Dear friends, this blog has been gathering incredible momentum recently. Perhaps because we don't pretend we know it all but simply do our best to provide pointers to credible sources of information in a jungle of increasingly dubious resources. We also like to cover some lighthearted subjects from time to time as life can't be all work but no hair - I mean play - right? :) One such hard-to-come-across subject is 'Dating advice for men or women experiencing hair loss'.  Well it's not that it's hard to find information, it's that the information available lacks in substance. So let us try something different.  We will not tell you guys and girls how to go about dealing with hair loss and dating. Instead we invite all visitors to drop some golden nuggets of advice - whether you suffer from hair loss or not. Everybody is entitled to his/her advice - and everyone stands to benefit from it. This may or may not work out. But don't be shy, a word or two w

If you’re struggling with hair loss and have tried every remedy out there, don’t panic. Hair loss happens for a variety of reasons, but is often related to (or can be prevented by) our diet. Adding in some extra nutrients to your meals can make a huge difference, and I’ve found the best foods to fight hair loss… Eggs Our hair is made up from various proteins, so it’s important to make sure we’re getting enough from our diet. Luckily, eggs are full of it. Protein helps keep our hair strong and healthy, and can help prevent hair-fall and breakages.  Incorporating eggs into your diet is super easy – go for omelettes or pancakes for brekkie and add a boiled egg or two to your evening meal.  Fish Again, a great source of protein, as well as healthy fats. Omega 3 is present in lots of oily fish, such as salmon and mackerel, which are also low in the bad kinds of fat. Your hair will benefit massively from this extra boost in protein and fatty acids. Smoked salmon is easy

Scientists were curious to find out if men with beards are more susceptible to balding! Interestingly; one basic difference that bearded men had with all the other people was that their rate of sweat evaporation differed.  Their bearded area did not evaporate so much as their forehead, whereas, in the other groups, rates of sweat evaporation were identical. Scientists were suspicious about that fact, and the decided to keep track of these men for 10 years straight (now that's a geek life). Read the full article

The more testosterone you have, the higher your levels of DHT and t he main cause of hair loss is high levels of DHT. DHT is the by-product of testosterone.   Many bodybuilders try to increase testosterone by taking supplements and injections. With the increase of testosterone the DHT levels increase and this may cause thinning hair and balding. Those who are only taking supplements are not particularly prone as the increase of DHT from the increase of testosterone is not high enough in levels to cause balding. However, those who are going to lose their hair genetically may find that they are losing it quicker because of the increases. Many theories have circulated through the gym masses stating that bodybuilding alone causes baldness. This is not exact. Just working out naturally with no supplements, steroids or injections will not cause baldness. Read the full article about hair loss and body building

As you continue to age, the body decreases its production of important neuro-chemicals. On the other hand Masturbation limits the endocrine system which controls the release of such hormones.  With excessive masturbation, the body can go through accelerated damage to the tissue cells and organs. Men who keep masturbating excessively will eventually reach an exhausted state in which their bodies produce more inflammatory hormones and proteins, including prostaglandin E2 and DHT. These in turn might be the cause of pain and hair loss. Read the full article

The magic fix-all for hair loss is still far out of reach.  However advances in research can help us understand key contributing factors such as DHT. Dihydrotestosterone, also known as DHT, is a concentrated form of testosterone that plays a determining role in the biological function of men. Despite the positive note that DHT is essential in the development of males, it seems ironic that the search for dihydrotestosterone blockers have been neglected. Read the full article about DHT

Will we be 3D printing custom hair solutions in the near future?  The most likely answer is yes! The printing process involves bouncing a pulsing laser off a mirror and through a lens.  When it hits a ribbon containing the bio ink a droplet of the matter falls into place.  About ten thousand micro-droplets are created every second.  The resulting organic tissue would then need time to mature before these hair follicles are ready to grow.
