Exploring the Genetic Links Between Hair Loss and Overall Health
Hair loss is a common concern that extends beyond appearance; it can also provide valuable insights into your overall health. Emerging research has uncovered intriguing genetic links between hair loss and various health factors. In this blog, we delve into the fascinating world of these connections, shedding light on how genetic tests for hair loss, including hair loss DNA tests, baldness genetic tests, and genetic hair loss tests, can offer not only insights into your hair but also your overall well-being.
Tumblr media
The Interplay of Genetics and Health
Hair loss is not solely a cosmetic issue; it can be a manifestation of underlying health conditions. Researchers have identified genetic markers associated with both hair loss and certain health factors. Understanding these genetic links can lead to a more holistic approach to healthcare.
Genetic Tests for Hair Loss - Beyond Appearance
Genetic tests for hair loss have evolved to provide insights not only into your likelihood of losing hair but also into your overall health. Here's how these tests are expanding their scope:
Hair Loss DNA Tests
Hair loss DNA tests analyze specific genes associated with hair loss. While they offer insights into your genetic predisposition to baldness, they can also unveil genetic factors linked to broader health concerns.
Baldness Genetic Tests
Baldness genetic tests focus on genetic markers related to baldness. They can identify genes that may contribute to hair loss and, in some cases, uncover genetic links to health conditions that may affect hair health.
Genetic Hair Loss Tests
Genetic hair loss tests encompass a wide range of genetic markers associated with hair loss. Beyond predicting hair loss, they can reveal genetic clues about your overall health and well-being.
The Surprising Genetic Links
Recent studies have uncovered surprising genetic links between hair loss and various health factors:
Cardiovascular Health: Some genetic markers associated with hair loss have been correlated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. This connection highlights the importance of monitoring heart health in individuals with a family history of baldness.
Insulin Resistance: Genetic links between hair loss and insulin resistance have been observed. Individuals with certain genetic variations related to hair loss may have an increased risk of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.
Prostate Health: Male pattern baldness has been associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer. Genetic tests can provide early insights into this potential risk.
Inflammation: Genetic markers for hair loss have also been linked to chronic inflammation. This connection underscores the importance of addressing inflammation for both hair health and overall well-being.
The Holistic Approach
Understanding the genetic links between hair loss and overall health emphasizes the need for a holistic approach to well-being. While genetics play a role, lifestyle factors, diet, exercise, and regular medical check-ups are equally important. Genetic tests for hair loss offer a valuable tool for individuals and healthcare providers to assess not only hair health but also potential health risks.
Conclusion
Hair loss is more than a cosmetic concern; it can provide genetic insights into your overall health. Genetic tests for hair loss, including hair loss DNA tests, baldness genetic tests, and genetic hair loss tests, are expanding their horizons to encompass broader health factors. Embracing this interconnectedness between hair and health allows for a more comprehensive approach to well-being. Whether you're addressing hair loss concerns or proactively managing your health, understanding the genetic links is a step toward a healthier and more informed future.

Wet Beast Wednesday: walrus
There are a lot of iconic arctic animals, such as the polar bear and narwhal, but my personal favorite is the walrus. Known for their large tusks, prominent whiskers, and habit for busting myths creepy eyes, walruses are unique amongst the pinnipeds. Most people know of the two main groups of pinnipeds: Phocidae, the earless or true seals and Otariidae, the fur seals and sea lions. Walruses however are in a class of their own, being the only surviving species of their own family: Odobenidae. A weird fact that I learned researching for this is that taxonoimists used to think Odobenids evolved from bears before later reclassifying them alongside the other pinnipeds. Old-timey taxonomy was wild and came up with some absolutely unhinged ideas. Like they used to think that microbats and megabats weren't related, instead classifying megabats as primates.
Tumblr media
(image; a walrus sitting on an ice flow. It is a large, brown mammals with short limbs that end in flippers. Its head has a wide, blunt snout and two long tusks emerging from the upper jaw)
There is one species of walrus, Odobenus rosmarus, divided into two subspecies based on location: the Atlantic walrus (O. r. rosmarus) and Pacific walrus (O. r. divergens). The two subspecies are still very similar and genetic testing indicates they diverged between 750,000 and 500,000 years ago. There used to be a third listed subspecies from the Laptev sea, O. r. laptevi, but they have since been reclassified as a population of the Pacific walrus. Walruses are very large, being the third largest pinnipeds after the two elephant seal species. The Pacific subspecies is larger than their Atlantic brethren with most males reaching an average weight between 800 and 1,700 kg (1,800 to 3,700 lbs). A few males have been known to grow considerably larger than average. Male Atlantic walruses average about 900 kg (2,200 lbs). In both subspecies, females are about 2/3 the size of males and have shorter tusks. a large portion of their weight comes from the thick layer of blubber under their skin that helps them stay warm. Both subspecies have an average length between 2.2 and 3.6 meters (7.4 to 11.8 ft). Walruses have hind flippers that can turn forward to act like feet, letting them crawl on all fours like sea lions. Like true seals, they have no external ears. The skin is very thick and mostly bald. They are born with brown skin that becomes lighter as they age. While swimming, the blood vessels in the skin construct to reduce blood flow and limit heat loss, which makes them considerably lighter, almost white. Males have skin nodules called bossed around the neck and shoulders. Their creepy eyes are the result of eye sockets with no roof and powerful extraocular muscles that let the eyes protrude out of the skull and look both forward and sideways. The famous mustaches are composed of 400-700 thick whiskers. The whiskers are attached to muscles and have both nerve ending and blood supply. They are incredibly sensitive sense organs and a walrus can identify objects as small as 2mm with its whiskers. Their lips are muscular and flexible and aid in creating a large variety of noises.

