Introduction to Hair:
Hair is a type of protein filament that grows through epidermis from follicles deep within the dermis and hair is one of the defining characteristics of the mankind.
Hair Growth Cycle:
We mainly are considering Human Scalp Hair. Hair is maintained in humans through definite pattern called Hair Growth Cycle. This cycle is important in Hair Maintenance or Hair Care.
- Anagen: The growth phase
- Catagen: The falling phase
- Telogen: The resting phases
At a given time around 85% of hair will be in growth phase and 5-7% in falling phase.
What are causes of hair loss?
- Alopecia areata (patches of baldness that usually grow back)
- Traction alopecia (thinning from tight braids or ponytails)
- Trichotillomania (the habit of twisting or pulling hair out)
- Tinea capitis (fungal infection)
Androgenetic alopecia ("male-pattern baldness," "female-pattern baldness")
Hair loss is due to hormonal factors such as DHT (di-hydro-testosterone) is called Androgenetic Alopecia. This will affect both men and women. Some women will carry excessive male hormones and these hormones will result in DHT hence contributing to hair loss.

Hair First – Forte addresses all possible causes of Hair Fall
Saw palmetto acts like finesteride by inhibiting the enzyme 5reductase by preventing testosterone to get converted into Di-hydoro-testosterone which is responsible for thinning of hair, hair loss and causing alopecia.
Benefits in hair loss:
- Inhibiting DHT is the main goal in any hair loss treatment
- Unlike drugs, Saw palmetto maintain androgenic balance in the body hence control testosterone to get converted into DHT, because it is rich in fatty acids.
- There are two types of DHT, type 1 is predominantly deposited in scalp and type 2 is responsible for Prostate enlargement in men
- Saw Palmetto extract is effective in both the types, hence it is effective in preventing hair loss
Biositosterol is rich in Poly Unsaturated Fatty Acids and PUFAs also inhibit DHT activity. They are also useful as anti-inflammatory, especially by inhibiting Lipo-oxygenase path way. Hence they are useful even in Auto immune disorders like Alopecia Areata
Biotin is a major component in the natural hair manufacturing process -- it is essential to not only grow new hair, but it also plays a major role in the overall health of skin and nails.
Biotin is a vitamin B and it is present in foods like eggs and liver.

Biotin is a member of the B-vitamin family. It assists in the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates and protein. It serves as a critical component of several enzymes and is involved in energy metabolism. The major benefit of biotin however, is its ability to strengthening hair and nails.
Men and Women who are experiencing hair loss may be able to keep their hair longer and promote hair growth by taking a biotin supplement or hair vitamins containing biotin.
