Home Remedies for Hair Loss in Men

Male hair loss is the most common form of hair loss. It is called androgen alopecia. It is mostly due to hereditary factors and runs in families for generations. Generally men start losing hair in their in their forties but many start losing hair in their twenties.

Hair loss in men is a metabolic disorder resulting in hair thinning, falling and disappearing. Hair is formed when the papilla, an up growth at the base of the hair follicle produces hair when a special group of cells on the scalp turns amino acids into a protein called keratin which makes hair. The rate of production of keratin governs hair growth. 

Causes of hair loss in men are lack of vitamins such as B6 and folic acid in the diet; inadequate nutrition, compounded by stress, anxiety and sudden shock. Hair loss can also be a result of prolonged illnesses such as typhoid, syphilis, chronic cold, influenza and anaemia. Other causes are unclean condition of the scalp and poor blood circulation.
