Though I know it probably is not nice to tease people who are balding, my brother doesn’t seem to mind. His hairline has been receding since he was 18 years old, and he often jokes about finding new ways to grow hair. This has come to be somewhat of a family joke, and he is usually the one who initiates the joking. While we know that there is no way to really grow hair that has been lost forever, it doesn’t mean we don’t find good humor in his efforts.

Sometime the problem could be a result of dandruff.  What causes dandruff and how it affects balding?  And are there remedies for dandruff?

There are many products out there that claim you can grow your hair. When I say that my brother has tried them all, I mean every word of it. If there is any product that can help to grow hair, he tried it all. He has had lotions, sprays, pills, and anything else you can think of in his possession. The end is always the same. His hairline continues to recede over the years and no hair has since grown. He has not given up hope, and he is probably saving up for transplant surgery.

If you hear of anything that can help you grow your hair, you should stop and think. Though products like Rogaine have been on the market for quite a while, I have never actually met anyone who says it works. I saw many Rogaine in the different bathrooms that I helped cleaned while I was in college. I don’t know if it works to grow hair, but there are many people who tried. I suspect if I went back to those same bathrooms now, Rogaine would no longer be in their medicine cabinet.

If going bald is not your main problem, you will want to grow hair longer. There are some that you can try. The best thing is to get a trim every month or every six weeks. Though this may sound like it contradicts your efforts of trying to grow your hair, believe me when I say this is very important. Hair that is not trimmed will have split ends. If those splits are not removed, your hair will break off and will never grow. It may not seem to be productive trimming hair, but give it six months and see what happens.
