Why Do Men Lose Hair?
It's not caused by wearing a hat too much!
Baldness in both men and women is caused by a single chemical called DHT, which is a byproduct of the hormone testosterone. Too much DHT inhibits the cells of your hair follicles from receiving necessary nutrients. Your hair literally begins to starve to death.
When a hair follicle starts down this road, you may notice texture changes and brittleness. Then the hair shaft begins to shrink, reducing in length and diameter until it seems to disappear. It is at this point that laser hair therapy can be very effective. Laser hair therapy stimulates growth in undernourished follicles, while also reducing the effects of DHT.
The last stage of hair loss occurs when the follicle goes completely dormant and stays that way; no hair will grow from that follicle again. Because of DHT's connection with testosterone, men are very susceptible to hair loss.
