Don’t Worry. If You’re A Man Hair Loss Is Not Inevitable.

I'm extremely happy to bring the good news if you're a man. Hair loss can now be treated. Over the last few years science has clearly established the mechanism of male pattern baldness and has developed some excellent male hair loss treatments which are approved by the FDA. But remember, if you're a man, hair loss can be treated but you can't grow hair on a bald head. You need to act fast.

I'm sure you've heard of male pattern baldness. For men in the range of 20 to 45 years, 95 percent of thinning hair problems are caused by male pattern baldness. This is known technically as androgenic alopecia and is an inherited condition. In other words you inherit genes that cause male pattern baldness from those in your family who came before you.

Although from long time it has been known that male pattern baldness was genetic the actual mechanism which created their hair loss was not understood at all. Once this mechanism was fully understood it was possible to develop an excellent male hair loss treatment.

The mechanism behind male hair loss which is now understood is this. Those who are genetically predisposed have the male hormone testosterone converted in their bodies into a 2nd hormone called Dihydrotestosterone, or DHT, by enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. It is the DHT that causes the hair loss.

The DHT sticks to the base of hair follicles and, in effect, strangles the hair follicles by limiting the ability of the follicles to take up essential hair nutrients. Because the hair follicles cannot take up sufficient nutrients they thinning and die and there is insufficient reproduction of the hair follicles to replace the dead hair.

Every person loses hair every day. On average person loses around 10,000 hairs each day but these are normally replaced. For those affected by DHT around the hair follicles, more hair will fall out and less will grow. The result is a slow thinning of their hair and an eventual bald spot.

Once science understood this mechanism it was possible to develop a successful and effective treatment. There is an FDA approved treatment that goes by the name of minoxidil. Minoxidil is available under various product names but not all these work as effectively.

As mentioned the supply of nutrients to their hair follicle is critical to the health of the hair. Minoxidil increases the blood supply to the hair follicles so allowing them to take up more nutrients, but if there are insufficient hair nutrients available optimum hair health then their hair will still not become as healthy and grow as well as if there was sufficient nutrients available.

The best hair loss treatment operates by increasinmg the ability of the hair to uptake nutrients by means of the use of minoxidil and at the same time providing the entire range of essential hair nutrients by means of oral supplements. This is a two-pronged approach and is far more effective than the use of minoxidil on its own.

If you're a man hair loss can be treated but baldness cannot be reversed. Modern hair loss treatments do work but you need to act fast before it's too late.

Visit my website to find which hair loss treatment uses minoxidil combined with optimum hair nutrition to work more successfully than others.
