Hair Loss in Men

What is Male Pattern Baldness?

 

Male androgenetic alopecia or male pattern baldness could not possibly be the reason you are experiencing rapid hair loss - could it? While male androgenetic alopecia seems like something only others experience, your thinning hair and receding hairline may be a case of classic male pattern baldness - and here's why:

Hair loss is a common problem that men face. In fact, male pattern baldness is the most common type of hair loss in men. There are many different hair loss treatments available, but it can be difficult to determine which treatment is right for you. In this blog post, we will discuss the 18 best hair loss treatments for men in 2022. We will cover a variety of treatments, including alternative therapies, medical therapies, and surgical procedures. We hope that this blog post will help you find the right hair loss treatment for you!

Types of Alopecia

There are two types of alopecia:

- Androgenic alopecia

- Alopecia areata

Androgenic alopecia, also known as male pattern baldness, is the most common type of hair loss in men. It is characterized by a receding hairline and thinning hair on the crown of the head. Male pattern baldness is caused by a combination of genetic and hormonal factors.

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition that causes patchy hair loss on the scalp, face, and body. It affects both men and women equally. Alopecia areata is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

 

While male pattern baldness is the most common type of hair loss, it is important to remember that there are other types of alopecia that can affect both men and women.

Other Types of Hair Loss

Hair Pulling Disorder

Hair pulling disorder, also known as trichotillomania, is an impulse control disorder that causes people to pull out their own hair. Hair pulling disorder can cause bald spots on the scalp, eyebrows, and eyelashes. It can also cause thinning hair all over the head.

Decrease in Male Sex Hormones

Testosterone is one of the primary male sex hormones. Testosterone levels peak in early adulthood and then gradually decline with age. A decrease in testosterone levels can cause hair loss, particularly if there is a family history of hair loss.

Other male sex hormones that can influence hair loss are dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS).

Shrinking Hair Follicle

As we age, our hair follicle shrinks gradually. This process is called follicular miniaturization. Follicular miniaturization is a normal part of aging and is the main cause of thinning hair in men.

Hair Breakage

Hair breakage is a common problem that can cause hair loss. Hair breaks a variety of factors, including over-styling, heat damage, and chemical treatments.

3 Phases of Growth for the Hair

There are three phases of hair growth: the anagen phase, the catagen phase, and the telogen phase. Male pattern baldness can occur during any of these phases, but it is most likely to occur during the telogen phase.

Stages of Hair Loss in Men

Hair falls in stages. Male pattern hair loss can occur with anyone but generally follows these patterns: stage I, stage II, and stage III. In stage I hair loss, the hair follicles are in the anagen phase. In stage II hair loss, some of the hair follicles are in the catagen phase, while others are in the telogen phase. In stage III hair loss, all of the hair follicles are in the telogen phase.

Treatment for male pattern hair loss depends on the stage of hair loss. You can treat male pattern baldness in stage I and II with medical therapies or alternative therapies. Stage III male pattern hair loss can be treated with medical therapies, alternative therapies, or surgical procedures.

The *American Academy of Dermatology suggests running a proper hair analysis on balding men to determine how the hair loss occurs and if anything can be done to stop further hair loss. Dermatologists will test bald patches to see the health of the hair and measure hair density to determine if there are any hair diseases or whether it is just a temporary hair loss. They will also test the level of male sex hormones to see if hormone levels are responsible for the bald patches or hair disorders. They may prescribe medical treatments and can answer any questions you have about more intense hair restoration procedures such as hair transplants, implants, and low level laser therapy

Diagnosing hair loss and male pattern baldness. 

If your hairline gradually moves backward , male pattern baldness is the most likely cause. If you have a family member who's experienced male pattern baldness, your chances of getting it are greater. Doctors can diagnose male pattern baldness by examining your hair and scalp for signs of hair loss. They may also order blood tests to rule out other possible causes of hair loss such as thyroid disease, zinc deficiency, and others.

Which Lack of Vitamin Causes Hair Fall?

Having a diet rich in essential vitamins and minerals slows hair loss. There are many different vitamins that are important for hair health in the fight against male pattern baldness, but one of the most important is vitamin D. Vitamin D is essential for hair follicle growth. A lack of vitamin D can lead to hair loss.

