Male Hair Loss

What Is Male Hair Loss?

As a man, losing hair or balding can be a very upsetting part of life. Unfortunately, what makes this even more difficult is the taboo attached to discussing hair loss in men & women openly.

It’s normal to lose around 50-100 hairs per day however if you’re losing more than that, this may be the result of male pattern balding or male hair loss. With over 50% of men over 50 and 25% of men under 30 facing hair loss or balding, it’s important to know you’re not alone.

Male pattern balding (androgenic alopecia) is genetic, triggered by the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) weakening the hair follicles and stopping hair growth. This usually begins in your 20s and increases with age. Although this condition can’t be reversed, there is plenty you can do to improve the health of your hair and scalp.

Hair loss is usually the result of lifestyle factors. Unlike male pattern balding, hair loss due to lifestyle is often improved with some simple lifestyle changes and support from natural supplements. There are a range of reasons that affect hair health. Mental health, poor gut health, nutrient-lacking diet, smoking and heat hair styling can all have a negative impact on the condition of your hair.

Making small, easy changes to reduce stress, improve sleep and eat a diet rich in nutrients will have a positive impact on your hair health. For more information on the different types of male hair loss and how to treat them, read our blog on Going bald – what every man needs to know.

How Can Supplements Reduce Male Hair Loss?

One of the main drivers in male hair loss is stress. You may be feeling stressed about work, family or financial commitments. When you’re stressed, your body produces the hormone cortisol which disrupts the natural function of your hair follicles, weakens the hair and contributes to hair shedding. Often as people begin to notice signs of hair loss, they then become more stressed which doesn’t help the condition. 

Ginkgo Biloba B+ works to improve the condition of hair follicles and encourage hair growth.

Alternatively, Biotin Brilliance is another natural supplement to tackle male hair loss. Expertly formulated with essential nutrients, such as a vitamin B complex containing biotin, which will thoroughly nourish the scalp, hair follicles and promote new hair growth.

If you have a particular scalp issue, such as dryness and find yourself scratching, then this can cause dandruff and damage hair follicles. SkinQuencher contains concentrated amounts of vitamin C and marine-derived collagen to nurture your scalp and hair follicles back to good health.
