research Genetic Variation in the Human Androgen Receptor Gene Is the Major Determinant of Common Early-Onset Androgenetic Alopecia
Genetic variation in the androgen receptor gene mainly causes early-onset hair loss, with maternal inheritance playing a key role.

Baldness may be linked to heart disease, but the evidence isn't strong enough to consider it a major risk factor.
research Evaluation and Treatment of Male and Female Pattern Hair Loss
Early diagnosis and treatment, using finasteride, minoxidil, or hair transplantation, improves hair loss outcomes.
research Minoxidil: Mechanisms of Action on Hair Growth
Minoxidil boosts hair growth by opening potassium channels and increasing cell activity.
research An Open, Randomized, Comparative Study of Oral Finasteride and 5% Topical Minoxidil in Male Androgenetic Alopecia

research Use of Finasteride in the Treatment of Men With Androgenetic Alopecia
Finasteride effectively improves hair growth and slows hair loss in men with male pattern baldness.
research Androgen-Inducible TGF-β1 from Balding Dermal Papilla Cells Inhibits Epithelial Cell Growth: A Clue to Understanding Paradoxical Effects of Androgen on Human Hair Growth
Androgens may cause hair loss by increasing TGF-beta1 from scalp cells, which inhibits hair cell growth.
research A Randomized Clinical Trial of 5% Topical Minoxidil Versus 2% Topical Minoxidil and Placebo in the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia in Men
5% minoxidil works better for hair growth and density, with minor irritation.

Androgens can both promote and prevent hair growth due to differences in gene expression in hair follicles.
research Differences in Hair Follicle Dermal Papilla Volume Are Due to Extracellular Matrix Volume and Cell Number: Implications for the Control of Hair Follicle Size and Androgen Responses
Hair follicle size is mainly influenced by the number of cells and extracellular matrix volume, with cell number having a larger impact.

Early onset hair loss linked to genetics and androgen levels.
research Finasteride in the Treatment of Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
