David Marowny has written The Many Ways To Treat Hair Loss and writes "Baldness and hair loss is a problematic condition for a large majority of the male population. At a research study held in a university in Virginia, men suffering from hair loss described feelings of vulnerability, helplessness, and jealousy of men with full, healthy hair. But not only men have to deal with hair loss. There are millions of women worldwide also suffering from hair loss. Propecia is considered to be the best hair loss solution especially for men. It is unsafe in pregnant women as it causes birth defectsin the new born. Impotency and lack of sex drive when taking Propecia are the main side effects observed among men.

Another hair loss solution available in drugstores or pharmacies is “Hair Genesis”. The formulation in Hair Genesis works by blocking key androgen receptor sites in the hair follicle from damage caused by DHT. Hair Genesis is available as a topical serum, shampoo, oral supplement and conditioner..

FNS is another hair loss solution available without prescription. The active ingredients in this hair loss solution is a mixture of amino acids, vitamins and minerals.

Use Propecia for Making Hair Loss a Problem of Past

Alan Anderson has written Use Propecia for Making Hair Loss a Problem of Past and writes "Male pattern baldness is a common disease; its victims are in millions. Androgenic Alopecia, Alopecia in men; Baldness-male and Hair loss in men are some other names of this disease. Due to male pattern baldness hair become thin and fall easily. Slowly, remaining hair acquire shape of ‘M’ on head. Many associate this disease with age and stress but both of these factors don’t play any important role in male pattern baldness. After achieving puberty, male pattern baldness can occur anytime. Late 20’s to early 30’s is the phase of life when male pattern baldness is most likely to occur.

Testosterone is a hormone, secreted in the body of a male child to start the process of puberty. Development of muscles on chest, thighs, biceps; generation of pubic hair, moustaches, beard and stimulating the growth of genital organs are the few major changes brought by testosterone. Though, testosterone starts the growth of pubic hair, moustaches and beard, but its synthesis into DHT after accomplishment of its task, is murderous for hair of the head. DHT contracts size of hair follicles in the scalp and contracted hair follicles cannot hold and nourish hair, hence hair loss takes place..

Progress of male pattern baldness is slow; slowness of the disease keeps people ignorant about hair fall. Thus, as a general phenomenon no preventive measure is taken against male pattern baldness. But, male pattern baldness can be treated with the help of Propecia. Propecia (finasteride) is a steroid Type II (α) reductase which synthesizes DHT into 5-Alpha DHT. Five-Alpha DHT is not a harmful substance for your hair. Propecia is a FDA approved oral-prescription drug. Approval of FDA is a mark of effectiveness and safety of this drug Propecia which is used for treating hair loss.

Propecia pills come in the volume of 1mg and doctor generally prescribes for the same volume for hair loss treatment. One pill of Propecia should taken daily with a glassful of plain water, empty stomach is not needed before taking the dosage of Propecia. Chewing, breaking and crushing Propecia can bring some harmful changes in the chemical matrix of the drug; therefore these activities must be avoided. Overdosing Propecia in any case is strictly prohibited.

Pruritus, hypersensitivity, and swelling of lips can be listed out as side effects of Propecia. The side effects are mild, short-lived and disappear after the use of drug for a few days. It is necessary to get doctor’s advice before using Propecia for hair loss. As exact results of Propecia on an embryo are not known therefore, while using Propecia sexual contact with the motive of having a child must be avoided.

Conventional method of drug purchase is tedious, time consuming and money devouring, because you have to visit to a local pharmacist, who can charge relatively more price. An online purchase of Propecia saves time and also saves money. You can place your order through usage of a computer and online pharmacy delivers the drug at your doorstep.

Laser Treatment to stop Hair Loss

Ally Wied has written Laser Treatment to stop Hair Loss and writes "Hair loss, many people tried to stop it. We can find abundance amount of hair loss remedies in the market today. The basic components in hair loss treatment that have been approved by the FDA are Minoxidil and Propecia. Minoxidil is used to stimulate hair growth and Propecia is worked as a DHT inhibitor. Both men and women can use Minoxidil; men can use Propecia only.

Some users report their satisfactory using one or combination from both hair loss drugs. Still, they want to reduce their hair loss amount especially who can use only Minoxidil, because Minoxidil does not stop hair loss.

