  • Unwanted Body Hair and the Male's Pride
    Men used to be proud of their body hair. Even in 1970 men perceived themselves as "macho" if they had a lot of body hair. Those times, however, are long gone and now anyone who would like to be elegant, or at least clean, need to reduce his body hair population. This trend has started among women, but whether we like it or not, we're in the middle of it right now.
  • Preventing Hair Loss With The Right Nutrition
    The immediate process that causes balding is the existence of dihydrotestosterone in the scalp. The main villain of this story is testosterone (DHT is its derivative) - DHT is created when testosterone contacts the follicles. This means that women are fairly safe, but most men are in danger of the hair loss. DHT prevents proper nutrition of the follicle and thickens the scalp, limiting the amount of blood that arrives there. Taken together, these are enough to cause hair to lose strength and eventually fall off.
