We get bombarded by advertisements all the time promising to help us solve our thinning hair problem fast.
You've no doubt witnessed all kinds of television programs and I'm sure you've noticed many ads all across the web promoting some type of hair loss product.
Who can you believe? No one really, especially when you've tried many of these products and they have failed time and time again.
That's why I wanted to clear up a few things that I discovered that I know you can truly benefit from knowing.
This is especially true if you're still trying to regrow some hair right now.
Let's consider a few mysteries to hair loss that most are totally confused about.
Hair Loss Is Based Upon Your Genetic Makeup Have you heard this before? Probably a gazillion times just like I have.
Well the facts are in and the answer to that question is "not always so".
Yes your father or mother may carry a few gene traits that reflect the loss of hair, but it doesn't always guarantee you the same problem.
Genetically especially in males, it's the amount of DHT hormone that runs in the mother's father family line that often times influences hair loss in her offspring.
So if your mother's father was bald, it is a safe bet that you may just have a problem with hair loss.
But it goes deeper than that and you can see why in the next section.
DHT Is The Biggest Thinning Hair Culprit While genetics can play a role in whether you lose hair or not, it doesn't play as big of a part as DHT.
Haven't heard of this hormone yet? It's produced from excess testosterone in the body and then it goes on to bind to healthy hair follicle cells until they die.
Controlling this hormone is a must and you can do it without the added expense of a hair loss treatment.
Taking herbal supplements like saw palmetto, nettle root and even green tea works against DHT.
