What You Can Do About Hair Loss

By Andrew M. Nicola

Everybody wants to look nice and attractive. That can take a big effort sometimes. One very important part of our body is the head and just on top of this is our hair. You might have a hard time to style it the way you like it all the time. But it gets even worse if you start losing your hair. Mostly one considers the hair as important part of the body since one has simply grown up with it, so a sudden loss is not comfortable at all.

Fortunately one does not have to accept the hair being in a bad condition or even the hair falling off. If you think it has started falling off, so it might be too late to prevent it from doing that, you simply do not know how it works. Even if you already look quite bald, it is still not too late to carry out some steps to stop your hair from falling off. It is possible to keep your hair or let it even regrow. There are diverse techniques available that can be used as hair growth treatment. Some of them are natural and some of them rather medical. But many work.

The natural ways of giving your hair a nice treatment reach from having food rich in vitamins each day to massaging your scalp regularly. You should just start to have a healthy and balanced diet. People know that a healthy diet affects the look regarding the belly fat and so on, but people usually do not know how much food can also influence our hair structure and even stop or reduce hair loss. Hair is protein, thus a diet low in protein may cause thinning in hair or retardation. Furthermore also too much stress or even a lack of sleep can have a bad effect on your hair. One can see that even improving the lifestyle can be a hair growth treatment.

Food supplements can not only strengthen your hair, but also help you to achieve a good health in general. But there are also some negative side effects of too many vitamins. So one has to be a bit careful about not taking an overdose regularly, your body will not be able to digest that. It has been scientifically proven many times that food supplements can in fact be very helpful for your health and in some cases they are even necessary to prevent you of getting serious diseases. Even if the diet is balanced some people might need some extra vitamins and minerals since the human body sometimes deals with them a bit inefficiently. There are also special mixtures available that combine many vitamins and minerals just adapted to maximise the benefits on you hair.

Supplements are used widely, but especially some men get prescribed medicine in addition in order to stop their hair loss. One example is Minoxidil that is both a treatment for high blood pressure and hair growth. About 60 per cent of patients benefit from it. Other treatments block the effects of the male hormones. This has shown to halt further hair loss and promote re-growth of scalp hair in approximately 80 per cent of patients after three to six months. But almost daily there are new advances in methods for hair growth treatment.

How can one decide about what treatment to choose? Mainly this depends on your money, your condition and your wishes. Some people might even accept the hair loss as natural phenomenon and do not care so much, but others might say that if it is possible to stop the loss one should not hesitate to do so. It is your personal decision. But before deciding one should find out more about the various possible hair growth treatment approaches. - 30305
