Hair Loss: Exploring Solutions

Losing or starting to lose your hair sucks. It can be one of the single most stressful things that can have happened to you during your life. The world in general is very focused on personal appearance and you can see how much of this is focused on hair from the huge number of tv ads you can see for hair-related products right?

When you feel that you don’t fit in with what magazines and tv adverts show then it can make you feel excluded and even unwanted. For some people lose their hair, and they can become ashamed and stop living their lives as actively as they used to. I understand this feeling only too well in a been-there-and-done-that kinda way.

The Historical Quest for Hair Loss Treatments

Wanting to stop your hair from falling out isn’t a modern fad either. For thousands of years, people have been searching for hair loss treatments, remedies, and cures to stop their hair from falling out and/or regrow the hair they’d already lost. Sometimes people are willing to go to amazing extremes to regrow their hair and sometimes spend an absolute fortune to get their hair back.

It doesn’t matter what your background is losing your hair is upsetting. It affects the rich and poor of all nations and can change how people value themselves. It can even, sometimes, change how others see you. Most people are willing to pay any price to stop their hair from falling out or to stop the baldness from becoming worse

Understanding Hair Loss

One key point that many people miss is that there are so many different types of hair loss but we can split them up into two categories for the time being. The first is hereditary hair loss – this is a type of hair loss that occurs at a genetic level and that you inherited from one of your parents (probably your mother).

The other types are non-hereditary hair loss which has external causes – anything from stress to a hormone imbalance. This desperation has led to an entire industry that’s dedicated to solving or trying to solve the problem of hair loss. This is a multi-billion dollar industry that has a lot of crooked companies working in it producing products for sale to an eager market.

There are dozens, if not hundreds, of hair loss “cures” and remedies on the market that simply don’t work; they lack any form of medical proof that they can actually stop the balding process or regrow your lost hair. These crooks are on a win-win because they know that people are willing to buy into the dream of regrowing their hair; at almost any price.

Effective Treatments for Hair Loss

So does this mean there are no effective treatments for hair loss and that there’s nothing you can do? Absolutely not true. There are several treatments that are effective and there is always a solution to your hair loss problem – it just may not be quite what you expected when you began the journey to regrow your hair.
