Time marches on ... and so can male pattern hair loss

Male pattern hair loss is nothing new. It’s not rare either. Hair loss and frontal balding occurs in stages and can start earlier then you think.

One trip around the office or a visit to a sports event will remind you that you’re not alone. In fact, male pattern hair loss affects about 50% of men by age 50. It can begin in your teens, 20s, or 30s, and before you know it, much of your hair may already be gone.

Without treatment, male pattern hair loss usually gets worse

The Norwood-Hamilton scale shows the progressive stages of male pattern hair loss. You may find using the scale helpful in identifying your hair loss stage. Left untreated, male pattern hair loss is a condition that usually gets worse.

Like you, most men would prefer to keep as much hair as possible. But unfortunately, desire alone does not keep hair from falling out. Your male pattern hair loss will most likely continue.
