Male-pattern baldness is hereditary but can be slowed.Extreme stress for a prolonged period of time, certain medications or drugs, an under-nurished diet, not enough water intake, wearing a cap/hat every day, overall poor health, using/abusing cigarettes, drugs, alcohol, and/or a recent illness/condition or surgery can cause balding.
