Hair loss can be a stressful thing to have to deal with. There is a myriad of causes, from stress, to improper diet, allergies to hormone changes, and treating your thinning hair can be worrisome.

Hair loss, defined as the loss of more than 100 hairs per day, affects millions of men and women in the United States and around the world. Approximately 40% of men, for example, experience some degree of noticeable hair loss by the age of 35.

Going bald? Don't worry, so are approximately 50 million other American men. But just because pattern baldness is common, doesn't mean you have to live with hair loss! Understanding the underlying causes of hair loss and the many remedial options available at clinics like Mane Image is the first step toward fighting hair loss and reclaiming your hair. 

The causes of hair loss have long been a mystery. In fact, androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness) is still a prominent area of research for many scientists. Though the causes of hair loss are an ongoing study, we know more about the roots of hair loss than ever before, including what hormones are wreaking havoc on your hairline. Hormones like testosterone; more specifically DHT.

Thinning hair and baldness are touchy subjects for most men, and who could blame them? Whether real or imagined, there seems to be a cultural stigma attached to hair loss. Some men lather on over-the-counter products or waste their hard-earned money on infomercial "miracle cure-alls," while others still try to beat hair loss to the punch by shaving their entire heads. How has this act of revolt become a viable "solution" to hair loss?  

Weather can be the cause -- both directly and indirectly -- of a lot of woes in a person's everyday life. High winds can cause power outages directly by knocking branches off of trees and onto power lines. A summer heat wave can indirectly cause power "brownouts" by placing too much demand on the grid, and cold, icy weather can cause auto accidents, roof collapses and much more. You get the picture. But can weather extremes actually cause a person to lose their hair?
