Having
experienced male baldness and having been successful at holding it at
bay for an extended period of time now I can sympathize with any man
who is concerned about keeping his remaining hair. At least for me
the onset The
Rebuild Hair Program of male baldness was a shock followed by a
series of unsuccessful attempts to halt its progression. But
ultimately I found the answers I was looking for through a
combination of experimentation and knowledge. In this article titled
"Honest Answers About Male Baldness" we will explore male
baldness and then provide a few solutions that just might prove
helpful in slowing and possibly reversing this common condition.
Chances
are very good that the cause of your male baldness is androgenetic
alopecia or male pattern baldness. Androgenetic alopecia has a very
predictable and distinctive pattern with hair loss beginning at the
forehead or around the temples with balding concentrated on the top
of the head. This condition always includes a receding hair line.
Some men only lose some hair on top with a bald spot becoming
noticeable around the crown. Others, especially men whose male
pattern baldness started early in life and has been allowed to
continue unchecked will lose all the hair on top while retaining hair
on the sides and back of the scalp. The advanced stages form a well
defined M pattern.
The
cause of this type of male baldness is a combination of heredity
(from either side of the family) and the androgen hormone
dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Over time DHT builds up in the follicle
complex causing follicles to shrink. As follicles shrink blood flow
is reduced thus limiting the nutrients available to nourish hair
growth and re-growth. The most disturbing part is that this condition
is progressive and unless action is taken severe hair loss is
inevitable.
To
prevent the male baldness from progressing any further two things
must happen; DHT levels must be reduced and damaged follicles must
reinvigorated. There are currently only two FDA approved
pharmaceutical products

formulated to interrupt the conversion of testosterone to DHT;
minoxidil and finasteride. Minoxidil is available without a
prescription and is considered to pretty much side effect free while
finasteride is available by prescription only and does have a number
of label warnings.
There
are also a couple of herbal options; saw palmetto (FDA approved) and
nettle root. Both herbs work in a similar fashion to that of
finasteride and are considered to be herbal DHT inhibitors. They are
generally considered to be side effects free but do seem to pose a
problem if taken in conjunction with blood thinning medications.
