Male Pattern Baldness | Causes of Male Pattern Baldness | Facts of Male Pattern Baldness

Male Pattern Baldness

Male pattern baldness causes about 90% of all hair loss for men. The result is either a receding hairline or thinning hair at the top of the crown of the head.

Facts of Male Pattern Baldness :

• Right now, nearly 40 million men in North America are experiencing male pattern baldness.
• Atleast half of all men will experience some type of hair loss by age 50.
• After age 50 years, the number of men experiencing male pattern baldness climbs significantly and hair loss is progressive.

Causes of Males Pattern Baldness

Male pattern baldness is caused by a chemical called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT builds up around hair follicles, thinning hair and ultimately stopping hair growth.Eventually the follicle shuts down altogether, stopping hair growth completely.

Your resistance to DHT is basically genetic. If you have relatives on either side of your family who are balding or have thinning hair, there's a pretty good chance you'll experience the same thing, at some point in your life.

Tips for Hair Loss Prevention

Most people think about preventing hair loss only after they have lost a lot of it. But if you start early (like when you still have a head full of hair) it works out a lot easier both emotionally and financially. In fact, the truth is - preventing hair loss is a simpler process than treating hair loss.

Here are a few things you can do to prevent your hair from falling:

1. Follow a Healthy Lifestyle

Hair, like your skin and your nail, is often a barometer of general health. If you are healthy, your hair will probably look good. And if your hair is falling, it could be a sign of possible health problems.

So everything you do for good health also applies to hair: Eat fruits and vegetables (Vitamin B, Iron, Calcium and Zinc have especially been linked to healthy hair); always consume a protein-rich diet (hair is made of proteins), and drink adequate water.


2. Take care of your hair

Dirty hair is more likely to get infected and more likely to fall – so keep your hair clean. Buy good-quality shampoo and hair products (in the long run this is cheaper than treating hair that is already half gone). When you shampoo your hair, concentrate on the scalp and hair roots. When applying a conditioner or hair lotion, it is better to concentrate on the ends of your hair (which tend to dry out faster and are more vulnerable to the damage that comes from exposure).

Trimming you mane regularly helps your hair look and feel better. Besides, it’s also a long “bye-bye” to those annoying split ends!


3. Avoid things that are bad for your hair

This seems so obvious it should not need telling. But it apparently does need to be told again because many of us unknowingly adopt several unhealthy hair-practices:

Wearing styles that pull the hair tight (usually into braids or pony tails). Many women pull their hair so tight it actually comes out of its roots. If you change your hairstyle soon enough, your hair will recover. Otherwise, your hair might permanently stop growing from the areas it is pulled most from.
Any chemical treatments (even so-called ‘herbal’ ones) designed to drastically change the way your hair looks (styling, perming, straightening, hot-oil treatments, hot ironing).
Blow-drying your hair – this dries out the scalp and damages hair follicles. Allow your hair to air dry at least part of the time, or change the heat setting on your blower to the lowest.
Combing your hair or rough toweling when its wet – this will put out some hair strands from the roots and stretch and break others.


4. Home treatments for healthy hair

Make a paste of henna, curd, soaked and ground fenugreek, ground hibiscus flowers, ground gooseberries, and egg (all of them or any one) and apply it onto the hair and scalp for about an hour before shampooing. Done regularly, this will make your hair stronger and better-looking. But remember that henna is suitable only for dark colored hair because it tints hair red.
Wash the hair out with decoction of tea or a bit of lemon squeezed into the water in which you will bathe. (for dandruff).
Apply coconut or almond oil. If doing this daily does not appeal to you, apply the oil on the scalp overnight before shampooing, or apply a drop to the top of your head before you comb out your hair.

Never ever take your hair for granted. The adage “Prevention is better than cure” fully applies to your hair too. Remember, you will sorely miss those beautiful tresses if you let them go away!

How to Stop Hair Loss Naturally

 

Hair loss is a common problem affecting millions of people. Most sufferers opt for chemical or drug treatments to curb this problem.Other try to study how to stop hair loss naturally. While a majority of the drugs are available over the counter, some require a doctor’s prescription. Many of these products are indeed effective in reducing and stopping hair fall; but they are expensive and require continued use for seeing lasting results.

By choosing natural products, you can avoid such adverse side effects. Here we shall discuss how to stop hair fall naturally

Balanced Diet

 In many cases, the hair loss stems from an improper diet, lack of physical activity etc. Depending on the severity of your hair loss, a doctor will perform a blood test that can help determine the deficiencies causing the hair loss in the first place.

