Very often, it is assumed that men do not have any such problems that women are highly concerned of, especially, regarding fashion and beauty. Skin-care, hair-care, manicure, pedicure, dieting and figure consciousness are some of the subjects which are generally regarded as ladies’ own. But this is a fact that more than 55% men in the whole world are highly concerned about the loss of hair and out of those 55%, more than 80% are trying different types of treatment to resolve this problem. Again, out of those 80%, more than 65% are facing the problem of losing premature hairs.
The causes of this type of hair losses can be in numbers. However, I would like to discuss the commonest one of them. This problem is typically known as Androgenic Alopecia in case of men. From it’s name it is clear that one of the most important reasons of hair losses in men is generated by a male hormone, called Androgen. But this is also true that it is this hormone again which helps in growing hairs as well. Then, what makes it do otherwise? There is an enzyme called 5 Alpha Reductase. This enzyme is prone to combine with another male hormone, called testosterone, generally known as male sex hormone. So, finally the combination of these three gives birth to a metabolite called Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This DHT does the rest. The way this DHT causes the premature hair losses is a very intricate biological phenomenon and requires senses of biological science to understand that. But in a nut shell this can be described as: when this DHT cuts off the route for protein, minerals and vitamins to reach the hair follicles, the head-epidermis gets swollen and looses to withstand hairs. It also hampers normal growth of hairs too.
However, from long experience I can tell you that apart from metabolism, some other factors are also responsible for premature hair losses. A life with full of tension, anxiety, agony and over enthusiasm may also lead to premature hair losses. The mechanism may be same to drag male hormones in the scene but it cannot be ward-off by improving nutrition. Many times, it is seen that a calm and quiet life gets a head full of thick black hair even at the age of 55-60. I mean to clear that a turmoil life is also prone to premature hair losses.
The way out. In this regard I would prefer natural treatment which should be given the first priority if one really needs his hairs to stay at their places. Natural treatment starts from growing the habit of taking adequate and good nutritious food on regular basis. Metabolism is the main process which can insist or resist the DHT.
Many of us just eat to live. But it is a fact that if we maintain a good and suggestive food habit we will definitely be away from as much as 80% health problems. Therefore, we should consult a good nutritionist and should follow the suggestive food chart daily as he prescribes. This will be an effective solution to hair losses. This will act as a precautionary measure to mitigate and ultimately stop hair losses. A number of prescription and non-prescription treatments are also available in the market. I would personally, suggest non-prescription treatments, because average male get shy to go to a doctor with a complain of hair losses. Additionally, non-prescription treatments create a feeling of ‘not being ill’.
However, all these treatments use the same mechanism against hair losses. The ingredients of these medicines prevent reactions among Androgen, Testosterone and 5 Alpha Reductase. But then, ultimately all these treatments influence the metabolic system of our body to control or check hair losses.
To sum-up, be calm, quiet, tension free and grow a habit of taking nutritious foods every day to check premature hair losses.
