“Your hair is 90% of your Selfie!”

This is one catchy tag line which may strike a very sensitive chord of frustration. Although baldness is a problem for both men and women,  it is generally more common to men. Actually, there are several factors which may cause this dilemma.

Age
One very obvious cause of receding hairlines (or slight baldness) is of course, age. As people get older, hair gets thinner and weaker along the way. As you get older (and wiser!), hairline also moves up. According to recent studies, men generally start to have hair loss by age 30, and balding patterns become noticeable by age 60.

It’s in the genes!
Yes, you get it from your parents or grandparents. If you see them with the same situation before, then most likely, there is a higher possibility that when you get to reach a certain age, the same thing will happen to your hairline. Family history dictates whether you will inherit this trait or not.

Hormone Changes
Blame it on hormones, so they say. This scientific cause is one of the biggest reasons behind receding hairlines. The culprit is Testosterone, an androgen, which can convert to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Once DHT gets in contact with the hair follicles, it causes them to shrink in size. This affects the growth of hair, and the remaining hair becomes finer than usual in texture and will fall out and break more easily. DHT also inhibits growth, preventing new hair from sprouting.

The question now is what can we do to alleviate the situation? Or, is there a solution to this problem? Frankly speaking, there is no guaranteed cure yet for this concern. Implants can be done, but that is too pricey for most. Topical solutions may be considered as an alternative but, it may or may not work too.

Out of the blue, there is one natural ingredient which may help ease out your worries and may be worth a try. Coconut, the “tree of life” as they call it, can provide a viable solution to this perennial hair problem. The raw materials are grown and sourced out locally. Thus, it is an affordable choice.

1. It has detoxifying components (anti-fungal, anti-viral and antibacterial properties) which can prevent dandruff, leaving you with a healthier scalp.
2. Coconut oil is also a powerful moisturizer, not just for the skin, but also for the scalp as well. It contains lauric acid, capric acid, and other essential fatty acids, which can bind proteins in the hair, strengthening the roots and strands, and reducing breakage.
3. Massaging oil into the scalp will result to improved blood circulation. With this, hair receives the much needed oxygen and nutrients it needs, resulting to healthier scalp and inducing hair growth.
4. It is rich in anti-oxidants and vitamins E and K. These properties will leave hair softer and shinier.
5. As the coconut oil goes deep into the scalp, it will free the hair from frizz and split ends. One very vital component of coconut oil is the linoleic and oleic acids. Linoleic acid hydrates hair and improves elasticity, preventing breakage. Oleic acid helps to get thicker and stronger hair naturally.

Surprisingly, it has been known to contain all the healthy and beneficial properties which can aid us not just in getting a healthy and a better life, but also in alleviating the issue of receding hairlines and baldness.

So next time that you click on reverse camera on your phones, always remember the importance of having a healthy crown. It is an asset that can either make or break a good shot. No amount of filters or makeover application can replace a true and real, healthy hair. Vanity aside, taking care of your looks is not just for women, it is simply true for the hunky guys too!
