Nioxin For Men

Our grandfathers aren't the only ones battling thinning hair. One out of four men have noticeably thin-looking hair. That's some 32.5 million men. You're definitely not alone. And, addressing this problem can be challenging. In fact, choosing the right solution can mean the difference between helplessness and hope. And its no different for Women's hair loss.

The first thing to do is to get the facts about thinning hair. If you have any health-related concerns contact your doctor as soon as possible. We've provided information to help shed light on your hair woes and some suggestions on ways to put you on the path to achieving stronger, thicker, healthier-looking hair.

The Life Cycle of Your Hair

First, you should understand that the maturation of a hair happens in three cycles.

The Anagen Cycle, or that phase in which the hair is actually growing; The Catagen Cycle, or the intermediate phase of hair growth when the lower two-thirds of the hair follicle is destroyed and the Telogen Cycle, or that phase when hair growth is resting.

At any given time, about 85 to 90 percent of your scalp hair is in the anagen or growing phase. Less than 1 percent is in the catagen phase. And, the remaining 13 percent of the scalp hair is in the telogen or resting phase.

Certain factors can rush the growing hair into the telogen phase prematurely, resulting in noticeably thin-looking hair and low hair density. Following the telogen phase, it takes about 3 weeks for the follicle to produce a new anagen hair.

Normal vs. Excessive Hair Shedding

Some loss or shedding of hair every day is normal. The average person has 150,000 to 200,000 hairs on their scalp. Blondes generally have the most number of hairs, followed by brunettes and then redheads. Conventional wisdom has indicated that the loss of 100 to 125 hairs a day is normal. However, recent research has shown that when cleansing daily, a loss of more than 50 hairs per day may be excessive for someone who has thin-looking hair.

While the subject of the causes for thinning hair is complex and multi-faceted, the effects are simple - thin-looking hair can mean you feel less confident and sometimes less attractive. But the world-renowned team of Nioxin researchers has identified the top six reasons why your hair might be thinning.
