Hair today Gone Tommorrow

Balding is not something anyone would look forward to. Even though we are unable to stop aging we can help ourselves when it comes to hair loss.

Our hair does get thinner as we age and more for some than others but with today's medications and creams etc we may be able to slow this down.

I have looked into many hair loss remedies and have found some that are better than others in how they say the can slow down hair loss and some even say they will help your existing hair grow more and stronger. I do not know about that but have heard of some of the good some of them do.

Simple Natural Remedy For Hair Loss

By John Farikani

Excessive hair loss affects almost all of us at some point in our lives and while there are some medical treatments to help prevent hair shedding, there are some natural remedies for hair loss. Most men and women loose 50 to 100 hairs a day, but some loose many more which isn't normal and their may be an underlying problem.

Men and women seem to experience balding in different patterns with women loosing hair throughout their head and men seem to loose theirs in a pattern. Balding has a large range of causes from medical conditions to diet insuffienciences and many causes are pretty simple to fix. Sometimes balding is irreversible, but there are many natural ways to promote good hair growth.

Some balding suffers are simply suffering from inadequate diets, vitamin deficiency or excessive vitamin A in their diets. Many of the causes of balding can be fixed with a few tweaks to the diet or through introducing a daily vitamin or mineral.

The leading cause of balding is known as male patterned baldness, which is noticed from the loss of hair at the hairline of the forehead back to the crown on the top of ones head. While it is most often seen in men, it can also affect women. However, women seem to loose hair all over the head rather than in a particular pattern.

DHT, a hormone produced by the body actually causes male patterned baldness. The hormone is released into the blood stream and chokes the healthy hair follicle until it is lost. So many people continue to search for a solution to their balding problems.

There is new help, with the FDA approved ingredient called Minixidil. It works against the DHT hormone promoting healthy hair growth and preventing the hormone from killing healthy hair follicles. It can also help to regrow dead hair.

There are several healthy steps we could all take to prevent excessive hair loss, such as introducing B6, Folic Acid and niacin into our daily rituals. We could also add some zinc and magnesium to our daily diets that would promote healthy hair growth.

Some men experience their testosterone converting to DHT, the hormone which chokes healthy hair follicles. A natural remedy for this is to introduce Saw Palmetto, an herb used to promote a healthy prostate, into the daily diet.

Almost all of us will suffer with some level of excessive hair loss during our lives. No matter if you have already suffered from hair loss or not, there may be a few steps that could help you retain a healthy head of hair. We don't go bald over night and there is no remedy that can regrow hair over night. However, there are natural remedies for hair loss that can promote healthy hair growth.
