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.

Menopause And Hair Loss Is Not A Myth

By Robert Sanders

Are you one of the many people who doesn't know that menopause and hair loss is real and quite common? There is nothing to be ashamed of because most believe this is a problem that mostly affects men. However, hair loss is very common in women.

Although it is not as common for women's hair to fall out, when it happens, it leaves them feeling stressed and quite depressed about it.

Regardless of that, their problem is quite different from the pattern baldness that affects males. Male pattern baldness causes men to lose their hair in specific ways, often leading to the horseshoe that remains after all falls out.

Women-pattern baldness is typically the thinning of the hair on the top of the scalp. For many, it can get quite thin, leaving women feeling very insecure and trying different hairstyles to conceal the problem. Unfortunately, they usually opt for styles which can further damage hair follicles, leading to more thinning.

Do you know any women who are going through menopause and hair loss? It is a trying time for them. Not only are they having to deal with the hormonal changes that come with menopause, they are also dealing with an embarrassing and emotionally crushing problem.

Up until recently, women had no real choice in treating their hair. They only had perms, ponies and teasing which would help them conceal their problem. Fortunately, all this has changed and women have the option of choosing between topical solutions and oral medications that are prescribed by the doctor. The truth is, they work. In the worst case scenario, the medications will at least maintain the remaining hair from falling out. The bottom line is that now something can be done about menopause and hair loss that will help with regrowth and maintenance.

Why Am I Losing My Hair? Discover How to Not Only Prevent Hair Loss, But How to Regrow it Fast!

By Julia Garsons

Some of us keep asking ourselves: "Why Am I Losing My Hair?"

Well I guess that you have come here looking for some answers to either help you regrow your hair, or help prevent hair loss.


I say, Why not have both?

There are so many products on offer today offering us a full head of hair in the shortest time possible. Most focusing on the hair regrowth, but what about actually fixing the initial problem...what is causing my hair to fall out in the first place?

Luckily for myself, only suffering a mild form of losing my hair, I have been fortunate enough not to fall into the category that two thirds of men fall into. That is starting to lose there precious hair from there early twenties. With changing social scenes, working more hours, ever changing lifestyles, many females are experiencing hair loss too.


Well luckily for you and me, there is now a treatment that not only helps you regrow your hair, but prevents the root of the hair loss problem.


And to add to this...thousands of people are starting to regrow their hair and are now experiencing more hair than when they were in there 20's.


So this is great news for you and me, knowing that we no longer have to worry about hair loss.

I am not talking about forking out lots of money on expensive laser treatments or shampoo's.

By now you have probably heard in your research about the excessive cost of laser treatment with its ongoing consultations. It can get very expensive. Although there are small results to be had, its not cheap. And does not actually get to the root of the problem.


Hair loss treatments such as shampoo's have been proven to be very ineffective in treating this problem due too only offering the scalp to breathe better. A clean scalp is essential in helping you to regrow your hair, but is only one tenth of the battle.

So what is the only hair loss treatment that is guaranteed to prevent hair-loss and regrow new hair?

The only natural treatment which has been guaranteed to work is Provillus. It has been designed to:


1. Prevent losing hair by blocking the testosterone byproduct known as DHT.

2. And regrowing new hair by increasing oxygen, nutrient and blood flow to the problem follicles, while activating other dormant ones.

Neglecting the initial cause of hair loss can prove ineffective once short term treatments such as laser treatments are completed.