Laser treatment in a form of a hair comb is being used to stop hair loss. The device is a comb with some light emitted in certain wavelength. The wavelength indicates a laser light penetration ability to skin surface. For hair treatment, the laser light should be reached the hair bulbs, which are located at 5-6 mm depth. That’s why most laser for hair product use 650 nm wavelength. Wavelength is measured in nm (nanometer)

The Light Emitting Diodes (LED) is the laser light source. It made the energy in the forms of non-thermal photon light. The released energy is used to accelerate normal healing process in our body. The body will absorb the energy in a cellular level.

Laser treatment for daily use to stop hair loss is considered safe when the treatment is used within the suggested dosage. Recommended use is not more than five minutes combing per day.

Even though the exact mechanism of laser treatment for hair loss is not known for sure, some people has progressed in their hair loss problems. Many clinics and hair loss treatment centers provide laser treatment as an additional treatment to their patients. The laser treatment is used to prevent further hair loss. While the new hair growth is in process, the existing hair is kept on the scalp as long as possible

In hair loss treatment center, hair loss treatments are using laser hair comb to reduce the hair loss amount and applying serum or tonic contained drugs or natural herb extracts. Combining both treatments will make a good synergy in overcoming hair loss problems.

Useful tips from a trichologist in using laser treatment at home:
*Wash your hair
*Dry it before applying cleanser (using hair dryer in a cold mode is recommended to save time)
*Do laser treatment not more than 5 minutes
*Apply hair tonic or serum to increase hair growth.

Hair Growth Vitamins and Minerals

Brad Jones has written 'Hair Growth Vitamins and Minerals' and writes "There is some evidence from a few small studies that the western diet has changed significantly in the last 20 years and there are certain vitamin and mineral deficiencies likely to be found in a typical American diet.

There are nutrients and herbs that have the potential to affect hair growth in a positive or negative way. There are three basic ways that nutritional diet vitamin supplements and amino acid supplements may act influence the hair follicles. The mineral rich and vitamin supplements may act directly on hair stimulating or inhibiting growth activity or they may act indirectly through other intermediaries. For example, a vitamin supplement or herb may influence the production of a hormone to which hair follicles are sensitive. This change in hormone activity in turn may change the activity of the hair follicles..

Some minerals and vitamins can influence the activity levels of another vitamin and minerals. For example, intake of lysine, vitamin B12 and vitamin C help in absorption of other factors like iron. It is worth bearing in mind that the complexity of the body means there are many potential interactions for even the simplest nutrient.

Vitamins for hair & hair growth
Since Vitamin C, helps the absorption of other factors, it is of some significance. Others are of secondary importance to hair growth like vitamin E. Vitamin E is necessary to provide good blood circulation to the scalp by increasing the uptake of oxygen. Not fundamentally required in a hair growth supplement, vitamin E is often present largely because people expect to see it in the ingredients - and the customer is always right!

Other common ingredients like the amino acids - L-Cysteine and L-methioine are of questionable value. Although they are fundamentally required for good hair growth, even a rather unhealthy diet should provide enough of these amino acids and supplementation is rarely required.

Vitamin supplements’ vitamins
The supplement industry is worth several billion dollars a year and it is still growing rapidly. Vitamin supplements, mineral supplements and herbal supplements available on net come in all shapes and forms, many of which are specifically advertised to promote healthy hair growth.

These ‘vitamin supplements’ vitamins are marketed by different names such as liquid vitamin supplements, natural vitamin supplements, daily vitamin supplements, nutritional vitamin supplements and also by such names as mail order vitamin supplements or best vitamins supplements.

But the for the most part, with a few notable exceptions like vitamin A & Folic acid, taking these supplements probably does not harm hair growth. But whether they can really help promote hair growth depends on what the actual cause of the hair loss is and how the supplements or active ingredients in herbs interact with the hair follicles.

Vitamin and herbal supplements
To buy online health supplements or herbal treatment requires you to go for quality. Unfortunately there is no universal method by which quality supplements can be identified. So it is best to depend upon the natural vitamins supplements or fresh foods.

Typically, vitamins and minerals are most concentrated in fresh foods, the older the food is, and the more processed it is, the less nutritious it is. So in principle, the average diet of the early twenty first century may be more deficient in certain nutrients required for healthy hair growth compared to the average diet of the mid to late twentieth century, but it should be emphasized that vitamin and mineral deficiency is still rarely a cause of hair loss.

