Some men experience hair loss in their teens and early twenties, which is usually a result of the hormones which are raging in puberty, It makes some men in their teens and early twenties more at risk of losing their hair as testosterone is produced in a higher quantity during puberty than any other time of a man’s life even if there is no male-pattern baldness gene, This boost in hormones can still cause shrinkage of the hair follicles. Basically, men are more prone to a condition known as androgenic alopecia. This is a genetically inherited condition, often referred to as male-pattern baldness, and it starts with hair loss starting at the temples and receding back in to the characteristic “M” shape. Hair is also lost at the crown in most cases too. The condition increases activity of the androgen receptors in the hair follicles. These receptors respond to androgens like dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a by-product of testosterone that shrinks hair follicles and makes it hard for them to live. Because men are constantly producing testosterone throughout their lives, they are also constantly making DHT, and so it makes them more likely to lose their hair than women, who do not have a similar genetic disposition to hair loss.. According to the American Hair Loss Association, by the age of thirty-five, approximately two thirds of men will have lost a little hair. By the age of fifty, 85% will have experienced hair thinning or have lost a significant amount
