People can often lose 50% of their hair before it even becomes noticeable. YES, I SAID 50%.
It’s kind of scary to think about waking up one day only to realize that half your hair is gone.
The first sign you might see is a changing hairline. Have you checked yours lately? Is your hairline going from flat to more v-shaped?
Over 35 million men in the United States are affected by male pattern baldness and by the age of 35, approximately 66 percent of men will have experienced some degree of hair loss.
What about you? Have you found yourself somewhere in this scale of male pattern baldness yet?
Instead of obsessing over your hairline in the mirror every day, what if you could just find out if hair loss is in your DNA?
Hair loss can be passed down genetically from either of your parents.
This is actually great news because it means that you can find out your likelihood of experiencing this issue early on and identify the strategies that are most likely to prevent your hair from falling out (and help it grow back, if it’s already started!).
Ladies – unfortunately, you aren’t exempt from this issue either. 40% of all women will experience hair loss or thinning by the age of 40…and the ROOT cause (no pun intended) is often the same…your genes!

The Genetics of Hair Loss
There are many genetic variants that impact the hair growth cycle and hair follicle health.
For example, the COPB2 gene increases the production of a protein that regulates the hair growth cycle. When operating optimally, this protein maintains the balance between cell growth and cell death, ensuring normal hair growth.
However, certain genetic variants likely reduce COPB2 activity, which leads to an unbalanced hair growth cycle and ultimately, baldness.
Fortunately, just because you’ve got “bad” hair growth genes doesn’t mean you’re destined to be bald!
There’s specific changes you can make now to counteract the negative effects from your genes.
When it comes to the COPB2 gene, studies showed that applying saw palmetto products topically could increase production of the COPB2 protein and actually improve hair density.
That’s just 1 of the 38 genes that have been connected to hair loss.
Our scientists have studied all 38 of these genes and we’re excited to announce our BRAND NEW comprehensive Hair Loss DNA Report that provides you with personalized recommendations to combat your negative genetic variants.
I, for one, will definitely be making a few changes. Just take a look at my results!
