On average, there are 100 000 hairs on human scalp. Hair grows 1-2 cm a month and grows from 3 to 6 years. On a typical day, about 50-100 hairs are lost and it is normal. But if you notice that the number of hair falling out is bigger it may mean that you start suffering from one of types of baldness. A hair consists of a root (a part of a hair under the skin) and a stalk (a part of a hair above the skin). Inside a hair there is protein called keratin.

Nanofibres of Nanogen are also made from keratin. Thanks to it, fibres give your hair very natural and healthy appearance.

1. Male pattern baldness or alopecia (in men and women)
   
   Alopecia is the most frequent type of baldness and afflicts about 60% men above the age 50. Generally genetic factors are responsible for alopecia as well as it is caused by male hormone, testosterone, which after changing into dihydrotestosterone, attacks hair roots causing their decrease. As a result, hair roots produce weaker and weaker hair and in the end roots and then hair disappears.
   
   As for men, baldness occurs in a characteristic pattern on the scalp: hair loss usually begins at the temples and at the top of head towards the back, causing a receding hairline and a bald spot. In case of women, hair starts to become thinner from the middle of their head.The most efficient treatment against alopecia available on the market is minoxidil which is included in many medications such as Piloxidil, Loxon or Regain.
   
   You can also prevent excessive hair loss by taking pills. Recently the most popular medication is finasteride. Finasteride helps to block androgen - dependent degradation of hair roots. It is available under the name of Propecia or Proscar. However, the latter has also a different application and the hair loss prevention is just a side effect. But before starting taking any medication first consult your doctor.
   
   If you want to use Nanogen suffering from this kind of baldness it is necessary for you to determine the level of thinning hair. You must remember that Nanogen gives the best effect with midium-thinned hair.
   
   If alopecia is not treated it may lead to complete baldness in the middle of a head and then hair transplantation is the only chance to conceal bald spot. However, after the operation your hair will never regain the original density. So in order to have natural and dense hair doctors recommend to use Nanogen. By joining the two methods together you can obtain a really good appearance of your hair. The other method which also can be applied when the bald areas are significant is non-surgical hair supplement.
   
   Nanogen turns out to be great after hair transplantation.
   
   
2. Hair loss caused by extreme stress, poor nutrition or certain diseases (in men and women).
   
   Some people lose hair despite the fact they are not genetically predisposed. In that case hair loss may be caused be extreme stress, poor nutrition, lack of vitamins or some diseases. This type of baldness leads to some thinning of hair but not to complete hair loss. Hair stops falling out the moment the result of stress is gone.

3. Hair loss connected with hormones disorder (in women)
   
   In case of women the hair loss may be also caused by hormones disorder. Hair falls out from the whole area of head, mostly from the middle part. It often results in thin hair. This type of hair loss usually occurs in women during the menopause or after the childbirth. One of the efficient treatment is Piloxidil, Loxon or Regain.
   
   Even here Nanogen will help enormously to conceal patches of thin hair.
   
   
4. Alopecia areata (in men and women)
   
   Alopecia areata leads to patchy hair loss on the scalp. It is supposed that the causes of alopecia areata are connected with the body's immune system which attacks the hair roots. Alopecia areata often disappears of its own accord.
   
   Unfortunately here Nanogen will not help. But it is possible that Nanofibres will make the appearance of hair look a bit better.
   
   In short, Nanogen can be used in all types of hair loss. But what you should bear in mind that the best effects of Nanogen are obtained with medium-thinned hair.
