Products that can help men with hair loss:

*Don't feel like you are alone if you're getting bald: 

Men...if you believe you're one of a "few" men who are losing your hair...you're wrong. One quarter of the men who are in their 20s experience hair loss, and did you know, half of the men in their 50s go bald? It doesn't matter if you had a thick head of hair early in life, you can "still" have baldness as you age. Just a few short years back, men had "no" other options but to wear toupees or to get plugs, this was the only things available to them. Many men suffered from being bald and it caused in-security in a lot of them.

*Quality hair products now available to help in baldness:

Quality hair products are now available which can help both men and women who are bald. The clinical name for baldness is "androgenetic alopecia," which is caused by the chemistry on a person's scalp. This begins with testosterone, the male sex hormone. It is a harmless hormone on its own but it gets converted to dicey dihdrotestosterone (DHT) as it makes contact with oil glands in hair follicles. The oil glands hold the enzyme Type II 5-alpha reductase, which plays havoc with your male hormone.

This DHT gets into your scalp follicles and causes them to shrink. As it is doing this, it causes the protective membrane of the scalp to thicken and this restricts the blood flow to the capillaries. This causes any further hair growth to be possible. The hair then falls out at a natural rate and they aren't replaced.

*Stop DHT:

A man/woman should attack the DHT before it gets a hold and turns you into a bald person. There are substances that are found in nature that have shown a block in the action of 5-alpha reductase, which blocks DHT production. These consists of zinc, saw palmetto, ginko biloba, and pro-vitamin B5 which are being used in men's products to keep hair young and healthy.

As we halt the damage done by DHT, these products revive the hair follicles, which remain dormant. Once the thick membrane is thinned, the follicle will reopen and the hair will grown naturally again without the use of wigs or plugs. Did you know, MiN products offers a complete line of hair care and grooming products which can keep the hair looking good and thick. There is not a known cure for male pattern baldness but the proper products can slow it down and prevent it.

*MiN's products:

MiN's products are ideal for those men who may feel or see the onset of pattern
