For you to decide on the best hair loss treatment you should know what caused the problem. There are three questions that you can ask yourself to help determine the cause.
The first question is, has your hair been falling out suddenly or by the handful? If you answered yes then go see your doctor. He’ll refer to your problem as telogen effluvium. That means that for some reason your hair follicles have entered the ‘telogen’ or resting phase of your hair cycle, which basically means your shedding.
The good news about telogen effluvium is that it is usually temporary, caused by some physical or emotionally stressful event. Once the underlying cause of telogen effluvium is addressed, the hairs should re-enter the productive or anagen phase.
The best hair loss treatment for telogen effluvium is patience and extra care. You can also take a good hair supplement that will promote hair growth. Also while your hair is re-growing again you’ll want to avoid hot combs and hairstyles that put alot of stress on your roots.
Both the second and third questions are related so I’ll cover both of them here. The second question is: Are you losing your hair in the form of a pattern on top of your head? And the third question is: Does your family have a history of baldness? If you answered yes to these then your not alone. Both male and female pattern baldness is suffered by literally millions of people around the world.
This form of hair loss is called androgenic alopecia. In simple terms it means hair loss caused by the hormone androgen. At least half of all men have this form of hair loss in one degree or another. The number of women effected is growing every year.
One way to deal with this is to block androgen production but the drugs that block androgens are accompanied by side effects. Hormonal specialists recommend a gentler, more natural approach. Drugs that block androgens are mostly ineffective for women and women of child-bearing age should not take them because of the risk of birth defects.
The best hair loss treatment for androgenic alopecia is a more natural one and it works for both men and women. It deals with nutritional support, herbal remedies and a topically applied solution that not only improves circulation but also stimulates new hair growth.
