Male Pattern Baldness is a genetic condition in which hormone levels affect hair production on the scalp and is the cause of 95% of those with hair loss. In men with baldness, testosterone is converted to DHT by Alpha-5 Reductase, an enzyme in the body, and DHT slows down hair production, resulting in shorter hair, and in some cases can actually halt hair production all together. There are many treatments available for male pattern baldness though, and the type of treatment depends on how severe your hair loss is, and if you are trying to regrow hair or just keep existing hair.

Mesh Fabric can provide a natural, undetectable hairline with a light, comfortable feel, but scalp oils will deteriorate the fabric quickly, and this more expensive treatment will need to be replaced frequently.

Polymers are much more durable than mesh fabric and also less expensive, though a natural hairline is not possible, and the material is very hot and heavy to wear.

Hair Pieces are often an inexpensive, effective way to conceal hair loss, with good quality ones being woven from exact matching human hair.

Surgical hair transplants can only be done by a doctor in a procedure in which DHT resistant follicles are transplanted from the back of the head to the area of hair loss.  This is an effective, yet most expensive (and most permanent) method of treating hair loss.

Remember, that only these treatments are recommended by the American Hair Loss Association, and anything else is usually a scam, so buyer beware! Also remember that the sooner you do something about hair loss, the easier it is to treat!
