Beating Hair Loss! What Causes Hair Loss and How You Can Beat It Today!
Tuesday, November 3, 2009 by Guest Author
For most people, the real cause of hairloss is still an unknown!
Well with so many hair regrowth treatments available today, it can be quite confusing deciding on which one to use, and which ones to trust.
And finding the ones that are compatible for you can be twice as hard as finding the hair regrowth treatments that actually work.
What everyone should realize first, is that before jumping on to the next new treatment available that promises permanent hair regrowth, trying to understand what kind of results are achievable with the different treatments is essential. This can be very easy if you first understand what actually causes hairloss.
What actually causes hair to fall out in the first place?
All the treatments available today, even the ones that don’t work, promote hair regrowth. But for hair loss victims, this is only one side to the problem, and if left untreated, does not allow for permanent regrowth.
All hair regrowth treatments fall short with this one small problem:
They don’t actually repair what the initial cause of hairloss is in the first place.
The most common cause of hairloss in both men and women is DHT, which often displays the ‘general pattern baldness.’
What on earth is DHT?
DHT is a byproduct of testosterone produced by the body. It is normal and is required in our childhood for various growth factors in our body. But as we get older, it is found to be more of a burden as it actually kills off healthy hair follicles, which in-turn, causes hair loss.
Athletes and Bodybuilders who decide to use performance enhancing drugs such as testosterone, often complain of excessive hair loss. This happens as the elevated levels of testosterone cause more damage to the follicles as more DHT is available in the body.
So what does this mean for you?
Luckily for many people, there is now a natural hair regrowth and prevention treatment available for sufferers of hairloss, which stops production of DHT and aids regrowth of hair.
