Even though no studies have shown a relationship between pattern baldness and various scalp conditions such as dandruff, seborrhea, and psoriasis you may find treating those maladies can be just the answer to curbing your hair loss. The reason why is that particular ingredients utilized in some of these scalp treatments can inhibit the production of DHT. This DHT being largely responsible for thinning hair in men and women.

    These ingredients accomplish this reduction in hair fallout and promote hair regrowth in two ways. First by reducing the amount of cholesterol various enzymes necessary for the production of DHT are removed from the scalp. Secondly some of the ingredients utilized can irritate the hair follicles into further production. Don’t be alarmed though if you see some initial increase in hair loss because many of these products contain strong cleansers. These keratolyic agents which loosen the scales common to dandruff, seborrhea, and psoriasis may also may loosen hair follicles in the telogen phase. Quite the opposite of what you may think this type of hair loss may quicken the growth phase of the next hair follicle.

    Interestingly the premature plucking of hair will increase the growth rate and thickness of hair but we definitely don’t suggest doing so. Hair plucking can lead to serious nervous tics and psychological problems.
