Some people view thinning hair as just part of the aging
process and go on about their life without a care. Then
suddenly, it dawns on them that they are developing a
seriously bad hair day. They look in the mirror and see
their youthful look quickly fading. By this time they
usually decide they want all their hair back. What they
don't know is, during those 10 to 15 years of losing hair,
some follicles have gone dormant and some have completely
died. The hair follicles that have completely died can't
be restored with the hair loss products available today.
This is why I strongly promote hair loss awareness. Do
something about your hair loss while it counts the most.
Launch a hair restoration campaign during the early stages
of hair loss and you can keep most of your hair for life.
Often people lose time believing their thinning hair is
being caused by stress or worse they have the attitude that
it is going to happen anyway so what the heck. Hair loss
due to stress happens only if you have undergone extreme
physical or mental torture for extended periods. Most
people do not fall into this category. Male or female
pattern baldness is not caused by a lack of circulation or
nutrients to the follicle, whether it is by hats, ponytails
or other exterior factors. You may lose hair temporarily
due to these influences but they are not a long term factor.
To be more technical, what is actually taking place is
this: In your body, testosterone is converted to DHT by the
enzyme 5a-reductase. Your hair follicles that support hair
have little receptors on them. These receptors really like
DHT and androgens (Testosterone, Dihydrotestosterone) and
so these receptors collect this stuff, especially the DHT.
After the DHT and Androgens bind to the receptors, the DHT
goes into the cell and interacts with the nucleus of the
cell. Once the DHT is inside the cell it actually alters
the production of the protein by the DNA in the nucleus of
the cell. This alteration of the production of protein by
the DNA of the cell causes the production of hair to cease.
Over abundance of this activity directly affects the
growth regulating that goes on in the follicle leading to
slower and less healthy growth each time the hair re-grows,
rests, and re-grows again until the hair eventually stops
growing completely.
What you actually inherit from your family tree is
receptors that have an affinity for DHT. The more affinity
for this stuff the more hair you will lose. Welcome to the
hard cold facts of male pattern baldness. However, when
DHT is suppressed by a quality hair loss product, hair
follicles continue to thrive.
In addition to a quality hair loss product there are some
things you can do to help optimize the stimulative effects
of the product.
1. Try to focus on healthy food choices. Go with lean
protein and soy products as well as beans, whole grains,
fresh fruits and vegetables that can improve the overall
health of the scalp and hair.
2. Take very good care of your scalp. A damaged scalp
reduces hair growth. Over time styling products and excess
sebum buildup and can have a negative effect on the hair
follicles. For someone affected by male pattern baldness
the primary function of a shampoo should be to gently
cleanse your scalp while removing sebum and DHT from the
scalp. There are shampoos on the market today that are
specifically designed to do this. It is important to remove
this buildup for the health of your hair follicles and so
your topical hair growth stimulants can travel deep into
the scalp where they become most effective. These
specially designed shampoos contain essential bioactive
nutrients that nourish, moisturize and improve the hair and
scalp condition, creating a healthy environment for hair
growth and restoration.
Why not make a difference while you can have the greatest
impact on thinning hair. Start treating hair loss with the
first signs of thinning hair.
