March 14, 2008, Newsletter Issue #129: Hair Loss Pattern
Tip of the Week

Hair follicles are still alive on the top of the head, but they're no longer growing hairs. Hair follicles on the back and sides of the head, however, aren't affected by DHT, an enzyme that shrinks hair follicles. They continue to grow hair at a normal rate. Then, you get the monk look.
