Hair Loss Young men experiencing bald spots or receding hairlines may react in a
number of different ways. Some just grin and bear it, while others shave their heads completely - it looks "cool" and is generally
considered more acceptable and younger looking than the alternative. Still others are devastated by their hair loss and decide to do
whatever they have to to correct it. (Older men exhibit these same responses too!) Women who are experiencing more than normal
hair loss usually take it much more seriously - no matter how young or old they are. They view it as a terrible intrusion into their
professional and/or personal lives - an uninvited guest who must be gotten rid or at whatever cost.
There is no "one size fits all" solution or treatment in hair loss prevention. Every person is unique, your body is
different than everyone else's, and it responds differently to various treatments. Once you decide to address your hair loss problem,
the first step is to rule out any potential medical causes - a visit to your physician is a good idea. Hair loss can sometimes be a
sign of illness or infections - they're not the most common causes, but you have to rule them out.
Second, take stock of your diet, your lifestyle, and your stress levels. If you consume junk food regularly, stop! Get
yourself on a diet that contains good protein, iron, lots of fruits and vegetables, and healthy oils. And get with the exercise!
Exercise increases blood circulation, and that means circulation to your head. Increased circulation creates healthy cells, and
hair and hair follicles are made up of cells. Cells reproduce when they have enough energy to do so, and they don't have enough
energy if circulation is bad.
As mentioned above, you should do all you can to jettison as much stress from your life as possible. It's a well-known fact
that stress can lead to hair loss. Exercise is good for stress reduction, as well as other relaxation techniques such as yoga or
meditation. If you're recently experience a life-changing event such as death in the family, divorce, marriage, pregnancy or surgery
then these may be the root of stress that can lead to hair loss. You may want to seek counseling if you feel any such event might be
a contributer to the problem.
If your hair loss is due to natural causes such as genetics and heredity or hormonal changes in your body, and if you just aren't
prepared to lose your hair, then you can still do plenty about it. You have options, and you owe it to yourself to research them and
choose one that works for you - the sooner the better. Here are a few things to keep in mind while researching hair loss prevention
options:
- Make it your goal to explore as many options and products as you can. Many hair loss prevention products are
available on the Internet, and you can shop them in the privacy of your home. Try them out - if you find one that works for you,
stick with it. If you find one that doesn't them just move on to the next one - but don't give up!
- Try natural remedies which are available at any health/nutrition center or on hundreds of Internet sites. These work for
some people and are reasonably priced.
- Still no success? Consider inexpensive methods - hair pieces, wigs, extensions.
- If all else fails, or if you can't stand the idea of a wig, there is another solution: a hair transplant. The average
cost of this procedure is in excess of $10,000. It is expensive, but this is a last resort.
In the end, only you can decide if your hair loss if a problem in your life. If it is, you owe it to yourself and those
around you to do something about it. And don't lose your optimism. While you are exploring and experimenting, medical
researchers are spending millions of dollars trying to find the ultimate cure for hair loss. They are close.
