drive to aggression. \n\nThe conversion from testosterone to DHT is driven by an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase, which is produced in the prostate, various adrenal glands, and the scalp. Over time, the action of DHT causes the hair follicle to degrade and shortens the anagen phase. Thought the follicle is technically still alive and connected to a good blood supply--it can successfully nurture a transplanted follicle which is immune to the effects of DHT--it will grow smaller and smaller (figure 3). Some follicles will gradually die, but most will simply shrink to the size they were when you were born which produce weaker hairs. With a steadily shorter anagen growing cycle, more hairs are shed, the hairs becoming thinner and thinner until they are too fine to survive daily wear and tear. Balding hair gradually changes from long, thick, coarse, pigmented hair into fine, unpigmented vellus sprouts. \n\nHowever, the sebaceous gland attached to it remains the same size. As the hair shafts become smaller, the gland continues to pump out about the same amount of oil. So as your hair thins, you will notice that your hair becomes flatter and oilier. \n\nBut the hormonal link in balding is complex. Eunuchs, who produce no testosterone, never go bald -- even if carrying a baldness gene. However, if castrated men with a family history of baldness are given testosterone, they lose hair in the classic horseshoe-shaped pattern. \n\nStudies show that while balding men don't have higher than average circulating testosterone levels, they do possess above-average amounts of a powerful testosterone derivative, dihydrotestosterone in the scalp follicles. In male balding, genetically primed follicles convert circulating testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, which successively diminishes or miniaturizes follicle size, producing ever weaker hairs. With a steadily shorter anagen growing cycle, more hairs are shed, the hairs becoming thinner and thinner until they are too fine to survive daily wear and tear. Balding hair gradually changes from long, thick, coarse, pigmented hair into fine, depigmented vellus sprouts. \n\nOther physiological factors might cause hair loss. Recently, a group of Japanese researcher reported a correlation between excessive sebum in the scalp and hair loss. Excessive sebum often accompanying thinning hair is attributed to an enlargement of the sebaceous gland. They believed excessive sebum causes an high level of 5-alpha reductase and pore clogging, thus malnutrition of the hair root. \n\nAlthough this condition could be hereditary, they believe diet is a more prominent cause. The researchers note that Japanese hair was thick and healthy, with a small gland and little scalp oil, until the occidental habit of consuming animal fat crept into their diet after World War II. This change has led to a significant height increase in the Japanese population, but it has also resulted in more Japanese men losing hair. To some extent, their observation makes sense since problems with greasy hair have often been noted as much as six months to a year prior to when thinning hair becomes noticeable, but this might be just one of the symptoms, not underlying cause, more research is needed. Most doctors agree that if you have a oily scalp with thinning hair, frequent shampooing is advised. shampooing can reduce surface sebum, which contains high levels of testosterone and DHT that may reenter the skin and affect the hair follicle.
