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.

What Has Research Shown About Magnesium And Hair Loss?

By John Farikani

Many people each day wake to find hair on their pillow and that they have had to either wear hats, head scarves or have had to re-style their hair in order to cover up the signs of hair loss. I am sure that as you are reading you have suffered the same trauma or know someone who has. Am I right? Well what I would like to tell you today are a secret I discovered to help me with my own hair loss problem, the secret I wish to tell you about is regarding magnesium and hair loss.

I have tried many different lotions and potions before discovering this secret, and what I have found is that they have done nothing but make my remaining hair smell extremely nice, or the total opposite. One even gave me a bad itchy head and raised allergic reaction so I decided to look for an alternative that was natural and had worked for others.

At this point I thought I would give anything to have my hair back, I would give my right arm in order to get back what years had taken away, but found there was no need as this secret was given to me free of charge and this is what I intend to pass on to you.

My secret is Magnesium. Yes this one mineral, or rather lack of it could be way you are thin on top. Specialists in the caused of hair loss have found when looking into why some men and women suffer from thinning and/or baldness and one of the common factors is that they have a lower amount of magnesium in their diets than those who do not suffer.

You do not have to eat your weight in fast food, as this will cause even more problems, you will however be able to get the magnesium you need in the right dose through hair loss supplements as well as ointments rich in it. Such hair stimulating products are not just for men they are also for women too and are entirely natural so you do not have to worry about side effects.

It was a few weeks after discovering these products that I saw new growth of hair, the only way I could describe it is like that of a baby. Over the next few weeks it began to thicken as did the remaining hair I had.

The one thing I feel it is my responsibility to tell you though is that if you wait too long until you have only a few hairs left, then this product will not work. The reason for this is that the magnesium helps to stimulate the re-growth of hair, and is able to do this if your hair follicles have slowed down in production, but if you have very little or no hair the follicles have already died and there is no way to bring them back to life, so such products are only suitable and effective in those who have thinning hair or patches. The magnesium has proven successful with many people and my hair has stayed just where it should be... On my head not on my pillow.

Understanding The Role Of DHT Inhibitors In Hair Loss Treatments.

By Peter Albertson

Over the last few dozen years scientific research on hair loss and the causes of hair loss has provided some excellent answers and baldness treatments. Probably the biggest breakthrough in research about baldness treatments has been understanding the role of DHT, (or what goes by the scientific name of Dihydrotestosterone), in causing hair loss. And research has also shown the importance of DHT blockers in hair restoration treatments.

DHT, (or what is scientifically known as Dihydrotestosterone), is what is known as an androgen. An androgen is a compound that controls the development of particularly male characteristics in men. Dihydrotestosterone is formed from the male hormonal testosterone in the adrenal glands, prostate, testes and in particular in the hair follicles.

DHT is responsible for controlling the development of male characteristics such as hair, including facial hair, during puberty.

As you probably know male pattern baldness, or androgenic alopecia, is something that you inherit from your parents and other generations. However although male pattern baldness is known to be genetic the reasons are now much better understood and have to do with the development of DHT in the male body. It also has a role in female pattern baldness.

The situation seems to be that those who inherit the genes cause male pattern baldness develop far more DHT than those who do not. It is the role of DHT in the body that causes hair loss.

Estimates range up to 95 percent of hair loss is caused by the action of DHT in the body.

Effectively what happens is that the Dihydrotestosterone gathers around the base of the hair follicle and strangles the hair by means of reducing the amount of nutrients available to that hair follicle. It forms a sort of waxy base around the hair follicle.

As hair depends hugely on an adequate supply of nutrients this means that the hair struggles to reproduce successfully and becomes weak and thinner.

As you can see the role of DHT in hair loss is significant and so the role of DHT blockers is also extremely significant. New research has shown that by inhibiting the role of Dihydrotestosterone in the body it is possible to regrow hair that would have been lost without the role of the DHT blocker, but that, most importantly, by increasing the ability of the hair to absorb nutrients generally hair will regrow..

The most well-known successful hair loss treatment is called minoxidil and this is the first product that has been approved by the FDA to use as a hair loss treatment. Research shows clearly that minoxidil works well however if you have a bald head will still not work to regrow your hair.

The best available hair loss treatment that use minoxidil doesn't stop there. As I mentioned good hair nutrition is an essential part of hair health. The very best baldness treatment has minoxidil as an active ingredient as well as a range of essential hair nutrients which are taken orally.

This is an essential step in the hair restoration process. There is no point in incresing the ability of the hair to reabsorb the essential nutrients without providing the essential nutrients at the same time.

One product does this extremely successfully.

This helps, hopefully, you understand the role of DHT in hair loss and the role of DHT inhibitors in the best baldness treatments, and their limitations.

The very best hair loss treatment uses minoxidil together with a range of essential hair nutrients. Visit my website to find out which one.

Do You Have Hair Loss? Vitamin Deficiency May Well Be The Cause.

By Peter Albertson

If you're finding that over the last few years you're suffering from hair loss, vitamin deficiency may well be contributing to that. Lets consider if there is a link between vitamins and hair loss and whether it is possible, by improving your diet, to use vitamins for hair loss to help combat that approaching baldness problem.

It is quite clear that the average American diet is very low in essential nutrients such as vitamins and minerals. Our diet is too high in fast foods and processed foods and we eat too much sugar, salt and saturated fat. Whilst these foods are very tasty they are very low in essential nutrients. So it is now obvious that our poor diet contributes to many of our health concerns and there are some of these, like heart disease, that can kill us.

It seems that there is a clear link between our poor health and our poor diet and it also makes sense that our poor diet can compromise the health of our hair. Clearly the health of our hair is heavily dependent upon the nutrients available to it from our diet. This leads to thinning hair.

But despite there being a clear diet hair loss link can we, by improving our diet, effectively use vitamins for hair loss reversal? Can you start to regain your hair simply by improving your diet to improve the supply of nutrients?

By far the majority of men who suffer from baldness are suffering from male pattern baldness. Male pattern baldness is a condition which limits the ability of hair follicles to take up essential nutrients because of the action of the male hormone DHT. The ability of the hair to take up nutrients is limited and where, by reason of poor diet, there is also a lack of nutrients available, the problem becomes worse. However simply increasing the supply of essential nutrients through dietary improvements does not alter the fact that DHT restricts the ability of hair follicles to take up those nutrients.

If male pattern baldness is causing your thinning hair improving your diet will not reverse this, though it may slow down.

As well as improving the nutrients available to the hair it is essential to improve the ability of the hair to take up those nutrients. The good news is that one product recognises the importance of both these factors and so supplies a range of essential vitamins and minerals important for hair health together with natural ingredients such as Saw Palmetto which has been shown to reduce the effect of DHT, and also supplies a topical application to increase blood supply to their hair follicles which also improves the ability of the follicles to take up nutrients.

So clearly there is a hair loss vitamin deficiency link, but if male pattern baldness is causing your thinning hair it's unlikely you can reverse it simply by improving your diet. It is important that not only is there a better supply of essential hair nutrients but also that hair follicles are much better able to absorb those nutrients at the same time.

Of course improving your diet has a wide range of other health benefits and you ought to make significant dietary changes for this reason, and this will also benefit the health of your hair. But if the cause of your thinning hair is male pattern baldness you ought also consider the use of a product with a two pronged approach, namely increasing the ability of hair follicles to take up important nutrients together with an adequate supply of these nutrients.
