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.

Natural Hair Regrowth Treatment Can Save Hair Loss, Females Have Found

By Taira Granley

Hair loss in women, although not as frequent as in men, can have a very negative affect on self image. It can affect almost 66% of all women at one time or another. It starts as crown thinning hair loss. Female pattern baldness can become more pronounced over time due to a naturally occurring hormone called DHT, Di-Hydrotesterone, converted in the body from testosterone.

DHT is needed at low levels in the body for normal healthy functions. If it concentrates in the hair follicle of the scalp, DTH can degrade the follicle until it dies and cannot produce hair. This leads to the condition referred to as pattern baldness.

This condition may be reversed by the use of a DHT blocker. These blockers protect the hair follicles from being attacked by the hormone and allow them to function normally. The safest DHT blockers you can get are all natural products. With the revolution in natural and organic products, the marketplace is full of great solutions to help with pattern baldness. Certain herbs have been successfully used for this condition for centuries.

Some natural shampoos are specifically formulated at reducing the build up of DHT. These contain blockers that keep the DHT from bonding to hair and are usually very simple to use. Since it is made from natural ingredients, a hair loss shampoo is non-toxic and provides hair and scalp with needed amino acids, proteins and minerals.

Saw Palmetto is a very important ingredient to look for in hair restoring products. It is very good at stopping the conversion of testosterone into DHT. Lavender oil and rosemary oil have always been used for the conditioning and treatment of hair and scalp problems. The ancients used concoctions of bay and nettles to get rid of dandruff and to restore dull hair.

If you are experiencing hair loss, watch your diet. Weak scalp follicles have been known to be strengthened by drinking green tea. Four cups per day will help build your hair again. Healthy hair also needs minerals and vitamins for growth. Vitamins b & d, zinc, magnesium, copper, iron, protein and biotin are the best for great looking hair. These nutrients can be found in turkey, nuts, eggs, chicken and spinach.

For an easy and simple treatment for cleansing the scalp, massage olive oil into your hair and leave it overnight, washing it out in the morning with a mild shampoo.

Natural, mild shampoos are available at your neighborhood health food store. Just make sure that these shampoos are free of Sodium Laureth Sulphate. Sodium Laureth Sulphate has been linked to hair loss in many people.
