Admitting that I have tried over 30 different hairloss products is a bit embarrassing not mention the outlandish costs involved. My first experience was with a mail order shampoo some years before I started my first natural health website. This product had a flashy add campaign running both on radio and television. On day after hearing it was guaranteed to re-grow hair I just had to have it. It was an expensive product consisting of a couple of shampoos and conditioners that was over $100 per month and was automatically shipped and billed each month. As time went by it became apparent that this miracle cure was not one of the best hairloss products, at least for me. Today after over 29 additional attempts things are looking up and my hairline is much how it was eight years ago.
In determining what are the best hairloss products for you it is important to gain an understanding of the primary cause of balding, eliminate any contributing factors, and be proactive rather than reactive. Let’s take each one of these contributing factors and briefly break them down.
The primary cause of balding is damage to the hair follicles by the androgen hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT). In fact it is estimated that nine out of every ten cases of balding in men and one in four cases of balding in women are attributable to DHT accumulation deep within the hair follicle. This process causes follicles to shrink to a point where new hair growth becomes impossible, leading to an imbalance in the hair replacement cycle, thus causing gradual ongoing hair loss.
Most of us are guilty of contributing to our hair loss. We may not eat right, attempt crash weight loss programs or use inexpensive harsh shampoos that lather up great but actually damage both scalp and hair. We might be under great stress in our daily lives or feel the need to blow dry, curl, color, comb, and manipulate our hair to excess. All of the above factors can contribute to balding and make the job of even the best hairloss products more difficult.
Taking proactive action is perhaps the most important step in both reversing the balding process and maintaining your remaining hair. There is no better example of this than when looking at the research findings for minoxidil (Rogaine). Minoxidil is considered by many to be one of the very best hairloss products. It works by enlarging follicles, prolonging the growth phase, and stimulating resting hairs to grow. It slows the balding process in nine out ten instances but is only able to produce new growth in 3 out of ten instances. And even when successful in producing new growth often times the hair is fuzzy or fine.
What Next? Finding the is no easy task. Nevertheless, there are currently a handful of hair re-growth products (specially formulated for both men and women) which have been proven effective both in blocking harmful hormones and bringing the all important dead hair follicles back to life. These specially formulated treatments can be used both as a preventative tool, starting before hair loss becomes severe, or after loss of hair has become noticeable. Whatever the level of balding or thinning you are experiencing these products could be just what is needed to overcome this latest life challenge.
