Pattern Baldness – Causes and Treatment Options
Hair loss sucks. There’s absolutely no question about it. And since the majority of us with thinning hair are experiencing a condition known as androgenetic alopecia, or pattern baldness, the information contained within this website will provide you with information and treatment options that can help you slow, stop, and even reverse your pattern baldness as quickly and inexpensively as possible.
Let us first discuss the very nature of pattern baldness so we can get a firm grasp on the unfortunate condition which is compromising our self confidence and sense of youth and attractiveness.
Pattern baldness is quite simply the starvation of your hair follicles due to a triad of primary factors. These factors are hormonal imbalance, nutrient deficiency, and inadequate scalp circulation. Most people only focus on one of these at a time, and as a result, they end up with very modest results, if any at all. But we’ll get to that in a moment.
An important thing to note is that male pattern baldness and female pattern baldness, while similar in many ways, also have their differences based on gender-specific hormones. Men generally have more testosterone, which equates to higher levels of dht. If you watched the video above, you understand that dht (dihydrotestosterone) is the primary cause of follicle starvation, and is therefore the leading cause of pattern baldness.
As a result, male pattern baldness is usually more severe in how it causes a man to lose his hair. It generally manifests itself as a bald spot on the crown of the head, as well as a receding hair line above the temples. If gone untreated long enough, it will result in the “horse shoe” look. Some celebrities at this level of their hair loss include Al Roker, Patrick Stewart, Hulk Hogan, and Dr. Phil.
For women, this condition is usually less severe, but it tends to cover a larger portion of the scalp, making it every bit as concerning. The sides, back, front and top of a woman’s head are all vulnerable to female pattern baldness. Initially, this will just appear as a progressive overall thinning, but left untreated the entire scalp can become visible, covered only by extremely fine “baby hair.” Most women with this severity of hair loss either wear wigs or shell out thousands of dollars for surgical hair restoration.
So let’s get back to those three root causes of follicle starvation, which ultimately lead to pattern baldness and not-so-nice feelings. Here they are in some detail, each one followed by the most relevant and effective treatment option. Again, most people address only one of these three… you are encouraged to embrace all three, as this will increase your chances of success ten-fold! Here they are:
1. Clean up the blood.
2. Nourish the blood.
3. Deliver the blood.
