Many people find hair loss bothersome and potentially permanent. Many face genetic hair loss, often starting in men’s mid-20s. Hair thinning is slightly more subtle for women but peaks following menopause. Many misconceptions surround genes and hair loss. Misconceptions include:
- You only have one ‘gene’ that predicts hair loss
While there are specific links between the ‘androgen receptor gene’ and male pattern baldness, there are far more genes that serve as predictors of hair loss. And in fact, all of them are pretty poor predictors of whether or not a man will actually lose hair.
- Your mother’s side is responsible for hair loss
While the androgen receptor gene is located on the X chromosome, genetic predisposition to hair loss can come from either side of the family.
- Genetic predispositions only involve men
Over 30 million US women face genetic hair loss. ‘Alopecia’ results in a more subtle thinning in women.
Many find hair loss both stressful and embarrassing. While many products promise to give you a fuller head of hair, very few produce long-lasting and durable results. Luckily, a process known as scalp micro pigmentation can give you an immediate, stable fuller-looking head of hair without retreatment.
Scalp micro pigmentation injects pigment to mimic hair. The procedure offers men a fuller look or a clean-shaven appearance.