Hair loss vitamins & minerals
In other words, do not waste your time on searching for vitamin supplements on net unless you have a deficiency detected by a blood test. A comprehensive test for vitamin and mineral levels when one or more is suspected as a cause of hair loss would include; serum iron, serum ferritin, and total iron binding capacity, serum zinc. The deficiency which directly affects hair growth can be related to vitamin (H) biotin, Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12. You can go for testing for others if they are on offer, but biotin and B6 testing is enough to cover 95% of vitamin deficiencies related to hair loss. And only when such a deficiency is detected by the tests that you need to buy and eat the ‘vitamin supplements’ vitamins. So the bottom line is that it is better to have the natural supplements through a balanced diet.

The author is involved with the hair growth research, he is also writing on subjects like the nutrition, amino acid supplements and nutritional diet vitamin supplements and herbal supplements to educate people so that they don’t fall an easy prey to the hordes of synthetic nutrient growth supplements advertised on internet.

About Hair Loss Vitamins'

Boyd Adams has written 'About Hair Loss Vitamins' and writes "A complete diet chart incorporates six basic nutrients and two essential non-nutrient components, listed below:

Six basic nutrients:

1. Carbohydrates
2. Fats
3. Proteins
4. Vitamins
5. Minerals
6. Trace Elements

Two essential non-nutrient components:

1. Fiber
2. Water

Generally, most of the edible stuff contains these nutrients in a varying ratio; however, a balanced diet consists of all of them in well maintained proportions, as demanded by our body. Unbalanced percentages of nutrients greatly affect the metabolic activities and hence undesirable results, like loss of hair..

Yes, poor metabolism is one of the prime reasons for the thinning of hair, their brittleness, color loss and any other kind of hair loss. If you are suffering from any such symptoms, try looking at your diet before assuming the worst; as a well balanced diet can help you restore and regain the health of your hair.

We will be concentrating on vitamins here, and we'll see the role played by each.

· Vitamin A - An antioxidant that helps in producing health sebum in scalp. Its deficiency causes hair to get dry as well as causing rough skin. Food Sources: Fish oil, meat, milk eggs, carrots, apricots, etc.

· Vitamin B - Vitamin B can further be sub-divided in to various categories, the most important of which have been described below:

1. Para Amino Benzoic Acid: An unpopular vitamin B complex, chiefly responsible for the color of hair. It is mainly found in liver, kidney, whole grain, etc.

2. Inositol: Yet another vitamin B group member meant to keep the hair follicles stay healthy at the cellular level. A deficiency of this vitamin can result in complete baldness. However, the opposite of this holds true equally. The chief sources of inositol are whole grains, brewer's yeast and citrus foods.

3. Biotin: Often known as Vitamin H, this complex of vitamin B plays chief role in hair growth and prevents excessive hair loss. Chief sources: Egg yolk, liver, rice, milk and brewer's yeast.

4. Vitamin B6: This vitamin basically helps in maintaining hair color and texture, thereby preventing any kind of hair loss. It can be easily found in cereals, yeast, organ meats and egg yolks.

· Vitamin C - primarily serves as an antioxidant and helps in maintaining scalp circulation. This is because the proper care of capillaries that carry blood to the follicles is very important. Vitamin C can be found in all citrus foods, and fruits like strawberries, kiwi, pineapple and dark green vegetables.

· Vitamin E - This vitamin helps in maintaining healthy hair by increasing the oxygen uptake thereby enhancing scalp circulation. Food items like cold preserved vegetable oils, soybeans, nuts, dried beans and leafy green vegetable items are considered as rich sources of this vitamin.

Female Hair Loss Vitamins

Kent Pinkerton has written Female Hair Loss Vitamins and writes "Hair loss is one of the most common problems, and also the most difficult to tackle. While healthy hair indicates good general health, hair loss can be an indicator of a deeper internal health problem. Hair loss in women has been attributed to several factors till now: stress, lack of iron or anemia, condition of the scalp, condition of vital internal organs like the kidneys, liver, thyroid etc., emotional disturbances, menstrual problems, illness or lack of essential vitamins and other nutrients in the body etc.

