Losing your hair is not the worst thing that can happen, but that doesn’t make it an easy experience for anybody to go through. Take comfort in the fact that there are some very effective measures we can take to treat hair loss in women and in men.
Dihydrotestosterone, more commonly known by its acronym DHT, is the usually the cause of hair loss. DHT is the result of a naturally occurring hormonal imbalance in men and women. Once DHT is present in the body it works its way up to the scalp. After it reaches the scalp, it causes the hair follicles to begin to get smaller and make hair growth more difficult – eventually squeezing out the ability of hair to grow. There are beginning to be many products available at local retailers that can aid in the reduction of DHT which will help slow its effects and sometimes reverse them.
Can the products help? Most of the time, they have been shown to be extremely helpful! They work to correct the imbalance that causes DHT to form, and as a direct result will help to reduce, and sometimes eliminate, the effects.
DHT can be fought with by choosing one of a myriad of different types of products. There are prescriptions, shampoos, and over-the-counter products available. There are even all-natural herbal products that have been proven to be just as effective as any of the other products on the market!
Of course, you should seek the advice of your doctor. If you have any unresolved medical issues that are currently being treated, or even unknown, then they could very well be the cause of your hair loss. It is best to get those issues treated and resolved before you begin using a DHT blocker. It could be the case that any issues you are experiencing or medications you are taking could cause your hair to thin. Finish those treatments first.
By understanding what causes hair loss (that includes any underlying medical issues), you can many times defeat it. Hair loss can be slowed, stopped, and even reversed if the proper care is administered. Make sure to watch your diet as well. Proper nutrition is important for healthy hair growth.
