Finding The Best Hair Loss Treatment for Men Can Be A Daunting Task

Hair Loss Remedy

There are few things more unsettling for a man than to wake up each day and find you have less hair than the day before. Who really knows why this is the so disturbing, after all it is only hair. Perhaps one reason this natural process is so troubling is the inevitability of the outcome. Or perhaps it is the realization of lost youth fading into the sunset. Who really knows, perhaps it is different for each of us.

If you have just now started searching for a hair loss treatment for men you will be surprised at how many different options are available. There are hundreds, maybe even thousands that claim to re-grow hair. The question in picking a hair loss treatment for men is will any of them actually work.

I can't speak for all these products, but I have tried quite a few over the years. Some have worked, while others have been a total waste of time and money. A number of years ago I tried a highly recommended hair re-growth product that was a combination shampoo and scalp cream that was quite expensive, and showed no results. On the other hands many of the herbal formulas containing saw palmetto extract and/or essential oils have been the most effective.

Why? It is a great question and one that I wish someone would have answered honestly for me before I wasted a great deal of time and money searching for a hair loss treatment for men that showed results!

The truth of the matter is that if you are losing your hair the chances are well over ninety percent that it is not with the hair shaft itself but with the follicle that produces the hair shaft. The follicle is shrinking. Some follicle contraction is natural, occurring with age, but really shouldn't come into play until a man is in his late fifties. And even then it should not represent severe balding.

What is happening is the naturally hair loss process which is being mediated by the enzyme 5 alpha reductase type 2 is accelerating through a complicated process of conversion and accumulation. The conversion takes place when testosterone is converted into dihydrotestosterone. The accumulation takes place as the dihydrotestosterone accumulated on the hair follicle causing it to begin to contract. The longer it goes, the more follicles affected, and the higher the level of accumulation, the greater the hair loss, balding, or thinning.

To be effective any hair loss treatment for men must be able to block the conversion process or be able to re-open closed or contracting follicles. If a hair loss treatment for men can do both you will see excellent results. If it accomplishes one out of two you will see above average results.

What Next? There are currently a handful of hair re-growth products which have been proven to be effective both in blocking harmful hormones and bringing the all important dead hair follicles back to life. These specially formulated treatments can be used both as a preventative tool, starting before hair loss becomes severe, or after loss of hair has become noticeable. Whatever the level of balding or thinning you are experiencing these products could be just what is needed to overcome this latest life challenge.
