AGA, which stands for Androgenetic Alopecia, is also known as male pattern hair loss.

By their 30s, about half of men notice changes in hair density, and among them, roughly 50% feel that the hair on their forehead hairline or the top of their head has thinned.

Generally, genetics and male hormones (such as dihydrotestosterone, DHT) are considered the main causes.
