You can refer to the many prominent balding men who are oozing with sex appeal and give yourself a boost. Think Vin Diesel. Bruce Willis. Jason Statham.
Yul Brynner. Take it as a type of defense mechanism . . . whatever makes you feel better.
On one hand, with modern science and technology, gone are the days where the only option is to accept the reality of it all. Currently, there is no existing
cure for baldness. However, scientists have come up with several tried and tested techniques to reverse the process. In other words, you don’t have to live
with it any longer.
Proven Hair Loss Treatments Today
Minoxidil
One of the two medications approved by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration is minoxidil (Rogaine). It comes in 5% solution for men and 2% for women.
Minoxidil stimulates hair growth by increasing the blood flow to the hair follicles in a process called vasodilation. Minoxidil is used to treat the condition
called androgenetic alopecia. It restores hair, but there’s the rub: it doesn’t stop the progression of hair loss. Therefore, you may have to look for a
treatment that blocks the real cause of the problem, which is dihydrotestosterone build-up.
Though one of the two foremost proven hair loss treatments today, minoxidil has side effects including shortness of breath, nausea, eye irritation,
itchiness, and such other allergic reactions.
Finasteride
Oral finasteride (Propecia) is the second medication which has been approved by the FDA. Finasteride is often advised in conjunction with minoxidil, as it is
a DHT blocker; therefore, it can reverse the hair loss process.
Finasteride is a selective 5-alpha reductase inhibitor and is only prescribed in men. Its side effects include increased risk of prostate cancer, loss of libido,
erectile dysfunction, and impotence.
Low-Level Laser Therapy
Low-level laser therapy is a light source treatment that renders light of a single wavelength. Like minoxidil, it doesn’t directly prevent hair loss. Instead, it
can be used in conjunction with a DHT-blocker, which does the work that minoxidil fails to do.
LLLT improves the blood circulation to the follicles. Aside from that, it also improves cellular metabolism by increasing the cell’s available energy.
This therapy is one of the widely-used and proven hair loss treatments in the United States and around Europe. It has no documented side effects. It is also
suggested to men and women with androgenetic alopecia.

Losing hair a new female woe
Hair loss is becoming more of a woman’s problem, no thanks to changing lifestyle patterns.
ACTORS Yul Brynner and Telly Savalas were bald, yet attractive. When you spot a man with no hair on the street, you wouldn’t give two hoots but when you see a woman with balding
patches, it’s only natural to do a double take.
It’s a rare sight indeed to spot a woman with anything less than her crowning glory, but these days, more and more women are complaining about losing hair.
According to findings by 101 Hair Care, which celebrates its 38th anniversary this year, more women are suffering from hair loss problems compared to males. More alarming is the
fact that teenagers and children as young as seven are losing hair as well.
“Women are balding at a faster rate than men,” says Fanny Ling, 101 Hair Care’s nutritionist. “In the past, we saw plenty of male pattern baldness but now due to lifestyle
changes, hormonal imbalances arising from stress and post-pregnancy, hair loss has become a woman’s problem.”
Common hair problems are caused by alopecia universalis (abnormality in the immune system), oily scalp, dandruff, as well as male and female pattern baldness.
“Female pattern baldness happens in the parting areas and usually arises during the postnatal period when mothers do not take care of their hair. They listen to their elders and
don’t wash their hair for a month. For the Chinese, confinement involves eating a lot of ‘heaty’ stuff, which makes the body temperature rise. This increases the metabolic rate
and causes a faster dead skin cycle, more dandruff and oil blockages,” explains Ling.
A normal, healthy person should not lose more than 30 strands of hair daily. If the amount of shedding is more than the growth of baby hair or there is no new growth, or the new
hair is growing slower than 0.03mm a day, then it is defined as hair loss.
“With emerging societal trends, lack of nutrition, weather and lifestyle changes, the body is affected, especially the hair. We’ve also discovered new hair loss problems such as
demodex, which are parasites living in the scalp. They steal the scalp’s nutrition and damage the cell walls, causing hair loss. After mating, they burrow into the skin, lay eggs,
introduce bacteria and infection to the skin,” says Ling.
These mites come from pets, are contagious, and can only be detected by a microscope. One of the obvious signs of mite activity is itching, crawling or tickling sensation on the
face and/or scalp. However, a lot of times, there is no itching and most people are not aware they are infested with demodex mites.
She adds, “The solution is to use different tonics and infrared energy to kill the mites. Since they feed on oil, we have to eliminate the oil on the scalp and starve them. We
have seen a lot of these cases in the past three years.”
