There are many myths surrounding Male Pattern Baldness. One common misconception is that

Wearing hats or frequent shampooing can accelerate hair loss

In reality, these factors have little to no impact on the progression of Male Pattern Baldness.

Baldness Only Occurs in Older Men

Another myth is that hair loss is always inevitable with age. While it is true that many men experience some degree of hair thinning as they age, not all men will develop male pattern baldness.

Hair Loss Is Always Inherited from the Mother’s Side

While genetics certainly play a significant role in Male Pattern Baldness, the inheritence pattern is not as straightforward as commonly believed.  Baldness can be inherited from either parent or a combination of both.

Additionally, other factors such as hormonal imbalances and environmental influences can contribute to hair loss.

Hair Loss Cannot Be Regrown

It is true that Male Pattern Baldness cannot be fully reversed but there are effective treatments available that can slow down hair loss and promote hair growth.

For example, FDA-approved medications like minoxidil and finasteride have been shown to be effective in combating hair loss and stimulating new hair growth or advanced procedures like hair transplant surgery which will be a bit costly.
