TREAT HAIR LOSS THE NATURAL WAY TO STOP ANY SIDE EFFECTS

Hair loss is an issue for both men and women, although men are far more affected by this condition. By the age of Thirty years old, men begin to experience gradual hair thinning and increased hair fall. Generally, hair loss starts with a receding hair line or a slowly expandingbald spot on the top of the head or both. As men age, what is left is just a rim of hair across the sides and back or in worst cases, total baldness.

Luckily for women, they hardly ever experience total baldness. Only generalized hair thinningoccurs.

Why do we experience hair loss? Our hormones and dihydrotestosterone or DHT is to blame specifically. Dihydrotestosterone is a potent hormone that comes from testosterone. The moment testosterone is acted upon by the enzyme 5 alpha reductase, DHT is formed. This is an important hormone and it is crucial in a lot of bodily processesespecially in men.

Unfortunately, DHT affects the hair follicles on the scalp and causes hair follicle miniaturization. This means the follicles gradually produce thinner hair until only fuzz hair is left. Peach hair or fuzz hairs are very thin, fine and transparent hair. We always think that being bald means there are no more hairs present on the scalp, well in fact, hair follicles are still present. They never really disappeared hey just no longer produce thick healthy hair like they used to.

To stimulate those weak hair follicles and re-grow healthy hair, DHT needs to stopped or inhibited. This is the reason why a lot of hair loss treatments are focused of inhibiting DHT. The number one selling hair loss treatment today is a DHT inhibitor and it really is effective in stimulating hair growth. The problem with this popular product is that it inhibits DHT from inside our bodies, depleting DHT internally. This isn’t good especially for men. The side effects are overwhelming, from lack of libido to erectile dysfunctions.

The safest way to stop DHT is to inhibit this hormone directly on the scalp. DHT is not really a bad hormone; our body won’t produce it otherwise, so why stop it? Inhibit it only where it’s needed and that’s on the scalp with the use of natural herbal topical hair loss treatments, not chemical based to avoid side effects. Always invest on natural treatments because they are safe even after years of use.
