Best Answer

Baldness is hereditary, and its caused by naturally occurring high levels of testosterone in the blood stream of that individual. The high levels of testosterone cause a diminished blood irrigation to the follicles of the hair on the scalp, therefore the hair grow ever thinner and weaker and finally stops growing when the follicle dries up and dies.

Does Pantene cause boldness for boy's?

Pantene does not cause baldness for boys unless one happens to have a sensitivity to it or one of its ingredients. If you suspect that it is Pantene causes the baldness, seeing an allergist will help to determine if you have an allergy to it. If you do not have an allergy, there may be another cause, including hormonal imbalances that need to be addressed by a physician.
