Putting an End to Hair Loss: Products for Hair Loss
But sometimes things go awry. You might begin to see thinning hair, or balding spots. If this is true for you, then there are steps you can take to prevent it, but you need to make sure you understand all of the underlying factors involved. By answering a few questions you can determine what the most likely cause is, and begin to address your hair loss. Here are a few things that you should do right now: 1. Check your diet. If you are not eating a balanced diet, your entire body will be affected, and your hair is a part of your body. Certain proteins, minerals, and oils are critical for normal hair health. 2. Get rid of stress. It's a common cause of hair loss, as is anxiety. While some of the stress in your life may be unavoidable, you can take steps to minimize its impact on your body. Exercise and relaxation techniques such as Yoga are helpful in reducing stress, creating better overall health and potentially impacting hair loss. 3. Hair loss can be a symptom of a disease - Lupus and Diabetes are two common causes. When hair loss appears to have no other cause, you need to check with your doctor. Diabetes and Lupus are more dangerous than the hair loss they cause. 4. How about mom and dad? Hair loss, particularly pattern hair loss, is partially a result of heredity, and heredity from both sides. Unfortunately, this one can't be reversed. 5. Fungal infections of the scalp can cause hair loss. Usually, you will see the signs of these on your scalp. Have them diagnosed and get them treated! 6. Don't wash your hair with caustic shampoos. The surfactant - the stuff that makes shampoo lather - contained in some shampoos can irritate the scalp. An irritated scalp produces less new hair to replace the hair that is aging and falling out, and thinning hair results. Look for shampoos that are gentle on your scalp and hair. 7. Hair treatments that destroy hair. Excessive blow drying, curling irons, permanents and hair coloring can stress hair so that existing hair falls out before it has matured. Once again, this interrupts the cycle of hair growth and replacement. The good news is - once you start treating your hair nice, it will fill back in. If none of the above applies to your case of hair loss, look at specific products for hair loss. There are three categories of these: 1. Pharmaceuticals designed to prevent loss of hair. There are a few over-the-counter solutions that have varying results with different people. They come in the form of pills, creams or shampoos, and most of them work for some population of subjects. Your job is to find one that works for you. 2. Natural remedies are available as well. Most of these include essential oils, that is, concentrated oils from specific plants. Provillus is a very good example of this method of hair loss treatment. Provillus is an oral supplement, which works to block DHT, a form of testosterone that is responsible for 95 percent of hair loss. It also works to stimulate the scalp and bring dead follicles back to life. You can use Provillus as a preventative tool, starting the program before hair loss becomes severe, or you can use it after DHT has already begun to take hold of your hair and scalp. You can get it at www.provillus.com. 3. Surgical hair modification. This can be very expensive and time consuming. It requires a number of visits to the doctor's office, some mild pain, and about $10,000. Hair transplant surgery works - but you should consider it your last option should all else fail. Try the least expensive and lifestyle change options first. If they work, you have saved yourself time and money. But don't sit on the situation too long - hair loss can be a symptom of something more serious. -->
