Causes For Hair Loss

Monty Carlos

Hair loss can be an emotionally painful occurrence to watch happen to yourself. As time goes by it becomes more visible each time you look in the mirror. You try to comb your hair different ways to cover up the thinnest spots. To see clumps of hair on the drain each time you shower or wash your hair can bring tears to your eyes. There is said to be many causes for hair loss. A person can have more than one of those causes working against him, and until all of the causes can be remedied, hair will continue to fall out until there is none.

Unless you have the money and the time that it takes to have hair replacement surgery, or grafts, there is always another remedy to try. Most family oriented people just don't have the extra money to spend on vanity. Without money that you can just throw away, it's not much use to try the new "Laser Hair Stimulation" techniques that have become available. You would be contractually bound to attend several sessions with no guarantee and your money up front.

And if you were to use a product like Rogaine or Propecia, there's no guarantee there either. And as well as those two products work for some people, it states on the packages that it can only be effective on hair loss on the very top of the head, and is not recommended for frontal hair loss.

If your hair is in the beginning stages of thinning, try these simple strategies first and see if there is any improvement.

Stop wearing hats. Wearing ballcaps are very popular, and it seems like everyone wears them, man or woman. Just stop wearing it for a while and let your scalp get some fresh air. Additionally, you will need to cut back on washing your hair, especially by hard scrubbing or rubbing with the fingertips. Use baby shampoo, and use it sparingly. If you can get away with not washing your hair for a couple of weeks at a time, that's the most effective. You will see less hair lost by looking at the drain.

The last thing to do in combination with the first two simple steps, is to get yourself some premium multi-vitamins.

Read the back of the labels to compare nutrient values, and get a well known brand with the most to offer. Avoid eating candy and sweets, try to substitute carbonated soda drinks with spring water, and make an honest effort to incorporate fruits and vegetables into your diet.

By using these simple strategies, you will not only improve your hair situation, but you'll notice changes in your skin and nails as well. If you really want to insure yourself against hair loss, and start experiencing a reversal process where new hair will begin to sprout, use the guaranteed formula found only in the book "How To Naturally Regrow Lost Hair In 15 Minutes A Day". The formula found in this book was one of the best kept secrets used by the hairdressers to Hollywood stars years before transplants and Rogaine were around.

A Beginners Guide To Hairloss

By Niall Roche

Hairloss is no laughing matter. As a matter of fact it's one of the single most traumatic experiences anybody can experience during their lifetime. Modern society has always placed a huge amount of importance on physical appearance and physical beauty. Those who don't fit in with what the rest of society see as "normal" can be sometimes left on the periphery of life - or at least made to feel that they're simply marginal in life. In some cases the supposed stigma attached to hairloss can make some sufferers drop out of society altogether - their selfworth diminished to an incredibly low level.

Hairloss is upsetting regardless of your gender, race or social status. The vast majority of people would be willing to do anything to prevent it or cure it. This has led to a hairloss and hair replacement industry that makes billions of dollars per year in pure profit. Unforunately not all of this profit is earned fairly or even legally. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of sneaky companies who know they can make a quick buck from people suffering from hairloss - all they have to do is make promises that they can cure or prevent it and people will hand over any amount of money. Many of the supposed "cures" and "treatments" on the market are all but worthless.

Another thing to bear in mind is the actual term hairloss itself - it's often misused. It has become a "catchall" phrase to cover both genetic(hereditary) and non-hereditary hairloss. Hairloss has two distinct branches.


Genetic/Hereditary hairloss

This is an inherited form of hairloss - the genetic trait probably coming from your mother. Most people assume that if their father was bald they'll be bald - you actually need to look at your mothers father. Genetic hairloss can affect both men and women.

Non-hereditary hairloss

Any type of hairloss that is non-genetic normally falls under the banner of non-hereditary hairloss.


It's important to have a solid understanding of what type of hairloss you're dealing with before attempting to treat it. There's a lot of misinformation out there and you should always question any treatment that claims to be 100% effective... if that was the case why is anybody in the world bald, balding or suffering from hairloss?

Hopefully this article will at least prompt you to ask more questions about all these "cures". If it achieved that much then I will be eternally grateful.

Hairloss Treatments and Types

By Paton Jackson

Many people ask us what is the most effective hairloss treatment. Well, like any good question there is more than one answer. Hairloss is probably the most discussed health condition. We all experience hairloss. Only that some experience it in earlier stages of their lives. But not all hair losses were born equal. There are different types of hairloss and for each there are several possible hairloss treatments:

1. Androgenetic alopecia - This is the most common type of hairloss - Also known as male pattern hairloss (or female pattern hairloss). This type of hairloss is related to the effects of genetics.
The cause for this hair loss type is the production in the body of a chemical called DHT. The production of DHT causes the hair follicles to shrink and gradually damages the hair growth process to the inventible permanent hairloss.
There is a wide selection of hairloss treatments for the male pattern hairloss - most of them claim to lower the amount of DHT. There are pills like the FDA approved Propecia (also known as finasteride) and natural hairloss treatments like Revivogen or Advecia. Other types of hairloss treatments for people that suffer from male pattern baldness are hair transplant surgery or medical hair restoration.

2. Temporary hairloss - Also known as telogen effluvium. In those cases hair will regrow within a few months. The most common temporary hairloss is called Alopecia Areata - A loss of hair small patches. Temporary hairloss can also be a result of certain medication or medical treatments like Chemotherapy. Unfortunately, there are no reliable hairloss treatments for theses cases.

3. Anagen Efluvium - This hairloss type refers to permanent hairloss caused by damages to the hair structure. It could be a result of a psychosomatic condition like stress or of medical condition as diabetes, thyroid disorders, immune disorders etc. The hairloss treatments for theses cases should be decided by a doctor according to the medical condition. In some cases where there is no available hairloss treatment people choose to wear hats or wigs.

It is important to realize that in most of the cases hairloss could be prevented and stopped using the proper hairloss treatments. So, don't wait for miracles. Stop you hairloss.
