Are You Bald? Get Your Hair Back

For both men and women who start to go bald the idea is not onethey can easily accept. If you are bald you can get your hairback with one of the many options available to you.

Each day the body disperses hundreds of hairs. This is the hair generally found around the shower drain. If hair loss is on the rise it is important to find out what the underlying cause is because the sooner the cause is discovered the sooner the real problem can be dealt with.

With the aging process it is natural for hair to thin however if there is a sudden excessive loss or patches following out itis time to see a doctor to ensure there is no disease or toxicity that needs to be treated. Alopecia areata, Addisons, autoimmune disorders, and even thyroid conditions can all cause severe hair loss which means when treated the hair loss will stop.

The food people eat can also cause baldness. Deficiencies in the diet such as lack of iron can be responsible for hair loss. Blood work to check for anemia should be done especially if the fingernails have also become thin.

Vitamin B12 and omega 3 fatty acids will not make the hair grow back but they will maintain the hair left on the head healthy and shiny. Omega fatty acids are critical to overall health and can be found in all cold water fish like salmon, mackerel, and cod.

Studies have shown that it can reduce the amount of hair loss. Green tea is a powerful antioxidant that can benefit the entire body. And it can stimulate the growth of new hair over several months.

NEOSH101 is a new topical treatment with no known side effects. Phase 2 of the clinical studies is underway and it is looking very promising however it is not yet available to the general public.

Minoxidil which is good for men and women is a medication that stops the enzyme 5-AR. Studies have shown this medication to work but it can take as much as 4 months for the benefits to show. It does not work well on receding hairlines or frontal hairlines but it does work well on the crown of the head. Always follow the directions of the doctor.

Propecia is a pill that is taken once a day and it blocks 5-ARenzyme which creates DHT or dihydro testosterone associated with pattern baldness in men. Rogaine is a topical lotion available in two strengths stimulating the growth of hair in both women and men. Avodart and Nizoral are two other treatments that are approved for hair loss.

Hair transplants can provide excellent results that look natural and last a long time. The surgeon will determine the best course of action. Nonsurgical hair replacement involves the use of hair pieces made from natural hair.

Some medications can actually be responsible for hair loss including hormone replacement therapy, high blood pressure medicines, cholesterol drugs, and steroids. But for most it is all about genetics with most hair loss inherited from one or both parents.

The future is certainly bright with many new treatments on the horizon. With the modern day treatments if you are bald you can get your hair back today.
