The simple facts of hair loss...*
Both men and women...
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a derivative of the male
hormone testosterone, is the enemy of hair follicles on your
head. Simply put, under certain conditions DHT wants those
follicles dead. The hormonal process of testosterone converting
to DHT, which then harms hair follicles, happens in both men and
women.
Androgenetic Alopecia or common male
pattern baldness (MPB) accounts for more than 95% of hair loss
in men. By the age of thirty-five two-thirds of American men
will experience some degree of appreciable hair loss and by the
age of 50 approximately 85% of men have significantly thinning
hair.
Mistakenly thought to be a strictly
male disease, women actually make up forty percent of American
hair loss sufferers. Hair loss in women can be absolutely
devastating for the sufferer's self image and emotional well
being.

Common hair
loss myths... Your hair follicles aren't
blocked, malnourished or suffering from poor
circulation. They're dying from DHT. This is what causes hair
loss. Anything that will stop hair loss, cure baldness or regrow
hair must block DHT or overpower its effects. This can only
occur at the molecular level inside your body.
Don't get scammed...
On July 7, 1989 the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
announced its ban on fraudulent hair growth products. This ban
is in effect today, yet fraudulent hair growth products are
everywhere. These products promise to grow hair by unblocking
your follicles, nourishing your scalp or increasing your
circulation. Save your money.
Propecia and Rogaine...
The FDA is there to protect you. To date they have
approved only two hair growth drugs (Propecia and Rogaine). FDA
requires hardcore evidence. It's not enough to make claims.
Controlled clinical trials are the minimum standard to prove
that a product actually grows hair.
Hair restoration surgery...
In the last 10 years, tremendous advancements have been
made in hair restoration surgery (hair transplants). If you can
afford it, surgery today can give you a naturally growing head
of hair. Do your homework first. The right surgeon and procedure
are everything. Be sure to learn all about follicular unit hair
transplantation.
