Do you really know what causes baldness? Discovering the truth about its origins could offer a way to solve the problem instead of just waiting and letting all your hair fall out. In this article, I'll drill down to the basics of how it originates and use this to show you exactly why and how the best cures stop your hair loss and allow you to regrow your hair.
Testosterone
It starts with the production of testosterone in the body. We all produce testosterone anyway but especially men due to our testicles.
However, testosterone in itself is really not that useful. So the body converts it into various androgens that are better utilised by the organs. One of these is DHT.
DHT
DHT is used throughout the body, especially in the liver. However, it also coalesces in the scalp where it can unfortunately affect the hair follicles.
Denutrification
DHT stops the follicles from accessing the nutrition they need to make hair from your bloodstream. Slowly over time your hairs become thinner and thinner until the follicle stops producing hair and you get an area of baldness.
The good news is that even if the follicle has stopped producing hairs for up to 4 years, then it can still be revived.
Drugs And Natural Cures
Both work the same way in that they help to disperse the DHT and they also help the follicles to better access the nutrition they need.
With two big exceptions. First, drugs cost a few thousand dollars per year whereas a natural home made recipe costs a few bucks. Second, drugs are unique because they have many common (not rare) side effects such as impotence, low libido and erectile dysfunction.
