hair loss women

Billions of dollars will be spent on hair loss solutions this year. Much of this money will go to waste. Ineffective products and misleading advertising are only partially to blame. Many consumers are not using these hair loss products in an effective way. Fortunately there are a few simple ways that consumers can increase their chance of success. Following these guidelines will ensure that your money does not go to waste:

Start a Journal

People usually try several different hair loss products before they find something that works for them. Many use two or more products simultaneously. Keeping track of all this information can be frustrating and difficult. The best way to figure out what is working is to keep a journal detailing your progress. You should record all relevant information about the treatment process: when you started
the dosage
cost
and any side effects you experience. This documentation will tell you which products are effective
which ones are not
and allow you to make changes as you see fit.

Take Pictures

Noticing small changes in your hairline over time is extremely difficult. Taking pictures on a regular basis is the most effective ways to track your progress. Always photograph your head from the same angle
in similar lighting conditions. Use a digital camera for best results
most will automatically record the date and time for you. When combined with a treatment journal
these photos provide an invaluable tool that will allow you to judge the effectiveness of products you use.

Do Your Homework

The Internet is flooded with products claiming to cure and treat hair loss. Finding out which ones are legitimate can be a difficult task. When researching products online
beware of those that sound too good to be true. If the company has before and after pictures
examine them closely. If the images were shot from different angles
or in different lighting
be suspicious. These techniques are common camera tricks used to fool the eye
and the consumer. When a company claims their product has a "98% success rate"
look for documentation of their clinical study. If the clinical information they provide is vague
or even missing altogether
be wary.

If you follow these steps during your treatment
your chances of success are excellent. One last tip - any successful regimen requires dedication. Whatever the treatment is
carefully follow the instructions from your doctor or the product manufacturer.
