Male hair loss is often thought to be caused by wearing a hat too much or stress. Of course there is the old wives tale that says if your mothers father went bald watch out you will too. I don’t want to dispel all of those myths since I’m not an expert, how ever the one proven cause behind male hair loss is a substance that occurs in our bodies naturally.

DHT is a naturally occuring substance that men make naturally. It is created from the male hormone testosterone. Our bodies synthesize DHT form testosterone on a regular basis, the catch is some of us make a little too much.

DHT the Cause of Hair Loss

What happens is DHT finds it’s way to your scalp and latches itself onto your hair follicles. Not every follicle is affected at once, so it’s possible to reverse these effects if you catch it early enough.DHT slowly reduces the size of the hair follicles it’s attached to, this reduces the thickness of the hairs that can grow from that follicle. The extreme here is that these hair follicles go dormant and can no longer grow any hair at all.

Blocking DHT

There is good news, DHT isn’t a death sentence for your hair. There are several hair loss supplements  topical treatments designed to reduce the amount of DHT that is produced, or block it from attaching to the hair follicles. Oral supplements will usually block the amount of DHT produced in your body while shampoos, extracts and other topical creams will reduce it’s effects at the scalp.

In order to maximize the chance of seeing results from any hair loss product you must use it consistently. Men who don’t seem to get results from any hair loss treatment generally do not follow the suggested instructions for the product.

Getting Started

For those of you who might be a little shy about buying a hair loss product there are a lot of products available or order online. In fact the best hair loss shampoo is manufactured by a company called Nisim you can order their product directly and discretely online.

Other manufacturers also sell direct to the consumer and there are also larger skin care and beauty websites such as Sephora and Amazon that also sell hair loss treatments. You must take action. The longer you go without treating hair loss the higher risk you have of not being able to have effective hair regrowth.
