Hair Loss Solutions - How To Help Stop Hair Loss And Regrow Hair

By Danna Schneider

Hair loss and male-pattern baldness is an affliction suffered
by thousands of men, and can be a real source of insecurity and
embarrassment for those not ready to lose their hair or shave
their head. Even worse, and more devastating are the younger
cases where the hair loss process begins long before a man even
reaches his thirtieth birthday. So what are your options if you
are one of these men, uncontrollably losing your hair before
your time?

Well, you can do what many others do – shave your head for the
sake of uniformity. Lots of men look great with a shaved head –
it just fits their personality and style, and they seem
comfortable that way. For those unwilling to give up on their
hair, there are hairpieces or plugs, neither of which have been
perfected to the point of being undetectable, and both having a
societal stigma as being somewhat tacky and undesirable.

The other option, of course, is to try one of the hair loss
products that several reputable manufacturers now offer, both
in prescription and nonprescription form. While there is still
no “magic pill” that can unflinchingly promise every man (and
woman) who takes it will re-grow their hair, there are some
very promising and effective hair loss products and treatments
currently on the market and also in development.

Propecia, Rogaine (Monoxadil), Avacor and Proxiphen are just a
few of the top prescription and nonprescription hair loss
products on the market today, and they’ve all had varying
degrees of success in re-growing their client’s hair. Since the
demand for hair loss products is so great, there have been many
non-prescription hair loss alternatives recently introduced in
an effort to offer men (and women) a more economical and
convenient alternative to re-grow hair and prevent further hair
loss.

There are also several vitamins that have been specially
formulated both for thinning hair and to promote the speedy
growth of healthy, shiny hair. Vitamins for thinning hair and
faster hair growth and re-growth are usually a varying
combination of several key amino acids, biotin, vitamins B6 and
E, and zinc. Many who take vitamins of this nature do report
thicker, more lustrous and healthy hair, but if your goal is to
actually re-grow hair and not just thicken thinning hair, then
you would probably want to consider a more serious hair loss
supplement or treatment that specifically targets balding and
hair loss.

Here's a little tip to help stimulate hair growth – massage the
scalp. This is an age-old hairstylist tip to help stimulate the
hair follicles, unclog any blocked oil glands in the scalp, and
help promote a healthy scalp and new, healthy hair growth. Plus,
it’s relaxing and it feels good, so it’s not such a chore!

Hair loss supplements can range from pricey to reasonable,
tested and untested, and clinically proven vs. not clinically
proven. You have to use good judgment and do a little homework
on the internet, or by reading consumer reviews, testimonials
and surveys to see what really should work best for your
situation. Some even offer money back guarantees or some sort
or money back for unused portions.

Now, let’s talk about being proactive in preventing future hair
loss. Many times, the underlying cause for premature hair loss
and male pattern balding is hereditary, but it can also be
brought on by a hormonal imbalance of the male or female
hormones, known as androgens and estrogens. Correcting a
hormonal imbalance many times can stop hair loss. This example
can be seen in women who notice hair loss shortly after they’ve
had a baby. The cause for this is a drop in hormones that kept
much more hair on the head than normal during pregnancy because
the levels of this hormone are unusually high at this time.

Some medications can also cause or aggravate hair loss.
Typically these medications are blood thinners, gout
medication, chemotherapy medications for cancer, too much
vitamin A, birth control pills and antidepressants. Avoid tight
or “pulling” hairstyles like high or tight ponytails and
cornrows, and also stay away from harsh chemical treatments
such as perms and other potentially volatile, damaging hair
treatments.

Typical hair loss treatments, prescription and nonprescription,
usually take about six months before you can tell they are
working, so patience is a must. There is no overnight fix to
hair loss unfortunately. As long as you are comfortable with
your chosen hair loss remedy, and have planned a preventative
and maintenance course of action, that’s really all that
matters.
