How to Fight the Male Hair Loss

The moment you know that you suffer from male hair loss, then the three best options before you could be enduring it or hiding it or treating it.


Enduring Male Hair Loss

What ever may be the cause for male hair loss, you can take consolation in the fact that almost half of the men’s population in the world is bald and you are not alone.

Further when you think the baldness as an alluring symbol, then also you are not alone as many famous personalities are either bald or deliberately have shaven their heads to sport a bald look.

Romans, who are known for their charisma, are in fact mostly bald.Again the perception differs from person to person. All men do not take male hair loss as a tragedy.

Many of the sexiest men such as Sean Connery, or Bruce Willis, or Lou Gossett, Jr., or Patrick Stewart are all bald and had they brooded over their bald situation probably they would have never reached the charismatic position they enjoy today.

The next best thing you can do in case of male hair loss is to shave off whatever the little hair left out over your head and sport a quite sexy bald look.

How to Hide Male Hair Loss

There are many ways and means to hide the male hair loss when one is not willing to consider balding as an attractive option. What ever may be the style of hair-do, baldness is still sexy over any hair-do.

It is quite natural to hide male hair loss and people in high positions may not like to get their heads exposed in the public. You can have a variety of head covers and wigs to camouflage your hair loss.

Many powerful men like Julius Caesar and Napoleon Bonaparte were believed to be wearing comb-overs to show off their power.

Treatment Methods of Male Hair Loss

Many men just do not compromise on their hair loss and strive to beat male hair loss at any cost.

Majority of the male hair loss is due to male pattern baldness, which is generally referred as androgenic alopecia.

The hair loss under this category is caused by the presence of DHT (dihydrotestosterone) that make the hair follicles die and cause hair fall.

In men DHT is produced when the 5-alfa-reductase enzyme reacts with the male hormone testosterone.

Further, one school of thought establishes that men who are active in their sex life have more testosterone in their blood and that lead to baldness. Hence, bald men are considered very sexy.

However when the men have some genetic resistance to the effects of DHT, such men will not suffer from hair loss.Both the resistance and vulnerability is inherited and you can go either bald or not depending upon your parents’ genes.

Hence, male hair loss treatment aims at reducing the presence of this DHT in one’s blood with the use DHT blockers.

The best DHT blockers that you can have over the counter is Rogaine and the prescribed one is Propecia, both are very effective drugs in preventing hair loss.

Rogaine comes in cream form for topical application and Propecia comes in pill form for oral intake.

Both Propecia and Rogaine are considered as effective treatments for male hair loss and they effectively block DHT in your blood.

Further in the case of Avodart medicine used for treating prostate gland enlargement, the medicine is also known to enhance hair growth by effectively containing DHT production in blood.

Under the herbal category, Saw palmetto has the property of blocking DHT and hence prescribed for male hair loss. It is available in almost all the drug stores and food stores and can be purchased over the counter.

The greatest disadvantage of these male hair loss medicines is that the same has to be used for the rest of your life, lest you will again lose hair the moment you stop using them.

However, the best time tested remedy for your male hair loss could be the surgical hair transplant, but the cost involved will be very high.

In surgical hair transplant, your own natural hair from back of your head will be removed and replanted in the front portion so as to have an even spread of hair throughout your head.

Whether your choice is to endure or to hide or to treat your male hair loss, you should take a well-informed decision and continue to sport a healthy head, be it bald or with full of hair.