How come the walrus can whistle but I can't? (video: a walrus in a zoo being instructed by its handler to make multiple vocalizations)
Of course the most famous features of walruses are their tusks. These two large canines can reach a meter in length and are larger in males than females. The tusks have a number of uses in both sexes, though males use them more. In both sexes, they are used to help dig breathing holes in sea ice, hang onto ice and help the walrus climb out of the water. Males also use their tusks in displays of dominance, especially during mating season. Larger tusks are a sign of dominance and typically the walrus with the largest tusks will win standoffs. If a standoff escalates from posturing to a fight, they will use their tusks as weapons. They tend to strike around the neck and shoulders and the skin nodules in those areas help protect males from each other's tusks. It was formerly believed that walruses would use their tusks to dig for prey on the sea floor, but this is no longer believed to be the case.
Tumblr media
(image: a walrus skull showing the tusks)

(image: a walrus using its tusks to hang onto the ice and keep its nostrils above the water)
Walruses spend a lot of their time searching for the food they need to support a body that big. They prefer forging along the continental shelf and spend much more time in shallow water than other pinnipeds. While walruses have been tracked diving 500 meters deep, the majority of dives are much more shallow. The vast majority of a walrus's diet consists of seafloor-dwelling invertebrates including tubeworms, soft corals, tunicates, crabs and shrimp, sea cucumbers, and mollusks. While that's a wide palette, their absolute favorite food is clams. To hunt, walruses drag their noses and the forward surface of their tusks through the sediment and use their whiskers to search for food. This stirs up the sediment and releases nutrients back into the water column, a process balled bioturbation. Many foods can be swallowed whole or chewed, but they have a special feeding style for clams and other bivalves. Walruses will hold the bivalve in their mouths and use their flexible lips to form a water-tight seal around it. It then withdraws its tongue into its mouth to create enough suction to suck the bivalve meat right out of the shell. So important is this strategy to feeding that the shape of their mouths is specially adapted to it. Walruses are also known to feed on seals, though how much of that is due to hunting or scavenging is unknown. Additionally, they will scavenge whales, may hunt walrus trapped under sea ice, and have been seen catching and eating birds.
Tumblr media
(image: a walrus foraging for food underwater. It has its snout pressed into the sea floor and is kicking up a large amount of sediment. Still from a National Geographic video)
Walruses are social and migratory, traveling south for the winter and north for the summer in aggregations that can be tens of thousands strong. They will haul out onto land or sea ice in huge numbers, blanketing the landscape in blubber and tusks. While these aggregations are preferred, they are not considered a true social species as they do not aid each other when together. Walruses on land or ice are skittish and will spook easily. Being startled can lead to stampedes while the walruses flee back to sea. Sometimes, walruses will be trampled to death during these stampedes. During mating season, the normally cordial walruses become much less friendly to their neighbors. Breeding seasons lasts from January to March. During this time, males will gather in the water around females in heat and compete for the change to get to that nice walrussy (I will not apologize). This is usually done via bellowing and posturing with the tusks, but may escalate to fights. While males become sexually mature around age 7, they often do not become large and strong enough to secure mates until around age 15. Females become sexually mature between 4 and 6 years old. Curiously, females enter heat twice per year, but males are only fertile once per year. Gestation takes up to 16 months and calves are born able to swim and weighing up to 75 kg (165 lbs). Females with calves move away from the large aggregations, possibly to keep their calves from being crushed in stampedes and possibly to make it harder for predators to detect their scent. Nursing lasts for over a year, longer than in many pinnipeds. Walrus milk is fattier than that of land mammals, but less fatty than that of true seals, forcing walrus mother to nurse longer. Even after being weaned, walruses may spend up to 5 years with their mothers. Females only mate at most every two years, which gives the walrus the lowest reproduction rate of all pinnipeds. Walruses can live up to 30 years in the wild and 40 years in captivity. Male walruses have the largest penis bone of any non-cetacean both in absolute size and proportionately.

