Androgenic alopecia is characterized by progressive loss of hair from the scalp. This research aimed to determine the hair and blood copper levels in men with androgenic alopecia. The research was conducted in the Department of Dermatovenereology of Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital, Makassar and the Center for Health Laboratory, Makassar, using the observational research method. The samples comprised 21 the males with androgenic alopecia and 11 control samples without androgenic alopecia. The hair and blood of the samples were analyzed using the atomic absorption spectrophotometer receipts. The research results indicated resources that the hair copper level in the androgenic alopecia group Showed a difference compared to the hair copper levels in the control group, though the difference was significant (p <0.05). On the other hand, the blood copper levels in androgenic alopecia group had no difference compared to that in the control group. The hair copper levels had no correlation with the blood copper levels. The age had a significant correlation with the androgenic alopecia, in that, the alopecia incidence would increase of as the age increased (p <0.05). However, the levels of both the hair and blood coppers had no correlation with the age. Neither, did the levels of both copper hair and blood have a correlation with the degree of androgenic alopecia (Hamilton grade).
