A review is a general study from past records and facts. In the case of male pattern baldness, one can review male pattern baldness from records that are available on the net. Before we look at how one can carry out a review on male baldness, we are going to look at the causes of male baldness.

Male baldness or commonly called male pattern baldness, is a particular kind of baldness that is caused by genetic predisposition to testosterone. Testosterone is converted to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the presence of an enzyme 5-alpha-reductase. DHT causes hair follicles to shrink as well as causing the blood vessels that supply hair follicles to the scalp shrink. This causes the thinning of hair in the scalp. This particularly occurs in the crown of the scalp. In time, males begin to show some signs of hair loss above the scalp.

Now we will look at how one can review male pattern baldness. One good way to do this is to go on the internet. The interne provides information on the causes of male pattern baldness as well as providing all the statistics and data collected on males that experienced the disorder. Necessary information that is important in this review will be the link between this kind of baldness and the hormone testosterone. Collecting all the information in the review will help clarify the role testosterone plays in the actual development of male pattern baldness.

Male pattern baldness, though genetically predisposed the time at which it starts, seems not to be genetically determined, but seems to be determined by an individuals lifestyle and feeding habits. In baldness reviews, you will be able to collect information on people who belong to the same families and analyze the ages at which they developed baldness. From this data it will be evident that even persons in the same family will not develop baldness at the same time. This then means there are other factors involved in the development of baldness.

Common causes of early balding include drug use. Drugs such as alcohol and nicotine when abused can cause problems that are associated with the blood and respiratory systems. Smoking can damage the lungs which will result in reduced oxygenation of the blood. This has the effect of reducing the amount of oxygen that reaches cells such as hair follicles. The result is that hair will show some signs of thinning and increased loss. Nicotine from cigarettes also constricts blood vessels thus further hindering the free flow of blood to hair follicles. This will chock hair follicles, starving them to death, causing baldness.

People that go on a healthy diet will retard the onset of baldness at an early age. A healthy diet ensures that hair follicles are healthy and strong and even in the presence of DHT they can withstand its effects and not shed off hair. When we review male pattern baldness in this way, we will be able to understand this disorder better and be better prepared to deal with it.
