Scientists believe DHT and family history are key factors in hair loss.

What is DHT, you ask? It’s a substance found in your body that can shrink the hair follicle until it no longer produces visible hair. In men with a family history of hair loss, DHT is believed to contribute to the progressive shrinking of hair follicles and a decrease in the number of visible hairs.

In short, if you have a family history of hair loss on either side of your family, you may have an increased risk for male pattern hair loss.
