Hair loss in men - What are the causes & what can you do?
Hair loss in men is widespread and affects many from young adulthood onwards. It can be a major emotional burden for those affected. However, in order to take the right measures, it is crucial to understand the causes and know suitable solutions.
In this article, you will learn all about the most common causes of hair loss in men and what options are available to strengthen the hair.
Causes of hair loss in men
Genetic predisposition
Androgenetic alopecia
The most common form is hereditary hair loss. In this case, the hair follicles react sensitively to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which shortens the growth phase of the hair. Typical symptoms are the development of receding hairlines and a thinning tonsure.
Hormonal influences
Imbalance in the hormone balance
In addition to genetic predisposition, hormonal balance also plays a decisive role.
- Thyroid disorders or testosterone imbalances can also have negative effects on the hair cycle.
- An increased DHT level can accelerate hair loss.
Stress and lifestyle
Negative influences
Chronic stress, lack of sleep or unhealthy habits such as smoking can worsen blood circulation to the scalp and weaken the hair roots.
An unhealthy lifestyle with insufficient nutrients, exercise and rest can contribute to diffuse hair loss.
Nutritional deficiencies
Missing nutrients
Hair needs a continuous supply of vitamins and minerals in order to grow vigorously.
- Zinc, iron, biotin and vitamin D are crucial for hair follicle health.
- A deficiency can lead to thinning, brittle or increased hair loss.
Diseases and medication
Additional triggers
Certain illnesses such as autoimmune diseases, diabetes or infections can lead to increased hair loss.
Medication - including blood thinners, beta blockers or chemotherapy drugs - also often have hair loss as a side effect.
Solutions and treatment options
Medical options
Minoxidil
An externally applied product that can stimulate the hair follicles and prolong the growth phase.
- Advantages: Widely used, often effective
- Disadvantages: Possible side effects such as skin irritation or dizziness
Natural alternatives
Herbal active ingredients
Many men today are turning to gentle, natural methods. Rosemary oil, caffeine, saw palmetto or ginseng have been shown in studies to have positive effects on blood circulation in the scalp and strengthening the hair roots.
Nutrition & lifestyle
Holistic approach
A balanced diet with sufficient protein, minerals and vitamins is essential.
- Stress management through yoga, meditation or sport can stabilize the hair cycle.
- Exercise promotes blood circulation and supports the care of the scalp.
Modern hair care
Special products
Specially developed serums or shampoos without harsh chemicals support scalp health and help to protect the hair follicles.
- Caffeine serums, biotin shampoos or rosemary extracts are often used as natural support.
- Although they do not replace medical therapy, they can improve the care and resistance of the hair.
