Understanding Hereditary Hair Loss: Early Care Matters
Genetic hair loss, also known as androgenetic alopecia, happens gradually and can feel daunting. It’s important to understand that while this type of hair loss is progressive, early care can help you make more informed choices about your hair and scalp needs.
Seeking professional hair and scalp guidance early is key. It may support the appearance of healthier-looking, fuller-looking hair over time. Early care also encourages a consistent hair and scalp care routine.
Support the appearance of fuller-looking hair with Svenson’s hair and scalp care treatments. Book a consultation with one of our trichologists to get started.
A Closer Look at the Causes and Symptoms of Hair Loss
If you’re noticing hair thinning that mirrors what your grandparents or parents experienced, you might be dealing with hereditary hair loss. One of the key players in this hair loss type is a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). When exposed to DHT, hair follicles can shrink and eventually stop producing hair.
With genetic male pattern baldness, hair thinning begins on both temples, with the hairline progressively receding to form a characteristic “M” shape. There is also thinning at the crown, which often develops into partial or complete baldness. Genetic hair loss in women, on the other hand, results in a general thinning over the entire scalp, particularly at the parting.
While completely stopping genetic hair loss remains a challenge, there are hair care treatments designed to support thinning hair. These treatments are formulated to promote the appearance of stronger-, fuller-looking hair over time. Seeking professional guidance early can play an important role in your hair and scalp care journey.
