Noah: I used to worry
about losing my hair one day.
But I've heard most women find
baldness on a man sexy.
Leah: Oh, yeah, baldness is way
sexy.
And size doesn't matter.
And a huge beer belly is really
attractive.
Noah: Mm-hm.
Now let's find out why some men
lose their hair and become even
more sexy.
Leah: I was being sarcastic.
Noah: Oh.
Leah: The most common kind
of baldness is male pattern
baldness.
It's mainly caused by hormones
that regulate hair growth.
Noah: Every hair on your head
has its own growth cycle, which
can last up to six years,
giving your hair plenty of time
to grow thick and healthy.
However, if your hormone level
increases that cycle, the time
your hair has to grow decreases.
producing shorter, thinner hair.
Leah: And eventually it stops
producing hair altogether.
Noah: But the result is one sexy
bald man.
Leah: Sure it is.
Noah: People also think baldness
is inherited from their mother's
side of the family.
That's a big factor,
but if your dad's bald,
you're twice as likely to be
bald, too.
Leah: So you can blame both
your parents.
Noah: I think you mean thank
your parents for turning you
into one big sexy beast.
Leah: I'm not saying there
aren't bald men who are sexy.
I'm saying being bald doesn't
make you sexy.
Noah: OK, I'm confused.
In any of what you just said,
did you call me, or future bald
me, sexy?
Leah: Mm, no.
I did not.
Noah: Oh.
I was just checking.
