Male Pattern Baldness – You Are Not Alone!

Posted By: Healthy Life on November 30, 2008 in Hair Loss Treatments - Comments: No Comments »

Since hair loss can be a life changing event both emotionally and physically we tend to take it personally. I know I did? But one day I started to look around and noticed that almost every man over the age of 40 had some hair loss. In most cases it was either a receding hair line or thinning on the crown of the head. The most amazing part was most of these men had lost little if any hair on the sides. In male slang they were headed straight for the dreaded horse shoe. The horse shoe, that not so serious condition that most women hate and most men are headed for. Your inspirational thought of the day!

Upon researching this phenomenon I was able to determine that this type of hair loss was known as male pattern baldness or MPB. It medical name is androgenetic alopecia, and conservative estimates have it effecting somewhere between 50 and 75 percent of all men. For those of you that are paralyzed by hair loss trauma, that would be 3 out of every 4.

The primary cause of male pattern baldness is a destructive testosterone hormone abbreviated as DHT. This explains why women are less likely to experience this condition; they simply have less testosterone flowing through their veins.

The normal healthy head of hair loses somewhere around 125 hairs a day, hair loss only occurs when you lose more hair or fail to replace the lost follicles. There are many reasons why hair loss can accelerate but in the case of male pattern baldness, DHT accelerates the number of follicles lost daily while reducing the hairs ability to grow back. The good news here is if you aren’t too far gone (lost too much hair) there are a number of natural products that just might be able to slow or even reverse you hair loss.

What Next? Start to gather information about natural hair loss remedies that contain ingredients that have been shown to reduce male pattern baldness while nourishing your hair and scalp. The most effective of these products contain Saw palmetto for blocking DHT and vitamin B6, biotin, zinc, and magnesium to provide your scalp with the vital nutrients needed to produce healthy hair.

Other ingredients worth noting, that some in the alternative health community believe to be helpful in stimulating hair growth are Gota Kola, Eleuthro, Uva-Ursi, and pumpkin oil.
