Head Hair
Does andropause cause hair loss? by Demetrios Alexandros
Andropause and hair loss often go hand in hand. Imagine clumps of hair falling off your head, or observing strands of once healthy hair collecting in the shower drain. Maybe you run your hand through your hair and feel it thinning. It can feel daunting and quite scary.
Typically, hair loss is a result of an imbalance of male testosterone hormone in the body. Instead of infusing the hair with healthy testosterone, enzymes break it down to a simpler form known as dihydrotestosterone.
An excess of this hormone has the effect of decreasing the size of hair follicles which eventually break down and make your hair fall off sporadically. The medical condition that is best associated with hair loss in Andropause sufferers is hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism is a by-product of decreasing levels of Human Growth Hormone, which is responsible for regulating our aging process. Andropause sufferers’ hormones have a profound effect on the rate and consistency of hair loss. Dihydrotestosterone (considered by medical circles the strongest, most potent form of testosterone) is responsible for building and growing body hair in men (at normal levels – an excess causes hair degeneration.)
This includes body hair, pubic hair, head hair, armpit hair – any hair. DHT is directly produced in the skin, made to work by supporting enzymes that break it down for distribution throughout the body. DHT levels are present more in certain areas of the body than in others – explaining why we may have a full crop of hair on our heads and little bushes of hair on our chests and backs. Realize, women also have DHT in their bodies but produce less of it.
That explains why women don’t have body hair. Case in point: an excess of DHT is prevalent in Andropause sufferers, explaining the reason for hair loss. The enzyme used to break down testosterone to dihydrotestosterone is ¨over activated¨ – working too hard and too fast.

Red Headed Stranger $4.04 Though this 1975 album cost Willie only $20,000 to record, it handed him the success he’d craved after years as a hit songwriter and modestly successful singer. By blending originals and vintage material, he created a timeless Western saga, one that originally left Columbia Records, who’d guaranteed him artistic control, skeptical. The label’s doubts, amplified by the fact that Nelson had recorded… |

Quadrophenia $15.60 An excellent and frequently astonishing album, Quadrophenia is both more ambitious and less accessible than Tommy, the first and most well known rock opera.

Dread Head – Head Hancho Hair Pick $6.99 Whether your dreads are mature or brand new you probably find yourself fantasizing about running a comb through your hair, feeling it slide across and tingle your scalp, imagine how good it would feel….don?t be embarrassed… we?ve all had those thoughts…and with good reason. It turns out your scalp needs stimulation, it?s crying out for attention. With no way to remove dead skin cells, neglected scalps can get itchy and even produce dandruff. The solution? Stimulate that scalp! The Head Honcho?s fully manual design offers the user tremendous flexibility in the speed, pressure and location of stimulation! What does the Head Hancho do? It stimulates your scalp, increases blood flow to the roots of your hair and helps your scalp exfoliate. Sounds like fun, but why is that important? In short, because regular hair gets all these benefits from brushing or combing and dreads don?t get brushed or combed. Increased blood flow has been shown to promote hair growth and helping the scalp exfoliate properly can naturally reduce dandruff and itchiness. How is it different that just scratching your head with a hair pick? It?s not. In fact, it is a hair pick! Ok, I am joking. Let me give you a lil history about the Honcho. Lots of people have an itchy scalp especially when starting dreads. Most often this is from not washing enough, but not always. I wanted to find out why. I after some reading about hair and scalps I realized that if you have dreads you really need to continue to stimulate the scalp to keep its pores open and remove dead skin cells that would normally be removed during brushing. Daily combing or brushing of the scalp is an important part of keeping it healthy. Brushing eliminates waste materials like deposits of uric acid crystals, catarrh and other acids and impurities that build up and become encrusted on the scalp. Brushing also stimulates the capillaries, increasing blood circulation and the transport of oxygen and nutrients to the hair stem, root and bulb. Most importantly, regular combing or brushing stimulates hormone- and oil- producing glands, which keeps the pores of the hair and scalp open, allowing them to breathe and retain their natural oils. Hair loss problems can almost always be traced to the sebaceous glands, the natural oil-producing and lubricating system of your hair. If the glands are out of balance, they will either overproduce sebum, the natural fatty oils that deliver nutrients to the hair, or under-produce it. When they overproduce sebum, the hair follicles drown in their own oil, which interferes with the nourishment of the roots. The scalp is then weakened and the hair begins to fall out. When the sebaceous glands under-produce sebum, the hair roots and follicles become undernourished, causing the hair to become dry and brittle and eventually fall out. Oftentimes, the foreign matter from mousses, gels, hair sprays, shampoos and conditioners clog the pores and follicles of the scalp as well. These dangerous resi |

Head-On $21.21 German-born Turkish filmmaker Fatih Akin writes and directs the drama Gegen die Wand (Head-On). Set in a working-class Hamburg neighborhood, the story follows two Turkish immigrants who get together in a marriage of convenience. Cahit Tomruk (Birol Ãœnel) is a heavy drinker and a fighter who crashes his car into a wall. While visiting his psychiatrist, Dr. Schiller (Hermann Lause), he meets fellow patient Sibel Guner (Sibel Kekilli). She’s desperate to get away from her restrictive family, so she asks Cahit to marry her. Wanting to change his life anyway, Cahit agrees to the arrangement. After their wedding, Sibel celebrates her freedom by drinking, dancing, and having one-night stands. Meanwhile, Cahit carries on an intimate relationship with hair stylist Maren (Catrin Striebeck). Eventually, Cahit and Sibel learn to care for one another after a climactic trip to Istanbul. Head-On won the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival in 2004. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi but they seem doomed to constant failure and unhappiness. Unel and Kekilli are shockingly realistic in the lead roles, adding to the overall poignancy of the harsh and disturbing film. There is a large Turkish contingent living in Germany, many of whom came over in the 20th century seeking employment; in HEAD-ON, Akin delves into the resultant changing cultures with deep insight in this moving drama. |
