Best Baldness and Hair Loss Cure?
Saturday, July 11th, 2009In the search for a baldness cure and hair loss treatment to regrow hair..
The hair is often touted to be one’s crowning glory. One can spend hundreds or even thousands to maintain its sheer and style. For many American men and women, ones hair can be a source of confidence. Indeed, great hair can help build self esteem. Not just a few beauty products and regimens have been devoted to keeping hair healthy, strong and to prevent our crowning glory from falling.
For many, losing hair can be very embarassing and may even impact on the way we see and carry ourselves. It is no wonder then that those who are going bald, have embarked on the search for the ultimate baldness cure.
Hair loss or baldness, occurs when certain chemicals or hormones such as dihydrotestosterone which in present in the body, become abundant or dominant. This can cause hair follicles to gradually shrink and die thus disabling these from producing or regenerating new hair.
Baldness can be caused by certain medications or it can be genetic. Surveys and studies show that about 50% of the male population in the United States find themselves affected by male pattern baldness upon reaching age 50.
However, there is no sure fire, tried and tested baldness cure.
Certain medications originally intended for, say, hypertension or an enlarged prostate have been known to stimulate hair growth and in effect address the pproblem of baldness. However these methods and medication works in varying degrees and in varying lengths of time. It may take 6-12 months or as much as 18 months beofre hair actually grows back.
Worse, it may not even be effective for some individuals.
As yet, we have yet to determine an exact medication, product or pill that is actually a baldness cure. Certain products or food supplement available in the market can do only as much as to slow the progression of baldness or hair loss down.
Thus, that much said, many individuals would agree that the best baldness cure would be to avoid those that may stimulate baldness and hair fall by taking proper hair and scalp care seriously.
Certain herbs like aloe vera have been known to help reduce baldness by stimulating hair follicles. Aloe vera also helps thicken hair grains or textures. Leaves of the aloe vera plant have so much sap. Cut a leaf off the plant and use this to apply the sap on your scalp. Do this regimen on a weekly basis.
Also known to strengthen hair follicles is virgin coconut oil. Apply liberally on the scalp at least twice a week. This not only stimulates the hair follicles it also keeps the scalp healthy and clean and will complement the natural oils already found in our hair keeping it always shiny.
Massaging the scalp also keeps our hair and scalp healthy by stimulating blood circulation in the skin on our head. Constant massages have been known to delay baldness or hair loss as this keeps hair follicles stimulated and hair roots strong. This also relaxes us and relieves us from everyday stress which in turn can cause falling hair and consequently permanent baldness.
