Hair loss is a common problem to both men and women especially after
getting over the age of 30 years. In most cases, there is always a
certain cause of this hair loss and can at times be easily resolved with
certain loss treatment regimes. One of the major loss treatments commonly
used by many people is anti hair loss products. However, these products
have varying modes of action that users should be well conversant with
before they start using the products.
Common causes of loss and associated Hair loss treatment products
There are a number of loss causes in men and women. Gladly, a majority of
them are reversible through use of hair loss treatment products. Some of
these causes include:
Androgen hormones imbalance – Androgens are major determinants of hair’s
growth and distribution pattern. The most significant androgen that
contributes to hair loss is called Dyhydrotestosterone (DHT) which is a
derivative of testosterone. Biologically, the higher the number of
interactions between this hormone and its receptors in the scalp’s
dermis, the higher the effect of limited hair growth and distribution.
Some of the treatment products use this aspect by blocking the DHT
receptor sites and other androgen receptor sites that affect growth and
distribution, thus promoting more growth and better distribution.
Poor Nourishment – Poor nourishment of the hair follicles leads to
development of weak hair that easily falls off. It also decreases the
rate of hair re-growth which contributes significantly to loss. A number
of loss treatment products use this underlying cause by boosting hair
nourishment especially through use of vitamins and active ingredients
which facilitate hair re-growth such as Biotin. Another group of anti
loss products which act as hair growth stimulant also uses hair
nourishment aspect at the follicles to facilitate recovery of lost hair.
Inflammation and scalp infections – Inflammation and scalp infections are
also a major cause of loss. When the scalp gets some infections such
tinea capitis or conditions which cause inflammation of the follicles, it
results into noticeable loss. For such cases, loss products which are
formulated into anti-inflammatory or anti-fungal products are used to
alleviate such loss.
Since hair loss may not be solely linked to one cause, most of these loss
products feature a combination of active ingredients with different modes
of action in restoring lost hair. Nonetheless, understanding the cause of
the loss problem is always worthwhile before using any loss treatment for
better results.
