Hair Loss Treatment
As editor of www.no-hair-loss.com I spend a great deal of time talking about hair loss. I will use this blog to explain many of the causes and some of the best remedies.
Today let us start by talking about how hair loss is caused. In the vast majority of cases, hair loss is hereditary, passed down through the genes of your parents. A human body is programmed to produce an enzyme known as 5 alpha reductase. When the Androgen hormone in the scalp produces testosterone, which mixes with 5 alpha reductase, it produces Dehydrates or DHT.
Research has determined that male or female pattern baldness results from a series of changes caused by DHT to your hair follicles. DHT reduces the follicle size until it produces only a thin hair strand. Toxins, medications, substances and foods may also affect your hair follicles.
DHT and Free Radical DamageFree Radical Damage occurs when UV rays from the sun damage the scalp skin and degrades the structure and moisture content of hair. Free radical damage, which destroys skin tissue of the scalp, also occurs within the hair follicle when the very foods, medication, and other substances we ingest react with toxins in our bloodstream. Our body’s natural metabolism for utilizing the foods we eat even causes some free radical production. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals. Use of them internally (Therapy-G vitamins) and applying them topically (through Therapy-G antioxidant shampoo, follicle stimulator, conditioning and volumizing treatments) gives a 2-fold approach to minimizing the activity of free radicals.
