Genetic hair loss in men is the number one cause of male pattern baldness. This type of baldness can affect men as young as eighteen or twenty years of age and will continue until the age of forty-five. In this time, you may experience bald patches, crown baldness, or overall baldness.
With so many baldness products on the market today, it’s hard to choose one that will really be effective in regrowing your hair. Some claim to contain all of the natural herbs and minerals for healthy hair growth, yet these claims aren’t always truthful.
Hair is constantly growing, falling out and then growing in again. A hair growth cycle usually lasts anywhere from a couple of years up to about six years. At the end of this cycle, the dead hair falls out, to make way for new hair growth.
Male pattern baldness affects 60% of all men by age 35. What seems to start out as simple thinning of the hair if left untreated will grow to full blown baldness. Hair loss treatments seem to abound everywhere from television to your local grocery store and pharmacies. All seem to promise hair growth but fail to deliver any noticeable results.
Male baldness treatments seem to be everywhere now. You look on television and boom there’s a new way to regrow hair within 2 to 6 months and there are real live people to back it up. Only problem is it costs $150.00 for a 2-month supply. What can you do to treat your hair loss without paying so much money?
There are a number of drugs available to treat baldness, but it must be noted that none of them are guaranteed to be 100% effective, if at all. Rogaine (Minoxidil) can be applied directly to the scalp to stop the shrinking of hair follicles and can even promote the re-growth of hair in follicles long since dormant.
Regaine contains an active ingredient called Minoxidil. The original use of Minoxidil was as a treatment for blood pressure. Its use as a treatment for male pattern baldness was an accident. It was noted that when applied to the skin, it can promote hair growth.
In spite of their promising advertisements, the medicines hardly work and have strong side effects. So it’s high time, you should believe in natural and herbal products. To start with Saw Palmetto is one of the useful herbal products that you can easily find in any nutritional centre.
Male pattern baldness is diagnosed by a visual examination of the pattern of hair loss. When the hair loss is erratic and not following a pattern, it is usually caused by some other factor. It is important to not assume that hair loss is normal or genetic.
Just think how you would eat properly without broken or lost teeth. However, you can still do all your work without hair, as its absence is not going to hinder any of your work. If you know how to handle it properly, you would not feel depressed or low. You would increase the effects of baldness by pondering on it.
The trick is to block DHT from ever reaching your roots and then you will have the advantage over baldness. So one of the best ways to go about doing this without sacrificing a lot of money or time is to take 1,500 mg of saw palmetto extract daily.
Most of the men are victims of hair loss. Gradually this hair also loss leads to baldness. This is an unfortunate and undesirable happening to such men. There are many reasons for the man hair loss which are due to mental tension, heredity or due to certain type of chronic diseases.
Pattern Baldness is by far the most likely cause of hair loss, but there are a number of other known causes. The other causes of hair loss are accountable for such small percentages of cases, and in many cases are the easiest to prevent, detect or even reverse.
Men and women suffer from Pattern baldness in very different ways. Men tend to experience thinning hair in certain sections or patches of the scalp and that’s why many instances in men result in the ‘monk’ effect, i.e. balding on top, with hair still growing at the sides and back.
Men and women both experience pattern baldness. In women however, it is most often serious thinning of the hair versus complete hair loss like in men. If this is happening to you, you do have some options. You can choose a hair piece or extensions where natural or synthetic hair is woven in with your own to create a full looking head of hair.
