Male pattern baldness generally occurs due to high levels of testosterone and in particular dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which has an adverse affect on the hair follicles. Most hair loss treatments involve the blocking of DHT which prevents further hair loss. Notable hair loss treatments include Provillus and Rogaine (which contains Minoxidil).