Hair loss generally indicates a deficiency in vitamin B1, vitamin C, lysine and iron. Vitamin C’s antioxidant properties help to make skin and hair healthy by aiding body metabolism, and converting fat and carbohydrates into energy. It helps in the development of healthy collagen that binds tissues together. Hence it is effective in preventing breakage and split ends. Vitamin C is present in good quantities in Citrus fruits, strawberries, pineapple, tomatoes, green peppers, potatoes and most dark green vegetables. A daily dose of 60 mg is recommended for good health. Vitamin B1 or Thiamine aids in protein building and thus makes the hair healthy, giving it volume, shine and a good texture. This is ensured by providing nutrition to the scalp. Other vitamins that help to prevent hair loss in women are: other Vitamin B complex vitamins like Biotin, Inositol, Niacin and vitamin E..

Minerals like iron, zinc, magnesium are also effective in preventing hair loss. The most common food-based sources of these vitamins are: citrus fruits, green vegetables, fruits like pineapple, strawberries, kiwi, potatoes, green peppers, vegetable oils, soybean, raw seeds, dried beans, wheat germ oil, brewer’s yeast, whole grains, eggs, liver, rice, milk, fish, turkey, chicken and red meat. Other products found to be efficient in combating hair loss are Saw Palmetto, nettle root, pumpkin, gotu kola, eleuthero, Uva-Ursi, Muria Puama and others.

There are hundreds of products in the market today that promise to prevent hair loss. These products are generally prescribed by experts though some over the counter drugs are also available. There are companies that specialize exclusively in the production of hair loss drugs. Information about these products is also available on the Internet on the websites of these companies. However, it is better to consult a physician to know the exact cause of hair loss before using any of these products.

Hair Vitamins provides detailed information about hair vitamins, hair and nail vitamins, hair growth vitamins and more. Hair Vitamins is affiliated with Baldness Solutions.

Medical Causes and Hair Loss Prevention

Tim Gorman has written 'Medical Causes and Hair Loss Prevention' and writes "Are you one of the millions of people who have noticed thinning hair, a receding hair line, or bald patches? Have you considered that the reasons for your hair loss may actually be a medical condition? If so, then perhaps your hair loss is reversible, and future loss preventable.

There are many causes of medically related hair loss. For example, high fever, severe or prolonged illness, a hormonal imbalance, pregnancy and childbirth, or extreme stress can all cause hair loss. Protecting the remaining strands from further damage is essential to preventing future loss.

Many medications can cause hair loss, such as diuretics, blood pressure medications, birth control, skin and anti-fungal medications. These may cause thinning hair or bald spots. And of course, chemotherapy is a very well-known treatment that causes hair loss..

Estrogen is a hormone that protects against hair loss, and as women age estrogen levels naturally decrease. The hormone dihydrotestosterone causes hair follicles to shrink and makes existing hairs thin and fragile. Disorders of the thyroid gland can cause thinning hair or hair loss, as well.

Poor diet or malnutrition is another medical reason for hair loss. This cause can become combined with other medical causes, because serious illnesses can lead to malnutrition due to inability to eat properly. Vitamin supplements are recommended for anyone, especially those who are already experiencing hair loss.

As with any condition, diagnosing the cause is the first step in treatment. Hair loss is often a symptom of a medical condition, and understanding the cause will help reverse the problem and prevent future hair loss.

Hair Loss Prevention through Ayurveda

Dr. Savitha Suri has written Hair Loss Prevention through Ayurveda and writes "Hair loss is experienced by all of us at one or the other time. To know the causes of hair fall, it is very essential to know the structure of hair and its normal growth cycle.

Structure of hair

The hair on our scalp can be divided into two parts, the root and shaft. The root part of hair is in the skin (epidermis) of scalp. The hair root is surrounded by a pouch like structure called follicle. The base of hair root is in the shape of a bulb. This bulb is indented by capillaries and nerve fibers. The cells in the center of bulb divide. The newly divided hair cells push the previous cells up. The cells which move upwards die slowly forming hard hair shaft.

The hair shaft has three layers the cuticle, medulla and cortex.

Cuticle is the outer layers and protects the inner layers. It is transparent. Healthy cuticle gives a shiny appearance for hair and unhealthy cuticle gives lifeless look.

Medulla is the innermost layer composed of large cells.

Cortex is the layer between cuticle and medulla. This contains pigment and keratin. Cortex determines the bulk and strength of hair.

The hair follicle contains oil secreting glands which make the hair shiny .Stress and illness diminish secretion of oil and pigments causing graying of hair.