"Don't talk to me or my son ever again" (image: a mother walrus with its calf. The calf is a smaller version of the mother with no tusks. The calf is sittting by its mother's side. Both are looking at the camers)
Walruses have been hunted by humans living in the arctic circle for millennia. Hunting peaked in 18th and 19th centuries when there was a high commercial demand for meat, blubber, skin, and ivory. This almost led to the extirpation of Atlantic walruses. Since then, hunting has been outlawed except by indigenous peoples, allowing the populations to recover. Now, the major threat to walruses is climate change leading to loss of sea ice needed for hauling out and breeding. The IUCN lists both subspecies as Vulnerable. They were an important source of food and other materials to the peoples of the arctic circle and appear frequently in the mythology of said peoples.

ok so my idea for a bad batch redesign is. What if the bad batch was actually an experiment on transgenic clone modifications. like. really putting the "experimental" in experimental clone force.
Tumblr media
Hunter - Kaleesh genes make his senses sharper, and gives him infrared sensing (and by extension night vision) and stronger hunting instincts - His ears are pointy and taller than normal, but he hides that with his bandana - Has pit organs under his eyes (that's how he senses infrared and electric currents) - His eyes reflect light and have slit pupils - His pinkies work as secondary thumbs
Tech - Kind of a test to see how much of givins' natural affinity for mathematics is genetic and how much is socialized - He's better with maths and has quicker thinking than regular humans - Givin genes make him smaller, pale and bony, so he looks kinda sickly and starved but he's totally normal - The glasses help hide how deep his eyes are - The "balding" look from his original design is now because of his bone structure
Wrecker - Gamorrean genes give him enhanced strength - It also gives him a very strong sense of loyalty, and makes him tend to be stubborn - He's actually a little bit shorter than an average clone, but he's so wide that people think he's taller than he really is - His left canine broke in the same incident where he lost his left eye
Crosshair - Chiss genes give him infrared vision and better reflexes (and red scleras) - Umbaran genes give him ultraviolet vision - He really is just an experiment on expanding the human vision range - He sees infrared better than ultraviolet, and has better night vision than Hunter - His hair is a cool black instead of the usual warm black - He's a bit paler as well but that's because he doesn't like bright places

Tim. How much is the... Chances that Kon becomes as Bald as Lex In the future?
- @danny-fenton-in-gotham (I'm just assuming they're already friends because of Conner <33)
I cannot predict whether Kon will experience hair loss in the future. If he wishes to know, I would recommend that he consider undergoing a genetic test to assess the likelihood. Regardless, I can confidently say that I will support Kon, with or without hair.
Tim Drake
Unlikely. From the genetic tests I've done, the kryptonian gene tends to overpower the human gene so unless Clark starts balding I don't believe Kon will.

List of weird shit Clarke included :
The space odyssey series certainly was a ride. There’s a lot of great elements to it and some… not so much. A good deal, especially in later books, becomes a bunch of real weird and specific stuff either he’s horny about and … if I have to be scarred so do you.
Some of this is just funny/specific and not “bad” weird, will specify.
Sex toys on the discovery
The nipple thing
Everyone is super into diving as a hobby in 2010 (just funny)
“The pleasures and pitfalls of zero G sex we’re greatly exaggerated” (something along the lines of this, just funny)
Dave having a messed up grief fueled situationship with his dead older brothers girlfriend (WHY)
Space divorce (funny)
Heywood seeing Starchild Dave as higher being because he didn’t form a dick (he could very loosely make a outline of a human form only detailing the eyes but Floyd wanted full nude apparently)
Ship rape
Jupiter explodes and becomes a second sun and everyone’s just cool with that.
Pangea is implied to have reformed killing thousands and everyone’s just sort of cool with that
“Bioluminescent orgasm”
Heywood gets the shits from drinking comet water
Random Gay couple with a parrot (just funny)
Having chips in your hand with all identifying information and NEEDING them to do anything along with NEEDING the brain cap and it not being a choice (cyberpunk dystopia who? Maybe I’m just jaded)
When going through the brain cap testing Frank “for a moment he even had a violent erection”
Religion is eradicated and “icky” but religion still technically exists
Implied sexual relationships with genetically enhanced gorillas
Dinosaurs and wings are a thing
The astronautics agency drugged their food with anti-horny drugs without their knowledge
Anti-circumcision plot point (like the bald thing in sounds like a personal issue the author should sort out.)
Criminals are basically mind controlled non people doing the undesirable jobs
Frank gets put in a suite dedicated to Dave. Pictures and everything (That’s so cruel lmao)
3 decade and 15 year time skip where a boyfriend blows up, Frank speed runs starting a family and getting divorced. It is a time skip that changes little as everything resets to status quo

