Are you suffering from hair loss? Don’t worry, you are not alone. Male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) is the most common form of hair loss in the UK in men. It can start as early as the early 20s and occurs in 30% of men by the age of 30 and in 50% of men by the age of 50. Hair loss affects some individuals more than others and if it is affecting your confidence then it matters.
