What Causes Premature Male Hair Loss?

Posted: Nov 19, 2009 |Comments: 0 |

It's a common probably men prematurely begin to lose their hair in a variety of ways. Possibly on the crown, around the temples or all over. No matter what type of hair loss your experiencing chances are it's being caused by the same hormonal sensitivity. This article will explain what causes hair loss in men and how you can attempt to treat it.

They're Just Sensitive

When we talk about hair loss it's not the actual hair that is the problem. It's actually the hair follicle, where the hair grows from, on the scalp. There's a natural hormone that occurs in the male body known as DHT (dihydrotestosterone). It's derived from testosterone so all men have some level of DHT in their bodies.


Hair loss happens because of a sensitivity to the hormonal activity that occurs on the scalp when DHT interacts with your hair follicles. DHT attaches itself to your hair follicles which causes them to shrink, eventually to a point where no more hair can grow. The process doesn't happen over night so you do have a chance to stop and reverse hair loss.

It's not your Fault

It's both fortunate and unfortunate that it's not your fault you have a sensitivity to DHT. The problem is hereditary not due to lifestyle choices. So you can rest easy knowing it's not the month straight you wore a ball cap in college that is causing you to lose your hair now.

There is some truth to your parents or grand parents losing their hair. If they had a sensitivity to DHT then it's possible you could too.

You can stop It

The first step to stopping premature hair loss is recognizing that it's happening. If you notice excess hair on your pillow in the morning or excessive amounts of hair in the drain of your bathtub or sink it's possible you're beginning to lose your hair.

The sooner you take action to stop the DHT sensitivity on your scalp the better chances you have of regrowing thicker fuller hair and not going bald prematurely.