I had a dream that I wrote a tumblr post on labrador retriever colour genetics for some reason and now I'm like well since dog colour genetics IS an interest of mine, why not. I don't remember what I wrote about specifically in my dream but here's a few lab colour facts.
(N.B. I am not getting into the debate of purebred vs mixed, I am not saying one is better than the other etc, just stating a few facts)
There is only one breed of labrador, the labrador retriever. Yellow/brown/black lab just refers to the coat colour. They share the same breed standard, are judged together and can be interbred, they are not different breeds.
All colours you can find in dogs are created through the interaction of two different kinds of colour pigment, they are eumelanin (black/chocolate brown/blue/lilac) and phaeomelanin (all shades of red from deep copper to off-white). White is absence of pigment all together.
For labradors specifically, black and brown are expressions of eumelanin, yellow labs express phaeomelanin. From a genetic viewpoint, all yellow labs from the super pale cream ones to the deep fox red ones are genetically "red", they just have additional genes that bleach/darken their red shade.
Most (maybe all) labrador retrievers are genetically tanpoint ("dobermann pattern") but almost all of them also have a gene called "dominant K" which overrides that pattern, leaving them solid black or brown. In very rare cases, purebred puppies can be born that show the pointed pattern.
Yellow labs also have a gene that prohibits the expression of eumelanin in the coat, instead they exhibit only phaeomelanin, which is otherwise "overridden" by the dominant K, black/brown -> red.
In very rare cases, dogs can have something called a "somatic mutation" where you can get a dog that expresses two or more coat patterns/colours at once. Try googling "somatic mutation labrador" and you'll see some cool labs that are mixed black and yellow, which is normally impossible. This kind of mutation happens randomly, it is not genetic and can not be bred for. It is not the same thing as merle.
Small white markings such as a chest spot or white toes is something that can randomly happen in puppies if the pigment did not have time to develop fully before birth. Often such markings go away as the dog ages and the pigment fills in. However, more extensive white markings (like white that forms a full or partial white collar, extends pasts the toes etc) is a sign that the dog has another breed or breeds mixed in, the genes to produce that amount of white spotting does not exist in purebred labradors.
"Silver" labradors are labs that have been crossbred with a breed that carries the dilution gene (usually a weimaraner), which turns black to blue and brown to lilac. Unscrupulous breeders try to pass these dogs off as rare and exotic purebred labs to fool unsuspecting buyers. Breed DNA tests are not reliable as they can not spot a mixed in breed after 3 generations. The breeding of silver labs is unethical as the dilution gene is tied to health issues, in particular CDA (colour dilution alopecia) which can lead to itchiness, flaky skin, hairless/balding and skin infections.
Artist bonus: - If you are drawing a black lab, it should have a black nose and brown eyes. - If you are drawing a brown lab, it should have a brown or flesh-coloured nose and amber or light brown eyes. It is genetically impossible for a brown lab (or any other dog breed that comes in dark brown/chocolate/liver colour) to have a black nose and dark brown eyes. They just can't produce that kind of pigment. SO many people including professionals get this wrong and it drives me up the wall, use references people lol - If you are drawing a yellow lab, it can have black OR brown pigment "behind the yellow", but black pigment is most common, so black nose/brown eyes. These dogs sometimes have a flesh-coloured spot on their nose, which is called a dudley nose.

Not to be pedantic but the weird eugenicist fantasy wouldn't select for high estrogen males because they're talking about testing for the genetic component, and not the baldness itself. That being said if it became reality I'm sure it'd inevitably descend into that because I'm not sure if genetic testing for male pattern baldness exists and even if it does testing everyone for it would be an absurd effort. For baldness? Why is baldness what this guy thought of skfjsjfdjd. Also like they clearly don't understand how male pattern baldness works because females cary the gene too. Also like isn't it more common than not? Is this guy proposing that the majority of people are sterilised wtf.
well, yeah that's the thing, they wouldn't be able to test for it genetically, so the only thing they could do would be to medically diagnose the onset of male pattern baldness, and then sterilize whoever has it; hence they would most likely weed out men with high testosterone first if they actually adhered to this example plan
and yeah of course it's nonsense, all eugenics are, any attempt to put the ideology into practice as envisioned dies the second it touches medical reality, and as such can only descend into the actual political intent its proponents have: to punish, enslave and murder those they deem undesirable according to their fascist ideals
the baldness example doesn't exist because these people actually believe that's a viable plan, it's a trojan horse to get people who aren't educated enough to see its stupidity onboard with fascist talking points; if these people ever get the power to implement eugenics it won't be baldness they ''cure'', it will be ''low IQ'' based on racially biased testing so they can bring back chattel slavery and ''autogynephilia'' so they can murder trans women etc. etc.

