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.

Valuable Information On Balding Spots

By John Farikani

The moment you start losing the hair on your head you must be cautious that the loss of hair does not worsen. For those who don't have the right information this simple instruction can e very difficult to understand. So without the right advice on preventing and treating balding spots the bald will continue to be famed for being insecure. Luckily enough there has been progress in the department of hair loss that considerably revolutionises the future of the bald and insecure.

To understand how treatments and cures work it is crucial to know something called DHT. DHT is a hormone created from testosterone that blocks the skin pores through which hair follicles grow. So the moment this hormone enters the bloodstream hair growth stops almost immediately and balding ensues. The process of balding is thus very interlinked to such a hormonal imbalance.

For those out there who haven't had balding spots and are worried if they're going to have them i would strongly advise them to improve the nature of their diet. This is because there are certain nutrients that encourage the growth and strengthening of hair strands all over the body. Vitamins A and B as well as folic acid are good sources of such nutrients. If you're experiencing hair loss you must ensure that you eat vitamin A from soyabeans and whole wheat. Vitamin B is derived from carrots; eggs; milk and cheese. Having a diet like this will significantly stop further hair loss.

But for the male whose eager to be admired once again by flirtatious women there has been a great breakthrough. There is a chemical known as Minoxidil that is used to revive the growth of hair where it stopped growing. If this was unleashed during the time of Jesus the scriptures might have been written differently. The reason is that it works like magic by killing DHT, the hormone that stops hair growth. Once DHT is out of the way it is only natural for hair to start growing again.

And even though medicines like Minoxidil have amazing powers using them won't bear much fruit if you're reckless in the way that you handle your hair. Make sure that you don't comb your hair when it's dry, only do so when it's wet and moist. If you comb it whilst it's dry the obvious result is that the breaking of hair follicles damages skin pores. So whilst you're taking Minoxidil the pores will still remain damaged and unable to channel fresh hair to the surface. Take care of your hair if you want to derive the most benefits out of hair loss treatments and cures.

The process of converting testosterone to DHT is hampered by a herb called Saw Palmetto. If you take this herb the manufacture of DHT stops instantly and so will the extension of your balding spots. Take a good portion of this herb together with Mustard Oil and Henna to get a better overall effect. Mustard Oil and Henna are very effective when it comes to making your hair strong enough to counteract balding spots.

I wish you the very best.
