Hair Loss
We naturally lose 50 to 100 hairs everyday. New strands should replace them. When the hair is not replaced, thinning, and eventually balding, results. The most common type of hair loss is male pattern baldness. It is thought that the follicles are programmed to stop hair production when there are high levels of male hormones.

Specifically, it is the hormone dehydrotestosterone (DHT) that can shut the hair follicles off. This is a highly active from of testosterone that some men make more of than others. In other cases, some men have more receptor sites for this hormone on their scalp, which increases the absorption of this hormone by the cells, and thus hair loss as well. The herb saw palmetto has been proven to slow the conversion of regular testosterone into DHT. While not a miracle, clinical evidence shows that this herb has made a difference for some. Dehydrotestosterone has also been linked to the development of unhealthy prostate cells.

Women can experience a similar type of hair loss due to hormone changes (i.e.: postpartum and at menopause) but it is usually not as extensive.

There are many factors, other than hormones, that contribute to hair loss. They include heredity, aging, poor circulation, acute illness, malnutrition, radiation exposure, skin disease, high fever, iron deficiency, diabetes, hypothyroidism, stress, fungal infection and chemical hair dyes.

Conventional treatment of hair loss has become mainstream thanks to commercial and shopping network advertisements. Rogaine is a topical solution used for male pattern baldness. It can cause heart changes when used for extended periods of time and the quality of hair it produces is poor. Finasteride is used for hair loss in young men but was originally designed for prostate issues. It does grow hair but results last only as long as the medication is taken. Topical cortisone or special scalp radiation therapy is also used in some cases of hair loss.
