Male Hair Loss by Jen Carter

Hair loss is more common among men than it is women. Studies show that most male baldness occurs by an increased sensitivity to androgens (male sex hormones). As a result of this sensitivity, hair loss occurs. This can be passed down through genetics.

Don't get depressed! Nowadays bald men are very fashionable. Clean-shaven heads fill billboards, magazine advertisements, and commercial air-time. Women are attracted to smooth men. Baldness, which was once frowned upon and thought to be undesirable, is now very stylish!

Nevertheless, men who are experiencing baldness might find themselves asking "What is the cause of my hair loss?" Well, your androgens (which circulate in your blood) cause your hair follicles to shrink. Eventually, these follicles become so small that hair can not grow through them. Although the hair follicles are still alive, they can not perform their function. Hence, hair growth stops.

Young men in their twenties and thirties can become devastated at the first signs of male hair loss. Generally there's a typical pattern that occurs gradually. First, the hair line recedes, secondly the hair on the top of the crown begins to gradually thin. Eventually these 'thinning' areas will become bald. Finally, the bald areas will meet and form a U-shape on the crown. The hair that remains will be found on the sides of the head and it is often finer than it used to be.

The question arises, can hair-loss be prevented? Unfortunately for men, hair loss is genetically pre-determined. Baldness can be passed on from your parents and/or grandparents. Although a physician may be able to provide different medical treatments, you must be careful of the side effects. Side effects differ for each person. While some men may experience little to no side effects, others may experience a drastic change in their appearance and sexual drive.

Remember, baldness is a natural act. It is not a disease or disorder. You must realize that the re-growth of lost hair is very unnatural and can end up being very costly. You may or may not be happy with the final results.

A Quick Note From The Publisher... If you like the article above, you may be interested in the following article which is also related to Hair Loss... Hair Loss Facts It seems almost surreal that over to 80 million American men and women are affected by hair loss. Hair loss is not only genetic; it can also be brought on by a number of factors of our own doing. Doctors specializing in hair loss will often ask the following questions of their patients: What’s a typical day in your diet? Are you taking any medications (including vitamins)? What’s your family history of hair loss? Have you been afflicted with a recent illness? What are your daily hair care habits? For both men and women hair is simply our crowning glory. Society (the world over) places a huge deal of social and cultural importance on hair (length, health and thickness) and hairstyles. Most of us never miss our hair, until we start loosing it. That’s usually when we enter a mad race to find solutions and remedies to regain our crowning glory. Sadly, many conditions such as diseases, heavy amounts of stress, hormonal imbalance and improper hair care result in excessive hair loss. A healthy scalp will produce about one-half inch of hair grows per month (some lucky individuals can see up to one inch of hair growth per month). Normal hair shedding should not be of concern or alarm, as we typically loose 50 to 100 hairs per day. However, if you notice heavier hair loss or worst if you notice bald spots, it’s best to consult your dermatologist.
