July 11, 2009
The problems of thinning hair and baldness are the enemies of every man. The problem becomes more severe if such a condition occurs with young generation.
There is an extreme loss of confidence in the condition of baldness. Complete baldness is a problem that happens mostly in case of men. Women seldom suffer from this condition of complete baldness. Let us here have a discussion on facts about baldness. Learning about them would definitely help an individual to avoid the situation of baldness.
The characteristics of a man are highly defined by the hormone androgen. Baldness occurs when the hair follicles are exposed to androgen. In this case, the process of baldness starts. There is receding hair line in the first instance, which is then proceeded towards the process of baldness at the crown, and then towards the vertex. In many cases, the process of hair loss ends here. However, in some cases, there may be a result of complete baldness. DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is the major factor that may be contributing to hair loss.
In women, it is the hormone estrogen that has an impact on the hair. However, due to the low level of this hormone in the women’s body, the problem of complete baldness may not be faced by them. In such a case, the women face hair thinning due to DHT.
As a person starts experiencing the problem of hair shedding, it is very important to consider some facts. Some people may be suffering from stress; some may have faced any kind of traumatic incident; some may be using excessive chemicals on the hair; some may have delivered a baby; and some may be in the phase of menopause.
These problems are very common and an individual would come out of the problem of hair loss, after the phases are over. However, if none of these is the reason for hair loss, then there is no doubt that the hair loss may be occurring due to DHT.
Thus, one must take proper care of the hair, along with taking proper diet, to combat the problem of hair loss or baldness to some extent. Baldness can be prevented if one takes care of the hair in proper manner and seeks for natural remedies to solve the problem.
