Hair loss can occur in men as well as women. Loss of hair from any part of body is termed as alopecia. This can result in complete baldness also. Male pattern baldness or androgenetic alopecia is a condition in which men experience thinning of hair on the crown or circumference of the head. This is a result of weak hair follicles. Testosterone is the growth hormone present in men. Type II 5-alpha reductase is an enzyme which converts this testosterone into dihydrotestosterone which in turn weakens the hair follicles thus resulting into hair loss. Generally baldness tends to occur with age. But if it occurs at young age, it becomes a reason for worry.
