Although hair itself may appear simple, just think about the incredible number of combinations of hair on different parts of your own body. For example, your eyelashes are different from your eyebrows, and the hair on your arms is different from the hair on your head. It is this genetic code within each and every single hair follicle that determines each hair's individual color, maximum length, curl, shaft diameter, etc. It is also this genetic code that makes hair on different parts of your head react differently in the presence of certain hormones, even though these two types of hair start out 'looking exactly the same.' Are There Miracle Shampoos? The first thing someone usually tries is some sort of "miracle" thinning hair shampoo, or rub on thinning hair solution. More than 3.5 billion dollars each year is spent on these baldness "tonics" that claim to regrow hair. Most every time, the promises of the thinning hair product and the expectations of the user are never met. And the thinning hair keeps getting worse. Despite claims and thinning hair product advertisements you hear, the only substances ever proven to regrow hair and approved by the FDA are Minoxidil, marketed as Rogaine, and Finasteride, marketed as Propecia. What DHT Does To Your Hair! Through four years of rigorous scientific studies, it has been shown to re-grow natural hair in 2 out of 3 men, and actually stop thinning hair in 5 out of 6 men. On a technical level, Propecia works by decreasing the formation of DHT from testosterone by blocking a certain enzyme in the body. By decreasing the amount of DHT, affected follicles that were producing thin wispy hair, tend to 'bounce back' producing a thicker caliber, more pigmented, longer hair. It tends to be this effect that eventually gives men that are thinning in the crown, visible coverage. It should be noted that it could take 6-12 months before results are noticed with the Propecia treatment. |