You can get vitamin D from a variety of sources, including sunlight, food, and supplements. If you are not getting enough vitamin D, you may need to take a supplement.

 

Selenium, Zinc, Iron, & Iodine are likewise important in supporting hair health in male pattern baldness. A lack of these vitamins can lead to further hair loss. We will discuss how the diet plays a critical role in male pattern baldness later on in this article.

Can I Regrow Hair Follicles?

Hair follicles can shrink due to a variety of reasons such as aging, hormones, stress, certain medications, and more. The thing about male pattern baldness and really just androgenetic alopecia in general is that once the hair follicle physically shrinks, it cannot grow back to its original size. The best option is prevention to avoid male pattern baldness in the first place and that is why a lifestyle that supports habits which stimulate hair growth in the first place are the best way to prevent male pattern baldness. However, if you have male pattern baldness or a receding hairline, don't worry - there are treatments that can help slow hair loss and even promote new healthy scalp hairs.

 

PRP therapy is one example of a treatment that can help stimulate hair growth and prevent hair loss. PRP therapy uses a person's own blood injected into the scalp as a hair loss treatment. The platelets in the blood are rich in growth factors and can help to promote the growth of new hair follicles.

PRP therapy is a relatively new treatment and more research is needed to determine its long-term efficacy on hair loss. We will learn more about other medical and surgical treatments further on in this passage. 

How Can I Stop my Hair Loss?

Which hair loss treatment can help stop hair loss? The best hair loss treatment for you will depend on the cause of your hair loss. Let's take a look at some of the most common hair loss treatments:

Alternative Remedies

There are a variety of alternative remedies that have been researched to help with hair loss. These remedies may not always be backed by scientific evidence but they have been helpful for a number of people and you may find them helpful for your hair loss.

Some common alternative remedies for hair loss include:

Scalp Massage

Scalp massage can help to increase blood flow to the scalp and prevent hair loss. The way to massage your scalp is to apply gentle pressure with your fingertips on areas of your head that are experiencing hair loss and hair thinning and move your fingertips in a circular motion. You can do this for about five minutes a day.

Essential Oils

Essential oils such as lavender oil, rosemary oil, and cedarwood oil have been shown to help stimulate hair growth and prevent further hair loss. A recent study found that peppermint oil was effective in increasing hair growth in mice and this has been shown to implicate the same such results would be possible for those suffering from female pattern hair loss (female androgenetic alopecia), male pattern hair loss, (androgenetic alopecia), and general male baldness. 

To use essential oils for male pattern hair loss, you can add a few drops of the oil to a carrier oil such as jojoba oil or coconut oil and massage it into your scalp. A great product for this which we will discuss in detail later on is called the Extreme Hair Strengthening Oil by CRISAN which contains 55 different essential oils and carrier oils that are formulated for hair health, hair growth, and prevention of male pattern hair loss. You can apply this method and/or the CRISAN Extreme Hair Strengthening Oil product once or twice a day.

Aloe Vera

Aloe vera has been used for centuries to treat a variety of skin conditions. Aloe vera is known to be anti-inflammatory, which can help with scalp conditions that may be contributing to hair thinning or male pattern hair loss. Aloe vera is also known to prevent hair loss in men by nourishing the scalp with blood flow stimulating ingredients at the base of the hair follicle where hair loss occurs. 

To use aloe vera for hair loss, you can apply the gel from the aloe plant directly to your scalp or receding hairline. You can also find aloe vera products that contain other hair-healthy ingredients such as biotin, which we will discuss later on.

Herbs

There are a variety of herbs that have been traditionally used to treat male pattern hair loss. These herbs can be taken orally in the form of supplements or teas, or they can be applied topically to the scalp.

Some common herbs for hair loss include:

Saw Palmetto

Saw palmetto is an herb that has been traditionally used to treat male pattern hair loss. Saw palmetto is thought to block DHT, which is a hormone that contributes to male pattern baldness. 

To use saw palmetto where hair loss occurs, you can take saw palmetto supplements or apply the extract from the herb directly to your scalp.

Green Tea

Green tea is rich in antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory properties, both of which may help with hair loss. Green tea is also thought to block DHT which is a major hair loss culprit.

You can drink green tea regularly if your religious beliefs allow or you can apply a green tea mask topically to your scalp where hair loss occurs. 

