Hair Loss Information

FOR MEN, hair loss is male pattern baldness. Yes, there are other types of hair loss, including rare conditions such as alopecia totalis and alopecia universalis, where the entire scalp and entire body, respectively, become completely bald due to a viral condition that is irreversible. There is also patch baldness, in which hair falls out in patches of the scalp. This is caused by stress or poor nutrition or adverse scalp conditions. But the hair will usually grow back once the cause has been rectified.

FOR WOMEN, hair loss is different. There is no set pattern for womens androgenic hair loss, which like MPB, occurs in the overwhelming majority of cases. Women can suffer from alopecia totalis and alopecia universalis just like men. Women can experience patch baldness for the same reasons as men (stress, poor nutrition, etc.), as well as due to hormonal changes from pregnancy and certain eating disorders. However, like men, the hair will generally grow back. The chief difference in womens androgenic hair loss from mens (both are hormone related) is that women tend to experience thinning that occurs in no particular pattern or part of the scalp. Unlike men, the scalp may not actually be totally denuded of hair, just thin to the point where the scalp is visible. Like men, however, the resulting hair loss is generally irreversible.

FOR BOTH MEN AND WOMEN, the cause of androgenic hair loss is, as its name implies, hormone related. It stems from a genetic predisposition for a by-product of the male hormone testosterone (yes, women have testosterone in their bodies, too), called DiHydroTestosterone (DHT) to reside in the scalp. All hair follicles grow through a growth-dormant-regrowth cycle. When DHT is present in the scalp at high levels, the hair follicles tend to increase their time of dormancy and decrease the time for growth. In actuality, the follicle atrophies due to the excess DHT. Each follicle produces hair for shorter periods and “rests” for longer periods, until it finally goes into permanent dormancy and ceases to produce hair. An interesting phenomenon is that in men, the DHT only seems to affect the hair follicles on top of the scalp. While DHT is present in the entire scalp, the hair follicles that reside on the sides and back of the head resist its deleterious effects. When hair from the sides and back of the head are transplanted to the top of a bald scalp, the same DHT that caused the original hair follicles to atrophy now has no effect on the transplanted follicles.
