Are you among one of the many people suffering from hair loss? While the
problem may seem to be a common feature today, it is a cause of great concern.
The most widely experienced cause of hair loss is known as Androgenic Alopecia.
It is caused by two main factors at play - one your genetic tendency to baldness
and two, excess presence of a hormone called di-hydro testosterone (DHT).
The hormone, DHT, causes hair follicles to become shorter and shorter, resulting
in thin and weak hair, as a result of which more hair are shed than can be
produced, and finally resulting in baldness.
Other reasons for hair loss include psychological factors such as a stressful
lifestyle; heavy sebum/ cholesterol, bacteria or dirt build-up around the
bulb, which is the reproducing part of hair, thus, causing hair loss and
thinning; lack of proper diet and essential nutrients, causing various deficiencies
resulting in hair loss; or use of heavy chemicals and hair styling products
on the scalp which causes a lot of wear and tear and weakens the hair.
Once you are faced with the problem of hair loss and baldness, it is now time
to take control and identify the best solution to combat and reverse the situation.
First you must identify the real cause of your hair loss. Then search for the
best products to suit your requirements, which are also clinically approved.
Some of these include:
- Rogaine: It is a clinically approved product introduced
by Pharmacia & Upjohn Co., and is sold over-the-counter. The main ingredient
in it is Minoxidil, present in 2% and 5% FDA approved formulations. It
basically stimulates hair growth. 2% is usually normal and recommended
for women, as 5% may cause some side effects. Thus, over-dose should be
avoided to prevent any side effects.
- Propecia: It is an FDA approved synthetic medication,
only for use by men. It works by reducing the levels of DTH, and stimulates
hair follicles keeping them in growth phase. However, it might have certain
side effects such as loss of libido. It is available on under prescription.
- Fabao 101 Hair Re-growth lotion: It promotes blood circulation,
dialating the blood capillaries, and also removes sebum. Moreover, it has
no side effects.
- Emu Oil: It is a natural byproduct, and inhibits the
growth of DHT hormone. Also, it has anti-wrinkle and anti-bacterial properties.
This is not a comprehensive list. There are a number of other natural and
cosmetic hair loss treatment products available in the market. According
to your specific requirement you can select the best option available.
