Great new Androgenetic Alopecia article - has new insights

Post by HairLossFight.com »

A excellent new article called Male Androgenetic Alopecia has been posted with permission from the International Journal of Men's Health in the Morphollica.com Research section:

http://www.morphollica.com/research

This is a must read for anyone that wants to understand as much as they can about Androgenetic Alopecia. We will soon be posting a second part to this article having to do with treatment options.

One very interesting point from the article is the idea that it may be possible that the miniaturization process that has up till now thought to have been a gradual process that occurs over successive hair cycles, may actually happen much more quickly -- perhaps even in one cycle after the hair goes into telogen phase. If this is true then it makes it that much more important that one do something as soon as possible to halt the progression of hair loss. I think Minoxidil and Propecia should be considered by everyone that has androgenetic alopecia. It will be interesting to see what the follow-up article suggests.

Enjoy the article, and remember that you saw it here, and heard about the follow-up before any other site dedicated to hair loss. ;)

I'm certain that other sites will want to add this to their libraries as it is a great overall article.

It's got a fair amount of what I think is common knowledge with regards to AGA, but at the same time it has a few nuggets of info that I wasn't aware of.

I mentioned one of them already. Another one is what it says with regards to inflammation and hair loss. I have to read the whole thing again and then I'd like to post my overall thoughts on it. I'd definitely want to know what you think Jacob.

And anyone else too for that matter. ;)

The only thing I wish they'd touch on more is the benefits of dht as described in that article by Patrick Arnold. I doubt "dht inhibition" will even matter in the future when it comes to hair...at least that's the direction it seems to be going. TB4..PS1 etc aren' t exactly "dht inhibitors" :wink:

But like you said they did cover inflammation etc etc. Am curious to know what the second part will say...
