Balding Solution for Men and Women
Androgenetic alopecia ( male and female pattern
balding ) is by far the most common cause of hair
loss amongst men and a serious problem for many
women. There are three important components which
are responsible for both female and male balding:1.
A genetic predisposition for balding to occur.2.
Excessive presence of male hormones.3. Aging -
enough time for the first two factors to occur.Both
men and women produce male hormones that have
a useful role to play in both sexes; but the fact
that androgens occur in much higher concentrations
in men explains why male pattern baldness is more
common than the female balding.DHT the root cause
of hair lossIt is metabolism of male hormones
(androgen/testosterone) which is main cause of
hair loss and male and female pattern balding
both in men and women.
The metabolism of androgen involves an enzyme
called 5 alpha reductase which combines with the
hormone (testosterone) and converts it to DHT
(Dihydro-testosterone). DHT is a natural metabolite
of our body.The cause of male and female pattern
balding Some individuals, both men and women,
are genetically pre-disposed to produce more DHT
than the normal individuals. It is this accumulation
of DHT and its effect on the cells inside the
hair follicle and root which is one of the primary
causes of male and female pattern balding.
When DHT gets into the hair follicle and root,
especially a region called the dermal papilla,
it changes the cell' activity and prevents necessary
proteins, vitamins and minerals from providing
nourishment needed to sustain life in the hairs
of those follicles. Consequently, hair follicles
are reproduced at a much slower rate. This shortens
their growing stage (anagen phase) and or lengthens
their resting stage (telogen phase) of the follicle.
DHT also causes hair follicle to shrink and get
progressively smaller and finer. This process
is known as miniaturization and causes the hair
to ultimately fall. DHT induced androgenetic aloepcia
is responsible for 95% of all hair loss.Blocking
the synthesis of DHT at the molecular level forms
the basis for the treatment of MPHL (male pattern
hair loss) and FPHL (female pattern hair loss).
There are many natural DHT blockers and a number
of drugs which are used for medical hair restoration.
