Fight Back Against Hair Loss With These Natural Tricks

Hair loss is a huge problem for men of all ages.

In fact, 60% of men would rather have more hair than money or friends.

You might even be in your 20s or 30s and already beginning to notice the onset of hair loss. Or maybe one of your close friends has already gone completely bald.

The fact is, even if your grandpa had hair until he was 100 it doesn’t mean you will too. Every guy has to think about this and take steps in reversing it as soon as possible.

But why does hair loss plague men significantly more than women? And what can you do to fight back against it?

Stick around and we’ll reveal the root cause of hair loss as well as some natural steps you can take to try and reverse it.

And for those of you who are beginning to lose your hair, don’t feel so down. We reveal a pretty shocking statistic at the bottom of the article revealing how many women are actually attracted to bald men.

Why Do Men Lose More Hair Than Women?

If you’re in your 20s or 30s and are already seeing some hair loss, don’t feel too bad about it. You’re not alone, as over 58% of men aged 30 experience some degree of hair thinning.

But why do men get the short end of the follicle when it comes to hair loss?

Well, you can thank all the Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a derivative of testosterone, for your androgenetic alopecia (the most common form of hair loss in men).

DHT is produced when testosterone is converted by the enzyme 5-alpha reductase. While it's crucial for male development, its adverse impact on hair follicles is significant, especially in genetically predisposed individuals.

DHT actually binds to receptors in hair follicles, particularly in the scalp's front and crown. This leads to the miniaturization of the follicles, shortening the hair's growth phase and resulting in thinner hair.

As to why some men go bald and others do not, it’s really attributed to your overall sensitivity to DHT. One guy could have way higher levels of DHT but not lose any hair, for example, because his DHT sensitivity is much lower.

Hair loss prevention medications like finasteride, which inhibits the 5-alpha reductase enzyme, will reduce DHT production and actually slow hair loss and encouraging regrowth in many men.

Women produce DHT as well, but their significantly lower testosterone levels generally result in a lower incidence of DHT-driven hair loss. In their case, the sensitivity doesn’t matter as much because of how much lower their DHT levels are.

Is Hair Loss Reversible?

When it comes to androgenetic alopecia, which affects more than 80% of men by the age of 50, reversal can be challenging but not impossible, especially if addressed early.

You’ll have a better shot at reversing it if you start addressing it early. A study published in the Dermatologic Surgery journal states that treatments are more effective when started at the first signs of hair thinning.

Here are a few natural ways which may help reverse hair loss without having to buy an expensive drug or treatment:

Natural Tricks To Help Save Your Hair

Don’t discount your diet. What you eat plays a significant role in hair health.

Diets rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals are essential for maintaining healthy hair. Nutrients like biotin, iron, vitamin E, and omega-3 fatty acids have been found to be particularly beneficial.

Stress management is also crucial in combating hair loss. A study in the Archives of Dermatological Research found that high stress levels can contribute to telogen effluvium, a condition where hair prematurely enters the shedding phase.

Regular exercise will also improve overall circulation, including to the scalp, and improved blood flow can stimulate hair follicles, potentially enhancing hair growth.

Herbal treatments, such as ginseng, saw palmetto, and green tea, have anecdotal evidence supporting their role in hair health. Numerous studies have actually shown how these herbs may actually reduce the impact of DHT, the hormone responsible for most cases of hair loss in men.

The BMM Takeaway

But the real question is…“Do women like bald men?”

According to a survey of 1,000 women conducted by Skull Shaver, the overwhelming majority of women gave positive answers when asked about their level of attraction to bald men.

87.5% of women of different ages and nationalities answered they find bald men attractive, compared to only 12.5% of women, who gave negative answers.

So if you’re one of the guys who’s dad is completely bald, grandfather is/was completely bald, and now you’re completely bald…the hard truth is that no amount of ginseng or proper diet will likely bring back your hair. But at least most women actually find it attractive!

If you’re starting to thin out a bit though, then make sure to do everything in this article as soon as possible (with the consultation of a doctor) to start the reversal process sooner than later.

All in all, no matter the amount of hair you have, just remember, a LOT of women find guys attractive NOT because of how they look. In fact, most women find that things like intelligence, humor, responsibility, and kindness are more attractive than anything else.

So if your hair has already left the building…just be yourself, rock your look, grow a badass goatee, and learn a few jokes. You’ll be alright.
