How Can Men Prevent Hair Loss?

All treatments for male pattern baldness, whether prescribed medications or natural treatments, either target DHT to prevent hair loss and/or stimulate growth of your existing hair follicles.

Targeting DHT: Since DHT is the primary hormone responsible for hair loss in men, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to determine that the best way to prevent hair loss is by targeting or blocking DHT. “DHT blockers” block the action of 5 alpha-reductase enzyme from converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone, thereby reducing DHT levels.

Promote hair growth: Ingredients that facilitate the flow of blood to hair follicles and scalp deliver more oxygen and nutrients to hair follicles, promoting hair growth. These ingredients increase the growth phase cycle, shorten the resting phase, and increase the blood flow to the hair follicle. These ingredients have no effect on the hormonal process of hair loss. Additionally, to maintain existing hair mass, it is important to treat with ingredients that strengthen and protect existing hair follicles and mass.

The bottom line is that the earlier you start to block DHT and introduce ingredients that promote hair growth, the more successful you’ll be in preventing further hair loss.
