Hair Loss Treatment Tips to Update Your Current Regimen

While there is always a corresponding hair loss treatment for most of each case of hair loss, it can’t be helped if sometimes they just don’t work. Most of the times, it takes a combination of the right products and/or tools, the right attitude toward the hair, and a better lifestyle to get maximum results.

In that case, you might have to give your current hair loss regimen a slight change in some areas. Here are some additional recommendations which may prove useful on your part.

If you are suspicious about synthetic chemicals present in most hair loss treatments, then you can just go herbal. Certain herbs found in South America such as stinging nettle, catuaba, mutamba, sarsaparilla, and saw palmetto may be used to address the symptoms of androgenetic alopecia (AGA) or pattern baldness. These herbs are known to serve the purpose although a much more solid scientific evidence is still required to solidify the conclusion.

The conventional methods of treating this condition are through using synthetic-based drugs such as finasteride and minoxidil. They both work at a molecular level and have shown some effectiveness in preventing further hair loss and restoring hair.

In severe cases of androgenetic alopecia (balding has affected almost the entire scalp or when the diffuse hair thinning is very visible), surgical hair restoration is perhaps the only option since the follicles at this time are dead. No non-surgical hair restoration method, to date, can reanimate dead hair follicles. To slow down the process of hair loss, it is essential to address it as early as possible, wherein the symptoms are already visible. Husband of Duchess Kate Middleton, Duke William, is suffering from the moderate symptoms of AGA.

In cases of temporary hair loss such as telogen effluvium, correcting any abnormal hormonal change is necessary. Telogen effluvium is common in women and is triggered by certain factors including the use of oral contraceptives, a poor nutrition, trauma, child delivery, thyroid problems, stress, and such other events that disrupt the hormonal balance. Telogen effluvium usually takes place a few months since the disruption of the hormonal balance. Medical examination is crucial to be able to have a full understanding of the underlying causes of the condition, and also to know which treatment is appropriate.
