    Healthy Hair growth today is attributed to quite a few factors stress, genetics, age, hormones pollution.. they all have the ability to effect strong hair or the ability to create major hair loss... I'm interested in the internal factor and what causes hair loss, as you get older it's blamed on the increase in testosterone, women normally up until they reach middle age in general has it balanced out by oestrogen levels, that is until the onset of menopause. But I'm curious...in men testosterone if anything is the reason why areas of the body grow thicker hair which is normally why they usually have larger areas covered by hair and in youth some women who exhibit unusal levels of testosterone grow hair more in areas like men and the hairs more darker and thicker, so my question is why then at menopause women face hair loss and receding hairlines due to this hormone, yet in certain areas like the face chin upper lip hair starts to become more prevalent ???
