When you’re experiencing the early signs of hair loss, it’s really important to use the right products to treat your hair. Our DHT-blocking shampoo can be used as part of an effective hair loss treatment plan, and we explain what it is and how to use it below.
Identifying male pattern hair loss
Acknowledging that you might be suffering from male pattern hair loss is undoubtedly stressful for any man. But it’s an affliction that affects millions of men in the United Kingdom, with as many as 7.4 million men losing their hair in the UK at any one time. You might start noticing some hair on your pillow when you hop out of bed in the morning or hair in the bathtub after your evening shower. While it’s perfectly normal to lose between 50-100 hairs per day, excess hair on the pillow or in the tub is an early sign of male pattern hair loss.
What’s more, if your hair loss begins at the temples or the crown, it indicates that you’re potentially suffering from male pattern hair loss. You can use the Norwood Scale to ascertain what stage your hair loss is at, which will help you decide on the best course of action to take. One of the easiest ways of taking positive action to combat male pattern hair loss is choosing the right products, as we explain below.
What is DHT-blocking shampoo?
Male pattern hair loss is caused by a genetic disposition to a growth hormone called DHT. When left untreated, DHT binds to the hair follicles on your head, which causes them to shrivel and die through a process known as miniaturisation. Stopping DHT from binding to your hair follicles is essential if you want to improve the growth of hair on your head.
Our DHT-blocking shampoo is formulated with saw palmetto, which is a natural DHT blocker. Regularly applying our shampoo can reduce levels of the growth hormone on your scalp and can helplimit the negative impact that DHT has. The shampoo also consists of argan oil, iron, and Vitamin B3 and is well suited to men who are experiencing mild hair loss. Simply add a small amount of shampoo to your hand and gently massage your scalp. Leave it in your hair for 60-90 seconds before rinsing your hair with warm water.
Other ways to treat male pattern hair loss
While DHT-blocking shampoo is likely to improve the health of the hair on your head, it might not be enough to treat male pattern hair loss alone. Our DHT-blocking shampoo is much more effective when used in conjunction with clinically-proven hair loss medications, including Finasteride and Minoxidil.
You can give yourself the best possible chance of treating male pattern hair loss with our Full Works treatment plan, which is a combination plan that is effective in 9.4 out of 10 men. It combines our saw-palmetto shampoo with Finasteride, Minoxidil, and Biotin and can help you achieve your hair growth goals.
