What causes hair loss?

Male Pattern Baldness (MPB) is a genetic trait. It’s called Androgenetic Alopecia. It’s inherited from your family. If the men in your family are showing a bald spot on the crown, it’s likely you will too.

This is an issue men have been dealing with for centuries. According to legend, Julius Caesar invented the laurel leaf wreath to cover his receding hairline.

Too bad Julius didn’t have access to Provillus in the days of the Roman Empire.

MPB results from genetic traits, and hormonal causes. Provillus can’t change your genetic history, but it can help with the hormonal causes.

DHT is the hormone involved in hair loss

DHT (dihydrotestostrone) is derived from androgen, a male hormone. As the androgen circulates through the bloodstream, it is converted to DHT by the enzyme, 5-alpha reductase. DHT tends to bind to hair follicle receptors,
causing the follicles to sprout thinner and thinner hairs until nothing regrows, and the follicles eventually wither away.

The life cycle of normal hair growth

Normally, hair has three phases of growth:

  • Anagen – The growth phase, lasts for two to six years. Usually 90% of the hair is in growth phase.
  • Catagen -- A transient phase lasting a few weeks. The hair becomes thinner and the follicle starts shrinking.
  • Telogen – The thinned hairs fall off to make way for new hair. This lasts for two to four months.

When excess DHT is in the bloodstream, it shortens the Anagen, or growth phase, and causes premature shrinkage of the follicles. Because the DHT is bound to the follicle, often the hair will not re-grow normally.


Provillus helps block DHT from strangling your hair follicles.

Minoxidil, the ingredient clinically proven, and approved by the FDA for re-growing your hair, inhibits DHT. This powerful active ingredient works in your hair follicles.

The Best Hair Loss Treatment For Women

By Evelyn McClaren


When we talk about hair loss in women it may be a very reserved and almost 'taboo' topic as baldness and hair loss are most frequently connected with men. This is not to say that women might suffer from hair loss only that it isn't looked at as an element that women typically experience and for that reason it's a subject that should be treated with the utmost delicacy and privacy. There are some very effective hair loss treatment for women solutions available on the market though which will alleviate a lot of the concern related to this disorder.

Female hair loss treatment typically entails a first consultation with a specialist hair replacement consultant who is able to speak with the consumer in complete privacy to talk about their condition and alleviate any fears some might have about thinning hair or hair replacement therapy. This consultation comes about in a quiet, relaxing environment in which the client can feel confident to talk about their circumstances.

Secondly after the client is satisfied to proceed with hair replacement, a handcrafted hair piece is crafted to take into consideration the individual's natural hair density, colour and growth patterns. This will then be fitted at a following appointment and the client will be surprised about the general look that this hair loss treatment for women can supply.

Many clients believe that non-surgical hair replacement provides them back the confidence they started to lose when their hair began receding. Many find that their self-esteem has a significant knock and so they might not want to venture out and about as much as they previously had. With a new hair piece looking as natural as if it were their natural hair, they will soon wish to be going out and showing off their proud new look.

Female hair loss treatment is becoming more and more fashionable as women realise that they do not have to suffer this delicate and embarassing condition and that quite effective solutions are easy to come by and do not cost the earth.
