Hair Loss Myths Debunked
A new study claims that the force of the downward pull caused by gravity on the scalp may contribute to the events leading to progressive hair loss in male pattern baldness. The researchers who conducted the study said that this finally explain the paradoxical effects of testosterone on androgenic alopecia (AGA). The new theorys unparallelled ability to explain even the details of the hair loss process and the formation of the pattern in AGA is apparent, said Dr Emin Tuncay Ustuner, a plastic surgeon in Ankara, Turkey. Ustuners Gravity Theory seeks to reconcile some puzzling observations related to the development and progression of AGA. Its believed that balding areas of the scalp show an increase in a form of testosterone called dihydrotestosteron (DHT). In the scalp, DHT seems to cause hair follicles to become thinner while in other areas of the body like the pubic region and underarms DHT and other male hormones promote thickening of the hair follicles.

12 natural ways to achieve amazing hair
Men seeking to treat their scalps can now select from a variety of “solutions” ranging from topical treatments and drugs, to transplants and, worryingly, wigs. And yet, for a fear that is so common, the actual science of hair loss remains shrouded in mystery, myth and patent misinformation. Many of us have been raised on the belief that washing your hair daily will speed up the shedding process or equally insane that standing on your head or having a cow lick on your scalp will jumpstart lazy follicles. The internet doesnt help either: The supposed cures for hair loss are often as questionable as the causes they cite. Part of this confusion is due to the sheer variety of things that can provoke hair loss and thinning. There are, of course, genetic factors to consider, but other culprits include reduced blood circulation and chronic inflammation around the hair bulb.
