Not every trait has an evolutionary advantage. As long as it doesn't have a disadvantage, there's no reason to be rejected. So additional genetic baggage just stays.

The loss of most body hair was evolutionary advantageous, so evolution just kept going, removing more and more hair. Now the momentum is too great and it's taking a lot of time for evolution to reveres this.

If you are white maybe it serves the function of absorbing vitamin D, given that we need more as we age

My hair started thinning when I was 20 or so (looks like mis Norwood 2 and 3 pattern). Essentially what I do is maintain antioxidant status with vitamin C and NAC, good diet, etc. I wash my hair with a plain castille soap mix with 1-2 drops rosemary essential oil, peppermint essential oil, and lavender essential oil. Rarely I'll soak my scalp in a water extract of polygonum multiflorum, guarana seed, and ashwagandha. I know about soaking your scalp in a coffee extract (similar to rogaine) but haven't tried it. Massage the scalp well and leave te lathered soap in for a bit.

My hair has begun to regrow.

Why do so many people not get how evolution works? If it's don't effect your chance of reproducing it want be effected by evolution.
If guys had a gene mutation that made them straight up exploded at 50 it wouldn't matter to evolution so long as women couldn't tell who was going to explode.

Look into azelaic acid. It is a DHT inhibitor that is not pharmajew-approved to treat androgenic alopecia, only because it is much better and safer than (((finasteride))) at doing so.

ITT: fucking idiots. Balding is a secondary sexual characteristic of men.

In case you haven't noticed, in a lot of animal species males tend to be more showy, having colorful feathers, fins or antlers, etc. which serves to distinguish them from the females and attract them.

In homo sapiens increased androgenic hair in men, and balding serves an identical function. It signals fitness, high testosterone levels and masculinity to women. Therefore it isn't an unattractive characteristic.

Morons.

>balding isn't unattractive to women
sorry bro, not true

also pitching in my experience:
minoxodil 5% and micro-needling at least 1.5mm deep once a week (I do it by hand, maybe couple hundred pokes with 12 needle bayonet, no minox that night and morning) seems to have stopped a thinning out hairline. I also take a pumpkin seed oil pill and a prostate mutli-herb pill after dinner and zinc every so often. I rarely get that burny itchy sensation but who knows how long it'll keep up

Cope, baldy. Baldness is strongly correlated with shortness. These bald people you claim who are masculine and attractive mates are manlets who become incels.

Men mainly begin balding in their 20s. Facial hair however can occur as early as 13 and men due to thicker skin can retain more of a youthful look till their 40s so I believe balding is an indicator for maturity. A mature male is likely to be more well established and have more resources than a young male so therefore is better suitable candidate for women raise children with.

But humans have incredibly distinct faces and are highly adept at distinguishing other's faces. Baldness is not necessary to determine if a man is "mature" as that information is clearly etched on his face

You're right it is an indicator of a mature males, its to indicate to other men that the bald man has already procreated and while still physically able, is not a threat to other males in vying for a mate.
