At this page you will find interesting information about the fascinating world of hair. The information I would like to share with you is mainly about the loss of hair, that is, what is known as common alopecia, which could be defined as the loss of hair without any apparent reason that affects a big number of men and women.

People have been trying to find the solution to common baldness since millenniums ago, and despite the scientific advances the number of affected people is increasing day by day in our society. Many people think that finding the elixir would be the way to turn its discoverer into a multi millionaire, but other think that an effective solution will not be found, since this would be killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. The search for a real solution to common baldness is at least debatable, since even though every day it is more common to suffer from it, it is not a common illness, as nobody dies directly due to this cause.

I think that an effective solution has not been found because the real initial reason that triggers the process has not been found exactly, it seems that more efforts have been made in trying to find a hairgrowing lotion than in finding out the real reason why hair is lost. The etiology of common baldness is unknown in medicine texts, then, how can we think that the panacea that makes us recover the lost hair can be found? In my opinion, which many share, prevention is much better than cure, therefore we must focus our efforts in trying to find the initial and triggering cause of alopecia, to be able to beat baldness, from the point of view of prevention.

The biology of hair is extremely complex. All the known systems are implied in our hair, i.e., the circulatory system, the immune system, the lymphatic system, the nervous system, the system of cellular renovation by stem cells, etc. The hair exhibits a hair cycle, since it is born, grows, and it is lost, starting then a new cycle. The problem of common alopecia is that the hair is not renewed.

At this page I will expose to you my point of view after a careful study of over seven years. I have found a simple, clear and really new theory through which most cases of alopecia can be treated, in men as well as in women. There is a very effective method, completely free to beat baldness. It is a preventive remedy which avoids the loss of hair, but it acts only partially to be able to recover the hair which has been recently lost. In my honest opinion, there is a big paradox, since it can be avoided to be bald practically without any cost, but not even with all the money in the world one could stop being bald in a natural way (except for certain hair graft or trasplant techniques, with partial results).

One of the clues to get to the bottom of baldness is the reason why only certain hairs are affected while others are not. Some experts claim that there are differences in the blood flow in the different areas of the head where hair can be lost, others say that there is a different ability to take "nutrients". But it seems that no important difference can be found among the areas where falling occurs and the areas where it does not. The only exception is that the area where baldness does not occur, is exactly the same area that rests on the pillow while we sleep. This is an essential difference in the case we are treating. It could be thought that when we rest this area there is a certain process that avoids baldness, for example that it eliminates a poison from the environment. We only have to give a name to such poison, which in this case is the sebum. What a lot of cases of people who suffer from baldness at a certain time, in which there is a problem of fat, most of the cases due to an excess! What the pillow makes is to eliminate the fat that arrives to it through the contact with the hair. This is the reason why women and different ethnic groups such as rastafaris, American Indians, gypsies, etc. suffer less cases of common alopecia, since their hair is long enough to be physically in touch with the pillow, as the hair at the top of the head has also a drainage through the hair. Therefore if the patterns of the different length of hair, were inverted, i.e. if the woman wore a shorter hair, then it would be the woman and not the man, the one who would mainly suffer from common baldness.

The biological basis of this matter is easy to understand, the sebaceous gland that is next to the hair provides the essential and healthy sebum or fat so that the hair can live, but as we all know any fat is easily oxidized and is turned into a poison, therefore if it is not eliminated, problems will inevitably arise. If one wishes to go deeper in this sense, then it is necessary to know the process in more detail.

Before starting, we must know that sebum has two directions in the hair, one of translation through the hair shaft, i.e. from where it comes out to the surface till the end of the hair, and another sense towards the sides, i.e. transversal, from one hair to the next one. For this reason there are certain people who wear short hair but do not suffer from baldness, because although the hair at the top cannot eliminate the sebum in a longitudinal way, it does it in a transversal way, as they are people with a high hair density, with many hairs by a square centimetre.

Physically the hair is the one in charge of taking the sebum towards the outside, we must just know that it is able to adsorb its weight of sebum up to five times, therefore the physical features of hair can influence in a crucial way in the process of elimination of sebum. It could be said that negative factors for hair would be a short, thin, not dense enough and straight hair, and more resistant hairs would be the ones which are long, thick, dense and curly, since these last conditions allow the sebum flow to be regular and avoid stops in the flow.
