99% of male hair loss is genetic. It ocurrs because of receptor cells in the hair that is susceptible to DHT (dihydrotestosterone). It is also the source for BPH (benign prostate hyperplasia or enlarged prostate) Proscar came out in 1994 to combat BPH and hair growth was a side effect. Fast forward to 1996 and Proscar was repackaged in a lower dose wtih a new name and you have Propecia.

If you have hair loss, use Propecia and/or Rogaine. Those are the only two that work. Don't use lasers, don't bother with oils or shampoos. They don't stop true male pattern hairloss.
