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.

Treating Rapid Hair Loss In Women Without The Hats And Scarves

By John Farikani

It can be totally shocking to wake up one morning and realize that you are suddenly one of the millions of victims of rapid hair loss. It seems like just a few days ago you had a healthy head of hair. Sure, you noticed that you were leaving some behind in the shower and a little behind in your hair grooming products, but now it looks like you've last at least 25% of your original thickness. How did this happen? And how did it happen so quickly?

When rapid hair loss strikes, it usually strikes pretty hard and fast, leaving no prisoners in its wake. Some men and women report that they are losing their hair so quickly that they can literally run their fingers through their own scalp and come away with chunks of their own hair that is coming out by the roots.

So what do you do? Are there any revolutionary new treatments on the market or do you have to sneak off and try to find suitable hats, scarves, and other head coverings? Start with the basics and then work your way up from there. The most revolutionary concept in treatment for hair health is the value of nutrition.

For anyone who is struggling to keep their own natural growing hair one of the first checklists you need to deal with is a dietary checklist. Lots of whole foods and no processed foods (the food that comes out of a box) should become a priority.

The "healthy hair" vitamins and minerals include zinc, magnesium, folic acid, niacin, and several members of the Vitamin B family. B6, B7, and B12 are all part of the "healthy hair" family of nutrients that need to be added to your diet.

In some cases, Minoxidil can help the situation. This will not be true for all forms of rapid hair loss. Minoxidil helps those who are suffering from thinning and balding hair thanks to a hormone known as DHT. If the hormone DHT is responsible for your hair problems, then Minoxidil should be able to fight it. If there are other issues in play (like nutrition or illness) then you have to take a different tack.

These include Vitamin B 7, B 6, and B 12, niacin, magnesium, folic acid, and zinc. You'll have to ask your family physician how much of each supplement is appropriate for your body weight and type. Add in a natural root stimulator and within a few short weeks you should be able to see noticeable improvement when it comes to rapid hair loss.
