What is baldness?
The most common form of baldness seen is male pattern baldness, in which the hair recedes from the front of the head, and a bald patch develops on top. The trigger for this type of baldness, which is also known as androgenetic alopecia, is currently believed to be an enzyme, 5-alpha reductase, that converts the hormone testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which inhibits hair growth. The age at which the enzyme appears, if it does at all, is genetically determined.
