Natural Tips To Prevent Male Pattern Baldness

By Kumutha

About 70% of men suffer from male pattern baldness, also known as Androgenetic Alopecia. Losing hair is a normal part of aging, but when your hair starts thinning as early as the late twenties, you cannot help, but be worried.

So, what causes male pattern baldness? One main culprit is bad genetics. Inherited sensitivity to dihydrotestosterone (a hormone that decides the strength of your hair), a byproduct of testosterones, can cause hair to thin, recede and finally leave bald patches.

Other causes can be nutrient deficiency, underlying medical issues or thyroid problem. And before you pop those highly commercialized hair growth pills, stop and ask yourself if the ingredients mentioned are safe.

Go for pills that are FDA approved, and as much as possible, stick to natural ingredients that are free of toxins. Listed here are some natural tips that can slow down, if not reverse, the signs of male pattern baldness.
