In my next few posts I will be talking about the history of hair loss. I will talk about the earliest findings right up to todays scientific breakthroughs.

the first scientific recording regarding baldness was done by Hippocrates. Since then many scientists have made many discoveries regarding hair loss. Some theories were away off and some were not bad. But really until the second half of the twentieth century, there was no real advances and certainly no way of halting the process.

The firsts major breakthrough was made by a scientist specializing hair loss research named Norman Orentreich. Initially Dr Orentreich’s theories were dismissed and not believed by then then experts and journalists of major medical journals. Four years after his experiment and research, Dr Orentreich finally got it published.

There were many groundbreaking revelations especially about the cause of hair loss. Even though he scientifically proved the real causes of hair loss, unbelievably people still choose to believe many falsities about hair loss causes. I guess we choose what we want to believe in the hope that logical answers will provide logical simple solutions. This is another example of the emotions “denial” in this case wreak on the hair loss sufferer.

So, in the next couple of articles, I will give a history behind the myths, truths and solutions regarding hair loss. I will also give you a clear insight into the life cycle of your hair follicles which will give you a good understanding of how it is natural to shed and regrow hair as part of the hair growth re-growth cycles.

The hair loss starts to occur when the growth phase “re-birth” of shedding begins weaken and eventually stop. As you will see this phase is mainly down to genetics and dht.

Going bald is one of the toughest ordeals men face. Few that suffer or suffered from hair loss would argue other wise. I strikes into the core of their sense of who they are and attacks their confidence and ability to be happy. They are constantly worried and preoccupied by their hair loss. Loosing hair is certainly some thing that’s hard to “just accept”

• What will people think of me?
• Will women ever find me attractive again?
• Will my wife or girlfriend be repulsed and embarrassed by me (She could do so much better)?
• Will I look old way before my time?
• Will my family think less of me?

These are just some of the common mental agonies constantly picking at a hair loss sufferer.

Crippled by hair replacement nightmare stories

Another major problem is that a huge percentage of balding men simply do nothing because they are terrified by all the horror stories they read about people that took hair replacement procedures. The sad fact is that they have good reason to be cautious. Thousands have been permanently disfigured and lost huge sums of money to unscrupulous profit seekers taking advantage of the patients desperation.

Unfortunately there are still many of these Mal-practitioners advertising and snaring hair loss sufferers today.

Below are some tips on finding good hair loss surgeons but be sure to read on to find out how you can avoid hair surgery completely and get your hair back to its prime.

Some tips when seeking out excellent hair restoration surgeons

• Testimonials, Testimonials Testimonials . You have to see proof of surgeons work
• If the person giving you a consultation at the clinic is NOT a qualified surgeon : Run. These are biased and will rob you blind.
• Don’t consider hair loss surgery if you are under 30
• Only Reputable surgeons can be found here on the hair transplant network

Prevention is better than cure

If you feel you are loosing your hair you should be noticing more hair on your pillow and comb as well as in the shower. Your hair will feel different and weaker when you run your fingers through it. You will begin to see alot more scalp when you put gel in your hair. This is a frightening time but the great news is that thanks to modern knowledge and medicine the process CAN be stopped before its tool late and your follicles die.

Dht is the hormone that causes hair loss. It has been proven to be the most common cause of male pattern baldness. It a genetic hard coded dna setting that when activated will cause a hormonal reaction that has a negative effect on the hair follicles. For some more information on how to prevent loosing hair and dht blockers check out Provillus.

I cringe nearly every time I see an advertisement for hair loss cures or balding solutions. The reason I cringe is that the models usually used are really good looking men with the thickest slickest hair you can imagine. They are picture perfect and ideal for selling the dream of confidence, looks and a full head of hair. The truth is that the last time these men had little hair was when they were born.

These picture perfect models selling the dream for me are just a clear reminder of all the hair loss scams out there. So many companies and hair loss clinics prey on peoples burning desire to solve their hair loss problems and regain their youthful good looks. Hair loss has terrible consequences for the sufferer and their lives are turned upside down by this intrusion to his/her looks.  The money grabbers know that unfortunate hair loss sufferers will fork out almost any money to solve their dilemma.

Ok : Losing hair is definetly the end of the world after all there are many bald celebrities that are still considered very sexy.

• Calum best
• Sean Connery
• Wayne Rooney

Just to name a few. The problem with hair loss is mainly the phycological damage it causes. Some men and womone no matter how tough they are get rattled to the core by their hair loss problems. Some handle it without much stress but this is more exception than rule.

The other sad fact is, the sufferer will really grasp on to the hope that what he/she has invested in will pay off in terms of getting desired hair regrowth and strengthening. Enventually they realize that it is not working and are really disheartened. Their burning desire to get their hair back soon over takes their regret over their last treatment and the cycle of hope and desperation continues again.

One of the most important steps for a balding person is educating themselves on what is their hair loss cause , and what options are available to them. You also need to be aware of the types of false products that are out there so as not to waste your money and more importantly, your time. Time is every thing when your hair starts to thin. Tackling your thinning hair loss with dht blockers will usually reverse the condition before the follicles become to damaged and die.

Do your research, read my articles or send me an email if you have questions. Buy some books on amazon, I recommend “The Hair Replacement Revolution”. While you are researching and educating yourself it is also advisable to tackle the dht proliferation immediately with Provillus , this way you are tackling the most common cause of the problem which is likely being caused by DHT and if the problem turns out to be something other than dht then at least you eliminated the most probable cause. It’s then, that your gp and allergists should have found the root cause and suggest a treatment.

Hair loss cause can be related to physical conditions in some cases but it’s rarely the case and its been proven that the genetic patterns we are hard coded with ultimately cause our dht imbalances.