Doing some maths to figure out the X-Men's ages in #1 and clear up some misconceptions, because people believe the Professor was old and the students were all 16 lol.
Let's start with the most difficult to pin down, Professor X. The data:
His mutant powers originated from his parents exposure to radiation affecting their offspring's genetics.
His father died in the Trinity nuclear test (1945) and we see him at the funeral
He says he went bald in his teens, which was after the funeral and Marko becoming his step father because we see him with hair in those scenes.
He was injured in a car accident when Cain was driving him to college, which was before he joined the Korean war (1950-53).
The X-Men celebrate the 1 year anniversary of Xavier starting lessons in X-Men #4, published in January, 1964. Sidenote: The team was formed before X-Men #1 (which was published in July 1963). A year did not pass in 4 issues.
The latest he could have joined the Korean war was 1953, since that ended in July, and college starts in Autumn, he must have gone to college at latest in 1952, making him at least 18 by then. This would make him 11 in 1945, lining up with his appearance at his father's funeral and the statement about him losing hair in his teens, and he would therefore be born in 1934, making him 29 in 1963 when the X-Men were founded. He could also be a bit older since teen years only start at 13 and balding is a process which might not have been visible in his early teen years. All in all, I can't see him above 15 at a stretch in 1945, making him at maximum 33 when the X-Men were formed.
The students are easier. In X-Men #1, right before Jean joins the team, Iceman is explicitly called 16 and the other members are said to be a couple years older than him, making them 18 at least and no older than 19 given they're all referred to as teenagers. Additionally, Beast is stated to be the oldest. Jean's age is not stated in this issue, but since Iceman is still treated as the runt of the group, it's safe to assume she's older than him.
Then in #4, Angel says to Iceman, "I'll hang you up to dry while we adults continue with the tests." Since Jean is still waiting to be tested, it's implied she's an adult too.
In conclusion: By the first issue of X-Men, Professor X is at least 29 and at most 33, likely 30 in my opinion, all the students are teens with Iceman being 16 and the others being 18-19.

Hello! (Sorry for my English, I'm using a translator to write this XP) I really love your posts and they really helped me sort out my feelings in a lot of ways (including as a trans man), but I still have a lot of doubts. I like to think and talk about myself as a man, but at the same time I do not have severe gender dysphoria, and when I think about starting my transition, I am tormented by huge doubts, as if I am afraid to regret my decision, but at the same time I like to imagine myself as a man and I very often regret that I was not born a man (like I would like to have a penis and get rid of this annoying breast). I seem to have a special idea of ​​what kind of man I should be, and if I don’t be exactly that, then my life will be destroyed. I have read a lot about how male hormones affect the body of trans guys and I am afraid to face the negative consequences of the transition (for example, baldness, I am very attached to my long hair and I am afraid of losing it), I am afraid that I will become ugly and only cripple my body . I'm scared that I'll never be a full-fledged man. Can you please tell more about how you felt when you first started to accept yourself as a trans man, it would help me a lot :)
hello!
dysphoria is not required to be any type of trans person.
it is normal to have doubts at first when questioning one's gender, i think it's good that you've figured out that you definitely perceive yourself as male and enjoy doing so, that is honestly the most important part of the experience. fear and anxiety creep in and make us second guess ourselves but the truth is honestly more simple than we feel
fortunately testosterone doesn't make anyone "ugly" or "crippled" and many of the effects of testosterone in the body "revert" back to how it was before if the person is not taking testosterone for a substantial amount of time (1.5 years+). please be careful when sending other people asks like this, this belief is radfem/terf rhetoric, and it's best to undo that thinking and understand that testosterone is a hormone that exists in all of our endocrine systems regardless of agab- every person has both estrogen and testosterone in their bodies at all times, and not one hormone or the other makes someone ugly or bad- there is nothing inherently bad about testosterone, or high testosterone bodies.
please remember when sending me asks like this that i was born in a high testosterone body and HRT helped and affected my body secondarily, not primarily- it is taken to augment my body's naturally high T levels. this line of thinking makes me feel super alienated from the transmasculine community and awkward, which is partially why i primarily identify as a trans woman and struggle to identify as a trans man anymore.
it's normal to fear balding, every transmasc and trans man i've ever met has feared baldness, myself included, but baldness isn't a guarantee, it's just 1 possible side effect amongst many. you are not guaranteed to go bald and you are able to do testing to see if you are genetically more likely to. also, if you do begin to bald, it is not the end of the world, as there are lots of medications that treat balding and your endocrinologist will be aware of these risks when starting you on testosterone HRT, so you will have advanced access to this type of care
if you don't want to go on T, you don't have to, that is not a requirement for being a trans man or transmasculine person. it is up to you to decide if that's appropriate for you. if you don't go on hormones and decide to socially transition and decide you don't like being seen as a man after all, then you didn't do any harm to anyone or anything, you didn't irreparably change anything, or anything like that. there's no harm in doing a trial run of an identity without hormones if you want to test the waters and see how it feels
if you like the positives of T and are only really concerned about baldness, i would say that it sounds like testosterone could be a good choice for you. i think it's best to weigh the pros and cons and if balding is the only real con you are concerned about, it may be worthwhile to talk to a doctor in your area
it's very normal to have these types of fears and to question yourself, it's healthy to do so, and most people go through a very long questioning period before trying out the identity they feel they are. it works best for some to go by that identity online for some time, then come out to irl friends, then progress from there, dressing how you want to in public, etc. it's up to you to decide, but overall, you sound like you have a very normal trans man experience. it's okay to not want to go on T and to not have dysphoria. that is one of the most common expressions of trans manhood i come across, actually
i hope this helps, take care, good luck in your journey, hope you are able to figure things out and do what's right for you. you deserve the time to figure yourself out above all else

