When it comes to hair loss there is a lot of misinformation floating around. Yes, there are very real, scientific causes of hair loss, but there are also things that people claim can cause hair loss that typically do not on their own.
The one thing every person wants to know about their hair loss is, why did this happen? Was it something that could have been prevented? Is it something that can be reversed? Or was it something I had no control over?
It’s a new year, which means new year’s resolutions. Eating healthy, getting in shape, and treating your body better are always at the top of most people’s lists, but that’s a lot easier said than done.
As our bodies age there are some things we can control: weight gain, exercise, and a balanced diet are all things that can be managed through a little hard work and will power, but what about hair loss?
Hair transplants aren’t for everyone and sometimes can’t always cover all of the affected areas that the patient wants. Thankfully there are other procedures and methods that we can use to help create the illusion of hair density so that you’re not left with highly noticeable “see-through” areas of your scalp.
To us, hair is one of the most fascinating parts of the human body. Did you know that hair grows on every surface of the body except the palms, lips and genitals. New hair is constantly being synthesized as it grows and sheds in a cyclical fashion and everyone can have their own unique style and growth patterns. It truly is amazing.
Trying to figure out what causes hair loss in men has been a topic of scientific study for years. Thankfully as technology, and our understanding of science, evolves, we are able to test more theories and get a better idea of what factors may lead to male pattern baldness and general hair loss.
When people start to experience hair loss it can be degrading, and it can affect their self-esteem. They often wonder if the hair loss is related to something they did, and if there is a way to reverse it.
Throughout their lifetime, more than 80% of men will experience some form of hair loss; it’s an inevitable part of life for most people. And while most men understand that they will, at some point, lose their hair, or experience thinning, most do not understand what causes hair loss.
When visiting your doctor, there are always going to be some questions that are too embarrassing, or uncomfortable to talk about, but they shouldn’t be. Your doctor is there to help you understand what might be going on with your body and talk to you about the steps you can take to ensure you’re living a healthy lifestyle.
When you begin to notice your hair thinning or your hairline receding, one of the first things people wonder is how much hair they are going to lose and how fast is it going to happen. Unfortunately, these questions are hard to answer as most of the time hair loss is genetic and it can’t always be predicted.
