Hair Loss Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All and Neither Are the Causes
A cure for hair loss has escaped mankind for centuries, and not for want of effort. Science has laid out the intricacies of men’s hair—how it grows and what makes it fall out. Even so, there’s still no obvious, definitive cure for balding. It isn’t your fault, yet your hair loss is entirely about you. When it begins, the pattern it follows, how fast it progresses, and what might improve it all come down to nature and nurture—your body’s biology, your environment, and the life you lead.
What if baldness is cured tomorrow and you happen to be the one guy it doesn’t work for? At Elite Hair Loss Solutions, our team has mastered an ever-growing, continually advancing suite of the most effective hair restoration solutions in the world. When you come to us, we’ll put it to work for you. Cure or no cure, we’re here to solve your hair loss problem.
HOW HAIR GROWS AND WHY IT FALLS OUT
The Hair Growth Cycle: 4 Key Phases
Consider this hair loss 101—a prerequisite to fixing your hair loss. You can’t make a well-informed decision about restoration without first understanding exactly what’s happening to your hair. Once you know which methods reverse which causes, you can choose the outcomes you want and share your expectations with our team.
Grasping the natural hair growth cycle is essential to uncovering the causes of hair loss and pinpointing what might be disrupting it. When you understand what’s truly happening with your hair and scalp, you can make informed decisions about the results you want to achieve.
The 4 Cycles of the Hair Follicle
Phase 1: Anagen (Growing Phase)
Hair in the anagen phase is actively growing because the cells in its root are multiplying rapidly. New hair forms below the surface of the skin and pushes old “club” hairs out, which leads to normal shedding—roughly 100 strands of hair a day. Each new hair on your scalp should remain in the anagen phase for two to six years.
Phase 2: Catagen (Transition Phase)
Lasting two to three weeks, the catagen phase is the interim stage between active growth and rest. The hair’s outer root sheath separates from the follicle and attaches to the root of the hair. Since it’s no longer growing, the resulting hair is now what we call a club hair. Only about 3% of your hair should be in the catagen phase at any one time.
Phase 3: Telogen (Resting Phase)
Telogen hairs are club hairs that have finished growing. The individual shafts no longer have the potential to grow, though that isn’t necessarily true of their follicles. When more than 8% of the hairs on your head are in the telogen phase, we can generally conclude there’s a problem on the follicular level. Too many telogen hairs signal that your hair-growth cycle is out of balance.
Phase 4: Exogen (Shedding Phase)
In this final active shedding phase of the growth cycle, the resting “club” hairs actually detach from the follicle. This typically lasts anywhere from 2 to 5 months and it is distinct from the telogen phase and is actively controlled by the proteolytic (protein-breaking) enzymes which weaken the hair shaft cause it’s release.
COMMON CAUSES OF MALE HAIR LOSS
What’s Behind Your Hair Loss?
More than 95% of men’s hair loss is caused by a common condition called androgenetic alopecia. It is known as male pattern baldness. Elite Hair Loss Solutions offers complimentary hair and scalp analysis, that can often determine whether the possible cause of your thinning hair or if another.
In addition to male pattern baldness, possible causes of men’s hair loss can include:
- Alopecia Areata
- Alopecia Totalis
- Trichotillomania
- Scalp & Skin Conditions (e.g., eczema, psoriasis)
- Thyroid Imbalance
- Autoimmune Disorders
- Prescription Medications & Medical Treatments
- Chronic Stress
- Physical or Emotional Trauma

What Can You Do Next?
If we understand men’s hair loss and its causes so well, why isn’t there a cure? Part of the challenge in finding a cure for men’s hair loss is that different guys have different goals. Sure, everyone wants hair loss to disappear.
Beyond that, expectations differ widely. Since the possibilities aren’t the same for everyone, the conversation has to begin with what you truly want from your hair. The great news is that wherever your situation lands, Elite Hair Loss Solutions has an answer for you.

It’s easy to understand why there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Your balding and your hair restoration solution hinge on your unique circumstances. A professional skydiver won’t get much value from a conveniently easy-to-remove hair system. Some solutions will suit you better than others, and finding the right one takes careful consideration of you as an individual.