These days, one out of 10 clients are below the age of 12, says Ling, and seven are female.
“Parents of teenagers bring them over because of a condition called trichotillomania, whereby they pluck or tug their hair unknowingly due to shyness, anxiety or inferiority
complex. If they keep plucking, the follicle will be damaged and it’ll be hard for the hair to grow back. We have to remind parents to provide encouragement to their children,”
says Ling.
Trichologist Rozanna Chung says from the early 90s, more women have been seeking treatment for hair loss. The quick solution was hair replacement or hair rejuvenation.
“The former fell out of favour because it requires a lot of maintenance, money and time. With people being more active nowadays, they don’t have time to do their hair,” says
Chung, who used to run a clinic but operates from home now.
The lifespan of a healthy strand of hair is 1,000 days. If you suddenly lose a patch of hair, it could be due to trauma or shock. But if the loss is in the centre, chances are
it’s genetic.
“Every one of us goes through a period of hair thinning. The only question is whether it’s reversible or non-reversible. The job of a trichologist is to tell the difference. If
you’re destined to look like an egghead like your father, that’s how you’ll look! Science can only go that far,” she states matter-of-factly.
Hair loss is something very emotional, Chung reckons. People occasionally live in denial and allow themselves to fall prey to sales talk.
“It’s also a problem with teens due to popping antibiotics and anti-acne pills, and inadequate sleep. Your hair is the barometer of your health so the first thing I do is to check
their lifestyle before examining them physically,” says Chung, who writes for several magazines and speaks on radio shows about hair topics.
“Until ageing takes place, the point of no return is 70 years old. You can fake it till then or wear a hairpiece. I wear a hairpiece sometimes – when I feel the need to look like
a Hollywood superstar. No one can tell the difference. It’s like wearing a padded bra. If it makes you feel good, why not!”
Chung has recently created her own line of do-it-yourself shampoo under the RozzKelly banner. The base is a volumising shampoo and you can add on aromatherapy oil and colour
protection, according to what you need. The products flew off the shelves and will soon be available online.
Her simple four-step regimen to hair care health includes washing your hair as often as needed, using the right kind of product, not subjecting your hair to unnecessary chemical
abuses and looking after your health by not falling sick.
“You must also use a conditioner to smoothen out hair texture but never use it on the scalp. Any good hair care product must be able to be rinsed off with just water. If it leaves
a residue, it’s not a good product. I have nothing against natural products but too much of a good thing can also be bad,” concludes Chung.

Why men–and women–lose hair, and how to prevent it
When Los Angeles-based trichologist Michael Bernstein began his career at Svenson 30 years ago, hair loss was primarily a “young man’s problem.” But these days, over half of Svenson’s clients are composed of women, and Bernstein attributes this development to women’s lib.
The hair and scalp expert recently visited Manila to launch a series of US FDA-approved laser treatments designed to strengthen hair. Together with Svenson endorsers Mike Enriquez and RJ Ledesma, Bernstein also shared some facts and myths about hair loss.
It’s normal for men to go bald, he said. That’s why Svenson’s thrust when it comes to dealing with male clients is hair-loss prevention. It encourages men with a full head of hair like Enriquez and Ledesma to see them before the problem becomes evident.
Enriquez, for instance, tries to squeeze in twice-weekly sessions of Revage, a laser treatment to promote healthy hair. Ledesma, whose family has a history of hair loss, avails himself of Svenson’s hair loss-prevention program composed of three treatments, including removal of accumulated sebum on the scalp.
“You don’t wait for all your teeth to fall out before you go to the dentist,” Bernstein said. “You go to the dentist when you still have good teeth. It’s the same with your hair. There’s no point to wait for you to start losing your hair. You make sure you do everything to keep it.”
It’s quite normal for a guy to go bald, he added. It’s not an illness, but the result of shrinking hair follicles brought about by excess testosterone binding with 5-alpha reductase, an enzyme produced by the prostate.
“It’s probably nature’s way of telling young men between the ages of 16 to 30 to have children,” said Bernstein. “Testosterone, or the male hormone, is not the root of the problem per se. The problem starts when it binds with 5-alpha reductase.”
This binding action produces dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a powerful androgen that attaches itself to the hair follicles’ genetic receptors, causing them to shrink, which eventually leads to reduced anagen or the growth period of hair cycle among certain men.
Greater responsibilities
On the other hand, “with females, hair loss is not normal,” said Bernstein. “But female hair loss has become so prevalent, over 50 percent of our clients are now women.”
