The primary explanation for baldness, according to recent research is the androgenic hormone known as DHT. Usually this hormone provides a series of necessary roles in male development, but when the level of DHT is increased, it operates by binding to the hair follicles thus preventing them from getting the nutrients needed from blood flow. In turn, the width of the hair shaft determines the hair width so that when the follicles become smaller, the hair becomes thinner. Eventually the shaft becomes so small that no hair is able to grow at all.

However, the solution to the problem of hair loss is thankfully rather simple by decreasing the level of dihydrotestosterone in the body you can usually prevent loss of hair or reverse it even if it has already begun. There are some well known prescription drugs available on the market already. Finasteride also known as Propecia works to reduce the level of DHT interrupting hair loss. Unortunately, these drugs are also widely known to have some very unpleasant and rather nasty side effects such as gynecomastia (growth of breasts in males) as well as erectile dysfunction among the users of finasteride. It should also be noted that these prescription drugs effectively is not universally agreed upon or accepted.

An easier all around solution to the problem of baldness is to medicate with natural treatments. The best news with this is that the all natural solutions approaches work in the exact same way as the synthetic approach of using prescription drugs by blocking the DHT hormone and stopping it from attaching to the hair follicles. Still, since they contain only natural ingredients, you will be happy to hear that they do not have any side effects associated with the synthetic chemicals. This makes natural hair loss treat a most appealing alternative to the risky alternative of prescription drugs.
