Male Hair Loss And Treatment

Snake Oil For Male Hair Loss


I recently read an article from one of my favorite medical websites focusing on male hair loss and treatment when without warning they referred to the natural hair re-growth products that have helped me keep most of my hair for the last 10 years as nothing more than “snake oils.” Wow, I didn’t know I was putting snake oil on my hair. Maybe that explains why my wife is starting to look at me a little differently these days. Furthermore, I better start searching for my receipts so I can take advantage of that full satisfaction refund policy because I sure wasn’t told about “snake oil” as an ingredient.
I wonder if the category of products in question would still be considered all natural?

Male Hair Loss And Treatment

I will be the first to tell you that slowing the progression of male hair loss is not easy and does require a healthy dose of determination along with some financial commitment. It is also true that successful treatment of hair loss is greatly dependent on early recognition and treatment. It isn’t something that can be put off for very long and still expect to achieve respectable results short of hair transplant surgery.


What We Really Dealing With Male Hair Loss


When a man starts to notice thinning and/or balding the condition has likely been gradually building for 5 or more years and he likely has only about 70,000 out the initial 100,000 healthy hair follicles remaining active. The culprit is the harsh androgen hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which over time accumulates one follicle at a time eventually rendering each unable to participate in the hair replacement cycle.
When it comes to hair loss and treatment the trick to success rests on reducing the production and accumulation of DHT and reinvigorating damaged follicles. The chances are not very good you will be able to jump-start those follicles that are dead or severely damaged. While there is a small chance this group of follicles can be rejuvenated the end result will be fuzz. Not exactly what most men struggle with loss of hair are needing to improve the look and feel of their hair.
The truth is when it come to male hair loss and treatment there could be a case made that it is not necessarily which type of product you use (though some are better than others) but how early you begin treatment.