Best Hair Fall Treatment for Men in 2023
Tumblr media
Men can lose their hair for multiple reasons. Androgenetic alopecia is a hereditary disorder that affects more than half of the male population over 50. However, stress or other autoimmune conditions like alopecia areata can cause men to lose their hair.
Although one cannot always stop hair loss, several therapies and hair loss treatments might be able to slow the process down.
Hair loss and baldness result when new hairs stop growing or fall out too quickly. It's typical to lose somewhere between 50 to 100 hairs daily. Because new hair grows to replace lost hair, this loss is typically not noticeable.
Depending on the hair loss, you can observe gradual hair thinning, receding hairline, or an abrupt bald patch. Hair loss can act on the entire body or just the hair on your scalp.
Causes of Hair Fall 
Men's hair loss may be brought on by:
Genetics and Family History
A genetic disorder known as androgenic alopecia causes men to lose their hair over time. It could manifest as thinning areas on the crown of the head or a hairline that is slowly retreating. You are more likely to experience hair loss if your family members do.
Drug-Related Conditions
Certain medical conditions, such as autoimmune diseases or hormonal problems, might result in hair loss. For instance, bald spots or thinning hair may be brought on by thyroid problems, bacterial scalp infections, or the hair-pulling condition trichotillomania. Alopecia areata (bald patches) is a condition that develops when the immune system kills hair follicles.
Medication and Medical Procedures
Several drugs prescribed to treat ailments like cancer, depression, gout, heart disease, and arthritis can cause hair loss as a side effect.
Stress
Events or long-term stress may cause temporary hair thinning.
Diagnosis of Hair Fall in Men
Before making a diagnosis, your hair expert will probably perform a physical examination, ask about your health and family history, and quiz you about your diet and hair care routine. You could also get the following tests done:
A blood Test

