The problem

For a lot of guys, hair loss starts earlier than they would have ever expected—in fact two out of three guys will experience some form of hair loss by the time they’re 35. Many men first notice thinning hair and a lack of hair growth at the crown. Over time, a thinning crown can quickly spread across the scalp, creating a bald spot.

It’s normal to shed 50 to 100 hairs per day. More hair loss than that could be a sign of male pattern baldness.

The cause

Male pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is the most common cause of a thinning crown. Genetics are the biggest factor in how susceptible you are to hair loss. So, if members of your family have a bald spot or thinning crown, there’s a good chance you’ll experience similar hair loss and thinning hair as well.

The solution

Luckily, there is an FDA-approved topical treatment that is clinically proven to increase hair growth. Minoxidil works by stimulating your hair follicles to grow more hair, which can increase growth by up to 35%. If you’re experiencing a receding hairline, your doctor may also recommend that you take finasteride, which is clinically proven to prevent hair loss.
