| What
Causes Male Hair Loss? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Male
hair loss, or Androgenic Alopecia is caused by the effect of the male
hormones or genetically predisposed hair follicles. Or in other words,
the tendency to develop this type of baldness runs in families. Within
these genetically programmed hair follicles, testosterone, the main
male hormone, is converted by an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase into
a much more potent hormone called, dihydrotestosterone (DHT). It is
the effect of this hormone which inhibits the growth of new hair cells,
resulting in a finer hair being produced. The growing phase of the
hair cycle(anagen) will be of a shorter duration than for the unaffected
hairs and may last for a period of only months rather than an average
of 3-4 years. When these hairs fall out they are replaced by finer
hairs with an even shorter growing period. This process can continue
until the hair follicles degenerate and are unable to produce any
further hair. |

| What
Are The First Signs Of Hair Thinning? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Usually
a slight recession of the hair at the front of the scalp along the
hairline is noticed at first. Later, thinning over the crown can develop,
these areas may join up causing the entire front and top
of the scalp to be bald. Most scalps, however, which appear totally
bald actually contain hair follicles which are either still producing
very fine hair, or are capable of producing it. These are fine vellus
hairs, and are no longer clearly visible to the naked eye. So from
a distance, a man may appear bald, but in fact he may still have a
large number of fine hairs growing on the bald area of
his scalp. These hairs however, no longer are cosmetically useful
as they are too fine to add to the persons appearance. |

Can
Anything Be Done To Stop Male Hair Loss and Thinning?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In many cases, male hair loss can be slowed down,
stopped and in some men, reversed to a certain extent.
Many years of research & clinical testing have
shown that certain plant extracts are very effective at reducing
& minimizing hair loss & stimulating new hair growth. These
extracts include hop, clover, rosemary, thyme, and menthol from
peppermint oil. The Bio-Medic
range was developed by a leading UK trichologist with many years
of hair & scalp experience, & include many of these stimulating
plant extracts. The products have a highly stimulating effect on
the hair and scalp, and a reduction in the quantity of hair coming
out should be noticed in the first few weeks followed by an improvement
in the growth of hair.
