Hair Loss - Tips for Success

Tuesday, 18 August 2009

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.

Hair Loss

Sunday, 16 August 2009

To all bald-headed men.

When you drive at night do you have to turn your head down to low beam?

Yes
there are many such thoughtless jokes about baldness
in both males and females. However
loss of head hair really is a problem
which causes a great deal of worry and unhappiness
to those afflicted.

Hopefully
there may be some help and answers for you
within this web site. It is often easier to reduce the ageing and thinning of healthy hair
than to regrow into follicles that are already dormant.

Reversing and preventing further hair loss may also be possible. Some products and techniques could be:

Topical ketokonazole
an anti-fungal/5-alfa inhibitor of reductase.
Finasteride and/or minoxidel
known in the United States as propecia and Rogaine
or Rogeine
respectively.
Placebos have average results
but not usually as high as other specific products
Hair cloning
or multiplication
using self replenishing follicle stem cells.
Hair transplants have been used for many years.
To lower androgen levels
aerobic exercises may be beneficial. This may also help stress reduction which can be an aid to slow the loss of hair.
Senanoa repens/saw palmetto
a DHT inhibit talk and a herb. Fewer side-effects and less expensive than products such as dutasteride
or finesteride.
Resveratrol is a lipase inhibitorl
made from grape skins.
Chinese herbs and Chinese medicine may be tried. Seek help from qualified acupuncturists
herbalists and holistic medicine practitioners.
Beta Sitosterol
found in oils of seeds
may also help by lowering cholesterol. Use an extract
as the heavy consumption of oils can aggravate the hairloss problem.

As we all know
baldness in males
is more common than females – thank goodness!

Baldness can be caused by a number of factors
including the trigger
an enzyme called 5-alfa reductase
which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone - DHT
which can inhibit growth in genetically fine hairs. Some female baldness may be a result of an oestrogen reduction. Oestrogen usually counteracts testosterones balding action. Tight ponytails and corn rows
could also contribute to female hair loss
as may constantly wearing a hat.

This short article can
in no way
cover the wide spectrum of causes and treatments for hair loss. Search the internet through search engines such as Google
etc and seek help from alternative health practitioners
as well as traditional western medicine.
