At What Age Can Male Pattern Baldness Begin?


How young is too young for male pattern baldness to begin? Male pattern baldness, also referred to as androgenetic alopecia is by far the most common type of hair loss. 95% of all hair loss types are genetically influenced and approximately 40% of women and 70% of men will be affected by hair loss in their lifetime.

It’s normal for anyone experiencing hair loss to have a lot of questions, and a frequently asked question that we receive is, “At what age can male pattern baldness start?” In this article, we discuss male pattern baldness and at what age a person can start to experience it.

Male Pattern Baldness
This type of hair loss in men occurs in a distinct pattern that progresses over many months or years. The pattern starts with a receding hairline, typically making an exaggerated “M” shape, and thinning of the crown. Over time, the loss progresses to baldness on top and in many cases, only hair around the side and back of the head remains. The hair loss is so predictable that a classification scale, referred to as the Norwood Scale, was developed.

Norwood Scale:


In women, androgenetic alopecia doesn’t tend to form a pattern, but rather appears as diffuse hair loss across the entire scalp.

Male pattern baldness occurs when androgenetic hormones cause the hair growth cycle to shorten, hair miniaturises and then sheds. Over time, hair is lost faster than it can grow, resulting in a receding hairline and baldness.

At What Age Can Androgenetic Alopecia Start?
Hair loss happens at different rates and at different stages of life for everyone, however 55% of men have noticeable hair loss by the age of 40. Early signs of male pattern baldness appear around the age of 25 to 35 for many men. Over time, the hair continues to recede and thin.

Seeking advice from a hair restoration expert can help you understand the rate at which you are losing hair and the possible treatment options available.

Since it is a surgical process that involves permanent alteration to one’s looks, it is important to dwell deeper into this matter. The last 10 years have been extremely eventful for the hair transplant industry in India. 10 years back, there were only a few plastic surgeons, who along with their plastic surgeries, used to perform some hair transplant procedures sporadically. The only method of hair transplant known to them was the invasive and extremely painful  “Strip method” which is also called “ FUT ” (Follicular Unit Transplant ). Strip surgery or FUT  is a traditional technique where a "strip" of skin is removed from the back of the scalp and the resulting gap is stitched together with sutures.