HOW TO TREAT WEAK AND THINNING HAIR? - REVOLUTIONARY METHOD FOR HAIR TREATMENT – HAIR THERAPY SHAMPOO 
Did you know that thousands of people, like you and me, suffer from severe hair loss? There are also cases of thinning, dull hair, which became more evident after the age of 40, where the hair becomes thin, dull, lifeless. Sometimes we wear caps, hats and even wigs to disguise our baldness, because we feel ashamed of our hair and even experience humiliating situations in places that do not allow the use of caps and hats, especially in more sophisticated places. Due to such suffering experienced by millions of people, since exposing hair is inevitable, researchers sought the cause of hair problems.   So, after much research, the real cause of female hair loss is NOT the result of 'bad' genetics, aging, menopause... or even childbirth. The real reason you are losing your hair, may be due to a faulty signal inside the hair follicles. Hence the revolutionary 60-second "Rapunzel Ritual" that will help you regain the full, youthful hair you had in your 20s. To facilitate, in view of the purpose that guides this channel, to help the greatest number of people, I will leave in the description of this video and in the comments below, the official website for the purchase of the product HAIR THERAPY SHAMPOO (RITUAL RAPUNZEL). You just need to join this opportunity, to start a new story of overcoming and achievements. YOU ARE CAPABLE, GOD BLESS!!! 
∆ What is HAIR THERAPY?   It is a new shampoo from Clinical Effects designed to stimulate the growth of new follicular stem cells in women over 40 by repairing ruptured hair follicles to minimize the hair loss process.
∆ DOES HAIR THERAPY WORK? Yes, because the product contains in its formula natural ingredients and other revolutionary ingredients - stem cells which are the raw material that produces all other cells in our body - and are associated with youth and vitality.
∆ DOES HAIR THERAPY REALLY WORK? yes, as signaling molecules are released, sending an urgent message to your stem cells to grow more hair, they begin to divide and multiply... and new hair is formed. 
∆ IS HAIR THERAPY GOOD? yes, because we know that we have two hair phases, stage 1 ¨Anagen¨, known as the growth phase, as it is when you are in your 20s and 30s... your hair will be long effortlessly, flowing and silky. However, as you age, an increasing amount of hair leaves the anagen phase and instead moves into stage 2, the ¨Telogenous¨ phase, where the hair stops growing and the root hardens. Therefore, by applying Hair Therapy Shampoo daily, you can enjoy thicker and more voluminous hair using a blend of natural ingredients based on the Rapunzel Ritual. 
∆ HAIR THERAPY INGREDIENTS? Hair Therapy SHAMPOO is made with plant-based ingredients and revolutionary ingredients, among them: AnaGain, a phenomenal ingredient that stimulates the production of FGF7 at the root of the hair, to start growing new healthy hair; Baicapil which is a very special substance extracted from a herb called Chinese skullcap that increases cellular activity at the ROOT level, hair follicles are rejuvenated and energized from the inside out, restoring healthy signaling and giving your hair a more youthful and voluminous appearance; and Biotin which is an essential vitamin to heal brittle and fragile hair. 
∆ Can HAIR THERAPY SHAMPOO be used by vegans? Yes, as Clinical Effects NEVER test their products on animals, their manufacturing process is ethical and environmentally friendly. 
∆ How to use HAIR THERAPY SHAMPOO? The manufacturer recommends using the same Rapunzel's Ritual every morning, 60 seconds in the shower or bath, massaging the roots, which will leave rich organic nutrients in your hair. 
∆ HAIR THERAPY SHAMPOO PRODUCT REVIEWS? Many women claim to have noticed a significant difference in just two weeks after applying Hair Therapy shampoo. Their hair looks thicker and fuller. 
∆ DOES HAIR THERAPY HAVE A GUARANTEE? yes, if you get the product from the official website that I left in the description, it comes with a 180-day money back guarantee, which gives you six months to try it and see if it works.

How Much Does GFC Hair Treatment Cost In India, hair transplant in India
In the modern world, taking care of yourself has become a necessity. Physical attributions play a significant role in determining confidence and esteem. In recent decades, hair fall and thinning have become a major problem troubling countless people. To handle this, the famous hair transplant surgeon in Delhi Dr. Arvind Poswal, has come up with a variety of solutions and treatments. One such therapy that employs modern expertise is GFC treatment. This post encompasses detailed information on the meaning, process, and How Much Does GFC Hair Treatment Cost in India.
GFC Treatment: Brief Overview and Process
Growth Factor Concentration is a process for the natural regrowth of hair. This is a painless, efficient, and non-surgical process where patients with hair issues are treated. Individuals suffering from pattern baldness, hair thinning, and hair loss are exposed to this technique to regrow their hair. GFC treatment is ideal for men and women alike and is one of the most emerging hair growth therapies.
Tumblr media
In this method, the growth factors from the patient’s blood are employed to restore the health of his or her hair. At Dr. A’s Clinic, certain growth factors are collected from the blood after thorough testing. The doctor then injects the health growth factors onto the patient’s scalp over the area affected by hair loss. These growth factors naturally influence hair loss and thinning reversal. They promote restoration by improving blood supply, hair follicle health, and thickening hair density. The GFC hair treatment cost varies for each individual. The growth factors employed for rejuvenating hair in this therapy are:
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)
Epidermal growth factor (EGF)
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)
Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1)
Opt for this treatment if you’re worried about hair issues. Be it due to genetic history, medical conditions, or excessive shedding, this treatment is perfect.  Based on your overall health and the customized treatment provided, the GFC hair treatment price may vary.
Costs and Expenses of GFC Therapy in India
GFC therapy is available all over different locations in India. The average cost ranges anywhere between INR 20,000 to INR 1,00,000 per session. However, the exact GFC hair treatment cost in India varies depending on the number of sessions needed, which, in turn, depends on the extent of hair loss. Other components that directly or indirectly affect the cost include geographical location, number of sessions, customizations provided, the experience of the professionals, etc. Some clinics import GFC kits from abroad. This might add to the expenses needed for this therapy. Additionally, specific clinics charge different rates depending on the discounts and offers.
GFC Treatment Price Based on the Number of Sessions
The number of sessions you attend during the entire treatment process will influence the cost. In general, the GFC treatment price is around the approximate values listed in the table below:

