Wind does not cause hair loss other than the fact it may blow away falling hair. Hair loss in men in most cases is due to genetic male pattern balding. Hair loss occurs in a pattern (thus the term). If your theory of the windy city (Chicago) is true, you would see more bald men […]
The short answer to your question is that zinc does not necessarily negatively affect hair loss. Some studies show zinc supplements increase testosterone levels. There are other studies that show zinc supplements do NOT affect testosterone levels. For a normal healthy individual with genetic male pattern balding (MPB) taking over the counter supplements such as […]
SMP (Scalp Micropigmentation) will not damage hair follicles as the hair follicles are much deeper in the scalp than the pigment is placed. The only medication that has been proven to grow hair is Propecia and Rogaine. If you are concerned about hair loss and treatment options, you should see a doctor.
X-ray is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is all around us. It falls between the ultraviolet light and gamma rays in the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation. A certain amount of X-rays is all around us so your question depends on the amount of x-ray radiation one receives or the location of where the x-ray […]
I often write the Internet is a great source of information as well as misinformation. Are you trying to find answers or trying to quell your guilt from a high sugar diet? You don’t need to ask this question if you look a bit more online. But if you’re looking at a source to assuage […]
I am not sure how onion and ginger juice can restore hair loss, but I also am not sure how flax seed and fish oil can cause hair loss either. Maybe it was coincidence? There are many anecdotal stories on the Internet but I just want to make it clear that while personal experience and […]
We lose hair for a series of reasons. If you were mal-nourished or rapidly losing weight, you might precipitate your genetic balding pattern which could have been silent before you started working out. Good nutrition is important, but if your supplements contain any synthetic steroids (I do not know if they do), that would induce […]
Online Internet is as full of misinformation as it is with good information. Weight lifting does not cause hair loss in men (or women). The most common cause of hair loss in men is Genetic (called male patterned balding – MPB) or androgenic alopecia (AGA). It is not the testosterone (or even DHT). It is […]
The morning after pill is a hormone similar to what you find in a birth control pill. Birth control pills could possibly cause hair loss in rare instances. I can not tell you if that if your hair loss is related to the pill (Norlevo). It may be due to stress in general as well. […]
Snippet: Read the rest — Does Chemotherapy Always Cause Hair Loss? This is a pretty good write-up about chemo and hair loss.
Yes, hair loss is a known rare side effect of venlafaxine (also known as Effexor). While finasteride does protect you from the progression of your genetic hair loss pattern, it isn’t likely to protect you from hair loss due to medication. You can learn more about the side effects of venlafaxine here. If the side […]
I recall a woman that consulted me for a scar on her knee. I told her that I’m a doctor who treats men and women dealing with hair loss, but I think she just came to my office because the consult was free. She didn’t like my honesty, so she posted a bad review online. […]
I know people tend to want to find outside reasons for their hair loss rather than admitting that their genetics are the most likely culprit for their hairline betraying them…. but I will make this very short. Caffeine does not cause hair loss. I’ve written about this before here. You can be as theoretical and […]
If you stop Rogaine, the only hairs that may be lost are those that grew as a result of this drug. What you’re asking me is something people refer to as minoxidil dependence, but that only applies to the hairs that minoxidil grew. You can learn more about that here. Rogaine (minoxidil) should not impact […]
