After so many years of hair loss research this question is still
widely debated. There is no straight forward answer, and no real cure.
There are many factors that go into an individual if its a man or a
woman to loses hair. While it is more common for men to lose hair many
women also experience hair loss especially as they age. Many experts
found a link between the immune-system and balding, linking to this is
also a male hormone DHT. This hormone is believed to attack the hair
follicle causing male-pattern baldness resulting in destructive
inflammation that slowly destroys the follicle's ability to produce
terminal hair.
Another factor possibly related to hair
loss is elevated androgens. This triggers an increase in the production
of
sebum (oil) , this also leads to inflammation. The hair begins to
progressively miniaturizes under the fading autoimmune attack,
so that with each following growth cycle the hair gets shorter and
thinner
until it finally turns into peach fuzz.
Male pattern
baldness has multiple contributing factors once
the process has began. Some of the things to take in account is damage
to blood vessel linings which prevent a growth factor they normally
produce. Similarly it has been observed that severe baldness is strongly
connected with heart disease and even
diabetes. There are likely other
factors as well.
