The symptoms for male pattern hair loss are quite obvious, and for that reason alone, it can usually be diagnosed visually.
The baldness generally starts at the temples, and the front of the hair line. The hair in these areas becomes thinner and lighter, exposing the scalp, and can ultimately stop growing; this is when the hairline begins to recede.
Depending on the type of male baldness, this thinning and loss of hair can also happen on the crown of the head. Where you begin to lose hair is very much determined by heredity, as is the speed at which you shed hair.
This does not represent any major physical risk, however psychologically...
