Baldness in men

Baldness in men is not always inevitable. Understand what is happening in your scalp to better stop the fall. Here are how to prevent balding in men

1 / All losers
Some hair clinging to the teeth of the comb are not always the sign of the beginning of the end.  Albin Michel, the hair expert says it is normal to lose sixty to ninety hairs a day. "Do not worry about it since already living a new hair is being formed in the hair follicle," he reassures, specifying a hair can live up to seven years and with twenty to twenty to five cycles during a lifetime. But then, in men, testosterone disrupts this beautiful cycle from the twenties.

2 / The clear gulfs
Between 20 and 30 years, your hair becomes sparse on the forehead, the gulfs and the back of the skull. Involved, the sensitivity of follicles to androgens, these male sex hormones (including testosterone) which, paradoxically, stimulate masculine characteristics. In case of genetic predisposition, too receptive follicles to androgens will regress, because of poor circulation. Solution: Minoxidil lotion to increase follicular blood flow. But beware, this is a lifelong treatment.

3 / Blame it on Mother Nature
Even if your father looks like Kojak is the mother's side to look for the culprit of your baldness. A joint study by the universities of Bonn and Düsseldorf is concluded that a genetic baldness, androgenetic alopecia, is largely inherited from the maternal genes. If you are not there yet, go take a look at family photos whether you are at risk, and start prevention before having to consider implants.

4 / Do not try to remove hair
Stress causes a loss of vitamins, minerals and proteins that nourish your follicles. In the wake, cortisol is secreted in abundance by the adrenal gland, and androgens, precipitating the fall. so avoid stress.

5 / All is not lost
To 30 years, the dark side of baldness hits hard with its weapon, DHT, a byproduct of testosterone that stimulates hair and your hair terrace. Hair experts can prescribe hormone therapy that stops the conversion of testosterone into DHT, without limiting hair growth, on the contrary. Very effective between 18 and 35, according to experts.
