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.

Methods for Taking On Men's Hair Loss

By Elena Lopes


Men's hair loss is a major problem for a lot of men who are of certain ages. Many men spend a lot of time staring in a mirror, trying to find out if their hair is thinning. Some men don't even have to ponder about it, as it is quite apparent their scalp is showing more every day. There are a lot of things that you can do to cope with your hair loss. 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.

Stop dyeing your hair. Hair dye is usually known among women but men are also akin to that kind of bottle. Dyeing your hair on a regular basis can break it down and make it effortless for your scalp to shed it. The fact is, occasionally dying your hair all the time can make the hair fall out all at the same time. This is why you should learn to live with your natural hair color. If you have observed the thinning of your hair, you should not opt for the dye bottle, instead you should grab some strengthening shampoo or speak with your doctor.

Talk to your doctor before spending money on this product. The physician will aid you in deciding whether this is the right product for you or not.

Many other herbal remedies are available for you to try. Proceed with caution though since most herbal remedies are not tested by the FDA.

How much have you been fretting? Is it hard for you to believe that your stress level can be a major factor in the rate of your hair loss? When you hear that you probably respond by saying "that only adds stress!" Move on. In fact, try to get over all of your stress. The more often you are able to relax, the lesser amount of hair that will fall out. One of the first things the doctor will inquire about when you see them about your hair loss is, "how much stress do you have?" Try to be as calm as you can be! Most men are affected by hair loss at some point in their lifetime. Some men are doomed to live entirely bald lives once they reach certain ages. To avoid dealing with bald spots, some men will choose to go bald and shave their heads. Either way, know that you are not alone. Losing their hair is a concern for all men.