Doctors generally ask patients to incorporate the following items in the diet:

• Carrots-Not only are carrots good for the eyes; this vitamin-A rich root is also excellent for the hair.
• Prunes-These are packed with iron and can help improve the quality of the hair.
• Oats- Oats are rich in fiber and also have a high concentration of zinc, iron, and omega-6 fatty acids. All these are essential for good skin and also promote hair growth and development.
• Sea food-There is no doubt that fatty fish like salmon and other sea food including shrimp etc are packed with loads of Vitamin B12, iron, zinc etc. All these can provide you with nourishment necessary to prevent hair fall.
• Walnuts- These are rich in all the B-vitamins as well as iron, zinc etc. People often suffer from hair fall when they are selenium deficient and walnuts can help overcome this deficiency.

Hot oil treatment for the scalp

Other major reasons for hair loss are underlying problems of the scalp region. These include dryness, flaking, dandruff etc. In many countries like China and India, ancient scriptures have stressed the use of natural oils for massaging the scalp on a weekly basis.

Oil massages can help overcome dryness and, with regular use, many patients have seen improved hair texture as well as reduced hair fall. Here are the steps to be followed for hot oil scalp treatment:

•     Start by warming the oil of your choice; it should not be exceedingly hot-just warm and within your comfort zone.
•     Using a cotton ball, or your fingers, massage the oil all over the scalp. This can help stimulate blood circulation and keep the hair follicles active.
•     Now, take a towel and dip it in hot water. Squeeze out the excess water and wrap your hair in the same. Alternatively, you can simply cover your head with a shower cap; doing this will help the scalp absorb the oils.
•     After a few hours, wash off your hair using a mild shampoo.
•     Repeat the treatment every once a week.

Natural herbs

There are many naturally occurring ingredients like Saw Palmetto which give the same benefits that you get from drugs like Minoxidil.

Saw palmetto is known to block its production and was, in fact, first used by Native American Indians for maintaining healthy hair and skin.

Another herb that is very popular in staving off baldness and promoting hair re-growth is Nettle root. Nettle can also block production of the hair loss causing hormones and works in a similar manner to Saw palmetto.


Meditation for Stress Control

Often, the thought of hair loss itself is enough to cause worry and anxiety; this, in turn, leads to more hair loss. Many doctors prescribe meditation and yoga for overcoming such stress. Studies have shown that meditation can actually restore hormonal balance in our bodies. This can not only help prevent hair loss but also has advantages in other aspects of life.

It is often better to use natural products to stop hair fall, rather than opting for expensive drugs and chemicals that may not always show results.

Hair Loss in Men and Women

Hair Loss in Men and Women : The most common form of hair loss is a condition called androgenetic alopecia. This type of hair loss can affect both men and women.

Normal Hair cycle
The reason for hair loss is the most debated topic around the world for many decades.
Causes of Baldness:
     Androg genetic Alopecia is commonly known as Male Patterned Baldness. The 3 main reasons for baldness are heredity, hormones and time.
Heredity:
Genes play an important role in the establishment of baldness. A person must have the inherited tendency to go bald early and hormones play a vital role. Normal hair fall per day is 50 to 100
Approximately 150 genes influence the character of baldness. So, the pattern of inheritance may vary. For ex: Within the same family, even though the parents are bald, the children may never go bald but the grand children may be affected.
MALE PATTERN BALDNESS or ANDROGENETIC ALOPESIA is a gradual balding of the scalp which occurs commonly in men, occasionly in women also. The gradual transformation of terminal hair follicles to smaller vellous ones with a much shorter growth period occurs in well defined patterns and is believed to require both ANDROGENS and GENETIC tendency.
No permanent treatment is currently available for Androgenic alopesia except for corrective hair transplants.
It is non scarring alopesia and results from genetically determined end organ sensitivity to Androgens.
Change in the Terminal to Velous hair ratio from 6:1-8:1 to 4:1 or less will be seen.
There is interaction of several Genes with Environmental factors. Usually 25% of men aged 25-30 yrs, 50% of men aged 50 yrs are affected by MPB.
HEREDITY—Inheritance may be MATERNAL, PATERNAL or both, but the penetrance of genes may vary.
So it is POLYGENIC inheritance with VARIABLE PENETRANCE.
Genetically no definite treatment is available till now.
HAIR LOSS INDEX ,PROFILE AND SEVERITY SCALE.
It was specially designed to describe an individual patients hair distribution and density. PROFILE is a graphic display of the loss in each 10 zones. INDEX is score for the cumulative loss in all 10 zones.
Surface map is a 3 view graphic scalp with 10 zones that corresponds to sequence of MPHL[NORWOOD].
Hair loss severity is visual ratio of hair to skin. It has 6 categories.

Causes of Hair Loss in Men

Although there are several causes of hair loss, male pattern baldness (also referred to as androgenetic alopecia or hereditary hair loss) accounts for about 95% of hair loss in men. It is usually triggered by a combination of hormonal activity and heredity, which together cause the hair follicles in your scalp to shrink. Over time, the progressive shrinking of certain scalp follicles leads to a shortening of the hair's growing cycle. Hair becomes thinner and shorter, until there is no growth of hair.