He attributes this to the growing number of women joining the workforce. It’s also now common for women to hold positions of power as company CEOs, presidents and managing directors. On top of this, they still have to work as mothers and homemakers after office hours.
“As a full-time homemaker, the woman’s traditional place was at home as nurturer and caregiver, while the man, fueled with testosterone, went out to hunt,” said Bernstein.
As more women assume greater responsibilities outside the home, they become more aggressive in order to get the job done. They’ve also unwittingly stimulated their testosterone levels in the process. The added stress eventually takes its toll on women, including their hair.
“Nowadays, women are under much more pressure than in the past,” Bernstein explained in Svenson’s press material. “They now compete on equal terms with men in the corporate world. In addition, they’re still expected to fulfill their roles as mothers and homemakers while still looking glamorous and sexy for their husbands.”
Barometer
Apart from activating women’s testosterone level, stress has been shown to inhibit the production of estrogen (female hormones) among women, which could result in fatigue and depression.
“That’s why hair is a great barometer of one’s health, particularly among women,” said Bernstein, who specializes in female pattern hair loss. “Anemia, thyroid imbalance, diabetes, anorexia, depression, menopause and crash dieting can all affect women’s hair. Hair can be considered the least important part of the body because it doesn’t support life. The body, like a computer, steals nutrients away from hair to support other areas.”
While men’s approach to hair loss should be preventive, women should approach it based on telltale signs such as falling hair while combing and having very dry, itchy scalp. Instead of brushing the problem aside, they should immediately see a trichologist.
One widely used treatment for women’s hair loss at Svenson is the topical application of phytoestrogens. It’s proven to be effective, said Bernstein, for women who lost hair because of menopause.
No miracle cure
Men who have gone bald and have lost their hair follicles shouldn’t fall for any miracle cures because there’s none. If they’re really concerned about their appearance, said Bernstein, they’re better off going to a reputable hair-care center like Svenson to have a nonsurgical hairweave done.
He also advised both men and women to keep their hair and scalp clean by shampooing regularly, even daily. He debunked the myth that shampooing daily could lead to hair loss. On the contrary, an oily scalp could impede hair growth.
“You wash your face everyday, and your scalp is just a continuation of your face,” he said. “So you should wash it everyday as well. I also recommend using a conditioner to make sure the hair combs smoothly.”
But there’s no truth to claims made by certain shampoos to stimulate hair growth. The most they can do, he said, is make existing hair strands appear thicker, but the effect is only temporary.
“Shampoo is formulated to wash your hair,” he said. “How long does it take for it to stay on your hair before you rinse it off—30 seconds, one minute? What can it do for one minute? The treatments we put on had to be left on for 12 hours to make it penetrate through the lower dermis.”

Some Good Things Never Last
Three years ago, I lost my wife through an accident. I was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of her alive in the hospital. The last thing I remember she did was to stroke my hair while lying on her deathbed.
Not long after, I noticed my hair started to shed. I was too stressed. I could hardly get by another day without her beside me. This made me lose hair gradually in clumps as the days passed. I consulted a doctor and found out it wasn’t just stress that’s causing my hair loss. I was diagnosed with androgenic alopecia.
Hair loss was one of the darkest days in my life.
I tried finasteride and minoxidil as prescribed, with little results. I stopped using them because eventually these caused unwanted side effects and that I couldn’t take anymore. I also tried to see other hair loss treatments. Most of them seemed like a scam and nothing really worked for me. I searched the net for a possible solution and I came across this product called Leimo and their free trial in UK.
I availed of it and received my Leimo Hair Treatment Pack. The pack consisted of all hair loss essentials like the Leimo Bio-Cleansing Shampoo, Thickening Conditioner, Deep Cleansing Scalp and Body Scrub, Scalp Therapy Day Treatment, and Scalp Serum Night Treatment. They’re all made from natural ingredients so I didn’t have to worry about unwanted side effects that may aggravate my health condition. The products are 100 percent safe. Surprisingly, in just a few days my hair stopped shedding and my scalp felt healthier.
What I like about the Leimo Bio-Cleansing Shampoo and Scalp and Body Scrub is that these cleanse my scalp from excess skin debris, pore-clogging grime, and excess sebum. The bioactive nutrients are complemented by the formulation of the Leimo Thickening Conditioner which invigorates my hair and scalp environment.
The Leimo Scalp Serum and Scalp Therapy continue to reduce the build-up of DHT in my scalp, improve its circulation, and the best part is that these stimulate new hair growths.
