Follicle length is a determinant of the length of the growth phase for a particular hair—shorter follicles produce shorter hairs like those found on the arms and face of a child. In the adolescent male, the facial and main trunk hairs which are genetically designed to grow are stimulated by the production of testosterone to produce deeper follicles resulting in stronger hair in those areas.
Unfortunately, the same reaction will reduce the scalp follicles and hairs. Treatments using a strong drug stimulant can improve the length of those hairs by up to 100 percent—thereby doubling the length of the hair—whilst it is applied, but once treatment with the drug product is stopped, the next generation of hair will return to, at most, its genetically shortened length.
Contributing Factors to Receding Hair Loss
Contributory factors of a receding hairline can include illnesses characterized by high fever (for example typhoid and scarlet fevers), chemotherapy, malnutrition, and glandular disorders can all cause premature receding hair loss. Seeking advice about the condition and obtaining a receding hair loss treatment for the disease or dysfunction will usually work in stopping the loss of hair. If the scalp and follicles are not severely damaged, or worse, already dead, then it is possible to see regrowth spontaneously. Infection of the scalp, oiliness or dirtiness of the scalp and hair, as well as excessive teasing and lacquering of hair are also conducive to baldness.
