Male Baldness Info

The hair line started receding I guess, since I was 22 1/2, the testosterone might be kicking in on the scalp. But the right side was experiencing more rapid loss than the left. The left it was almost nil, just very little recession and thinning. This led me to believe that may be it was not the baldness hormones and something else. What else could be the causes.
–I shower with shampoo on my hair everyday.
–Workload increased which was the cause of increase in a lot of all nighters, stress, regularly eating out ( a lot of chicken, sour cream, cheese and stuff like that) and also…
–increased masturbation ( I heard this speeds up baldness)
Could one or more of these be the cause of my hair loss? or is it just the baldness gene? My father is bald. Any suggestions on what I can do?

My boy friend is only 21yrs old and is getting bald at a very early age….His balding type is male pattern baldness…..He feels shy to speak out 2 me abput his problem……I feel he has tried all possible ways,is there anything u could suggest to arrest his hair fall and generate hair growth in a NATURAL WAY……And that would the best favour i could do for him.
