Many of us are experiencing thinning hair, widow's peaks, and total male pattern baldness.
And most of us would really like to turn back the clock and get our hair back.
Men's thinning hair is an issue that fortunately has a variety of solutions, from transplantation to plugs, drugs to natural remedies.
So what's the answer that makes the most sense? Men's thinning hair can benefit from a surgical solution, but at great expense.
Plugs look unnatural and transplants can seriously break the bank.
Depending on your level of hair loss, transplants cost between $4000 and $20,000! If you've got that kind of money to spend, it certainly is a good option.
However, when you look at the basic anatomy of androgenic alopecia, better known as male pattern baldness, you will understand that a combination of far less expensive treatments can really do the trick.

- Men's thinning hair happens as a result of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) buildup in the body.
DHT is created by excess testosterone. - DHT binds to hair follicles, which prevents the follicles from extracting ample nutrients from the bloodstream.
The hair follicles become dramatically thinner, and the hair follows suit.
Eventually, we go bald. - Only two men's thinning hair treatments are FDA Approved to assist us in solving our hair loss problem: minoxidil (Rogaine, Provillus) and finasteride (Propecia, Proscar).
- Minoxidil was initially designed as a blood pressure medication.
It is believed that its vessel-dilating properties work to restore nutrient flow to the hair follicles. - Finasteride keeps the enzymes that turn testosterone into DHT from performing that function.
This gives it the title DHT blocker. - While finasteride has proven itself highly effective as a men's thinning hair treatment, it also comes with a host of scary side effects, including nipple discharge, testicular pain, lumps, erectile dysfunction, mouth swelling, and difficulty breathing, among others.
- A worthy, all natural substitute for finasteride is saw palmetto, a DHT blocker believed to carry on the exact same function as finasteride, but without the side effects.
- Taking an all-natural DHT blocker like saw palmetto, as well as applying a topical 5% minoxidil solution is an extremely effective way to achieve your desired ultimate result...
a full head of hair!
