Best Products for Hair Loss: My Sink is Full of Hair – Give Me Something!
Heredity, hormones, stress, diet, illness, poor hair
care – all are factors in hair loss. Stress, diet and
illness are more temporary conditions and usually
the hair loss is reversed when the anxiety-
producing conditions dissipate, when the diet
is improved, when hair care improves and when
an illness is cured or gotten under control
.Heredity and hormones are different matters,
however. Heredity is an irreversible condition. You
are a product of your parents, and hair loss is
often inherited. Hormones are tricky, hidden
things, however, and they have different effects
on an individual basis. In a male, testosterone
abides abundantly. There are also enzymes
working on testosterone which product a
substance called DHT. DHT is now known to
circulate in the blood and cause other conditions,
one of which is the shrinking of hair follicles. When
hair follicles shrink enough, they are unable to
produce and push a new hair through. As old
hair dies, it is then not replaced.
In women, hormonal imbalances can also cause
hair loss. Pregnancy, childbirth and menopause
all cause significant hormonal change and
imbalances with both physical and mental effects. These changes can also cause hair loss, both temporary and permanent.Hair loss and re-growth products have
been around for centuries. In ancient times, a
variety of herbal and oil-based remedies were
concocted and used by Egyptians, Aztecs,
Mayans, and American Indians, all with some
degree of effectiveness for some people.Modern
medical research has focused on ways to
re-open and stimulate “dead” hair follicles, so
that hair growth can re-occur naturally, as well
as keep the healthy follicles healthy. Thus, a number
of products have become available, both by prescription and over-the-counter. They are advertised on radio and television and all over the Internet. One need
only do a “google” search on hair loss, and there are literally thousands of sites and products for investigation.One ingredient in many hair loss
products is minoxidil. Research studies have
shown that in about 80% of the participants, products containing this ingredient are effective in slowing hair loss and, in some, causing regrowth to occur.
Probably the most well known is Rogaine,
available at any drug store, in varieties for both
men and women. Most scientifically-produced
products do have separate products for males
and females, because, of course, hormones in
each are different and of different levels.
An additional product containing minoxidil is
Provillus, and, again, studies have shown it to
be effective. The difference between Provillus
and other similar products is that the makes have
added Azelaic Acid, an additional ingredient
which appears to enhance the follicle repair in
both men and women. Provillus has been the
subject of many studies, just as the other
products, and level of effectiveness may be
higher.
Provillus is available for both men and women,
and the treatment is a combination of a topical
liquid applied to the balding areas, as well as a
pill or capsule to be taken in conjunction with
the liquid. The critical key to effectiveness,
according to its makers, is the addition of the
azelaic acid, however, the correct amount of
this acid is most important piece of this treatment.
As with most hair loss products, the makers
recommend patience. It may take from 3-6
months for improvement to occur, however,
there is a money-back guarantee up to 180
days if one is not satisfied that it is working
for him/her.Medical research is far from
finished in its exploration of products which
will stop hair loss and promote regrowth of
“permanent” loss.
As this research continues, existing producers
will undoubtedly alter their products accordingly.
Fortunately, a lot of money is being poured
into the research, so hair loss sufferers, take
heart!
