what is alopecia?

According to science, hair loss has both genetic and hormonal causes. Androgenetic alopecia or “male pattern hair loss” is implicated in 95% of hair loss cases in men. And the one responsible is a hormone byproduct called dihydrotestostrone or DHT. The more DHT that gets put into your body, the more your hair follicles become thinner and finer until the hair is permanently lost.

The solution? Block DHT. And that’s what hair loss treatments do. A family member of mine (I won’t say who, you might tease him of his hair loss problem, hehe) has used the brand Provillus in the past with excellent results. His hair above his neck base grew back and never fell in clumps again. Lucky for him! So if you have alopecia, don’t hesistate to consult your doctor for the best treatment.
