For you to decide on the best hair loss treatment you should know what caused the problem. There are three question you should ask yourself to help figure out the cause.
The first question is, has your hair been falling out suddenly or by the handful? If you answered yes then go see your doctor. He’ll refer to your problem as telogen effluvium. That means that for some reason your hair follicles have entered the ‘telogen’ or resting phase of your hair cycle, which basically means your shedding.
The positive side is that it is usually temporary, brought on by physical or emotional stress. Once the underlying cause is delt with your hair should resume it’s anagen (growth) phase and your excessive shedding will stop.
Telogen effluvium is best treated with patience and extra care. You can if you’d like take a hair growth supplement that promotes hair growth. Once your hair starts growing again you’ll want to stay away from hot combs and hairstyles that put a lot of stress on the roots for a while.
The second and third questions are related so I’ll state them here. They are: Are you losing your hair gradually in the shape of a pattern and does your family have a history of baldness? If you answered yes then your not alone. Millions of men suffer from pattern baldness as well as women although women usually lose their hair all over and not in any kind of pattern.
It’s called androgenic alopecia and it means that your hair loss is caused by the hormone androgen. Half of all men battle with this and the number of women who suffer from it is growing every year.
There is medication that you can take to block the production of androgens but most people do not care to experience the side effects that come with these drugs. Not only that but it seems to work more so for men then women. There is however a more natural way to deal with this.
The best hair loss treatment for men and women with androgenic alopicia is the gentle, natural approach recommended by hormonal specialists. If you suffer from alopecia, it would be worth your while to learn more about it.