Ginseng

Ginseng is an herb that has been traditionally used in Chinese medicine to treat a variety of conditions, including androgenetic alopecia or hair loss. Ginseng is thought to prevent hair loss by stimulating blood flow to the scalp beneath the hair follicle.

You can take ginseng supplements or apply a ginseng product to your scalp. 

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves the insertion of needles into specific points on the body. Acupuncture is thought to prevent hair loss by stimulating blood flow to the area beneath the hair follicle know as the dermal papillae in the scalp. 

You can find an acupuncturist in your area to help with your hair loss or if you're feeling brave enough, you can purchase an at-home acupuncture kit for your male pattern hair loss.

Ayurveda Hair Loss Treatments

Hair loss can be addressed by ancient India Medicinal Treatments known as Ayurveda. Ayurveda is a traditional system of medicine from India that uses a variety of techniques to treat different conditions, including hair loss. Ayurvedic treatments for hair loss typically involve the use of herbs, spices, plants and oils.

You can find a hair loss Ayurvedic practitioner in your area or you can purchase Ayurvedic hair loss products such as any of the CRISAN Extreme Hair Strengthening Products for use at home.

 

These are just some of the many alternative remedies for hair loss that are available. It is important to remember that these hair loss remedies may not be backed by scientific evidence but they have been helpful for some people so you may find them helpful as well. If you are interested in trying any of these hair loss remedies, be sure to speak with your doctor first to make sure they are safe for you

Organic Ingredients

Can Men Take Biotin?

Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin that is part of the B-vitamin family. It plays an important role in cell growth, the metabolism of fats and amino acids, and the synthesis of DNA. 

Biotin can be found in a variety of foods, including eggs, milk, meat, nuts, seeds, legumes, and whole grains. Here are some specific foods that contain biotin:

-Eggs

-Milk

-Meat

-Nuts

-Seeds

-Legumes

-Whole grains

Does Biotin Regrow Hair?

B vitamins are essential for hair because they help the body to produce keratin, which is the protein that makes up hair. Biotin deficiencies have been linked to hair loss, so including biotin-rich foods in your diet is important for maintaining hair health.

Vitamin C Rich Foods

Vitamin C is an important nutrient for growth because it helps the body to produce collagen, which is a protein that gives structure to hair. Vitamin C also plays a role in the absorption of iron, which is essential for healthy hair growth. 

Good sources of vitamin C include citrus fruits, tomatoes, bell peppers, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts.

Foods that are Rich in Omega-three Fatty Acids

Omega-three fatty acids are important for hair health because they help to keep the scalp healthy. These fats also play a role in the production of hormones that are necessary for hair growth. 

Good sources of omega-three fatty acids include fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines, as well as flaxseeds, chia seeds, and walnuts.

Iron-Rich Foods

Iron is an essential mineral for hair growth because it helps to transport oxygen to the cells that produce hair. Without enough iron, hair follicles can become starved of oxygen and begin to die, which leads to hair loss. 

Good sources of iron include red meat, poultry, beans, lentils, spinach, and fortified cereals. 

Foods Rich in Zinc

Zinc is an important mineral for hair growth because it helps the body to produce keratin, which is the protein that makes up hair. Zinc also plays a role in cell division and wound healing, both of which are necessary for healthy growth. 

Good sources of zinc include meat, poultry, seafood, nuts, seeds, and legumes. 

Protein-Rich Foods

Protein is an essential nutrient for hair growth because hair is made up of proteins. Eating enough protein-rich foods helps to ensure that your body has the building blocks it needs to produce new hair. Good sources of protein include meat, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy, beans, lentils, and nuts.

Selenium-Rich Foods

Selenium is an important mineral for hair growth because it helps to protect the cells that produce hair from damage. Selenium also plays a role in the production of thyroid hormones, which are necessary for growth. 

Good sources of selenium include meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and Brazil nuts. 

Growth Promoting Foods that Contain Iodine

Iodine is an important mineral for hair growth because it helps to produce thyroid hormones, which are necessary for growth. 

Good sources of iodine include dairy, eggs, fish, and seaweed. 

Growth Promoting Foods that Contain Vitamin A

Vitamin A is an important vitamin for hair growth because it plays an important role in the production of sebum, which is an oily substance that helps to keep the scalp moisturized. 