What is Hair Transplant?

Hair transplantation is a surgical technique that moves individual hair follicles from a part of the body called the 'donor site' to bald or balding part of the body known as the 'recipient site'. It is primarily used to treat male pattern baldness. In this condition, grafts containing hair follicles that are genetically resistant to balding are transplanted to bald scalp. It is also used to restore eyelashes, eyebrows, beard hair, chest hair, and pubic hair and to fill in scars caused by accidents or surgery such as face-lifts and previous hair transplants.

Androgenic alopecia is extremely common; 30 to 50% of men suffer from varying degrees of this condition. In recent times the frequency of androgenic alopecia has increased and the age profile of sufferers has become younger. Women can also suffer from this condition (see pic.) . The reason for the condition is the deleterious effect of the male hormone testosterone on hair roots (follicles) located on the forehead and the top of the head. Under the influence of male hormones (androgens), androgen-sensitive follicles atrophy and are re-absorbed by the body. Although the hormonal background mentioned above is characteristic for every male, only those who are genetically predisposed to baldness will lose hair.

Male pattern baldness - Norwood classification

Currently, there are only two drugs approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of pattern hair loss – Minoxidil (Rogaine) – for topical use and Finesteride (Propecia, Proscar) – for per oral use. But, denoted drugs are not always effective; furthermore, they are displayed only in case of patients who have a persisting hair. These drugs might be considered as specific drugs for hair loss stoppage and not for hair regrow in bald areas.

This is why medical treatment of androgenic alopecia is not always successful; hair cannot grow without the follicles, and the follicles have atrophied and been re-absorbed. By comparison, the restoration of lost hair in bald areas by drug treatment is equally as impossible as growing hair on one's palms.

But at the same time, with androgenic alopecia there is always a certain amount of hair left in the nape of the neck and on the temples. The reason for this is that hair follicles in these areas do not have receptors sensitive to testosterone, thus they remain resistant to the factors which cause hair loss.

Hair grafting means the transplanting of healthy follicles from the back and sides of the head into the bald areas. These follicles retain their anatomical and physiological properties for almost the entire life of the individual. This is proven by the fact that bald men almost always have hair remaining in the nape of the neck and the temples. So, hair transplantation means the relocating of follicles from one site (where there are plenty) to another (where there are no longer any follicles). Following transplantation, these follicles continue to function normally and grow healthily.

History of hair transplantation takes roots from 1939 and is related to the name of Japanese physician S. Okuda. He used to transplant round-shaped (4 mm in diameter) skin islets (grafts) from occipital area of the head to treat scalp burns. The grafts continued to produce hair in their new location. But during II World War his works were forgotten, until American dermatologist N. Orentreich “rediscovered” hair grafting in 1952. He established the concept of “donor dominant” which stated that transplanted hair roots (follicles) function at any location just as they would at their initial “donor” location. This means that hair produced after transplantation has exactly same anatomical and physiological properties, as hair at donor location (back of the head) and therefore, will never fall out. The problem was though, that hair produced from 4-mm (so called large) grafts would grow in brush-like pattern (“tooth-brush”, “doll’s-head” effect). To correct this cosmetically unacceptable result, American surgeon E. Marrit attempted to transplant hair not in the form of skin islets, but as individual hair roots (follicles). Later, transplanting hair in the form of thinnest grafts (0.8-1 mm in diameter) was named micrografting.

In 1995-2000 American hair transplant surgeons R. Bernstein and W. Rassman have developed the Concept of Follicular Units Transplantation. According to this concept hair is transplanted in the form of follicular units, exactly as in its natural occurring. Follicular unit is morpho-functional unit of the scalp that contains one, two, four hairs (hair roots, follicles). Transplantation of follicular units creates impression of maximal naturalness, minimizes follicular loss during the operation and is considered “gold standard” of hair transplantation today. But this method requires complicated techniques of harvesting donor material, dissecting donor material under special stereomicroscopes by 5-10 experienced assistants which is extremely time-consuming and expensive process.

Today there is no doubt that replacing hair lost by androgenic alopecia is possible only through grafting. Some companies produce artificial or synthetic hair (microfilament) that are of limited use for transplantation. The reason is that artificial hair does not grow, causes bothersome itching, has many complications (chronic inflammation processes of the skin, formation of pus, scarring) and finally - falls out. Considering above mentioned, our centre does not practice transplantation of synthetic hair. We only transplant hair in the form of follicular units.

Thus, hair grafting is not transplantation of hair filaments, but of those micro organs (follicles) that produce hair. The only way to solve this problem is the timely redistribution of genetically healthy hair roots (follicles) by transplantation of one's own hair.
