Baldness is caused by a mixture of genetics and hormones that we have very little control of. Though scientists are pretty close to identifying the genes responsible for baldness, (there’s more than one), the actual process of baldness is still quite a mystery. They are pretty sure that it is one particularly enzyme’s overzealous conversion of testosterone into (DHT) or dihydrotestosterone, an important part of male fetus development that causes baldness.

For some reason, science still isn’t sure why, these high levels of DHT react in a negative way with hair on the scalp, causing small hair follicles that ordinarily would be regenerating new hairs every 2-6 years, to shrink and render them useless to the creation of new hair. Again for some reason, and scientists don’t know about this one either, the hair on the sides of the head do not react the same way to DHT, leading to that “monk look” so common in men suffering from baldness.

Women suffering from baldness can blame powerful andogens created by the ovaries and adrenal glands combined with loss of estrogen for their hair loss. This is evidenced by a high-rate of female pattern baldness among women during menopause when testosterone levels are highest among women.

Some people get bald over stress, illness, or other medical problems. Lots of people lose 150 strands of hair a day, and maybe more fall out. But it always grow back again.

its from the family gene tree passed down.

but basically its just an less active cell than normal ones. same reason why some men have hairy chests and others don't, or why some have hairy backs and others don't. kinda at the DNA/cell level and how strong it is for what hair it will produce.

like myself.....I can't grow a complete beard of any type....how many Native Indians do you ever see with facial hair? just in the genes.

just like cancer, high blood pressure, etc.

evolved that way... either randomly drifted (as a side effect from changes the hormonal system wanted to make), or a culture decided it was attractive, or it helps get vitamin D from sunlight, or some combination of all these effects and many many more.
