is there any real way to stop baldness?

Answer 1

no. there isn't.

the bald gene is carried in the mother. if your mother's father was bald, then you will be bald. you can't stop it. sorry, but that's the way it is.

if you go bald and have a problem with it, then buy a wig.

Answer 3

Depends on the root cause... literally.

Male pattern baldness is hereditary and is due to high levels of testosterone (cheer up, chap, means you've got plenty of sex drive). Unfortunately, short of taking female replacement hormones or castration, there's not much you can do about that. And either of the above would have some pretty interesting side effects.

Minoxidil and other hormone-based hair products can help but if you ever stop using them, everything you put back will go pretty quickly. Best advice is to go gracefully.

One word of hope: if your hair loss is VERY rapid, check that it really is MPB. Go to a registered trichologist (CHECK THEIR ACCREDITATION, many frauds out there) or to an upscale hair salon and check to see if you have any other conditions that could be causing the loss.

Tip: NO-ONE can do analysis without laboratory-based microscopic and chemical tests that will take a couple of weeks to come back from a sample. Anyone who does it just with a light and an inspection is probably a fraud - investigated something like this for TV show couple years back.

Answer 4

Well, you must first understand the nature of your balding, i.e is it due to genetics? I mean is your father/mother bald or suffering from hair loss? if that is the case, chances are you cannot do anything about it. But if the cause is organic, there are many therapeutics out there that MAY help you reduce the balding, or halt it for a moment but not entirely help it. There is a surgical way though, its called Hair Graft Transplantation, you may wanna consider that provided you have the $$$, ha ha. But it works.
Unlike what they said above, i must say, "A bad hair day is better than no hair day"

Answer 5

Yes there are drugs out there that are used for medical purposes and have as a side affect increased hair growth but that means everywhere on the body where hair might grow. If the medical world wanted to really stop baldness then they might be able to single out the part of the medication that creates the added hair stimulus and sell it on the market but does society really need a bunch of 40, 50 and 60 year olds running around with long hair?

Answer 6

well the gene may run in ur family, it may be recessive. Try and go 2 a clinic but, if ur 2 embarrassed as sum may be, but u shud really try and talk 2 sum1 as u feel so strongly about it. However, if u want a trial and error method which works on some - try vaseline hair tonic, and massage into ur head. This conditions the roots and try and leave it in without washing it 4 a while. My dad is a bro of, a quad of balding men, and he still has a full head of hair! Or u could try it with the innner method - eat plenty of eggs, carrots, gelatine - these all encourage hair growth. Also make sure ur shower is not 2 hot, and be certain that ur shampoo and conditioner is right for u Hope it helps...

NO! It's hereditary. And wearing a hat does cause baldness. What a laugh. HA! HA!

Learn What Causes Baldness

What causes baldness? It’s a question that has riddled man for thousands of years. In Ancient Rome, they believed baldness was caused by lack of acidity, which is probably why animal urine was regarded as a pre-eminent hair loss remedy. And up until about 50 years ago, electric shock treatments were used in the belief that the flow of blood, or lack thereof, was responsible for hair loss. The truth is…you really should be blaming your parents. (And not just your mom either.)

Baldness is caused by a mixture of genetics and hormones that we have very little control of. Though scientists are pretty close to identifying the genes responsible for baldness, (there’s more than one), the actual process of baldness is still quite a mystery. They are pretty sure that it is one particularly enzyme’s overzealous conversion of testosterone into (DHT) or dihydrotestosterone, an important part of male fetus development that causes baldness.

For some reason, science still isn’t sure why, these high levels of DHT react in a negative way with hair on the scalp, causing small hair follicles that ordinarily would be regenerating new hairs every 2-6 years, to shrink and render them useless to the creation of new hair. Again for some reason, and scientists don’t know about this one either, the hair on the sides of the head do not react the same way to DHT, leading to that “monk look” so common in men suffering from baldness.

Women suffering from baldness can blame powerful andogens created by the ovaries and adrenal glands combined with loss of estrogen for their hair loss. This is evidenced by a high-rate of female pattern baldness among women during menopause when testosterone levels are highest among women.

As we move closer to finding the cause of baldness we will probably find it is more a combination of factors than one isolated cause. It is important to remember that pattern baldness is not a disease and has no corresponding side effect other than hair loss. (And not all of it coming from your mom’s side. So give her a break.)

Answer 8

its just how your are born, your body already knows wither or not you are going to be bald when you get older..
It runs in my family, all the men go bald from front to back and keep a little hair in the back...I guess to keep them warm during winter.
Some lose hair on top and start growing it in other parts of their body.
The women in my family are lucky, most if not all keep all their hair and even keep the same hair color they were born with - that's on my dads side, however my mothers side all woman turn silver .
I am hoping that I follow my dads side of the family or I will be coloring my hair till the day I die. lol
you may not be able to stop it, however you can go to a doctor and have transplants done so it doesn't look like you went threw going bald.
enjoy it many men look sexy when they are bald.
You came into this world bald, and some of us will leave that way as well.

Answer 9

Why would you want to? Some of the sexiest men are bald. Bruce Willis, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Vin Diesel etc...It doesn't have to be the hair that makes the man. Now women balding that's a whole new problem. But a man with no hair can be and often is extremely sexy.

Answer 10

Nope it is genetics. Simple as that. You can get transplants done and a bazillion different things but why? The in thing now is bald heads so if your bald already your cool so why mess with perfection. Think of it this way
You are born basically bald so it was fashionable then and everyone thought your were cute as hell when you get older you go bald and it is just natural so why fight it?

Answer 11

No. And if any claim to their lying.

99.999999999% are a scam. That includes Rogain and the "FDA" approved ones. There just in it for the money!

Its not easy GOING bald, but once you do it's not so bad. I actually like the way I look better now.

PS: Wearing a hat does NOT cause baldness.
I don't have a link but I saw a medical study years ago stating that fact.
I never wore a hat before and I went bald. I do wear a hat now but that's one disadvantage of being bald. My head gets cold. lol
