Incidence of pattern baldness varies from population to population based on genetic background; environmental factors do not

seem to affect this type of baldness greatly. It was previously believed that baldness was inherited from the maternal

grandfather. While there is some basis for this belief, both parents contribute to their offspring’s likelihood of hair loss.

Baldness involves the state of lacking hair where it often grows, especially on the head.

There are several other kinds of baldness:

a) Traction alopecia is most commonly found in people with ponytails or cornrows who pull on their hair with excessive force.

b) Trichotillomania is the loss of hair caused by compulsive pulling and bending of the hairs. It tends to occur more in

children than in adults. In this condition the hairs are not absent from the scalp but are broken. Where they break near

the scalp they cause typical, short, “exclamation mark” hairs.

c) Traumas such as chemotherapy, childbirth, major surgery, poisoning, and severe stress may cause a hair loss condition

known as telogen effluvium.

d) Worrisome hair loss often follows childbirth without causing actual baldness. In this situation, the hair is actually

thicker during pregnancy due to increased circulating oestrogens. After the baby is born, the oestrogen levels fall back

to normal pre-pregnancy levels and the additional hair foliage drops out. A similar situation occurs in women taking the

fertility-stimulating drug clomiphene.

e) Iron deficiency is a common cause of thinning of the hair, though frank baldness is not usually seen.

f) Radiation to the scalp, as happens when radiotherapy is applied to the head for the treatment of certain cancers there,

can cause baldness of the irradiated areas.

g) Some mycotic infections can cause massive hair loss.

h) Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder also known as “spot baldness” that can result in hair loss ranging from just one

location (Alopecia areata monolocularis) to every hair on the entire body (Alopecia areata universalis).

i) Localized or diffuse hair loss may also occur in cicatricial alopecia (lupus erythematosus, lichen plano pilaris,
folliculitis decalvans, central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, postmenopausal frontal fibrosing alopecia, etc.). Tumours

and skin outgrowths also induce localized baldness (sebaceous nevus, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma).

j) Hypothyroidism can cause hair loss, typically frontal, and is particularly associated with thinning of the outer third of

the eyebrows (syphilis also can cause loss of the outer third of the eyebrows)

k) Hyperthyroidism can also cause hair loss, which is parietal rather than frontal.

l) Temporary loss of hair can occur in areas where sebaceous cysts are present for considerable duration; normally one to

several weeks in length. Hair loss usually develops gradually and may be patchy or all over (diffuse). You lose roughly

100  hairs from your head every day. The average scalp contains about 100,000 hairs. Each individual hair survives for an

average of 4 1/2 years, during which time it grows about 1/2 inch a month. Usually in its 5th year, the hair falls out and

is replaced within 6 months by a new one. Genetic baldness is caused by the body’s failure to produce new hairs and not by

excessive hair loss.

Call your doctor if:

a) You are losing hair in an unusual pattern
b) You are losing hair rapidly or at an early age (for example, in your teens or twenties)
c) You have any pain or itching with the hair loss
d) The skin on your scalp under the involved area is red, scaly, or otherwise abnormal
e) You have acne, facial hair, or an abnormal menstrual cycle
f) You are a woman and have male pattern baldness
g) You have bald spots on your beard or eyebrows
h) You have been gaining weight or have muscle weakness, intolerance to cold temperatures, or fatigue.
And if you have no time to go to doctor then there is a wonderful product procerin.

WHAT IS PROCERIN?
Procerin is a proven product that usually stops at the fall general and partial loss of hair. The treatment for hair loss

Procerin is effective because it provides a remedy in two ways – the capsule easy to take and the concentrated serum applied

directly to the scalp.
Although there are several types of hair loss (mechanical, medicinal, etc. because of infection.) Procerin is very effective

in the most common – androgenic alopecia – hair loss or genetically conditioned by lifestyle (stress, stimulants …). The

cosmetics and medicines against hair loss available on the market only mask the lack of hair off a series of negative effects

such as reduced libido, etc.
