    Why do most men go bald on the top of their head first as apposed to going bald on the sides of their head?

    Are scientist trying to isolate the hair gene that helps hair grow on he top of the head just as strongly as the hair that grows on the sides of a man's head?

    Because they wear hats. A hair stylist told me that once. Hats promote baldness. Wear your hat outside for protection guys but taker it off in the car, in buildings and in the home. There was more to the act of respectfully removing ones hat in the old days. A lot of men were saving their hair and didn't even know it.

    You're joking of course.. LOL.. Male pattern baldness has no particular cause other than 'its in the genes'. It's caused by a plaque that forms around the follicle and after some time it chokes off the hair and the pore fills in. Lots of research at trying to 'clean the hole' but nothing is successful although there are claims beginning in Helsinki and now pretty much world wide with Rogaine and other chemical wonder hair growth agents, some will begin to show success but it never continues to satisfactory lengths and density.

    Not joking. It's what she told me and what was believed then, of course this was 20 years ago. I never really cared about male baldness so, I never checked into what she said. I just Google and some studies continue that attribute sweaty heads under hats and the sweat killing hair follicles.

    I have heard that one too Colleen.It's only in the past years or so that I have taken to wearing a hat oe a baseball cap everywhere.Until I was bald on top you had to fight me to get a hat on my head.A hairdresser told me to massage the top of my head everyday to stop my hair falling out.That didn't work either.

    Vinny:- Interestingly you inherit that gene from your mother.

    Tommy, That's what I heard as well. I think the Jury is still out on that though, too many inconsistencies.

    You should see my neighbor, balding all over his head with the exception of 8 hairs left and some yellow teeth.  Scientists should also do something about him.

    Tommyh

    Gee...Thanks for the mental image Chiang.LOL

    Yep, they are the classics, Tom.

    Funny thing about my Dad being bald...I never noticed it, 'cos he was that way my entire life.
    Tommyh

    Dardaigh

    Cousin! Ha ha ha...I said the same thing to Bulletman the other day. I'm claiming kinship all over the board. lol

    Probably because it's easier for their wives to beat them on top of the head (only 1 blow at a time required, while each side would require a separate bash)!

    Ahh Shuddap!
    Dardaigh

    Ha ha ha ha...that was hilarious! :D

    As a schooled, certified and experienced  Stylist and Salon owner I can tell you it's ALL Genetics!  One gene makes you lose it in the front and a different gene (more rare), makes you lose it at the crown.  That's it guys........Hats don't much factor in at all, unless you wear one 24/7 and suppress your blood supply to your scalp. Simple and real as that.  What's the problem, anyway?  Balder men are way more sexy, testosterone plays a factor in that gene playout and thus, balder men tend to be more sexually inspired and active!  Good with me!!


     

    It's b/c they think about sex too much.And all that heavy , hot , thinking rests so much on the top of their dura matter, that they lose their hair on the top of their head first.    ;-)

    Hair  I don't need nooo stinking  hair  LOL
