Hair Restoration Information

By Anthony Devlin

If you are losing your hair, you know how devastating it can be. It is the one thing that can age you more quickly than any other appearance change. Although men find early hair loss hard to accept women may be even more upset if they lose their hair. Hair restoration techniques are limited but by learning about them you can often find which is going to give you the best chance of getting your hair back.

Because the reason for hair loss can influence how you need to restore it, you need to know why you are losing your hair. Men tend to lose hair due to male pattern baldness, a genetic condition inherited from the mother's side of the family. Women have more of a range of reasons for their hair loss. It can include such diverse causes as stress, a poor diet, some medical conditions and even hormonal fluctuations such as those caused by pregnancy and childbirth. As you can see, trying to restore hair without dealing with the underlying cause may be of no use whatsoever.

There were many methods in the past including scalp massage which were believed to increase blood flow to the scalp. This was believed to help the hair grow back. However, these are less popular than some of the more current methods that have been developed.

Often, people turn to creams and lotions to try and restore their hair. Some of them are very effective at restoring hair. Both men and women can use products to restore lost hair. You need to read the label in order to make sure that you are picking the right one. Since a man and a woman's bodies and systems differ, they actually may find that the product for the opposite gender may be toxic and make them sick instead of helping them regrow hair.

You can also look into hair restoration surgery although this is used most frequently by men. The two most common hair surgeries are hair transplants and hair plugs. A transplant moves skin that contains hair follicles and has a blood supply attached to an area where there is little to no hair. With hair plugs, small groupings of two to three hairs are inserted into hair follicles in areas where they do not grow as thickly. A qualified plastic surgeon or hair restoration expert can help you decide which you will like the best, since they can be painful and you want to make sure you are happy with the method you have chosen. Either method needs to be performed before there is no hair left.

Restoring their hair is something that many people are obsessed with. By picking the right methods they can often get a full and natural looking head of hair back. - 30305
