Hair Thinning and Baldness - Symptoms, Causes, Treatment

The ordinary kind of hair loss, called hereditary hair loss, can affect both men and women, but women are usually affected less than men. The condition is so common that it nearly can be regarded as a part of the normal aging process.

 

SYMPTOMS OF HAIR LOSS

The pattern of hair loss and baldness are different for men and women. On men special areas on the head begin get totally bald. These areas are usually at both sides of the front, and the top back side of the head. The hair loss then progresses with these areas extending, and at last most of the head can be totally without hair.

On women all the hair on the head begins thinning, and then gradually progress over the whole head for many years. Women seldom get totally bald, but the hair often gets so thin that the scalp is clearly visible through the hair. Sometimes areas on the head get bald.

 

THE CAUSES OF HAIR LOSS

The skin has there layers: The outer layer, called epidermis, consists of epithelial cells. Under this lies the dermis consisting of connective tissue. At the bottom there is a layer called the hypodermis consisting mostly of fat cells.

The skin has narrow pores, hair follicles, extending from the surface down to the top of the sub-dermis, called hair follicles. A hair extend from a growth zone in the bottom of each hair follicle and out at the skin surface

By the common form of hair loss, a substance in the body, di-hydroxy-testosterone (DHT), influence the cells in the hair follicles and make these cells divide less so that the production of hair slows or stops.

DHT is a metabolic product from testosterone, the male sex hormone. Also women have some amount of testosterone and DHT in their body, and therefore hair loss also affect women.

Only cells that are susceptible to the influence from DHT will slow the growth process. This susceptibility is inherited from the parents by some individuals, and not by other. Follicle cells in the lower parts of the head are usually also resistant against the influence from DHT, and therefore these areas seldom get bald.

The effectiveness of hair growth will not only be affected by DHT, but the amount of stimulating substances like vitamins, minerals and other hormones will also affect the follicles, and possible in a positive direction. Therefore all individuals susceptible to the influence of DHT will not lose hair in the same extent.

 

TREATMENT OPTIONS

Having a good diet giving the body vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants in the right amount may slow down the speed of hair loss.

There exist pharmacological products on the market that can help against hair loss, but usually not 100% effectively. Medicines used to treat prostate hypertrophy also have been proven to stop hair loss and to get hair to regain, because these drugs block the substance DHT. Propecia is a prescription bound drug to take by mouth based on an original prostate medicine.

Minoxidil is originally a drug for high blood pressure. It was discovered that it also stimulated the hair to grow better. There are several drugs on the market that use minoxidil as the main working ingredient. Rogain is such a topical drug to apply 2-3 times each day based on minoxidil. Minoxidil is also marketed under the proper name minoxidil. In some countries these drugs in concentrations used for hair loss are sold prescription free.

Many natural ingredients are reported to  give signal to the cells in the hair follicles to accelerate growth, for example procyanidin B2.

Some people report that a supplement of the vitamine biotin slows down hair loss and stimulates hair growth. Good sources of biotin is cauliflower, egg yolks, peanuts, liver, chicken, yeast and mushrooms.

Other natural compounds block oxidative attacks on the follicle constituents, like L-arginine.

Natural blockers of the  DHT are also used in natural extracts. Saw palmetto extract contains constituents that gives more or less the same effect as Rogain.

Still other ingredients can hinder much of the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Grean tea extract contain these kinds of effectors.

There are many natural products on the market to help against hair loss. These products often contain several substances working together by different principles.

Surgery is an effective treatment against baldness. By surgery hair follicles from parts of the scull immune to DHT are moved to bold areas. The hair in the treated areas will however not get as tight as naturally growing hair.

It is also possible to implant artificial hair into the scalp. By this method, large bald areas can be covered, but the treatment implies a certain danger for infection, and requires good hair hygiene afterwards.
