Hair regrowth shampoos are an alternative treatment to drugs and chemical formulas used for hair loss. Since some hair loss sufferers who use FDA approved formulas experience unwanted side effects, there are many reputable companies that offer hair restore products and treatments that are based on plant and herbal extracts. When choosing these products you are looking for those that inhibit the production of DHT on your scalp. Now, why is DHT so important to know about?
During hormonal changes in the body, both men and women are prone to experience some form of hair loss. The male hormone testosterone, which is present in males, and females to a lesser degree, combines with an enzyme called 5 alpha reductase to produce DHT, clinically called Dihydrotestosterone. DHT adversely affects another hormone called androgen, which is known to play an important role in the growth of human hair, and this commonly results in hair loss.
Hair is grown through hair follicles in the scalp. As in all parts of the body, these hair follicles are nourished through capillaries filled with vitamins, minerals and proteins the follicles need to produce healthy hair. DHT inhibits the delivery of nourishment to the hair follicles and clogs the pores. In this condition, the hair follicle reduces its production of hair growth and re-growth. Eventually, the follicle may shut down altogether and the hair shaft will fall out completely. Without proper nourishment the hair follicle may die and not be able to restore itself to produce new hair. Read the rest of this entry »
