  Hair Loss
 


What causes balding and how can I prevent it or correct it? Too often, we find ourselves asking these questions. Hair loss in both men and women has the potential to great social insecurity. The following three factors contribute to the loss of hair:

  • Advancing age
  • An inherited tendency to bald easily
  • An over-abundance of the male hormone DHT

DHT is a highly active form of testosterone. This form of testosterone influences many aspects of manly behavior. Two of the behaviors that are affected by DHT are sex drive and aggression.

Hair loss is treatable, and some of the non-surgical treatments for hair loss are as follows:

  • Antiandrogen Therapy
  • Finasteride
  • Rogaine

Other hair loss solutions include the following:

  • Hair transplant surgeries
  • Hairpieces
  • Hair loss concealers such as short haircuts and camouflage techniques
