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.

Losing Your Hair? Ways to Cope

By Elena Lopes


Men's hair loss is a major problem for a lot of men who are of certain ages. Lots of men spend hours staring into the mirror and trying to figure out if their hair is thinning or not. Other men don't need to think about it, because it is obvious they are seeing more scalp every day. When it comes to coping with hair loss, there are many options. This article will discuss some of the options readily available to you. It will also discuss things you should not do if you find that you are going bald.

Provillus is one of the more popular ways to deal with losing your hair. This is a medication that helps you combat hair loss. This medication claims to help your scalp continue growing hair and to restart hair growth in areas that it has stopped. However, Provillus has not been approved by the FDA.

Wear your hair in a short hairstyle. It is counter intuitive to grow your hair long when you notice that you are starting to thin out on top. Longer hair draws more attention to the fact that you are losing your hair. Shorter hairstyles require less time to maintain. When dealing with hair loss, the shorter hair will looks better. Another bonus to a shorter haircut is that it can actually help hide your hair loss.

A hair comb over is one thing you should never consider even trying. The comb over is rather deplorable. This may sound rude, but think about all the balding men you knew when you were growing up. Didn't every last one of them look ridiculous when they attempted to do the comb over. There is no way you can fool someone into thinking that when you comb your hair over from one side of your head to the other that it is all natural hair growth. Doing this is more detrimental than picking out a hideous wig. Besides, all you need is for your comb-over to get caught in the wind, which will mess it up completely and make you look like a moron.

Men's hair loss can be a difficult subject to deal with. It is not easy to see the men in your life have to cope with the thought of losing their hair. It is much harder to face the reality of your own hair loss. Favorably, there are choices for battling with the looming baldness, in a handsome manner. It does not have to be traumatic. It could turn into one of the most amazing things to have happen to you!
