Are You Experiencing Hair Loss?

Science has many theories to hair loss, but the following accepted theories are the ones that we hold to be most accurate.

A major cause of hair loss is the mixture of micro-pollutants, hair care product residues, and Sebum clogging your hair follicle entrance. Sebum is an oily substance produced by your skin. Sebum actually plays an important role in the health of your scalp, but overproduction of Sebum caused by stress (this is a major cause of hair loss in women) and a diet high in animal fat creates excess Sebum secretion. When the sebum leaves your underlying scalp layer, it reaches the surface of your scalp, and mixes with the dirt and hair care product residues. Because the sebum is now on your scalp and exposed to air, it hardens (oxidation) and creates a thick, black, tar like substance. This hardened substance is now clogging your hair follicle entrance. The bacteria in this substance damages the follicle and is one of the major causes of hair loss. Hair follicles are the millions of little canals in your scalp in which your hair grows from. After years of this occurring, the tar like material makes its way back down into the follicle and becomes impacted. The result is blockage of nutrient absorption of the follicle, thus impeding hair growth. 

The most damaging process in hair loss occurs next. Your body naturally produces the hormone testosterone. It happens in everyone. But when testosterone mixes with the Sebum/dirt substance that is now impacted in your follicle, it creates a powerful substance called DHT. DHT is the real enemy of hair growth and retention. When formed, DHT causes the follicle to begin shutting down, and basically, the follicle dies a slow death. What makes this worse is that your bodies immune system senses the follicle is dying, and as part of its defense system tries further to shut it down and get rid of it.

Because of Sebum cloggage and the fact that the dying follicle can not provide nutrients, the new hair strand must fight its way through the follicle, causing the hair strand to be thinner and the bulb smaller. This process repeats itself, with the next hair getting thinner and the bulb smaller each time the old one falls out.

This is why most men and women experience thinning hair as they are losing it. The unfortunate ending is a hair follicle so damaged from Sebum, bacteria, and DHT production that the follicle dies. 

The first step to stopping hair loss and growing new hair is a healthy scalp. Everyone wants a full head of hair. The first consideration is deciding between prescription or herbal hair loss treatments.

Before you take prescription medication such as Rogain or Propecia please read the following:

Rogain may irritate the scalp and Propecia may cause sexual side effects including less desire for sex, difficulty in achieving an erection, and a decrease in the amount of semen.
