Hair Loss Male
- Terms and Definitions
- Allopecia
Simply means “Hair Loss” and may be used with all types of hair loss. - DHT
This stands for Dihydrotestosterone, which has been shown to be the cause of many men’s hair loss. - Follicle
This is simply the root of the hair shaft (buried deep in the skin). Each scalp has approximately 100,000 follicles prior to losing them. - Hair Cell Cycle
Each follicle and hair grows, rests, and then falls out. All within a several year period, and starts all over again. - Pattern Hair Loss
This is just another name for the most common type of hair loss seen in both men and women. DHT (see above) is the culprit here. - Sebaceous Gland
Comes from the word “Sebum”, which comes from the Latin word for animal fat. It’s basically the oil gland, which each follicle and hair contain.
- Allopecia
- Diagnosis
Before determining any treatment or cure for hair loss, a clear diagnosis should be obtained. Too many people may be treating their hair loss without having a proper diagnosis. - Misconceptions
- Hair Loss from Maternal Side
Unfortunately, there are many misconceptions about hair loss, including the wrong notion that we have a genetic predisposition to losing hair, strictly from our mother’s side of the family. This is incorrect, as hair loss may be transmitted from both the father and mother’s side.
- Hair Loss from Maternal Side
- Hair Loss Treatment
- Wigs/Hairpiece
- Cover-ups
Another way to give the impression that one has more hair. These can be anything from simply coloring or tattooing the scalp, or adding a powdered form of synthetic hair fibers. - Medications
We have many medicines for hair loss. Depending upon the type of hair loss, a doctor may prescribe a medicine or recommend an over-the-counter medication. - Surgeries
