Why Do People Go Bald?

Hair loss is a complex issue influenced by hormones and genetics. Testosterone converts to DHT, causing hair follicles to shrink, leading to male-pattern baldness. Females experience thinning post-menopause due to hormonal changes. Genetics also play a role, with certain genes on the X chromosome and chromosome 20 affecting hair loss. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil can help, but acceptance is also an option.
