Male pattern baldness is attributed to various factors like hypothyroidism, which causes thinning and balding of eyebrows. Some medical treatments like chemotherapy can lead to hair loss and balding in some cases. Heredity is also a main cause for male pattern baldness, which passes from one generation to another.<\/p>\n