According to Ayurveda the hair is considered as a tissue which uses the same nutrients of bone and considered as a tissue which is formed as bi-product of bone tissue.

Normal cycle of hair growth.

About 10 % of the hair on the scalp is in a resting phase at any given time. The resting hair falls after 2 to 3 months and new hair starts growing in its place. The growing phase continues for 2.25 to 6 yrs. During this phase each hair grows approximately 1 cm per month. At any given time about 90% of the hair on scalp will be in growing phase.

Few strands of hair fall as the part of normal hair growth cycle. But some people may experience excessive hair fall which is more than normal cycle. Excessive hair loss can affect men, women and children.

Causes of hair loss

1. Hormonal imbalance in men and women: In men high concentration of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in hair follicles causes hair fall. In women hormonal imbalances during pregnancy and after delivery cause hair fall.

2. High amount of sebum in scalp clogs pores of scalp and prevent nutrition to hair follicle.

3. Inadequate nutrition causes hair fall.

4. Stress, worry, lack of sleep, worry and anxiety cause hair fall

5. Long standing diseases like typhoid, viral infections, anemia, surgery etc cause general debility which lead to hair fall

6. Some medicines used for gout, chemo therapy of cancer , birth control pills , antidepressants etc cause hair fall

7. Diseases like lupus, diabetes cause hair fall.

8. Tying hair tightly pulls the hair from follicles and cause traction alopecia.

9. Heredity also causes hair fall.

10. Dandruff or Fungal infection of scalp.

11. Accumulation of dirt on scalp causes blocking of pores and weakens hair roots. This leads to hair fall.

According to ayurveda the causes of hair loss are described as follows

1. Too much exposure to dust, sunlight, water and other pollutants.

2. Too much of sweating.

3. Irregular sleeping pattern.

4. Anxiety, depression, insomnia.

5. Unhygienic way of living

6. Diseases

7. Alcohol consumption.

Hair loss Remedies

1. Liberal intake of vitamins.

2. High protein and iron rich diet.

3. Consumption of raw vegetables, fresh fruits, salads, green leafy vegetables regularly.

4. Washing hair regularly ( twice weekly ) with suitable shampoo.

5. Using relaxing techniques to overcome stress, anxiety and sleeplessness.

6. Preventing fungal infections of scalp.

7. Preventing hairstyles which pull hair.

Due to these causes the tridoshas get vitiated and cause hair loss. The vitiated doshas affect the scalp skin and cause hair fall occurs. Medicated oil with the herbs Bhringaraja ( Eclipta Alba ), Amalaki ( Embelica officinalis ), Haritaki ( Terminalia chebula ) and Vibhitaki ( Terminalia bellirica ) is a best remedy for hair fall.

Hair Loss Treatment with Saw Palmetto

Dennis Harris has written Hair Loss Treatment with Saw Palmetto and writes "Saw Palmetto should not be overlooked as a natural solution for the problem of hair loss. Treatment by this unique type of fruit is well known for being able to help reduce baldness. To help make the decision to use this or not, first look at how saw palmetto works and how it affects your hair. This herbal treatment may be just the treatment needed to medicate against hair loss.

Saw palmetto grows throughout the world where climate is warm. It is a red fruit that can be seen in the U.S in southeastern states. It has become a popular choice used for hair loss treatment. It is used in many European countries as well for hair loss and also for prostate health. The effectiveness of this unique fruit acts by blocking the enzymes or hormones that can cause baldness due to factors within the genes. It reacts with the testosterone hormone to block hair loss caused by enzymes..

Knowing the quantity of saw palmetto for maximum effectiveness is necessary when making the decision to try this as a treatment. You will need to consume three hundred and twenty milligrams of extract each day to maintain its usefulness. This is so the interaction with the hormones and enzymes that are causing hair loss is not interrupted. Supplements containing saw palmetto nutrients can be easy to find and helpful for hair growth.

To date there are no known ill effects from taking saw palmetto and this is a definite advantage over other medications that help reduce baldness. It is not known to affect other problems or to interact adversely with other medication you may be taking. But be sure you are eating other food along with it in order to avoid the possibility of a headache or stomach problems. Of course, as with all foods or supplements you take, if you suspect that you may be having an allergic reaction to the saw palmetto fruit, discontinue taking it and make sure it is not related to something else.