Good sources of vitamin A include carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach, and fortified cereals. If you are concerned about your vitamin A levels, talk to your doctor about getting a blood test.

Hair Health Foods that Contain Vitamin D

Vitamin D is an important vitamin for hair growth because it helps to keep the scalp healthy. 

Good sources of vitamin D include eggs, fortified milk, fortified cereals, and fatty fish.

Hair Growth Foods that Contain Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an important vitamin for hair growth and you can find good sources of vitamin E in nuts, seeds, and vegetable oils. 

Growth Promoting Foods that Contain Collagen

Collagen is an important protein for hair follicle growth because it contains essential proteins. 

Good sources of collagen include bone broth, gelatin, and fish skin. Some manufacturers are currently trying to formulate viable sources of vegan collagen but as of this article, there are none available that provide the same type of support to hair follicles as the ones mentioned above. 

Hair Supplements That Can Help

If you are not getting enough of certain nutrients from your diet, you may want to consider taking supplements. Some common thinning hair supplements include biotin, iron, and omega-three fatty acids. Others such as the Complete Hair Essentials Vegan Daily Vitamins from CRISAN contribute more rare formulations to support minerals that are not otherwise easily available in the American diet. However, it is important to speak with a doctor before taking any supplements, as they can interact with any prescription medication you may be taking. 

Scalp Massage

Scalp massage is a good way to increase blood flow to the scalp, which slows hair loss. You can do this yourself at home or go to a salon for a professional scalp massage. If you've never given yourself a scalp massage before, don't worry. You can follow this tutorial which was created as an aromatherapy-type of massage to show you a few facial and head techniques.

Treating Hair Loss with the Inversion Method

The inversion method is a natural way to treat hair loss. It involves hanging upside down for three to five minutes each day. This increases blood flow to the scalp, which can slow hair loss. You can do this by hanging from a bar or using an inversion table. If you't have access to either of these things, you can also hang your head over the edge of a bed. What this does is encourage your hair follicles to stay in their growth phase for a longer period of time, which can promote hair regrowth.

If you are interested in trying the inversion method, it is important to speak with your doctor first, as this method is not suitable for everyone. 

Lifestyle Changes

When male baldness begins, it can be difficult to know how to react. Some men feel like they need to do something immediately, while others take a more wait-and-see approach. 

Making lifestyle changes is a good way to treat hair loss. This includes eating a healthy diet, getting enough exercise, and managing stress levels. These changes can help to improve overall health and well-being, which can in turn promote hair regrowth. 

Hair-Focused Balanced Diet

A hair-focused diet is one that contains all the nutrients needed for healthy hair. This includes proteins, essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. 

Some good foods to eat for a hair-focused diet include eggs, salmon, avocados, nuts, and seeds. You should also include plenty of fruits and vegetables in your diet. 

Eating a balanced diet is important for overall health and well-being. It can also help to improve the quality of your hair while your follicles remain alive - before hair loss begins. 

Reduce Stress Levels

Stress can contribute to hair loss. This is because when you're stressed, your body goes into fight-or-flight mode. This means that your body's energy is focused on survival rather than growth. 

To reduce stress levels, you can try different relaxation techniques such as yoga, meditation, and deep breathing. You can also try to get more sleep and exercise regularly. All of these things can help to improve overall health and well-being, which can in turn promote growth of hair. 

DHT Blockers

DHT is a hormone that contributes to hair loss. DHT blockers work by preventing this hormone from binding to hair follicles. This can help to slow hair loss and promote follicle production . 

Some common DHT blockers include finasteride and topical minoxidil. Finasteride is a prescription medication that is taken orally. Minoxidil is a topical solution that is applied to the scalp. Once you begin a regimen with topical minoxidil or finasteride, you will need to take these medications for life in order to maintain their efficacy. Side effects may also occur.

Both of these medications are available with a prescription from a doctor. It is important to speak with a doctor before taking any medication for hair loss, as they can interact with other medications you may be taking. 

Hair Implants

Hair implants are a surgical option for treating hair loss. This procedure involves taking hair from another area of the head and transplanted to the balding area. 

Hair implants are a permanent solution for hair loss. However, they are a major surgery with a long recovery time. They can also be quite expensive. 

If you're considering hair implants, it is important to speak with a doctor to see if this is the right option for you. 

