Hair Loss
To all bald-headed men.
When you drive at night do you have to turn your head down to
low beam?
Yes, there are many such thoughtless jokes about baldness, in
both males and females. However, loss of head hair really is a
problem, which causes a great deal of worry and unhappiness, to
those afflicted.
Hopefully, there may be some help and answers for you, within
this web site. It is often easier to reduce the ageing and
thinning of healthy hair, than to regrow into follicles that are
already dormant.
Reversing and preventing further hair loss may also be possible.
Some products and techniques could be:
Topical ketokonazole, an anti-fungal/5-alfa inhibitor of
reductase. Finasteride and/or minoxidel, known in the United
States as propecia and Rogaine, or Rogeine, respectively.
Placebos have average results, but not usually as high as other
specific products Hair cloning, or multiplication, using self
replenishing follicle stem cells. Hair transplants have been
used for many years. To lower androgen levels, aerobic exercises
may be beneficial. This may also help stress reduction which can
be an aid to slow the loss of hair. Senanoa repens/saw palmetto,
a DHT inhibit talk and a herb. Fewer side-effects and less
expensive than products such as dutasteride, or finesteride.
Resveratrol is a lipase inhibitor, made from grape skins.
Chinese herbs and Chinese medicine may be tried. Seek help
from
qualified acupuncturists, herbalists and holistic medicine
practitioners. Beta Sitosterol, found in oils of seeds, may also
help by lowering cholesterol. Use an extract, as the heavy
consumption of oils can aggravate the hairloss problem.
As we all know, baldness in males, is more common than females -
thank goodness!
Baldness can be caused by a number of factors, including the
trigger, an enzyme called 5-alfa reductase, which converts
testosterone into dihydrotestosterone - DHT, which can inhibit
growth in genetically fine hairs. Some female baldness may be a
result of an oestrogen reduction. Oestrogen usually counteracts
testosterones balding action. Tight ponytails and corn rows,
could also contribute to female hair loss, as may constantly
wearing a hat.
This short article can, in no way, cover the wide spectrum of
causes and treatments for hair loss. Search the internet through
search engines such as Google, etc and seek help from
alternative health practitioners, as well as traditional western
medicine.
