subject: You Can Stall Thinning Hair In Men Caused by Male Pattern Baldness But You Must Take Action Early [print this page] Author: Author: . Hawkins" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/rob-d.-hawkins/230073.htm">Rob D. Hawkins
Each morning when you look in the mirror are you starting to notice that your hair is not as full as it used to be? Perhaps there is a tiny bald spot starting to form on the crown, or maybe a slight receding hair line is beginning to emerge? A first you think it may not be much to worry about, but your passive attitude starts to change as hair loss continues to get worse. You can take some comfort in knowing that this type of thinning hair in men is very common, affecting an estimated 40 million men in America alone. The likely culprit behind your case of thinning hair in men is a hereditary, androgen driven hormone (DHT), condition commonly known as male pattern baldness/balding. The name in some ways is slightly misleading since the initial stages have more to do with thinning, along with a receding hair line than balding. Nevertheless, the condition is progressive and over time will likely result in the typical M shaped pattern with severe hair loss on the top of the head. I know what you are feeling, after all I am one of those 40 million myself. But what makes me slightly different from many of the others is that I was able to recognize hair thinning in men as male pattern baldness early, took action almost immediately, and thus far have been able to successfully stave off the ravages of this condition. For me the answer was a combinations of herbs, including saw palmetto and nettle root taken orally, vitamin B12 supplementation, along with topical minoxidil applied twice daily. The good news is that it is possible to halt or slow thinning hair in men causes by male pattern baldness. The bad news is once treatment is stopped all new growth will be lost, and balding will resume. For many of us this is an unacceptable outcome for others they may reach a point where the hassles and expense of keeping your hair simply become too much. At this point most men just shave their heads and are done with it. In summary, there are answers for thinning hair in men but they come with a price, and must be adopted before balding becomes too severe. Scientific research estimates that a combination of topical minoxidil and herbal oral supplements will slow male pattern baldness in nine out ten cases but will only restore lost hair in about 3 out ten cases. What Next? There are currently a handful of hair re-growth products specially formulated for hair thinning in men caused by male pattern baldness which have been proven effective both in blocking harmful hormones and bringing the all important dead hair follicles back to life. These specially formulated treatments can be used both as a preventative tool, starting before hair loss becomes severe, or after loss of hair has become noticeable. Whatever the level of balding or thinning you are experiencing these products could be just what is needed to overcome this latest life challenge.About the Author:
