Common Causes of Hair Loss and Baldness

Heredity - a family history having a genetic predisposition to thinning hair Commonly known as male or female pattern hair loss.

Medications - various acne treatments, anti-depressants, birth control pills, various drugs and medications and chemotherapy. You may see a list of drugs which cause hair loss.

Health Situations - health and medical conditions such as hyperthyroidism and lupus can cause thinning hair. Some women experience sudden hair loss at the conclusion of pregnancy.

Stress and Trauma - this can cause constriction of blood supply and poor nutrition to the hair and scalp..

Diet and Nutrition - a poor diet, which can include diets high in animal fat, too much protein, too much fast food, or quick weight loss diets.

Environmental Toxins and Pollutants - various elements such as chlorine, metals, minerals and water pollution.

Main Types Of Hair Loss

Androgenetic Alopecia: Also known as male or female pattern hair loss. This is the most common type of hair loss.

Alopecia Areata: A sudden loss of hair in round irregular patches, where the scalp is not visibly inflamed. This type of hair loss occurs in individuals who have no obvious skin disorders or serious disease. The cause is unknown, but may be related to stress or auto-immune disease. Alopecia areata may be confined to a few areas of the scalp and is often reversed in a few months. According to the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, an estimated four million men, women and children suffer from this type of hair loss.

Postpartum Alopecia: A temporary scattered hair loss at the end of pregnancy.

Telogen Effluvium: A premature shedding of hair in the resting or telogen phase, which can result from various causes such as childbirth, shock, side effects of various medications, fever, etc. Some women also experience sudden hair loss when they discontinue use of birth control pills or follow extreme diets too low in protein. The hair loss is usually reversed once the condition is resolved.

Traction or Traumatic Alopecia: Patchy or scattered hair loss due to the use of hot combs or repetitive traction of the hair by pulling or twisting. This type of hair loss could also occur after excessive applications of chemical softening agents such as relaxers and permanent waves, especially those that use lye-based perms and colorings. This condition is usually reversed once the trauma is stopped.

Understanding Male and Female Pattern Hair Loss and the Effects of DHT

The most common form of hair loss and balding is known as Adrogenetic Alopecia or pattern hair loss, which represents the vast majority of all hair loss cases. Scientists now believe that approximately 90% of the hair loss seen in both men and women is caused by pattern hair loss. Pattern hair loss is a common condition affecting approximately 40 million men and 20 million women in the United States alone. The disorder may begin before age twenty, however more commonly it begins in a person's 20's or 30's. This disorder is thought to affect about half of men by age 50. Symptoms are recognized as a gradual thinning of the hair on the scalp. Often, this results in a receding hair line and or balding on the top middle or back portions of the scalp. The hair loss, in general, can be described as mild, moderate or severe and tends to follow a particular pattern in men. (Norwood pattern hair loss diagrams) In women, it manifests itself as a generalized thinning hair over the entire crown of the head. It is extremely rare for women to lose all of their hair. The amount of hair loss and baldness, as well as the size of the affected areas of thinning hair and balding, tend to gradually increase over time, often over a span of several years or decades.

Clinicians and researchers generally agree that common male and female pattern hair loss is due to a combination of factors, including heredity, hormones and age and environment which cause a progressive shrinking or miniaturization of certain hair follicles pre-dispositioned to experience hair loss.  It is thought to be due to a combination of genetic factors, arising from either the mother’s or father’s side of the family, or both, and is dependent upon age, as well as circulating hormones. Pattern hair loss can manifest with surprising speed, but generally occurs gradually over time. In unaffected individuals of both genders, typically, normal, healthy human hair grows at the rate of about 1/2 inch per month, but varies by individual.

Clinical studies have shown that in those who experience pattern hair loss, the balding areas of the scalp contain smaller hair follicles and increased susceptibility to a hormone called DHT.

5-Alpha-Reductase (5AR) is an enzyme in the body which converts the hormone testosterone into Di Hydro Testosterone (DHT) . DHT is important developmentally early in a man's life. However, it is widely believed to precipitate the most common variety of hair loss. In pattern hair loss, DHT triggers a chain of events that result in a negative growth cycle of hairs within susceptible hair follicles. The affected hair follicles continue in this negative progression until they no longer produce visible hair.

DHT binds (or locks into) to specific points on the hair follicle known as androgen receptor sites. The DHT then causes the follicles to shrink.

It is the binding (locking) of DHT inside the hair follicles and roots that is one of the primary causes of male and female pattern hair loss.

