How to Beat Male Pattern Baldness?
Receding hairline and thinning hair on the crown area of the head is known as male pattern baldness. It is also called androgenic alopecia and it is the most common type of hair loss in men. According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM), more than 50 percent of all men over the age of 50 will be affected by male pattern baldness.
Early Signs of Balding
- Change in hairline
- Slow hair growth or thinning hair
- Excessive hair loss
As time progresses, if this is left untreated then it forms an “M” shaped hair loss in males. However, every type of hair loss is not always an indication of male pattern baldness. For example, losing random patches of hair can indicate that you may have alopecia.
What causes Male Pattern Baldness?
Genetics can play a role in determining how much hair loss one can suffer. (Source: genetic prediction of male pattern baldness PLOS Genetics, 2017) However, other factors such as hair styling, stress levels, nutrition, underlying medical conditions, or medications can also cause balding. The male hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is also a common cause of baldness. Moreover, the hair growth cycle is also an important factor. For example, each hair follicle grows for 3 years, after which the hair sheds and a new one grows. When affected by male pattern baldness the hair growth cycle becomes shorter or the hair is unable to grow back as usual.
Controlling Male Pattern Baldness
-
Reduce Stress:
Indulge in activities such as meditation or yoga. Increased stress levels can put the hair follicles in the resting stage and they no longer grow. Managing stress levels can help to slow down hair loss.
-
Diet:
Paying attention to what you eat is very important. Including food items such as green tea and flax seeds in your daily diet can help to reduce the effect of DHT and further aid in controlling hair loss. While red meat should be avoided as it is known to be a DHT activator.
-
Chemical Products:
In the long run use of chemical products can damage the hair follicles severely. Avoid the use of harsh hair products and colour treatments. Instead, choose hair products made of natural ingredients.
It is important to remember that the sooner you start the hair fall treatment, the better are the chances to control hair loss.
