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.

Pony tails and other restricting hair styles can also cause hair loss for many people. It puts a constant strain on the hair resulting in damage and in most cases hair loss around the area being held by the restrictive bands.

Hair styling tools as well as perms and hair dyes also take a toll on your hair. All the manufactured chemicals and extreme heat are just too much for the hair shaft. Repeated use can cause the hair to eventually start thinning.

One little known cause of hair loss is medication. Many people never have problems with the issue until they begin a new medication regiment, but they never make the connection. A lot od medicines list hair loss as a side effect. You can battle this cause be asking your doctor for alternative treatments or ways you can prevent the side effect.

Lastly, make sure to get regular check-ups. Many different medical conditions present hair loss as a symptom. This is usually caused by changes in hormone levels, but can be caught early or prevented all together with regular physicals.

If your hair is already thinning and falling out you shouldn't get overly concerned just yet. Many of these causes can be pin pointed very easily and reversed in time to save your hair.
