Men's strategies

• What can you do about hair loss? Men pursue different strategies depending on their age.
• The body’s natural molecule thiocyanate is effective at any age ² .
• Thiocyn hair serum can be used to prevent hair loss* and can stimulate new hair growth.

About half of all men will experience hair loss at some point in their lives. The cause in 90% of cases is androgenetic alopecia, or hereditary hair loss. Young men are still somewhat hesitant when it comes to finding a remedy for hair loss and gradual hair loss because they aren't yet able to fully assess the risks. By the age of 30, men definitely don't want to accept thinning hair and a bald head. A new, fascinating way to control hair loss is the natural, endogenous molecule thiocyanate.

What men do to combat hair loss

In their search for the causes of their hair loss, men learn that in androgenetic alopecia, the hair roots on the top of the head react sensitively to a derivative of the male sex hormone testosterone, DHT. The hair cycle becomes overdriven, the hair miniaturizes, and a receding hairline, a tonsure, and eventually, a bald patch develops. To halt hair loss and prevent irreversible hair loss* To avoid this, men pursue different strategies depending on their age.

Young men around 20

Hereditary hair loss in men is anything but surprising. If brothers, fathers, and grandfathers have little or no hair, the likelihood is high that the younger brother will also be affected by hereditary hair loss. Since their own hair thins only slightly after puberty compared to that of their relatives, and hair loss is hopefully in the very distant future, young men often choose a strategy of denial when experiencing mild hair loss: "Let's wait and see, it won't be that bad."

When the first major hair loss flare-up begins around the age of 20, it's no longer ignored. Young men often turn to a special shampoo. The shampoo's cleansing and conditioning lotion delivers active ingredients to combat hair loss directly to the scalp and hair. The problem: The ingredients in these shampoos, such as caffeine, plant extracts, and argan oil, are immediately washed out. Their effect on the hair is very short-lived.

Men over 30

The desire to stop hair loss and grow hair eventually leads to considering a better diet. A balanced diet is essential. Nutritional supplements are often consumed. However, vitamins, minerals, and especially trace elements alone are not enough to normalize the overactive hair cycle. It is estimated that food in a well-stocked supermarket contains around 10,000 different nutrients. Supplements containing only a few isolated nutrients cannot replace a well-balanced diet.

Men over 40

When the areas with visible scalp gain the upper hand in the fourth and fifth decades of life, men increasingly consider hair transplantation. DHT-resistant hair follicles from the crown of the head are transplanted to the top of the head. Highly experienced hair surgeons also attempt hair transplants on men in their mid-20s, even if hair loss hasn't yet stopped. The prerequisite: There must be enough donor hair available for two to three transplants. The second transplant would take place in the mid-30s, and the third and final transplant would take place in the mid-40s, after the second major hair loss phase.

Men's strategy against hair loss*: Thiocyanate

A promising approach to hair loss* is the thiocyanate active formula in Thiocyn Hair Serum. Thiocyanate is multi-talented: In the human organism, it has an anti-inflammatory and cell-stabilizing effect on cells. Prof. Dr. Axel Kramer was able to demonstrate through his basic research that thiocyanate has the ability to balance imbalances in cellular metabolism.

Thiocyanate cannot eliminate the causes of hair loss*, but it can compensate for disruptive factors. The original molecule is gender-neutral and works equally well in both men and women. As long as the hair follicles are active and can be activated, it is possible to prevent hair loss* and stimulate hair growth with thiocyanate.