Laser Treatment

Laser treatment is a newer option for treating hair loss. This procedure involves using low-level lasers to stimulate follicle growth. 

Laser treatment is a non-invasive procedure with no recovery time. It is also relatively affordable. 

If you're considering laser treatment, it is important to speak with a doctor to see if this is the right option for you. 

Stimulate hair regrowth with low level laser therapy

Low level lasers are used in a process called photo biostimulation to help stimulate growth. This therapy uses light energy to improve cellular metabolism and protein synthesis, which can lead to hair regrowth. 

Hair Powders

Hair powders are a temporary solution for hair loss. They work by filling in balding areas to give the appearance of fuller hair. 

Hair powders are available in different colors to match your natural hair color. They can be applied with a brush or comb and washed out with shampoo. 

If you're looking for a temporary solution for hair loss, hair powders may be right for you. 

Medication Options for Balding Men

Hair restoration may hinge on nutritional or similar disorders so if you're noticing patchy hair loss, sudden hair loss, or any number of other hair disorders, seeking the assistance of a medical professional may be the right option for your type of hair loss. 

Prescription Medication

-Tretinoin (brand names Retin-A, Avita, Renova) is a vitamin A derivative that helps the skin renew itself. It can help with hair loss due to androgenetic alopecia by promoting growth.

- Corticosteroids are a type of anti-inflammatory medication. They can be injected into the balding areas to help with hair loss due to androgentic alopecia.

Corticosteroid injections are typically done every four to eight weeks. They can cause side effects, such as skin thinning, acne, and changes in the color or texture of hair.

- Cyclosporine (brand name Sandimmune) is an immunosuppressive medication that is taken orally. It can help with hair loss due to androgentic alopecia by promoting growth.

Cyclosporine can cause side effects, such as kidney problems, high blood pressure, and an increased risk of infection. It is typically used for a short period of time and then washed off.

- Diphencyprone (brand name DPCP) is a topical immunotherapy medication that is applied to the balding areas. It can help with hair loss due to androgenetic alopecia by promoting growth.

Diphencyprone can cause side effects, such as skin irritation and inflammation. It is typically used for a short period of time and then washed off.

Over-the-Counter (OTC) Medication

- Minoxidil (brand name Rogaine) is a topical solution that is applied to the scalp. It can help with hair loss due to androgenetic alopecia by increasing hair growth.

- Anthralin (brand name Drithocreme) is a topical cream that is applied to the balding areas. It can help with hair loss due to androgenetic alopecia by increasing hair growth.

- Psoralen (brand name Oxsoralen) is a light-sensitizing medication that is taken orally or applied topically. It is said to help with hair loss due to androgenetic alopecia by promoting hair growth.

Surgical Options

A hair transplant is a surgical procedure to move hair from one area of the scalp to another. It is typically used for men who have male pattern baldness. 

During a hair transplant, a surgeon removes small pieces of hair from an area of the scalp that has good growth and transplants them into an area of the scalp that is balding.

After a hair transplant, it takes time for the transplanted hair to grow. The new hair may be thinner and lighter than the original hair.

A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that can have serious side effects, such as infection and scarring. It should be done by a qualified medical professional.

Different types of Hair Transplants for Men

Hair transplants are probably the most extreme method used for androgenetic alopecia to treat hair loss. Complications can occur which include rapid hair loss at the site of insertion, scalp infections, itchy scalp, and skin irritation. If you have male baldness/androgenetic alopecia and are considering hair transplantation for new hair,

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)

FUT is the most common type of hair transplant. These hair transplants consist of removing a strip of skin from the back of the head and taking hair follicles from it to be transplanted to the balding areas.

After FUT, you will have a linear scar at the back of your head. The scar can be hidden by your hair.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

Is a type of hair transplant that involves taking hair from another area of the head and transplanted to the balding area. This is a permanent solution for hair loss. However, it is a major surgery with a long recovery time. They can also be quite expensive.

What is the Most Effective Treatment for Hair Loss in Men?

The most effective treatment for hair loss in men is a combination of lifestyle changes, a balanced diet, and ayurvedic, medical or surgical treatment. Every man's situation is different, so it is important to speak with a doctor to determine the best course of treatment.

 

There are many different treatments when you lose hair, and the best one for you will depend on your individual situation. If you are concerned about hair loss, talk to your doctor about the best options for you.
