HAIR LOSS IN YOUR 20S

Baldness runs in your family and maybe you have accepted the fact that one day, you too will experience this. But you always thought that hair loss will only start to hit you when you are older. However, you’re only in your 20s but you are starting to notice that your hair is somewhat thinning. Your initial response would be to deny this, since it is not possible to lose hair this early. However, you can’t hide the fact that you notice more and more hair on your pillow in the morning. And where did all the hair in the shower drain come from? Can you really lose hair this early?

Unfortunately, the answer is yes. Baldness and hair loss can be triggered by a lot of factors. Stress is one of the most common trigger to hair shedding, and what’s worse, seeing that you are beginning to lose hair further increases your stress level. In men, hormones play a major role in hair loss. The primary hormone in males is testosterone, responsible for the masculine traits like sex drive, beard growth, increase in muscle mass, and sperm production.

However, this very same male hormone can also signify the beginning of baldness. The metabolism of androgen gets involved with an enzyme called 5 alpha reductase which when combined with testosterone gives DHT or dihydrotestosterone. DHT is the leading cause of hair loss in men. It is believed to shorten the growth phase of the hair cycle, produce a wax like substance around the roots, cause miniaturisation of the hair follicles, produce progressively finer hairs, and eventually the hair falls off.

Can the effects of DHT be stopped to prevent hair loss? Yes, you can stop DHT before it does more harm to your hair. One of the best known natural DHT blockers is saw palmetto. This is a natural product extracted from the fruit Serenoa repens and it blocks the damaging effects of 5-alpha-reductase and stops the production of DHT.
