Can washing with hot water cause hair loss? The simple answer to this question is no. Washing with hot water cleans your hair and scalp more effectively than cold water.

How can I remove my DHT and balance hormones? In the short-term you can reduce DHT levels by taking a saw palmetto supplement — see my hair loss treatments page for more information.

Stress is a well known cause of hair loss. A study conducted in 2003 found that laboratory mice that were subjected to higher than average stress levels suffered greater rates of hair loss than those under normal conditions. Stress may seem to only effect the way you feel but it can also have a massive […]
Does a habit of pulling your hair with your fingers continuously and touching it time and again lead to hair loss ? There’s no problem with touching your hair, running your fingers through it and even gently pulling on it. It shouldn’t cause hair loss even if you do it very often. There are a […]
Following on from the post before last, here are five more things you should avoid if you don’t want to lose your hair. 1. Tight hats Wearing a tight hat that consistently pulls on your hair can train the hair roots to grow nearer and nearer to the surface of the skin. This won’t effect […]
Here’s a list of things you need to avoid if you want to prevent or stop hair loss. Some are obvious and some not so. 1. Stress When I say avoid stress, I don’t mean you should literally avoid all stressful situations. In fact, quite the opposite, you should embrace stress and fear and try […]

If you’re thinking about paying for a commercial hair loss treatment read this article first.

Hello. I am 26 years old. My hairline has been receding for about 6 years at the left and right temple areas. I still have the middle section of my hair (I’m not sure of the best way to describe it). Anyway, when I closely inspect my scalp, the entire receded area is still covered […]
There is some scientific evidence to suggest that masturbation can contribute to hair loss; however I don’t believe there is any 100% positive proof. In theory it does make sense that ejaculation can have an impact on the hair in men who have a genetically inherited sensitivity to DHT in their scalps. During sex or […]
Saw Palmetto is a herb of tropical origins that has long been used to treat a number of scalp and skin conditions. It has been noted for its ability to maintain a healthy skin as well as a treatment for reversing hair loss. It was used by native Americans who, it is thought, used it […]
Today’s most effective hair loss treatments almost always seek to tackle just one cause of hair loss. For example, topical Minoxidil products tackle weakened circulation in the scalp and herbal supplements like Propecia attempt to inhibit the conversion of testosterone into DHT. Although these treatments are clearly tackling known causes of hair loss, none of […]
This is a great question. There is a connection between acne and hair loss. Both are often caused by hormonal changes. Often this can mean that if you suffered from acne in your life you will also suffer from premature hair loss at some point in your life. Note that this is not always the […]

Have you ever noticed balding men’s scalp’s are almost always very tense and shiny?
There’s a very good reason for this.
Dieting can have a negative effect on hair growth. From my experience it seems that if dieting stresses your body it can cause hair loss. It’s more likely that the stress itself will cause the hair loss than the reduction in nutrient intake. However if you start an extreme diet the reduction in nutrients could […]
NO. That’s a big fat NO. It’s a common misconception, founded on people seeing hairs wash down the plug-hole, that washing your hair causes hair loss. But it doesn’t. In fact it’s important that you keep your scalp clean if you want to do everything you can to prevent hair loss caused by DHT. DHT […]
Evidence strongly suggests that stress is a major underlying cause of hair loss. Anxiety is a type of stress that comes in a variety of forms. Anxiety at low levels is a common part of daily life for everyone. For example you might feel some very minor anxiety that you’ll be late for work. Or […]
It is likely that DHT is a factor in your hair loss. From my experience you are likely to notice loss of hair numbers before you start to notice the thinning of individual hairs; however it is likely that you will start to notice the thinning of individual hairs in time. As a male with […]
Hi everyone, I’m afraid I won’t be too active on emails for the next two weeks as I’m on holiday. Sorry if you don’t get a reply for a while. Normal service will resume on 15th September. Until then all the best.
My eBook focuses largely on hormone based hair loss. Hormonal imbalance is one of the the underlying cause of ‘androgenic alopecia’ (hair loss relating to the male sex hormones). However my instructions are in fact highly relevant to female hair loss sufferers as well. Achieving well balanced hormones is vitally important for healthy hair growth. […]

There were times during the last five or six years when I thought I would never be able to stop my hair loss, no-matter what I did. I watched as my hair got thinner, despite trying an abundance of different hair loss treatments. It got quite demoralizing at times. But I never gave up. For […]

I have been receding for at least 20 years. I would say I’ve lost at least 40% of my hair. Is it still possible to reactive hair follicles after all that time? Do hair follicles eventually die or do they just go into a dormant state? Does age play apart in the recovery of hair […]
Thanks for your question. The answer to this is a little more complex than you might think. There are foods that you can consume that inhibit the conversion of testosterone into DHT. But really, you don’t want to have to do that. Ideally you wouldn’t need to. The three factors that lead to excess DHT
Please note: This post is from 2008 and may no longer be relevant. This is the brand new nicehair.org. This website is all about hair loss. The crucial difference between nicehair.org and most other hair loss websites is that nicehair.org almost entirely focuses on stopping hair loss by eliminating the underlying causes of hair loss.
