To understand how herbal hair loss products work you must first
understand the causes of male hair loss. The majority of male hair loss
is caused by a build up of dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is actually a
by product of the hormone testosterone.
Once DHT levels reach a high enough level in the scalp hair can
become fine and coarse. If left untreated, the hair will become
increasingly fine and is prone to fall out in greater and greater
volumes. This increased hair loss is referred to as androgenetic
alopecia, or male pattern baldness.
There are herbal treatments currently available that naturally block
DHT production, and some even do so without effecting testosterone
levels. Once an herbal supplement begins to block the production of DHT
the body begins to filter out excess levels of the hormone. If the
levels of DHT in the body can be decreased hair loss can be effectively
stopped.
