What is Male Pattern Hair Loss?

Male pattern hair loss typically begins in the early 20s, with gradual thinning at the hairline or crown. Over time, it expands, leaving noticeable gaps and affecting overall volume. This progressive condition is driven by a combination of genetics and hormones, and affects around 85% of men at some point in their lives. While common, it can still be frustrating, but with the right approach, it’s possible to slow or even reverse the process.

What Causes Male Pattern Hair Loss?

The primary cause of male pattern hair loss is a sensitivity to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone derived from testosterone. This can be triggered by:

Seven Stage Of hair Loss

Signs & Symptoms of Male Pattern Hair Loss

  • Receding hairline: The hairline gradually moves backward, forming an "M" shape.
  • Thinning at the crown: Hair becomes sparse and starts to thin at the top of the head.
  • Hair loss progression: The affected areas may expand, resulting in larger bald spots or complete baldness in severe cases.
  • Increased hair shedding: Hair shedding may be more noticeable during showers, brushing, or on pillowcases.

Stages of Male Pattern Hair Loss

Stage 1: The first stage is characterised by a mature hairline, with no visible signs of hair loss or receding at the temples. Hair density is typically normal.

Stage 2: In this stage, there is a slight recession of the hairline at the temples, forming a mild "M" shape. However, the hair loss is still relatively minimal, and it may go unnoticed by some individuals.

Stage 3: Hair loss becomes more noticeable at this stage, with a deeper recession at the temples, creating a more pronounced "M" shape. There may also be thinning or loss of hair at the crown (vertex) area.

Stage 4: Hair loss progresses further at the temples and crown, resulting in a more distinct "M" shape. The hairline may recede significantly, and the thinning or balding at the crown becomes more prominent.

Stage 5: The "M" shape of the hairline becomes more severe, and the hair loss at the crown area progresses. The two areas of hair loss may eventually merge, leaving a band of hair that separates the receding hairline from the balding crown.-

Stage 6: At this stage, the bridge of hair separating the receding hairline and the balding crown diminishes further. The hair loss becomes more extensive, leaving larger areas of visible scalp.

Stage 7: The most advanced stage of male pattern hair loss, stage 7 is characterised by extensive hair loss across the entire top of the scalp. Only a narrow band of hair remains along the sides and back of the head.
