Statistics show baldness as extremely common. The odds are you will know a few people who are affected by hair loss. But what are the things you should look for to prevent further balding?
There are many hair conditioning products on the market targeted for males. This is due to the high level of men who have damaged hair which results in hair loss. Consider using a conditioning product daily to care for your hair by replenishing lost nutrients that are needed to keep hair healthy.
Doing simple things to change your lifestyle can do a lot to prevent hair loss. If you follow nutritionist’s advice to begin with, it can make all of the difference. Having a balanced diet and eating everything in moderation allows you to get all of the vitamins and minerals you need to make sure that your hair follicles get all of the nutrients you need.
Being bald is a distinguishing characteristic. In memory tests conducted by scientists, people surveyed were shown to have better memory of the facial features of bald men than those who had hair. The experiment concluded that having no hair made you more memorable.
Unfortunately, there are two factors that are responsible for male baldness: environmental factors and genetic factors. Environmental factors can be prevented, but if you are likely to lose hair for hereditary reasons, your steps can be limited. Don’t despair, there are things you can do to slow down the process of balding.
It is believed that one of the key causes of male baldness is the sex hormone DHT, a hormone that is triple the potency of testosterone. The effect that DHT has on baldness has not been established. DHT is an influential sex hormone which also controls facial hair, body hair and the prostrate.
Hair driers can have a detrimental effect to the quantity of your hair. Hair loss experts believe that using hair driers to manufacturer’s specifications can cause you no harm. All the same, using hair driers intensively by having the drier too close or being exposed to the heat for long periods of time can result in damage.
One of the prime advantages to baldness is clear: the money saved on hair products. Money spent on gels, combs and sprays is now money that can be spent on the more enjoyable things in life. Savings from the lack of a need to purchase such items could run into three figures per annum.
Wearing tightly fitted hats and caps can increase the rate of hair loss. The worst that such headgear could do is damage hair follicles and the fact that hair follicles are replaced frequently in the hair replication cycle eliminates this worry. One piece of advice is to wash hats frequently, as dead cells found in unwashed hats can result in an unclean scalp, culminating in infection and resultant hair loss.
One of the most notable disadvantages is that there is no natural insulation in the form of hair when it is needed in the winter months. Many bald men find themselves wearing warming hats to keep warm during the colder periods of the year and also to prevent rain, as there is no hair for absorbency.
