happen at any time. If this is happening to you, you are not alone.
For many men, losing hair is something will have to be faced as part of
the aging process. If this is happening to you, you are not alone, as a
simple walk down the street will show you. About 25 per cent of men begin
losing hair before they reach 30 and two thirds before the age of 60.
Sometimes men can begin losing hair in their teens and can reach their
early twenties with very little, if any, hair left on the crown of their
head. Usually, however, the hair loss is gradual, developing over a
period of twenty to thirty years.
The most common cause of hair loss in men is genetic:
Androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness) has a characteristic
pattern of hair loss; it begins with a slight recession at the front
hairline and is followed by thinning on the crown of the head. The hair
above the ears and at the nape of the neck is unaffected. This hair loss
results from a complex chemical reaction when the enzyme 5alpha-reductase
converts the testosterone in the system into DHT or dihydrotestosterone.
The hair follicles are genetically predisposed to be oversensitive to the
DHT and become smaller and smaller with time, leading to the eventual
hair loss.
If you are suffering from patchy hair loss you may be suffering from
another form of alopecia:
Alopecia areata is an extremely common condition and will affect 1% to 2%
of the population at some point in their lives. Most sufferers are
children and young adults (below 40 years old), though it can affect
people
of all ages. The hair loss is sudden and manifests itself in small,
smooth-skinned patches that are likely to gradually widen with time. It
can also affect the sufferer’s nails, giving them a pitted, ridged or
brittle appearance. The exact cause is still unknown, although current
theories include an auto-immune disease, stress or suggest a genetic
basis. If the hair loss progresses until all the scalp hair is lost this
is known as alopecia totalis or alopecia universalis if all the body hair
is lost as well. Head skin treatments is thing are usually recommended,
to decrease of hair loss.
Hair loss can also result from a scalp problem. Inflammation of the scalp
leads to production of superoxide, which causes hair shedding and will
lead to diffuse hair loss.
These are just a few of the reasons for hair loss. It order to treat hair
loss effectively we would recommend that you have a diagnosis made as
soon as possible by one of our experienced trichologists. Stress can be
an aggravator in almost all cases of hair loss and an accurate diagnosis
will always, at the very least, take some of the stress away from you.
Regular exercise , healthy life style that include an healthy diets very help to
overcome of hair loss.
