The most common type of hair loss encountered in men is called male-pattern baldness (also known as androgenic alopecia.) This condition leads to hair width progressively decreasing until the hair is completely gone and baldness develops.

According to recent research, the primary cause of baldness (androgenic alopecia) is the androgenic hormone called DHT (dihydrotestosterone.) Normally, this hormone performs a number of important roles in male development, but when the level of DHT in scalp is increased, it binds to the hair follicles preventing them from extracting the necessary nutrients from the blood flow. This makes the follicles shrink and the width of the hair shaft decrease. The width of the hair shaft determines the hair width so as the follicles shrink, the hair becomes thinner as the result. Eventually, the shaft becomes so narrow that no hair can grow at all.

Fortunately, the solution to the problem of hair loss is rather simple — decreasing the level of dihydrotestosterone in the body usually prevents hair loss (or reverses it if it has already developed.) There are such prescription drugs as Finasteride (Propecia), which reduce the level of DHT and stop hair loss. However, these drugs can sometimes have very nasty side effects (e.g. there are known cases of gynecomastia (growth of breasts in males) and erectile dysfunction among the users of finasteride.) In addition, their effectivity is not universally accepted.

A better solution to the problem of baldness is to use natural treatments. They work in exactly the same way as synthetic prescription drugs, by blocking DHT and preventing it from binding to hair follicles. However, since they contain only natural ingredients, they do not have any side-effects commonly associated with synthetic chemicals. This makes natural hair loss treatments an attractive alternative to prescription drugs.

Saw Palmetto is a natural ingredient, which reduces the level of DHT, thus stopping and reversing hair loss.
