About Hair Treatment
Recent surveys have shown that over 85 million men and women
suffer from progressive hair loss, which in time results in
baldness. Androgenic (sometimes androgenetic) alopecia, is
the most common form of baldness. This article will focus
predominantly on male patterned baldness.Tho it should be
noted that the causes of baldness in men and women is
slightly different.
When male-pattern baldness begins, the hair becomes
increasingly thinner and thinner until it is eventually
altogether gone. The root cause of this is the human hormone
known as dihydrotesttosterone otherwise called (DHT). When
there is an over abundance of DHT in the scalp, it attaches
itself to the hair follicles thus blocking the blood supply
and interupting their growth. As time continues, the
follicles, deprived of the necessary nutrients, shrink and
the hair shaft width is decreased. The hair gets thinner as
a result of this. When a hair shaft has become to small then
no new hair may continue to grow from the follicle.
All tho there are many proposed solutions for the problem of
baldness, such as a prescription drug you may have heard of
called Finasteride (marketed as Propecia) which claims to
scale back the level of DHT, they are not the best solutions
to the problem of baldness. The prescription drugs often
have serious side effects, being that they are synthetic
chemicals. There are documented cases of gynecomastia as
well as erectile dysfunction among users of Finasteride.
However, there are natural supplements at hand, which can
fortunately block DHT just as effectively or even more so
than prescription drugs. Among these natural ingredients are
Saw Palmetto (an effective herbal DHT blocker), extract of
pumpkin seeds and zinc (which prevents conversion of
testosterone into DHT thus reducing the overall DHT
concentration.) An efficient and good herbal hair loss
remedy must also include nutrients to generate rapid
regrowth of hair follicles damaged by DHT.