I’m so thankful that Leimo restored my hair. It wasn’t just my hair it restored, but my life as well. My hair is the last happy memory I have of my wife.
I am no one special. I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but in one respect I’ve succeeded as gloriously as anyone who ever lived by regaining the health of my hair and scalp. I’ve loved with all my heart and soul, and for me that has always been enough.

Treating Hair Loss The Advanced Procedure
FUE – What’s This?
FUE or Follicular Unit Extraction is among the latest techniques of hair transplant. The distinction of FUE from other transplant operation is that it’s much less invasive. It involves using precision tools, which are utilized to harvest 1 follicle of hair at a time.
FUE, like any other surgical hair transplant techniques, has its pros and cons. Nevertheless, in comparison with other surgical hair transplant methods, this 1 has more advantages than disadvantages. It’s less-invasive and leaves fewer and relatively smaller scars, unlike other hair transplant procedures that leave you with patches of scars around your head.
Among the disadvantages of FUE is it is a much less effectual technique in comparison with Follicular Unit Transplantation or FUT. In FUE, there is a greater danger that the follicles die throughout the extraction. An additional hitch is you’ll be needed to completely shave your head, that is a hindrance to numerous, but not to others.
Nevertheless, despite some advantages, lots of people still opt to go below FUE technique instead of other available transplantation methods. Since it’s less-invasive, most patients can resume their normal way of life shortly after the procedure. Simply because the physician creates only tiny slits, recovery is faster, which means they are able to resume their everyday activities sooner.
Laser Therapy Can Save Your Hair
In addition to FUE, an additional contemporary technique used in fighting hair loss is laser treatment. Laser treatment for hair loss is among the most efficient non-invasive methods to keep your hair thick and healthy. Many people swear to the efficiency of laser treatment against hair loss.
You can use hair growth goods to elevate the effectiveness of laser treatment. The effects of oral supplements, topical applications as well as other hair loss remedies are positively enhanced with the use of laser therapy. 9 out of 10 patients swear to see visible results in as early as 6 weeks after their laser therapy began, making laser treatment amongst probably the most efficient and simplest methods to stop hair loss.
Technically, laser remedies function by stimulating the hair follicles and providing them with the necessary nutrients. Furthermore, laser treatment helps improve blood flow, therefore enhancing the effects of other hair growth medicines and hastening their capability to promote hair growth.
Although deemed efficient for many people, not everyone may be a candidate for laser treatment. Your physician is still the 1 to understand which process is correct for you. You must also know that laser hair loss remedies may be really pricey, but I guess this statement goes with FUE, also.
If you are suffering from hair loss and wish to experience the beauty of thick locks once more, then try using among the available hair loss remedies. IF the oral and topical remedies do not function for you, maybe it’s time to ask your physician about using a more complicated technique like FUE or laser treatment.

How to deal with hair loss?
Women with female hair loss conditions are often desperate for a solution, but you should know that there are no miracle cures out there that will ‘magically' grow back hair or reverse the effects of a hair loss condition. Unfortunately, there are people and companies who will take advantage of your vulnerable state to try to sell you such lotions and potions. Needless to say, these should be avoided.
Plenty of hair loss solution options and effective treatments are available for female hair loss sufferers though, but you will need to see a GP for a diagnosis before you try any of them. For an accurate diagnosis of your condition, you may even need to see a dermatologist or a trichologist (a hair and scalp specialist).
Most female hair loss sufferers prefer the simpler option of managing their condition until it improves and their hair grows back.
Remember, before you can improve your female hair loss condition, you must seek proper medical advice and do plenty of research before spending money on a solution.

Hair loss treatment for continued hair loss
Self-importance or vanity is not confined only for the female population. Every person wants to look fine and feel attractive. When people have suffered from hair loss, problems not only bodily but psychologically are created. Hair loss leads the people to lose their self-confidence and become depressed. For women having longer hair, hiding hair problems can sometimes signify a simple hair style. But for men, it can be a big problem. So it should be necessary to get relief from hair loss through a hair loss treatment.
Hair loss treatment ensures the correct supply of vitamins and minerals in order to maintain appropriate hair growth. Vitamins and minerals like amino acids, proteins and minerals can help to shield the follicle. In hair loss treatment the diet should include more green leafy vegetables, milk, fruits and sprouts, salads and also some protein like milk, buttermilk, wheat germ, yeast ,soybean wheat germ and vitamin A. To prevent hair loss it has been suggested to take curd or white sesame seeds every morning as a source of magnesium and calcium to reduce hair loss.