There is some research that shows that the fruit of the saw palmetto helps to solve problems of various types in the body that are related to the DHT hormone. Since this hormone is a factor in causing hair loss, most likely it is effective as a hair loss treatment. However, this is an assumption up to this point since there has not been much research reported that is directly related to using it as a baldness treatment.

If genetic factors seem to be the cause of your trouble with hair loss or getting bald, saw palmetto could be a natural way to treat it. It is a good holistic resource that should be considered as an option to stronger medications that have many more side effects. Saw palmetto helps your body to balance the hormones and enzymes that cause various undesired reactions. So take a good look at the fruit, extract or supplements of saw palmetto as a possible treatment effective for hair loss.

Hair Loss Treatment For Men And Women

C Mueller has written Hair Loss Treatment For Men And Women and writes "Hair loss is something that men and women can both face during their lives.

I started shaving my head in my early twenties when I noticed my hair was thinning but this certainly isn't the only option available.

As time goes on there are an increasing number of options for dealing with hair loss including surgical, non-surgical and topical (ie. hair lotions, etc) choices.

A good medical professional can help provide you with more information regarding your specific situation if you are concerned that your hair loss might be a medical problem..

Part of the issue with hair loss that men and women are often unsure about is related to the options that are available, the cost involved, the pain involved with some treatments, and which treatment option might be best for them.

Certainly, the amount of hair loss, the reason for your hair loss and your desire to deal with the hair loss are but three factors.

Your budget is another one.

Many hair loss options such as topical products that you apply to your scalp and hair systems require repeated treatments which could make your costs escalate over time to the point that it makes the option unviable for you.

Other treatments such as hair transplant surgery might be prohibitive if you are afraid of the pain involved, can't afford it or are simply unwilling to undergo surgery.

While there is a stigma attached to some hair loss options such as old-style wigs and toupees, hair loss treatments have certainly improved and increased to the point where some might offer you a good option to deal with your hair loss if you so choose.

Or you might simply choose to shave your head like I did when my hair started thinning!

Prescription Drugs for Hair Loss Treatment

Natalie Aranda has written Prescription Drugs for Hair Loss Treatment and writes "Millions of men and women suffer from hair loss. Hair loss is more common to men than to women, however. Not only does it make men look older beyond their actual age, it also negatively impacts their self esteem and social confidence. Fortunately, there are many options for male hair loss treatment.

Most of hair loss treatments are cosmetic in natural. Those treatments make the patients look better as if they have healthy hairs. Cosmetic treatments include hairpieces, weaves and surgical methods for permanent effects. Today’s hairpieces either made by real hair or synthetic hair look so real, that no one can tell. Many people don’t realize how advanced some of these pieces have become. Many hairpieces have new netting that allows the hair to flow naturally and look like your original hair. There are also plenty of new adhesives so you don’t have to worry about your hair ever being removed even in a tornado. Other cosmetic options are cosmetically based lotions, shampoos and herbal supplements..

Medical scientists have been researching and testing solutions that help to slow down hair loss or actually to regrow hairs. Rogaine and Propecia are commonly used medicines for male hair loss treatment. Both of them are approved by Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Rogaine is available over the counter. It has been proven effective by the Federal Drug Administration for slowing down hair loss and regrowing back your hair. Minoxodil is the active ingredient in Rogaine. Rogaine is a topical solution that is applied twice daily to the scalp. Romaine is effective for both slowing hair loss but regrowing hair. Regrowing will normally takes a few months and results are more often seen on the crown of the scalp. Rogaine is for genetic hair loss only, not effective for hair loss due to another disease or ailment. You must also be over the age of 18 in order to use this product. Rogaine actually works on women as well.

Propecia, which requires a prescription from a doctor, is another drug effective for male hair loss treatment. It helps treat hair loss by lowering chemicals levels in the body that decrease the growth of hair. Unlike Rogaine, Propecia is not a drug specifically designed for male hair loss treatment. It is actually a drug to shrink the prostate, but was shown effective in controlling the hormones that cause hair loss. Surprisingly, this drug has been proven to work better then Minoxodil in regrowing hair back. It also grows hair back on the front of the scalp as well.

While both drugs won’t help hair loss patients grow back a full head of hair, they do slow down the hair loss and can fill up some of the more pronounced areas.

