hair in the temples
Why do we lose hair in the temples?
Your hair follicles at the temples are more fragile and sensitive than the hair follicles at the nape of your neck. Although hair lossis individual, the temples are a common area of hair loss, and where hair loss begins for many men.
When hair loss starts varies from person to person. It is most common for men to lose hair at the temples around the age of 25-35. Some lose hair early and others lose hair later, or never.
Women who suffer from high temples have a decreased amount of estrogen and an increased amount of testosterone in their body.
Reduced oestrogen production occurs, for example, as women get older – but not all women suffer from high temples and thinning hair. Some diseases lead to increased testosterone levels in women, such as PCOS.
Why hair loss occurs at the bends is due to the increased production of the hormone DHT(dihydrotestosterone) in the body. DHT contributes to the shrinkage of hair follicles, which in turn causes hair to thin and eventually fall out.
