Going bald in your 20s or 30s? You're not alone - here's what to do about it
The UK is officially one of the top 12 baldest countries on Earth and most Brits who have treated it, regret not starting sooner.
A recent survey conducted by World Population Review found that Spain is home to the highest percentage of men losing their locks.
Following closely behind are the likes of Italy (44.37 percent), Germany (41.51 percent), and Canada (40.94 percent).
In at number 12 is the UK with a whopping 40.09 percent of blokes struggling with male pattern baldness.
More common in men, premature balding can happen for a large number of reasons.
According to the NHS, causes range from hormonal changes and weight loss to stress or medical conditions.
What is the cause of excessive hair loss in men?
According to recent stats, hair loss affects around 6.5 million men in the UK, and it can be caused by a huge number of factors.
For some men, it's simply hereditary and can start in your early twenties or thirties.
Hair loss can also be caused by lifestyle changes such as stress, illness or weight loss.
It's recommended that you speak to a medical professional to understand the cause of your hair loss before seeking treatment.

Another review reads, "I started Hims for hair growth four months ago and it's amazing! No more bald spot on my crown and my hair is very thick like it was in my mid twenties. I now need a haircut every two weeks and the woman who cuts my hair can't believe it."
