Although it’s not completely understood, men go bald on their heads but not their bodies thanks to a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is a derivative of testosterone. Up to 10 percent of the body’s testosterone is converted into DHT starting from when a boy hits puberty. Both contribute to male sex characteristics, such as a deep voice and muscle mass growth.
While hair follicles on the legs, back, and other areas require the hormone to grow, DHT essentially causes hair follicles on top of the head to shrink and shut down prematurely. Genetics plays a large part in how likely a man is to experience this type of hair loss.

Hey Jingli
This is because you can't have male pattern baldness without having androgens (male hormones) the most important being testosterone which doesn't increase until puberty. Androgens also cause your voice to deepen, your sexual organs to mature and your facial, body and hair to grow.

What is the medical term for boldness?
The medical term for baldness is alopecia. Baldness is hair loss or absence of hair, and it can happen anywhere on the body where hair grows. There are many types of baldness, each with a different cause, and it can be localized to the front and top of the head, patchy, or involve the entire head. Male-pattern baldness is the most common form of alopecia, and it affects around 50% of men by the time they reach the age of 50. It is hereditary and thought to be associated with having an excess of a certain hormone, which has an effect on hair follicles.
What correlation does DHT have to baldness?
DHT, didydotesterone, is a byproduct of testosterone in the male body. DHT has been proven to shrink male hair follicles leading to male pattern baldness. Many men experiencing this phenomena are born with a genetic sensitivity to DHT.

Why do people go bald?
Obviously, baldness can be caused by physical removal of the hair by shaving and in stress disorders or with severe anxiety, it can be being pulled out by the individuals with an emotional condition (sometimes called trichotillomania). The most common benign form of baldness is male pattern baldness that is an inherited condition from either side of the family. It is also possible for some women to have hereditary baldness, although the patterns differ from male pattern baldness. Baldness can be an infrequent side effect of malnutrition, is present in radiation treatment or poisoning, and with chemotherapy or accidental exposure to some other chemicals that cause poisoning. Additional causes are fungal diseases; thyroid disorders; braids and ponytails pulled too tight too often; physiological "shocks to the system" like major surgery, pregnancy, high fever, and crash diets. Other more rare and infrequent conditions can also result in baldness of the head as well as hair on all parts of the body, such as alopecia areata. The exact cause is unknown, but it is likely an inherited genetic disorder that may be associated with autoimmune disease that causes the body to attack its own hair follicles.
Is neyo bald?
ITs a genenic trait, he prolly inherited from his dad, "Baldness involves the state of lacking hair where it often grows, especially on the head. The most common form of baldness is a progressive hair thinning condition called androgenic alopecia or "male pattern baldness" that occurs in adult male humans and other species. The amount and patterns of baldness can vary greatly; it ranges from male and female pattern alopecia (androgenic alopecia, also called androgenetic alopecia or alopecia androgenetica), alopecia areata, which involves the loss of some of the hair from the head, and alopecia totalis, which involves the loss of all head hair, to the most extreme form, alopecia universalis, which involves the loss of all hair from the head and the body"
Do bald men have pubic hair?
Hair grows fastest from the teens years to the 40's, then growth slows. The fact that hairs are not replaced as fats as they shed leads to hair thinning and some degree of baldness (alopecia). Most common type, male pattern baldness, is a genetically determined, sex-influenced condition. It's thought to be caused by a delayed-action gene that "switches on" in adulthood and changes the response of hair follicles to DHT (dihydrotestosterone), a metabolite of testosterone. As a result, the follicular growth cycles become so short that many hairs never emerge from their follicles before shedding, and those that do are fine vellus hairs that look like peach fuzz in the "bald" area.
