Read my hair loss story here and find out how I keep a full thick head of hair almost ten years after starting to go bald quickly.



Before taking action to prevent balding it is advisable to determine the cause as there are many myths out there doing the rounds. It could be that DHT inhibitors are the answer you have been seeking all the time.  And you could do a lot worse than talking to your hair professional or doctor about a suitable cure.
DHT inhibitors are often the most cost effective treatment for both female hair loss and male pattern baldness that is responsible for that well known horseshoe shaped loss of hair around the crown of the head and the troublesome receding hair line.
DHT is a hormonal by-product of testosterone which means it is a natural by-product that the body does not require.  DHT inhibitors are therefore a safe way of preventing DHT from impeding the normal hair growth process.  It works its miracle by stopping DHT in in tracks as it goes about shrinking and stopping the growth of hair follicles especially in that of men around the temples and crown of the head.
Both men and women have DHT hormones despite many people referring it to being a male hormone only. This means that both men and women suffer hair loss as a result of DHT and the over production of DHT has been found to be mainly hereditary.  A fact that explains that only some people in the community suffer from hair loss.
It is particularly hard to prevent the effects of over production of a hormone such as DHT, if it is a hereditary trait, with the use of other medications when the simple and safe treatment is the prevention of DHT with a natural and appropriate inhibitor.
Not all hair loss treatments are DHT blockers, many others focus on cleaning hair follicles, the increase of scalp blood flow and the addressing of  clogging issues.  There are many and varied causes of hair loss but the use of DHT blockers is the safest way to go if there is any sign of hereditary factors being involved.

Do dht shampoos really work?

There are four main approaches to treating hair loss. Some treatments are designed to prevent hair loss and thinning and some focus on hair regrowth. Science and medicine has proven that DHT is the major cause of hair loss and male pattern baldness. DHT is metabolite and is associated with a hormone called testosterone. Testosterone is found in the :

  • prostate gland
  • testicles
  • adrenal glands
  • hair follicles

DHT plays an important role in body hair and facial hair growth and more importantly it is proven that an imbalance of dht causes hair loss. Good hair loss treatments aim to prevent follicular damage from DHT and some prevent DHT’s production altogether. A popular method of controlling hair loss is to embrace antiandrogens, which aim to cease DHT from binding with you androgen receptors. The other popular approach is using DHT Blockers . The purpose of dht inhibitors is to control the production of dht while reestablishing a healthy balance between natural shedding and regrowth of the phases of hair growth.

There are alot of dht blocking products on the market today. The can come in different forms :

  • Tabular , like Provillus
  • Topical
  • DHT Shampoos

A popular dht shampoo is Neutrogena T-Gel shampoo.

T-Gel shampoo is more commonly associated with treating Dandruff and psoriasis. It’s is effective as a mild dht blocker which would be suitable in the very early days of thinning but may not be strong enough to be effective.

Revivogen DHT Shampoo

Revivogen is certainly more effective as a dht blocking shampoo than T-Gel. It is made from natural ingredients so it is not as tough on the hair and scalp. Revivogen may be enough to get hair back to original strength but only in the very early stages.

DHT Shampoos should be used with focused DHT Inhibitors

Even though dht shampoos can be effective the problem is that many factors can effect the long term results of dht shampoos. Mainly the fact that the shampoo is not really ihibiting the dht can cause the problem to continue quickly after not using shampoo. You really do need to was your hair each day and becareful to not expose to elements, like rain and wind for about an hour to ensure that the shampoo gets to soak properly in and is’nt neutralized in any way.

The ideal solution is a combination of dht shampoo and a truly effective dht blocker tabular form like Provillus . If you are going for a dht shampoo, I would recommend the milder yet more effective Revivogen. Of course there are some simple dietary tips you can avail of too to make the treatment even more effective in a quicker time. Check out my offer on the home page for “hair loss dietary information and maximizing your results”.

Causes and solutions for hair loss

Hair loss has always been a problem. It’s certainly not a new condition and people have been trying to find solutions for hundreds of years. One this we do know is that hair loss and male pattern baldness was mainly down to hereditary over a century ago. The many chemicals, diet changes and environmental conditions we are exposed to today have added many new triggers and accelerators for hair loss.

Adrogenetic alopecia and genetics.

Most medical experts agree that male pattern baldness and female hair loss is mainly genetic. Studies have found that we inherit this dna programming from our mothers side of the family. Does this mean that we are doomed if hair loss is in our blood. Good news is : Absolutely Not.

If genetics are the cause of your hair loss, whats happening is your gene programming and hormone balance is programmed in such away that dht (Dihydrotestostrone) is not being fought off and balanced like it used to and begin to damage your hair follicles.

Genetic hair loss usually occurs over a period of years although some men with male pattern baldness can go completely bald in 12 to 24 months. You will start to notice your hair thinning.

  • More hairs on the pillow
  • It will feel different and brittle when you run your hands through it
  • More hairs on your hair brush
  • More hair in the shower
Males baldness tends to begin in either the temples or crown while women what suffer from hair loss usually lose it in large patches in random areas.
So what should you do when your hair starts thinning?
The good news is that thanks to modern science and medicine hair loss is now completely unavoidable. There are several different solutions to hair loss out there. Some are more effective than others and some are down right scams. Below I will list some of the proven solutions out there. Depending on how advanced your hair thinning is, 1 or a combination of products may be needed.
  • Propecia
  • Rogain
  • Laser Comb
  • Minioxidyl
  • DHT Blockers (Provillus – Excellent hair loss prevention : Reverses effects of genetic DHT)
  • Hair Restoration Surgery(Expensive : best option for advanced to totally bald men)
Propecia and Rogain are probably to most commercially well know due to the high exposure and press from television and radio adverts. Propecia is a prescription only FDA approved drug. Make sure you dont purshase propecia online as its most likely fake. If you are going with propecia you can consult with your GP and he/she should also be able to supply the hair loss drug.
Rogain is a usually administered in topical liquid or foam for. I is available at pharmacists. Rogain is pretty messy to apply as it tends to wet and make your hair feel rather greasy.
There are also many hair loss cover up solutions on the market today. These products do NOT combat or solve your hair loss problem. They are simply cosmetic cover ups of your thinning areas. Some well know cover ups are : Toppik, Couvre and Toupees.
For a person in the early stages of hair loss, by far his/her best option is using dht inhibitors and by far the most evvestive dht blocker on the market today is Provillus
