Reasons Many Fail At Fighting Hair Loss (Part 1)

If I had a dollar for every person who has used some kind of commercial hair loss product and failed, I would be a very rich individual. So many people start to lose their hair and quickly grab whatever they believe is going to work for them.

This is the problem with a lot of hair loss sufferers. They jump right into trying to fix their hair problem before actually educating themselves on what their cause might be. I can tell you right now that everything you've probably heard about genetics and hair loss is probably not totally true.

Now of course genetics can play a certain role in whether you are one who loses hair or not. But it's not just because a close relative or someone in your immediate family went bald. It goes deeper than that.

There's a hormone called DHT that binds to your follicles and causes your hair to become very thin. Eventually if you don't take care of the situation, your entire head will soon become bald. It's a very scary thought, but it's true.

Now where genetics comes in is that everyone is genetically predetermined to have some amount of DHT that their bodies produce. Even those with hair have DHT present in their bodies, just not as much as those who are losing their hair.

While certain products like minoxidil and finasteride have been designed to help fight hair loss and DHT, they don't work for everyone. So for that reason you're going to have to take a different approach. For men they can take saw palmetto extract as a way to inhibit DHT.

Women shouldn't take this herb and it's best that they stick with something like green tea capsules. Since green tea contains compounds called catechins, they work to block DHT and further promote hair growth.
