Each day, we lose between 50 and 100 hairs while new ones grow in. If you suddenly begin losing more hair than you are regrowing, it becomes noticeable hair loss. Hair loss in men can vary depending on where it occurs. Some men start experiencing hair loss as early as in their 20s or 30s, while others may not notice it until later in life.
Genetics:
Hair loss in men is often genetically determined and is also known as androgenic alopecia or male pattern baldness. This is caused by sensitivity to the male hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which can cause hair follicles to shrink over time, resulting in thinner and shorter hair. Men with a family history of baldness are at greater risk of experiencing early hair loss. At ZENZ, we recognize the importance of understanding the genetic component of male hair loss and offer tailored products and treatments to help strengthen the hair and delay the hair loss process.
Illness and stress:
Illness and stress can also contribute to hair loss in men. Serious illnesses, surgery, or medical treatments can impact the body’s immune system and hormone levels, leading to temporary hair loss known as telogen effluvium. Chronic stress can also affect the hair’s growth cycle and cause increased shedding. At ZENZ, we understand the importance of managing stress and maintaining overall health through a balanced lifestyle, and we offer products that support hair wellness during times of illness and stress.
Hair products and product buildup in hair follicles:
Using inappropriate hair care products or excessive styling products can lead to product buildup in the hair follicles, which may block hair growth and cause hair loss. It's important to choose gentle products that do not clog the follicles. At ZENZ, we offer natural and mild hair care products that help maintain a healthy scalp and promote hair growth.

Diet and exercise:
A healthy diet and regular exercise also play a vital role in hair health for men. A lack of essential nutrients such as proteins, vitamins, and minerals can impact hair growth and strength. Additionally, excessive training or extremely low body fat can disrupt hormone balance and contribute to hair loss.
At ZENZ, we believe in a holistic approach to hair health and offer products and advice that support a healthy lifestyle and promote well-being and hair vitality in men.
