hair loss remedies


Conventional hair loss remedies and treatments focus not on a hair loss cure, but on promoting hair growth or hiding hair loss. The first priority should be to recognize and treat identifiable causes of hair loss, such as medications, infections, nutritional deficiencies, medical conditions or hormonal imbalances.
Certain drug treatments may help to slow or prevent the development of pattern baldness in men or women. Minoxidil (brand name: Rogaine), is available without a prescription and is used for pattern baldness and alopecia areata. It is directly applied as a liquid or foam to the scalp. New hair growth may be shorter and thinner than normal but sufficient enough to hide bald spots or blend with existing hair. It may take several weeks to notice an effect of this hair loss treatment, and new hair growth slows down soon after you stop taking it. Another drug, finasteride (brand name: Propecia), is available by prescription only. It comes in pill form and is only indicated for men, as it poses a serious danger to women of child-bearing age – even skin contact can result in the absorption of the drug and lead to birth defects in pregnant women. It works by stopping the conversion of testosterone into DHT.