General Factors Influencing GFC Treatment Costs
Various factors amount to the expenses required in this therapy. Depending on the entire process, GFC hair treatment cost can be estimated. So, when considering this therapy, check out the various factors that determine the price. Some of the factors that determine the expenses are described below:
Geographical Location
The primary parameter that determines the cost is the location of the clinic. If the medical center is located in a city or metropolitan area, the prices charged may be high. Likewise, if the area surrounding the clinic has a high cost of living, the service charges will be high. Additionally, each state may have variations in service fees due to geographical factors.
Intensity of hair loss
Hair loss may result from genetics or medical conditions. The amount charged for the therapy involves the extremity of hair loss. If the hair thinning or shedding is beyond control, the fee charged will likely be high. Additionally, certain medical conditions that cause hair fall need to be carefully dealt with during the process. This may also affect the costs.
Professional Expertise
If the professional is exceptionally qualified and has immense skills, he or she will charge higher fees. This is because the more experience, the greater the guarantee of an effective treatment. So, the fee charged may be high. Dr. Arvind Poswal, with his 25+ years of experience, is exceptionally skilled at GFC hair treatments. If you’re dealing with excessive hair fall issues, you can consult Dr. Arvind for top-notch treatments.
Duration of treatment
GFC hair treatment price will also be influenced by the number of sessions the patient requires. For optimal experience and satisfactory results, more than one session is recommended by professionals. This determines how long you have to receive the therapy and, therefore, affects the cost.
Technology employed
Some clinics around India make use of the highest technology like autologous GFC for this treatment. These techniques require equipment like a centrifuge machine and GFC kit, whose costs are generally higher. Various methods are also used during this therapy, like giving anesthetic injections or creams. This adds to the price of treatment.
Customizations and services provided
Tailored to the requirements of the patient, various customizations are provided. This involves pre- and post-treatment services. For instance, patients dealing with alopecia require more detailed inspection and care. This may, in turn, raise the expense of overall therapy.
Reputation of the Clinic
Another important parameter to determine the GFC treatment for hair cost is how reputed a clinic is. The more value and customer trust a clinic has, the higher its service charges will be. Likewise, how long the clinic has been operating in the hair transplant sector also influences the cost. Standing prominent, Dr. A’s Clinic has been renowned in Delhi for its hair transplant and treatment technologies since 1997.
Other factors
Most professionals and clinics offer discounts, package deals, and seasonal offers. Such factors affect the fees involved. Some hair transplant surgeons provide trial deals for patients. This is to let the patients see whether they should opt for GFC therapy or not. These trials may be relatively cheaper compared to regular sessions.
Sessions Required for Successful GFC Treatment
GFC therapy has a wide range of benefits compared to the old, conventional treatments. Not only is it painless, but it is also comfortable and safe. Moreover, countless individuals have benefitted from this therapy for their hair growth. Typically, to get optimal and effective results, you are required to have regular sessions. The number of sessions you have to attend will depend upon different parameters. For instance, the severity of hair loss and the health of your hair. Similarly, some medical conditions that cause hair fall need more time for the treatment to work than others.
The number of sessions and duration involved will influence the GFC treatment for hair cost. So, it’s important to note how long it takes for the therapy to show effective results. Typically, the GFC method needs 3-4 sessions on average for visible results. In some individuals, the hair follicles may need extra care. For this, booster doses are given to rejuvenate the overall health of the hair. This may add post-treatment sessions. Furthermore, medical specialists may recommend additional maintenance sessions to keep the strength and density of grafts and further revitalize them.
Thus, there are different parameters affecting the cost of GFC therapy. Which factor adds to the total cost of treatment depends on the individual battling hair loss. While numerous services are available around India, Dr. A’s Clinic is best when it comes to GFC treatment cost and excellent service. With over 2+ decades of expertise, Dr. Arvind Poswal is a reputed hair transplant doctor. He is known all over Delhi for his success rates when it comes to hair transplant in India.