One may think of this as an electrical plug going into an electrical wall outlet. Unfortunately, when this attachment occurs in susceptible scalp hair follicles, it causes a negative change in the growth pattern of the hair. The follicle and accompanying structures begin a process of miniaturization. The hair shrinks in diameter and the hair growth cycle becomes shorter.

The result is smaller, thinner, weaker, virtually invisible hairs (lighter in color). Eventually the hair follicles and roots die and the hair falls out, a process which is called "pattern hair loss". Over time, increased hair loss follows a particular pattern on the scalp, as shown in the Norwood hair loss chart. Hair outside of this pattern remains healthy and vigorous.

Research has also shown that DHT is found at the base of the hair shaft, or at its roots.  There it creates a wax-like substance around the roots and thus constricts the blood supply to them.

Proper nutrition is critical in order to maintain strong, healthy hairs. A restricted blood supply to the hair roots (dermal papilla) prevents necessary proteins, vitamins and minerals from bringing nourishment needed to sustain life in those hairs.

When there is a limited supply of blood to the hair roots, the cells in the follicles and roots reproduce at a much slower rate. This causes the hair follicles to become smaller and thus shortens their growing stage (anagen phase) and or lengthens their resting stage (telogen phase).

Research has shown that in susceptible individuals, DHT contributes to the miniaturization of the hair follicles, weakening of the hairs themselves in those follicles, a shortening of the hair growth phase and a lengthening of the hair resting phase. As the growing phase becomes shorter, the quality of the hair degenerates, so the hairs becomes thinner, weaker and lighter in color. At the same time, there is more frequent fall out of those smaller and weaker hairs. This results in a gradual thinning of the hair on the affected areas of the scalp - hence, baldness may set in at those places.

What Hair Genesis™ hair loss treatment products can do for you

Clinical research has shown that once DHT locks into the hair follicles, it cannot be removed. You can only prevent more DHT from binding inside your hair follicles. So in order to effectively stop more hair loss and help regrow hair, hair loss treatment products have to do at least two important things:

1.) If you can prevent the DHT which is already circulating in your body from binding inside (or locking into) the hair follicles, then you can prevent more hair fall out and hair loss by protecting your hair follicles from any more DHT locking inside them. The Hair Genesis™ Shampoo, Conditioner and Topical Serum all contain clinically-tested DHT blockers, 5-Alpha-Reductase (5AR) inhibitors, which accomplish this.

2.) If you can also prevent the Metabolism of more DHT being produced in your body, then you can further prevent more hair loss in the future and help maintain the hair you presently have, while helping your hair to grow back naturally. A healthier hair follicle is better able to produce a healthier and stronger hair. The Hair Genesis™ Oral Softgels also contain clinically-tested DHT blockers, 5-Alpha-Reductase (5AR) inhibitors, which accomplish this.

The Hair Genesis™ hair loss treatment system uses four botanically-derived products all of which contain 5AR inhibitors (DHT blockers) and are designed to interfere with this negative process. HairGenesis™ uses botanical formulations to naturally and effectively stop the problem of DHT both orally and topically, without the use of drugs. Many hair loss treatment products, such as Rogaine™, Avacor™, generic Minoxidil and Hair Advantage™, use the widely-known drug Minoxidil.

The Oral Softgels (ie: DHT blockers) can be thought of as a super hair vitamin. The Hair Genesis™ Topical  Activator Serum, Hair Genesis™ Revitalizing and Thickening Shampoo, as well as the Hair Genesis Revitalizing Conditioner, all contain carefully formulated 5AR inhibitors (DHT blockers) consisting of botanical ingredients which are shown to interfere with the progression of this disorder. By incorporating the entire Hair Genesis™ treatment regimen into your daily routine, you can maximize the potential benefits you will achieve. The combined result is to thoroughly block and remove the degenerating effects of DHT, both orally and topically, while in some cases, reversing the hair loss process. In short, you can start to re-grow your own hair again, naturally.

Minoxidil-based products, such as Rogaine™, Avacor™, generic Minoxidil and Hair Advantage™ do not work effectively or at all on the front hairline area. This is the first area where most men start to notice hair loss and balding. In comparison, Hair Genesis™ does work on the front receding hairline area to help regrow hair.

Plus, there are no known side effects or interactions with vitamins or drugs when using HairGenesis™, as there may be with other hair loss products, particularly such Minoxidil-based products as Rogaine™, Avacor™, generic Minoxidil and Hair Advantage™. HairGenesis™ products are naturally derived and safe to use for both men and women.