Hair Loss Treatment in Zinc

Dennis Harris has written Hair Loss Treatment in Zinc and writes "Hair loss can be a difficult thing to experience. There are a number of hair loss treatments that claim to be helpful if a person wants to try and stop the process or at least slow it down. One possibility that may not have been considered is to find a vitamin or mineral that targets hair loss. While genetics does have some credibility as one cause of baldness, another cause could be a nutritional deficiency in the diet. Zinc is known to be one nutrient that can help stop loss of hair. It will be easier to use zinc to treat baldness or thinning of hair when it is known how zinc relates to this problem and what the proper balance should be.

If there is a considerable lack of enough zinc in a person’s body then it is most likely one of the factors causing hair loss. In order to tell if a lack of zinc could be affecting your hair, you need to figure out how much of this nutrient is in your daily intake of food. Since we also know that stress can be a factor in losing hair, it is important to note that zinc is beneficial for helping your system cope when it is under excessive stress. If you are experiencing a great amount of stress, this can cause the zinc to move through the body more quickly leaving you with a substantial lack of the nutrient..

Zinc helps your system by increasing the proteins you need that affect the health of your hair, skin and nails. When you suffer from a lack of zinc, then the hair does not continue to grow and can fall out. Zinc helps to create a balanced support system by working along with several of the proteins that you have in the body. It is important that the nutrients which the body requires stay in proper balance.

A lack of sufficient zinc can cause problems with the scalp as well as contributing to a loss of hair. Nutrient deficiency may be irritating the scalp and making it dry and flaky. Zinc is known to also help prevent hair color changing to gray. It is so effective that it can even help reverse the process of hair thinning, baldness or graying if zinc is taken in the right quantity.

There are a number of different foods that are a good source of zinc. Fish, yeast, egg yolks and wheat germ are all helpful to increase a person’s intake of this nutrient. The zinc in these foods will help to stimulate protein production in different parts of the body. Another option is to purchase zinc nutritional supplements. A good rule of thumb is to take fifty to one hundred milligrams daily to make it most helpful.

Making sure that you are eating a balanced diet with the proper amounts of zinc and other nutrients is one way to make sure that you are doing all you can to help prevent hair loss. Often, zinc is lacking in typical daily meals alone. If you desire to be certain your body has the proper balance of the nutrients it requires, then you can increase your intake of foods rich in the nutrient you lack as well as take supplemental vitamins and minerals. This will help assure that your body has been properly armed to help fight hair loss.

Future of Hair Loss Treatments

Brent Woodard has written Future of Hair Loss Treatments and writes "There are many up and coming solutions to hair loss, some of these such as the "Hair Growing Helment", might sound a little odd. No matter how odd it may sound, reports has it the helment scored an 80% success rate on clinical trials.

Scotland's Daily Record reports on the "space-age helmet which claims to help halt hair loss and stimulate regrowth." More than 10,000 of the pricey BX3.4 helmets -- they cost more than $1,000 -- have been sold in Europe. The helmet reportedly uses "electromagnetic waves and essential oils which, the manufacturers claim, stop hair falling out and revive challenged follicles. They say the helmet scored an 80 per cent success rate in clinical trials and claim medical experts say it is one of the most effective cures for baldness on the market."

At a success rate like that, we might see more helmet wearing men in the near future.

There are plenty of new surgery options out now as well, such as more complex hair transplants, hairline lowering procedures and more. Non-surgical hair replacement procedures are getting better then ever as well.

Scientists have discovered a type of stem cell that could eventually lead to the cure for baldness according to the news. Unfortunately, that cure is still a little ways away, but I will keep you guys informed when news arrives.

Still the best way to stop hair loss in its tracks is to decrease DHT production, by using a DHT Inhibitor products. Keep using your DHT inhibitor like Propecia as well as your Rogaine to stimulate hair growth. Good luck!

Hair Loss Treatment - 4 Effective Solutions To A Growing Problem

Dean Shainin has written 'Hair Loss Treatment - 4 Effective Solutions To A Growing Problem' and writes "Most of the hair loss treatments available on the market these days are most successfully applied by those who haven’t waited too long to do the right thing for their condition.

Many of those who have experienced balding at some point in their lives have said that the longer you wait to stop hair loss, the harder you can prevent it from occurring, and the harder it is to treat.

Hair loss in men is often identified with the appearance of a receding hairline, also known as slow balding at the crown of the head.

This condition is observed to be a progressive that if it is left ignored and untreated, the hair loss will continue and you will just notice in the end that much of your hair has been lost..

