Men suffering from male pattern baldness easily give up on regenerating their hair mainly due to the long time taken to stop their hair from thinning.

Fortunately for us, balding is a condition that can be treated in most cases, but unfortunately, the sheer amount of techniques developed for this purpose can be confusing at best. Obviously, treatment will also depend on what exactly causes the hair growth problems: for example, if one is suffering from some form of cancer and undergoes chemotherapy, he won't be able to fight the hair growth problems with regular treatment methods. Let's take a look at 5 of the most po... more...

There is no general answer to that specific question, but there is an answer to the question, "what is the best hair loss product for me?"

I was having lunch with my Dad one afternoon when he mentioned a product he was using had stopped his hair loss. A few weeks earlier, he was having a little problem with dandruff and decided to see a dermatologist about it. This doctor recommended an over the counter product called "Scalpicin" to help control his flaking. After a few weeks of usage my Dad could find little to no hairs in the brush he regularly used. He knew this would be of interest to me since I was having my own strugg... more...

Many theories suggest that male pattern baldness results from sexual selection. Many suggest that bald men are more virile or sexually active than men with full heads of hair. Although there is yet to be comprehensive evidence either way scientists have agreed that the levels of testosterone and DHT have a significant influence in hair loss. Many primate species also experience baldness after puberty. In some species the male will encourage frontal hair loss and it appears that frontal b... more...

It is a little known fact that every single one of use loses around 100 strands of hair per day. Hearing this may sound alarming but do not despair - it is perfectly normal! A normal head of hair contains around 100,000 follicles each of which can grow around 20 individual hairs in a lifetime. The lost strands of hair are therefore replaced naturally by hairs that grow out of the follicles. Permanent hair loss occurs when the follicle is damaged or lost. Baldness occurs when the follicles die an... more...

Hair loss in the animal kingdom can be considered a point of pride. In some primate groups hair loss signifies status and maturity to the group. Female Gorillas have been seen to favour the member of the social group that has the largest forehead as a result of hair loss and as a result many male gorillas have been seen to encourage hair loss by rubbing their foreheads against abrasive surfaces. This trend seems to correlate with responses to baldness from humans. One study that was cond... more...

Hair loss can be a huge blow, and causes many people to turn to hair loss products in a desperate attempt to grow their hair back.

One recent study in Australia reported that hair loss participants were deficient in iron. Their recommendations are to ask your doctor to order an iron test for you to determine if you are low in iron. Foods that contain iron include spinach and grains. This would be well worth a visit to your doctor if the ultimate outcome is hair regrowth, curing your hair loss and some other health problems you might have because of an iron deficiency. This would be an easy hair loss solution. Hair loss p... more...
