Hair Loss Getting to the Root of the Problem

November 3, 2008 · Posted in Hair Loss 

It’s fair to say when you started losing your hair you asked “why me”. Maybe after seeing your dad and older brother join the hair less community you figured it was only a matter of time. You begin to shed more than your dog. How do you handle it?

You can never really prepare for ituntil now.

Today the market is flooded with products that promise to regrow hair. But the truth of the matter is they don’t all work. Hair loss products such as shampoos cleanse away the sebum produced by the sebaceous glands. The sebum builds up on the scalp and hardens, clogging the hair follicles there by inhibiting growth. That’s all well and good but it doesn’t get to the root of the problem. The hair stops growing because the hair follicle is undernourished, not dirty. We all know the main culprit is DHT. That doesn’t stand for disastrous hair thinning. It’s Dihydrotestosterone., which basically interrupts the normal functioning of healthy hair growth.

Products such as Rogaine, Procerin and Avacor have shown results with individuals whose hair is still in a growth phase or what’s clinically referred as the anagen stage. The telogen stage is the resting or dormant phase. It’s the one where you start losing your hair. The longer you’re in this stage the lower the chances of getting your hair to grow back.

Most hair growth treatments will state that best results come from the beginning stage of hair loss. So if you’re at the horseshoe stage your odds are slim that the product will work.

There is one product that works even if you’ve been balding for over 20 years. It’s called RK19