Hair loss in men is caused by a number of factors. For some who do not completely get bald, the root of hair loss is highly associated to hereditary and hormonal imbalances.

To evaluate your own hair loss situation it is much advisable to talk to an expert whom you think can greatly help you. You can consult a dermatologist or a hair surgeon to help you determine the kind of hair loss situation you are suffering from.

There are a lot of possible ways to fight or prevent hair loss from happening.

Here Are The Top 4 Effective Types of Hair Loss Treatments

1. The growth stimulators, generally, are used in preventing hair loss for the fact that they are capable of working on a symptomatic level to stimulate growth of hair, although artificially. These agents are capable of performing such acts without actually dealing with hair loss at the root of the problem. Note that it is because of this function that growth stimulators are deemed ineffective. But the truth of the matter is, these agents are actually a very successful and powerful way of reversing the balding process, although cosmetically.

2. Anti-androgens are but another powerful fighter of hair loss in men. The use of this treatment stems from the belief that anti-androgens work to stop the DHT from binding to the androgen receptor. The androgens, according to studies, come in about ¾ of the way down to the actual process leading to hair loss, and as they come to the rescue, they tend to show off one of the last interactions before certain damages to the hair follicles occur, then restoring the then weakened follicles.

3. The dihydrotestosterone or DHT inhibitors, as the name implies, functions to inhibit the fastening of 5-Alpha Reductase and Testosterone. This combination is what actually keeps the DHT levels to stay close to normal. Once maintained normal, the DHT inhibitors work to help keep the hair growth as well as loss regulation as its normal state. With this condition and function, it’s no wonder that DHT inhibitors are used by bald men to deal and treat the root of their hair loss dilemma.

4. Super Oxide Dismutase (SOD) treatments are marketing throughout the world these days to prevent excessive hair loss in men. Claims have it that these treatments work by way of gripping and controlling the immune response the in body which may occur as a result of the excessive DHT in the hair follicle. The Super Oxide, which is released once a foreign body is sensed by the cells, is then considered as an alien body that is potent enough to help the body fight and defend against the invading cells, foreign tissues and viruses. However, this Super Oxide is reduced by SODs, which may in turn help lessen the body’s desire to turn down the hair follicle. It is with this function actually that the SODs are considered as effective enough to fight hair loss in men. It is important to know though that SOD treatments are a kind of a hybrid treatment for the reason that they carry within them a number of anti-inflammatory and growth stimulation properties.

So if you are currently suffering from hair loss and you are considering treatment, it’s definitely best for you to consult with your doctor first before you undergo any type of treatment for your hair loss. Also, make sure that you understand the cause of your hair loss condition as this will help you to determine the best options available for you.

Male Hair Loss Treatments

Jennifer Bailey has written Male Hair Loss Treatments and writes "Male hair loss or androgenic alopecia is the most common type of hair loss. It is hereditary, meaning it is passed on from one generation to the next. It is generally caused by the increased sensitivity of the scalp to male sex hormones or androgen. Scientifically called as alopecia, male pattern baldness occurs in about 66% of the male population at varying points in their lives. Although baldness in males was viewed as something undesirable in the past, it is now also considered fashionable and attractive especially with a clean-shaven head.

Hair loss in men typically starts at age 20 upwards. It usually follows a balding pattern: usually it begins with a receding hairline which gradually affects the entire top of the head. In time, a U-shaped bald area develops in the sides and back of the head. Although, all hair is not totally lost, the remaining hair is finer and not as thick or quick-growing. Male hair loss is a hereditary condition. Although it is recommended to simply accept the situation and leave the hair as it is, there are also some treatments that can combat hair loss..

Treatment through medication involves drugs such as Minoxidil, which is massaged daily into the scalp and Finasteride, taken in tablets, blocks to a degree the effects of the baldness-causing hormones. However, hair transplant remains the most reliable hair loss and replacement treatment.

Still, keeping hair clean and healthy is a great way to prevent premature baldness. Frequent washing with a mild shampoo is recommended for at least 3x a week, followed by a conditioner to moisturize the hair. Maintaining a balanced and healthy diet will result to healthier and stronger hair. Men should also protect their hair from the harsh effects of UV rays and other elements. In any case, it is best to consult with a hair specialist who can help you prevent or treat hair loss professionally.
