Hair Today, (not necessarily) Gone Tomorrow

Kérastase Men

Kérastase’s men’s line can help with thinning hair.

Thinning hair can be a concern for men of all ages. But there are proven treatments that can help. Minoxidil is a hair loss treatment that uses nitric oxide, although as a chemical analog instead of in its original gas form. But what about lesser known options?

L-arginine is one of the 20 most common natural amino acids in the human body. It is called semi-essential amino acid since our body learns to synthesize it only after birth. Stress, trauma, sepsis and aging are common factors that necessitate L-arginine supplementation to supplement the level of the amino acid synthesized in the body, and L-arginine is a popular amino acid supplement. It is used for 4 main reasons: to quicken healing, to repair damaged tissues, to decrease blood pressure and serving as a precursor of the nitric oxide, an important vasodilator in the body.

L-Arginine can be used as a topical hair loss treatment, as it increases the level of nitric oxide in the body. Because L-arginine improves capillary blood circulation through the vasodilation attributed to its product, nitric oxide, it is believed that the improved perfusion of the cells of hair follicles contributes to hair regrowth by stimulating the production of new hair follicles.
