HairDX - the genetic test for hair loss
I happened to catch this small news article in a local paper about a company that performs genetic testing for hair loss. Well, since I’m a young man already lacking the capillary splendor of previous years, it caught my eye.
HairDX is a genetic testing company that will let you know if you are prone to hair loss. They describe themselves as follows:
HairDX is the first genetic test to privately and confidentially determine if you have the genetic variations associated with early onset hair loss (Pattern Baldness).
So, for about $150 you can order a cheek swab kit and then send it back for analysis. This price is rather cheap compared to all the products available on the market that many people use week after week without any good results.
So, in the long run, taking the test can actually save you a load of cash. That is if you are a consumer of anti- hair loss products.
Although I’ve never actually purchased products to counter my hair loss tendency, I’m sure the hair loss products industry is a booming business. Specially with the growing number of beauty and care products for men like skin creams.

Hair loss is no fun. I have had alopecia for years and here is a bit of information for those who also have this conditon. When you have alopecia areata the affected hair follicles are mistakenly attacked by a person’s own white blood cells or immune system, which results in the arrest of the hair growth stage. When you have Alopecia, it usually starts with one or numerous round small bald patches on the scalp and can actually progress to a total loss of hair on your head, or a complete loss of body hair.Alopecia areata can occur in almost anyone, male or female, and all races. Beginning in childhood, this annoying hair disease can be psychologically devastating. Thankfully, alopecia is not life-threatening, but can certainly alter your lifestyle with its sudden onset, and the frequency of reoccurring episodes can be immensely annoying.
