There are very many reasons that lead to the loss of hair in the head. In men it may be natural, that is he inherits the trend from the father or it’s in the family. There is other reasons to which include; getting the deficiency from chemical treatments, hairstyling accident or the radiation therapy. However in women it’s a little bit complicated for it can only be for two main reasons, the aging factor and or the hormonal imbalance. In men it can happen as early as at the age of 18 years.

This as stated is because the follicles need free flowing blood so as to grow inside the pores. When this supply is not adequate or the DHT blocks the pores then there is the hindrance in the growth of the follicles. When this happens the hair will wither away to allow for the fresh one to grow, but then the fresh one will not have all the nutrients hence it will be very thin and unhealthy. The loss always starts from the front of the scalp going backwards, but it will soon be to the sides. There are various hair loss treatment ways. One of the many ways is through surgery. Here the hair is transferred from one part of the scalp to the other.

Here surgeons remove ‘plugs’ from one point that is still growing and takes them to the parts that are experiencing the loss. This continues while at the same time the balding continues. Different reactions and results have come from different patients as regards the surgery. The second solution is the FDA – accepted hair loss avoidance chemical known as Propecia. Its main job is the prevention of the making of the DHT. About half of the people treated using this method saw their hair re – grow while the rest saw a stop being put to the loss of their hair.

Then there is the copper peptide. They have always been known to increase the follicle size by building back the blood supply which was initially inhabited by the DHT. It also acts as an anti-inflammatory for the scalp hence further inhabiting the DHT. Then there is the monoxidil, which is also a FDA – accepted hair loss stopping chemical. It is sold to the people bearing the name Rogaine. Its main work is to slow down the balding process. It is always applied in the scalp and should not be washed for about four hours. It should be used continually for when one stops then the balding resumes.
