Searching For A Hair Loss Remedy: The 40% Solution

While the forty percent of all men who are likely to experience
some hair loss in their lives constitute an enormous potential
market for an effective hair loss remedy, and research to supply
them with one is ongoing, only minoxidil has proven somewhat
effective in cases of male pattern baldness. Another drug,
originally created as a treatment for prostate problems, and now
marketed as the pill Propecia, also shows some promise as a hair
loss remedy.

But there has yet to be discovered a substance which will function as a universal hair loss remedy. No product currently used as a hair loss remedy can be effective in all instances of hair loss, because there are many underlying causes of baldness. Those people who educate themselves both about the way in which healthy hair grows, and the reasons it stops growing, will be much less likely to be hooked by the exaggerated claims of effectiveness which often accompany the latest hair loss remedy.

Research has indicated that the hormone dihydrotestosterone, or
DHT, may be one of the major factors in male pattern baldness.
Enzymes which can inhibit the body's production of DHT from
testosterone are credited with preventing hair loss; minoxidil
and finasteride, the active ingredients in Rogaine and Propecia,
have each been given FDA approval for use as a hair loss remedy.

Even though a hair loss panacea has yet to be discovered, those
suffering from hair loss will benefit from determining why they
are experiencing it so they can either search for an appropriate
hair loss remedy, or choose not to use one at all.

Some of the conditions leading to hair loss are curable; if its
underlying cause is eliminated, the hair loss will take care of
itself. Both lupus and diabetes, for instance, may contribute to
hair loss in their sufferers, and only by talking with your
physician will you know if either of them is a contributing
factor in yours.

Stress, both physical and emotional, has been linked to hair
loss, which was reversed as soon as the stress-inducing
situations were eliminated. In cases of stress, time may be the
only hair loss remedy necessary.

Hormone imbalances may lead to hair loss, and if the hormonal
balance is restored, hair growth may be as well. If someone is
not genetically pre-disposed to hair loss and begins
experiencing it, however, he or she should not use any kind of
hair loss remedy without first seeing a doctor to determine if
there is an organic reason for the condition.

The herb Gotu Kola has been used by Chinese herbalists for
centuries s one of the most effective natural hair loss
treatments; it has been researched and found to restore the hair
and thicken the skin of rats suffering from alopecia. Gotu Kola
may have the added benefit of thickening skin in humans as well
as restoring hair loss, as thinning of the skin is another
common sign of aging.

Another one of the natural hair loss treatments which is
claimed to thicken the skin, and relieve some of the pressure on
the very tiny blood vessels which transport nutrients to the
hair follicles is emu oil.

Faster Hair Growth Shampoo

Faster Hair Growth Shampoo
Finding the right shampoo for you can be a time consuming
process at the best of times, particularly as there are a
plethora of hair care products on the market catering for
all sorts of different hair types including shampoo and
conditioner for fine hair, thick hair, greasy hair, normal
hair, dry hair, damaged and bleached hair and even for
different hair colours. So what about faster hair growth
shampoo?

If you are concerned about hair loss or thinning hair and
want to encourage your hair to grow faster, there are also
many shampoos and conditioners out there that claim to
promote faster hair growth and minimise hair loss so what's
the difference between them an other shampoos?

Shampoos specially formulated to encourage faster hair
growth will usually contain a combination of active
ingredients that work together synergistically to improve
the condition of the scalp and the hair and will help to
remove a build up of DHT and sebum from the scalp to create
the best environment for new hair to grow. In order to
understand how faster hair growth shampoo can help; it
might be worth explaining how the hair grows.

The Hair Growth Cycle
Hair grows in cycles and not all the hair on your head will
be growing at the same time. Generally speaking, around
90% of the hair on your head is actively growing or in the
growth phase (Anagen) at any one time and an average growth
rate amounts to more or less around a centimetre a month.
The rest of your hair is in the Telogen stage or resting
phase and it is normal during this phase for hair to fall
out, sometimes as many as 100 hairs a day. The growth phase
can last anything from 2 to 6 years and the resting phase
usually lasts a few months.

There are many factors that will influence the length of
your growth phase and how fast your hair will be able to
grow and how easy it is for your hair to fall out during
the Telogen phase and these include your diet, medication,
your general health, and even stress, but one of the most
significant factors that will influence whether or not you
are likely to experience the typical male pattern baldness
or widespread thinning of the hair is genetics.

The main cause of typical male pattern baldness in men and
widespread thinning of the hair in women is linked to
androgens (hormones) and is known as androgenetic alopecia.
Your genes will dictate how sensitive you are to the
effects of the male hormone DHT or dihydrotestosterone.
High levels of DHT shorten the growth phase of the hair and
over time shrink the hair follicle so that the hair thins
out and eventually, no new hair is able to grow.

This pattern is different in men and women. Men's hair will
recede along the hairline and hair loss will be apparent on
the top of the head whereas in female pattern alopecia, the
hair tends to thin out over the top of the head and is
usually not as severe as male pattern alopecia.

Regardless of whether you are male or female, the trick to
minimising hair loss and encouraging faster hair growth is
to do everything possible to ensure that the growth phase
of the hair is extended and at the same time reduce the
risk of an excess of hair falling out during the resting
phase.

Shampoos that facilitate faster hair growth will often
contain ingredients that can help to reduce the amount of
DHT on the scalp and at the same time will nourish the
scalp and hair follicle giving the hair a better
opportunity to thrive. However, instead of relying on
shampoo alone, there are other tips that can help promote
faster hair growth.

Tips for faster hair growth

• Reduce the levels of DHT on the scalp by using an
appropriate shampoo and conditioner designed specifically
to do that

• Eat a healthy and balanced diet containing adequate
amounts of vitamins and amino acids so that your body has
all the nutrients it needs to feed the hair follicle

• Ensure that the circulation of blood to the scalp is good
so that the follicle is able to receive all the nutrients
it needs to produce healthy hair – massage whilst
shampooing is an excellent way of doing this

• Reduce stress levels

• Avoid anything that damages the hair and the hair
follicle, for example, heated appliances, harsh brushing,
tight ponytails, and shampoos containing harsh chemicals

Frequent washing with an unsuitable shampoo, particularly a
soap based shampoo, will strip your hair of its natural
oils and will give your hair a dull and lifeless look. The
ideal faster hair growth shampoo is one that will clean
your hair and leave it looking shiny, feeling silky and
most importantly, one that will not damage your hair or
irritate your scalp. As each and every one of us is
different, it is worth shopping around until you find a
shampoo that you are happy with, one that works for you.
