Let's face it, not knowing the actual main cause of male hair loss will make it difficult to find a treatment that will actually work, especially when there is so many on the market to choose from.
  This article discusses the primary cause of male hair loss and what you need to do in order to prevent balding and grow back your hair.
You may have been told that wearing a hat all the time or having oily skin causes hair loss, but that's far from the truth.
  In fact, there's really only one main cause of male hair loss (unless you have some sort of disease, are on a certain medication, or have had cancer treatment).
You may not believe it, it was already decided before you were even born that you were going to experience hair loss.
  It's actually an inherited condition and you can't do much to avoid it..
..
until recently.
Once we found out what the main cause of male hair loss was, it became possible to actually prevent it from happening.
  What happens is you inherit a high sensitivity to a testosterone byproduct called dihydrotestosterone, or DHT.
  What DHT does is bind to your follicles, causing them to shrink and fall out.
  But thanks to advancements in science, you now have a few options to take to fight this cause of male hair loss and even help encourage it's regrowth.
There are ONLY 2 specific substances that are approved by the FDA to treat hair loss.
  The one that was most recently approved is Finasteride (better knows as Proscar and Propecia).
  This is an oral prescription medication that has worked wonders for many people who have tried it.
Be aware though that not everyone feels totally comfortable taking this medication simply because there's a small chance (about 2%) that you'll develop impotence, erectile dysfunction, decreased libido, or some other kind of adverse sexual side effect.
Thankfully, there's another FDA-approved solution as well and it's called Minoxidil.
  This is applied topically to the scalp and no prescription is required to get it.
  And even though it doesn't work just just as many people, it's still an acceptable form of treatment.
