subject: Those Terrible Balding Signs and How to Reverse Them Before It's Too Late [print this page] Have you come to hate looking into the mirror because you can no longer deny the telltale balding signs you see in front of you every day? That's good, because it means you are no longer in denial. You can go on combing your hair in different ways and pretending it's not happening or you can continue reading and learn how you can reverse hair loss with a simple treatment. If you are losing your hair, you are not alone. In fact, if you are a man, you are among tens of millions in the United States who are losing their hair through male pattern baldness. While your case may be more or less severe than others, you still can do something about it, so why not start sooner than later? Believe it or not, women too experience loss of hair. For women, the symptoms come later in life and usually show themselves as thinning hair rather than the absence of hair in large areas of the head. Nevertheless, it is a cause of terrible anxiety and embarrassment to see it happening. Fortunately, both men and women can reverse this process. Before we can understand how it works, we need to understand a little bit about the causes of baldness. It is passed down genetically, but that's only part of the story. The actual cause in men is a hormone that goes by the name of dihydrotestostrone or DHT. What DHT does is attach to the receptors of the hair follicles and steadily builds up until they can no longer produce hair. First developed and used as a medication to treat high blood pressure, a chemical compound called Minoxidil was discovered to have a remarkable side effect - it reversed baldness! Originally, Minoxidil was taken orally, but further studies showed that it could be used in a targeted manner to treat male pattern baldness. Minoxidil also works equally well on women, though the cause of female hair thinning is not the same as men's. This is because it does not work by neutralizing DHT, but by other chemical means. The FDA did not approve Minoxidil for use as a hair loss treatment until after it underwent rigorous studies and proved its efficacy and safety. Now it is possible to get a hair regrowth treatment with this as its active ingredient without a prescription. Instead of seeing balding signs every time you look into the mirror, you will see more hair appearing!
