The reason for mens hair loss

Let's first state that it is common for men to lose hair today. For some, it already starts in their 20s, while others don't notice their hair thinning until their 40s and 50s. The research shows that the problem is not constant, but on the contrary increases every year.
The cause of male hair loss is a male sex hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This hormone affects the hair follicles so that growth is inhibited. The effect is that the hair lightens in color but also becomes thinner to finally start falling out - without coming back. The hairline creeps upwards more slowly and the characteristic "folds" appear.

What exactly is hair?
You can easily divide a strand of hair into two parts. Partly the part that we see, namely the hair shaft, which is also called the hair shaft. We don't see the other part and it is the hair root itself that is immersed in the hair follicle. Each hair follicle is surrounded by sebaceous glands and – quite amazingly – a muscle.
