DHT Hair

Baldness is something that can affect your self esteem as well as your beautiful head of hair. Learning about what causes male pattern baldness, how you may be able to prevent it, and what you can do if hair loss has begun, are important steps to maintain, or increase your chances of keeping your hair, healthy, plentiful, and growing.

• Male pattern baldness is hereditary. It can be passed down from either parent. If there are men in your family who have suffered from male pattern baldness, the chances are good that you will too. While the genes play a big role, other things also play a part in deciding if you will lose hair, and to what extent. The hereditary part of male pattern baldness, is a hormone called Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) being over produced. The other factors are things such as diet, exercise, and toxic substance abuse. DHT hair loss can be increased by the lifestyle factors mentioned above.
• Preventing DHT hair loss may be possible, even if it's in your family. Taking preventative measures can decrease the likelihood that you will experience male pattern baldness. Eating a diet low in simple carbohydrates, high in lean protein and low in fat will increase the nutritional support of your hair. Exercising regularly will increase your circulation, and send more blood flow to your scalp. This will bring the necessary nutrients to the hair follicles. Avoiding cigarette smoke will make a difference too. Cigarettes deliver toxins to your blood, which can cause hair loss.
• Using a hair loss supplement, which is all natural and contains a DHT blocker will increase your chances of preventing DHT induced hair loss, as well as help stop any hair loss that may have already begun. DHT blockers, such as Saw Palmetto, work with the other ingredients in natural supplements or hair loss vitamins, to block DHT, clean away the dead hair follicles, and promote hair growth by increasing blood flow to the scalp.

DHT hair loss is not necessarily the end of your head of hair; it can be stopped, or prevented from ever starting. For more information about DHT and hair, visit www.procerin.com.
