What if I told you that most hair loss products on the market today won’t do you one bit of good. There’s a lot of products out there that have no scientific backing on their effectiveness at all and their makers are only trying to make a quick buck.
Before you even think of spending money on a product you need to be aware of the factors that can contribute to hair loss in both men and women. Such factors are things like heredity, hormones, diet, stress, illness and even poor hair care.
The majority of those are only temporary but heredity and hormones are a little different. If the cause of your hair loss is heredity then it is considered for now to be permanent. Family genetics are responsible for that one.
Hormonal hair loss on the other hand can be treated. Most people who are experiencing hair loss fall into this category. The hormone responsible in males is called testosterone and when it mingles with a certain enzyme in converts into dht (dihydrotestosterone).
According to studies done on dht it is proven that dht is the main cause of hair loss in men. Dht does play a role in womens hair loss but so do many other factors such as: childbirth, pregnancy, menopause, etc, most of which are only temporary but in some cased can be permanent.
Interestingly noted is the fact that hair loss is a centuries old problem. Egyptians, Aztecs, Mayans and American Indians used a variety of herbs and oil-based remedies to combat hair loss with a certain degree of effectiveness.
Today medical research has found ways to re-open and stimulate ‘dead’ hair follicles so that new hair growth can occur naturally as well as keeping the healthy follicles ‘healthy’.
No matter what product you decide to go with, make sure that it has most if not all the ingredients listed below. As well, you’ll want the ingredient Minoxidil to be listed in any topical solution that you buy as it has been FDA approved to slow down the hair loss process.
The following ingredients should be in any product you buy:
B-Vitamins
Magnesium
Zinc
Saw Palmetto
Stinging Nettle
Pumpkin
Eieuthero
Muria Puama
These are the must haves but there are others and when combined together they have proven to be the most effective at treating hair loss. If possible try to find a product that you can take orally and topically. Doing both will produce the best results.
Now that you know this you are far more equipped to find the best hair loss product for your needs.
