Natural Remedy for Male Pattern Baldness

April 5, 2009

The most common pattern to male pattern baldness is the receding hair line.  This may be aggravated by a general thinning of hair at the top eventually leaving a horseshoe pattern of hair coming from one temple to the other going around the back of the head. With many studies conducted on the subject, there is now a natural remedy to male pattern baldness.

Hair loss is a normal daily occurrence.  The average life of a strand of hair is around five years before falling off.  If you are asking why is it that all adults are not skinhead or bald is because the hair that falls off naturally grows back.  In some instances, especially with men, the hair strands that fall off are not replaced by new ones,  if the rate at which your hair is growing is not as fast as your falling hair, then, naturally, your hair will eventually thin.  Men who are at a still young age of 20 to 45 years who experience a permanent hair loss may be having male pattern baldness.

The main cause of male pattern baldness is due to the presence of dihydrotestosterone in the body.  DHT is always present in the body together with the other hormone testosterone.  The primary function of these two hormones is for the secondary sex characteristics of the male.  Unfortunately, DHT in the body increases to counter the effects of estrogen, and this brings adverse effects.  Male pattern baldness is one of the negative effects of having too much DHT in the body.  Moreover, because of the primary function of the hormones, it has been recognized that this type of baldness is sex linked.

Start Nit Picking

Ok so the title of our previous blog post may have been a little mis-leading.

Time consuming as it is, combing for head lice needs to be undertaken meticulously. It is recommended that you comb for at least 30 minutes every four days for at least two weeks - up until the point where no live lice have been found for at least 3 consecutive combs.

Stop Nit-Picking

Parents dread the notice from school that warn parents to be extra vigilant due to some children in your child’s class having head lice. They dread it even more if it’s your child that actually caused the notice - unless you have my parents in which case they laughed.

The problem is once lice are in the air, even a clipper cut won’t get rid of them. A further problem is that if you only notice lice because of itching the chances are they have already been there for months.

To get rid of lice you have to get rid of the lice eggs that attach themselves to the hair shafts about 5mm from the scalp. Naughty Nits Shampoo is a very effective herbal formula that does this from the excellent Naughty Nits range. There is also a Naughty Nits spritzer and a hair oil to go with the shampoo and prevent the lice from coming back - even in epidemics. All of these formulas are 100% natural and safe which is why we recommend them.

There are obviously other natural remedies on the market to the job and, if you prefer, you could actually try using mayonnaise. Just shampoo the hair, rinse and then smother mayonnaise on. Put on a shower cap afterwards and by the next morning the lice should be dead. All that is left to do then is get the eggs out with a nit comb.
