A head of hair is like wealth, or true love: You never know what you have until it's gone. As one of the cornerstone's of any man's fashion style (not to mention one of the first places a woman's eyes go) hair — and eventual hair loss — is something nearly every man must face and master.

hair loss basics

Men lose between 50 and 100 hairs a day from their scalp. But through a combination of genetics and aging (even poor hair care), this number can steadily increase until baldness and hair thinning is readily apparent.

The most common type of hair loss is what's called "male pattern baldness." It is marked by a receding hairline at the brow or temples, and a growing bald spot at the crown of the head.

The primary genetic hair loss trigger for MPB is the creation of a hormone known as 5-alpha-reductase. As 5-alpha-reductase increases, it begins transforming testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). The high amounts of DHT then cause follicles to produce weaker hairs until they die out entirely. Simply put, when the DHT starts pumping, the hair starts falling.

should I be worried?

I hate to say yes, but... yes. 25% of men begin balding by age 30; the American Academy of Dermatology declares that fully 66% of all men will experience some form of baldness in their lifetime.

Since the chances are slim you'll be able to beat baldness' genetic crapshoot, the key is to recognize the onset of thinning hair early enough that you can keep what you do have, and learn to adapt to a reduced head of hair.

get dht-inhibitors

Embrace a DHT-inhibitor. For example, MiN New York develops and sells "Salon Defense," a line of hair-cleaning products loaded with the DHT-blocking ingredients biotin, zinc sulfate, saw palmetto, and copper peptide complex. Regular use of these products will help control DHT levels on the scalp and in hair follicles.

what is min new york?

MiN is a "guy beauty company" that creates and sells a wide array of hair-care products exclusively developed for the male head.

MiN does not position its products as a cure for baldness. Rather, they're marketed as an excellent preventive treatment, or supplemental treatment for the man using hair regrowth products, such as Rogaine or Propecia.
