Best Hair Loss Cures of All Time

By on August 29, 2012 in Hair-Loss

best hair loss cures Want to know the best hair loss cures of all time?

If so, you first need to have a little lesson in history. We think you’re going to like this stroll back in time, however. In fact, you might think it’s a most excellent adventure. In all seriousness, when it comes to methods to deal with baldness, there are way too many cures and treatments out there that simply do not work. The more you know about the ones that don’t work, the safer your money is going to be. And when your money is safe, you’re going to be able to afford a solution that really works.

Before we share the best hairloss treatment, we want to take a look at some of the methods used throughout history that did not work.

  • Mud Bakes – Baking mud on the head was tried at one point or another during history by men trying to get their head to grow. As you probably know, however, it does not work. Still, it was not even the messiest cure for hair loss.
  • Honey – Honey on the head? Sounds like a sticky situation – and it is – but there were actually some men who thought that putting honey on their head would help them grow hair. As you know, it does not work. (Although Winnie the Pooh was a bit hairy, wasn’t he?)
  • Ashes – If not honey, it must be ashes from the fire! Yes! That will cure baldness! Nope. Another failed attempt by man to stop hairloss from happening. By this time, however, almost everything under the sun was tried.
  • Rosemary – Eventually substances like rosemary were found that helped some men. The problem was that they were not consistent, which means it couldn’t be considered the best hairloss cure of all time.

These are just a few of the many, many methods that were used – unsuccessfully – to try to cure hairloss. The good news is that there is a method that really works. If you try Procein, you’re going to see why so many men have been able to finally do something about losing their hair. Rather than just dreaming and hoping your situation is going to get better, it is time to do something about your problem.

With Procein on your side, you are going to find that you are actually able to successfully do something about your hairloss problems. If you are tired of freaking out about losing more and more hair, you need to stop what you are doing and buy Procein today so that you can try it for yourself and see why it has gotten so many men excited.

Types of Hair loss

By on July 26, 2012 in Types of Hair Loss

Type of hair loss

The medical term for hair loss is alopecia. Although hair loss is caused by many different conditions such as chemotherapy, medications, and stress among others.

The main types of hair loss are summarized in this article. 

Male pattern baldness also known as androgenic alopecia is the most common type of hair loss in men. It affects males beginning in their early 20′s or 30′s and slowly progresses.

Its typical onset is a thinner, shorter, and finer hair that then continues to create a receding hairline or horseshoe hairline (U shaped) pattern that forms around the sides of the head.

This type of hair loss is produced by the male sex hormone testosterone, and by our genes. The main hormone involved is dihidrotestosterone DHT which is a more potent form of testosterone. In susceptible individuals with a genetic predisposition to hair loss DHT acts on the hair follicles causing them to shrink with time.

This type of hair loss is diagnosed based on appearance, and does not require treatment if the patient is comfortable with his appearance. However many patients have a difficult time coping with this disorder and search endlessly for treatment options without success in most cases. Male pattern baldness does not indicate a medical disease, but may affect self esteem and be an important cause of anxiety and psychological stress in some patients.

Hair loss generally progresses with time and does not grow back if left untreated. There are many treatment options available for this type of hair loss, only few have been clinically proven to provide positive results.

Female pattern baldness and is produced by the same mechanism as male pattern baldness. The appearance and clinical presentation are different from male pattern baldness. Hair thins mainly on the top and crown of the scalp, the front hairline is conserved, and there is not a horseshoe hairline.

