Male pattern baldness -- how does it happen?

The male pattern baldness is caused by genetic factors and hormones called androgens. The genetic balding pattern is acquired from both the parents.

It's more of a gene than anything else that causes balding. The male hormone testosterone more specifically known as di-hydro- testosterone, is the reason for the hair fall out. Interestingly, the balding pattern in men is found such that it affects only the top and the front of the head and not the back.

@ChaosDynamics If you are willing to try this experiment and prove or disprove this theory please go ahead. I'd rather be bald.

but my side of hair got thin too!

[Guitarscreech06]

So I'm one of the few men NOT being affected by this.... what does this mean in terms of genetics and hormones? *confused*

@Ladiestreat Never say never!

I'm so glad I'm not bald like you assholes.

@cottonwhiskersuk yes

for everyone who is asking why balding occurs only in the frontal area and mid of the scalp, that is because the lower sides of the head and the lower back of the head called " doner " area are not bond by the enzyme 5 alpha reductase which binds with testosteron to form the very famous DHT so they parts of the scalp are not affected by DHT thats why in hair transplant which is taken from these areas, the new hair is anti DHT and anti male pattern baldness

@orangedac yes, yes i know that they are more sensitive. I just don't know why. I think that it is someway connected with blood vessels, so if you for example exchange veins that supply crown with blood with those wich supply sides of the head you might get some good results. But i'm not a doctor, it's only my guess. Also sorry for my english, it's not very good. I'm bald - must get use to it :D
