Have you ever gone through hair falling? No trust me, this is not one of the advertising articles that you come across while searching for some useful data. Many of you have bought expensive medicines, lotions and even might have thought about hair transplant but at the end you only got tired right? Some medicines and lotions would have worked but temporarily till you didn't stop drugging your bloodstream with those OTC or prescription drugs or made your bald area highlighted by shining it out with a lotion(Sarcastic :P). Some of you would have thought why it happens to you when you take care of yourself much more than who don't suffer from the same problems. Today, I'll tell you many scientific facts that would give answers to most of your questions.
There's a man named Jarred Gates. Famous for his hair rebuild program. Well I didn't really want to buy the program so I conducted the research myself. You may find some points not so convincing and that is because:
Hair industry is a multi-million dollar industry. If by any chance it crashes due to any reason. The economy of many countries would go down by huge percentages. Therefore, such information is prevented to be made public.
I found the causes of the problems and reverse-engineered them to lead me to solutions.
Science behind your hairs:
Hairs are made from Bio-Keratin material (Same material nails are made of), which is a derived protein. Thus, the protein intake plays a key role in Bio-Keratin formation.
Knowing 5-alpha reductase (5-αR):
It and testosterone both are the hormones that are present in every human body may it be male or female. 5-alpha reductase is the only chemical that converts testosterone to DHT (Dihydro-testosterone).Testosterone ------------(In presence of 5-αR)------------->Dihydro-testosterone (DHT)
What Dihydrotestosterone does?
DHT surrounds the inner lining of hair follicles and lead to following consequences:- Hair thinning: DHT resists the hairs to gain the nutrition from the follicle lining due to which hairs are not able to get enough nutrition to make them like everyone expects them to be.
- Damage to Hair Follicles: Due to DHT, hair follicles also endure the damage. From each follicle man hairs grow out. If it suffers damage then number of hairs growing out of the follicles may reduce. So as to compensate for the low energy it can supply to sustain a healthy living for hairs and thus the hair density decreases.
- Baldness When the hair follicles have taken enough damage that they can no longer supply energy to keep a single hair standing the hair follicle becomes dead and the era of baldness starts in the individual's life.
Why it happens only to some not all?
The answer is purely genetic. Conversion of testosterone to DHT in large amounts is a consequence of hormonal imbalance. Hormonal changes in every human being happen in different way but some may inherit it from their predecessors. This is the only reason why some people including hair specialists refer baldness as "Hereditary Problem", but in reality you always remain unknown from the other side of the coin. Hormonal changes are inherited baldness is a choice of lifestyle. That's the reason all males do not end up with DHT levels up.
ANSWER UNFOLDED: When medications relating to problem are taken, they temporarily slow down or stop the conversion of 5-αR to DHT. But as soon as they are stopped, the reaction starts again and you then stand from where you started.

Knowing Your Hairs:
- When baldness or hair thinning occurs on head. Hairs on the other body parts may thicken so as to compensate for the loss.
- 90% hairs always remain in growing stage that means they keep on growing and rest 10% are those few hairs which do not grow and undergo regeneration of their hair follicle from the derived nutrition.
- If enough nutrition is not provided then either the hair follicle do not regenerate completely or more hairs would come in rest stage to provide nutrition. Let's take an example: If 20 hairs are in rest stage and there are 4 hair follicles to be regenerated but there is nutrition for regeneration of only 3 hair follicle then 5 more hairs would come to rest stage to provide the remaining 1 follicle the nutrition to regenerate.
- If proper protein intake is not done, then the resting stage me occur prematurely and disproportionately.
How to tackle DHT:
- Avoid animal fats: Any type of animal fat, may it be dairy product, eggs or meat when digested by body leads to hormonal imbalance which leads to more of the 5-αR-DHT conversion. Only animal fat should be avoided animal protein would not lead to same results.
- Keeping diet purely balanced: Having the balanced diet of all type of nutrition namely, Carbohydrates, Fats, Proteins, Vitamins and Minerals would help a lot. This would ensure not only proper intake of protein for hairs but also keep the hormonal changes to stable state since the sugar and glycogen levels will rise up and down in a stable manner.
- Eat enough Protein:Recommended daily protein intake for an adult is 1g/Kg weight of body. For example, a person weighing 70 KG need to take approx. 70 grams of protein daily. Since it's the only component of food that is neither stored nor produced by the body. Therefore, it makes protein intake more crucial.
- <Avoid Masturbation: How ridiculous the idea may sound but masturbation increases the level of testosterone disproportionately to that of dopamine in brain. Which again leads to hormonal imbalance. Having sex is no problem because it elevates testosterone and dopamine levels proportionately (Unless you're a sex addict).
PS:Many points in the article are not verified by scientific resources. But there are no side effects to solutions given. Instead they'll help you to have a healthy lifestyle. So they're worth a try.
