Finding the Best Hair Loss Treatments

By John Alderson


There are many treatments and remedies for hair loss, as well as many reasons for the hair loss. You could be experiencing hair loss because of pregnancy or a certain medication you are taking. In cases of permanent hair loss, it can be trickier to find the right solution, but there are a variety of approaches, some of which might help you.

Hair transplant surgery is the most extreme solutions for hair loss. It is also the most likely method to work. Exhaust all options before you try this one. With several types of hair transplant surgery, you should do some research and consult with a reputable surgeon before considering this. You will not simply walk out of the operation with a full head of hair.

If your diet is rather unhealthy, you smoke, drink too much or have some other habits that can cause a build up of toxins, a change in these areas might be the solution. Giving up harmful habits that have been shown to contribute to hair loss is the first thing you will need to do, so that includes drinking too much and smoking. Even drinking lots of caffeine can be bad for you as it will dehydrate you. However when trying to detox drinking a lot of water will have positive effects.

If you've tried various natural hair loss remedies without success, or even if you haven't tried anything yet, you may want to look into Ayurveda, the healing tradition from India. Finding a practitioner who is qualified may be the next thing you want to do if you're serious about this, even though there are a few products both online and in stores that are good for your hair. The reason you should do this is that you can make sure your Ayurvedic treatment is personalized, as your condition will be considered fully. The suggestion of a change in diet and lifestyle will be given by an Ayurvedic doctor, and they can have many beneficial effects in addition to your hair. There are Ayurvedic treatments for the hair if you don't want to go as far as that, and these will include things like herbs, shampoos and essential oils.

There are certain medications that have been proven effective for hair loss, though they don't always work for everyone. For hair loss the FDA has approved Finasteride and Minoxidil (better known as Rogaine). The reality is that Rogaine is one of the best known treatments for what is known as male pattern baldness, it is only effective for about half the men who take it. Propecia or Finasteride has a better track record for this problem. If you have already lost all or most of your hair it is unlikely that any drug will restore it. Hair transplant surgery may be your only option.

The best natural approach is to simply eat a healthy diet in addition to being gentle with your hair and using natural products on it. For a price you can get medication and medical procedures that can reverse hair loss, but you've got to be able to pay. You might discover that a few of these treatments for hair loss help you, but we have only touched on a few in this article..