Alopecia Areata is another type of hair loss that is less common than male and female pattern baldness. It typically produces round patches of baldness that come and go and eventually can lead to total baldness. It can present itself in men, woman, and children. Its onset is usually during teenage years and early adulthood. Over 50 percent of people with alopecia areata have their first round patch before age 20. Its cause is unknown but our immune system (our bodies defense system) is believed to play a role in the development of this disease. It is possible that a major life event (such as accident, severe illness, trauma, personal loss, pregnancy) occurs before the first onset of symptoms but only in a small percentage of patients. The most common clinical presentation is a patchy hairloss that presents on the scalp which may produce an itching or burning sensation. Symptoms may also present on the beard, arms, or legs although this is less common. When diagnosed blood tests are often performed to rule out autoimmune diseases due to the association that exists between these conditions. As for treatment options it is important to know that if the hair loss is not widespread, hair growth will likely occur within months with or without treatment. Even with severe cases with widespread hairloss it is unclear as to if treatment will improve hair growth. Among the treatment options available are local use steroids, topical corticosteriods, topical immunetherapy, minoxidil, ultraviolet light, among other treatment options. As for the outcome (prognosis), most people have full recovery but among those with a poorer outcome are those who have an onset of symptoms at a young age, eczema, long term alopecia areata, and complete body alopecia areata.

There are 2 more severe forms of alopecia areata known as alopecia totalis (no scalp hair)  and alopecia universalis.(no scalp and body hair).

Scarring Alopecia also known as cicatricial alopecia is due to complications from other conditions. This accounts for about 3 percent of hair loss patients. In this condition, the hair follicle is completely destroyed therefore hair growth is not possible. There are many conditions that produce scarring alopecia such as scleroderma, lichen planus, shingles, cellulitis, follicular degeneration syndrome, discoide lupus just to name a few. Treatment options for scarring alopecia are directed towards the underlining condition. Outcome varies depending on the underlining condition.

Telogen Effluvium is a form of non scarring alopecia characterized by diffuse hair shedding which often has a very acute onset. Hair is shed from the scalp and is often associated to the use of certain medications or stress. Patients typically complain that their hair is falling out at an increased rate. Hair is lost from the entire scalp but complete baldness is not seen. Patients fully recover without treatment once the responsible medication is suspended or stress is relieved.

Saw Palmetto Berry as Treatment for Male Androgenic Hair loss

By on July 25, 2012 in Hair Loss Treatments

Saw Palmetto Berry as Treatment for Male Androgenic Hair lossPhytotherapeutic agents are often used as over the counter preparations to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and male androgenic hair loss. Of these agents, Saw Palmetto Berries are the most common. The Saw Palmetto Berry is an extract from the deep purple berries of the Saw Palmetto fan palm known as Serenoa Repens. This plant is present in the southern United States.

Palmetto berries have been used since before the 1900′s by native americans to treat urinary tract disease and to increase libido. This plant is still used today to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia and male androgenic hair loss.

Even today its still unknown exactly how this plant acts, but it has been shown to have several possible mechanisms of action. The anti androgenic activity by the liposterolic extract found in the berries has been found to have an inhibitory effect on the type 1 and type 2 isoenzymes of 5 alpha-reductase, therefore stopping the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone which is a much stronger form of testosterone that is largely responsible for male androgenic hair loss and benign prostatic hyperplasia.  A double blind placebo controlled clinical trial published in Italy in the 1990′s found a clear benefit in patients with enlarged prostates.

Some studies have shown that Saw Palmetto is as effective as Finasteride (Proscar) without producing loss of libido, which has been its main side effect and reason for discontinuation of treatment in patients who use it.

Saw Palmetto has been approved by the FDA as a dietary supplement and been shown to produce very few side effects when taken as indicated. Among the possible side effects are stomach irritation and minor head aches.

Saw Palmetto berries have also been used in preparations with other herbs and vitamins to treat male androgenic hair loss with better results than when used alone. One example is Procerin, a treatment for male androgenic hair loss that consists of tablets that contain Saw Palmetto, zinc, pyroxidine (vitamin B6), magnesium, and several root extracts that has proven to have positive effects in the treatment for hair loss.

In conclusion, many studies have been performed on the positive and negative effects of Saw Palmetto berries which overall have mixed reviews. Some have found a clear benefit, while others have resulted inconclusive. One thing that is clear is that it has been used for hundreds of years and no negative effects have been found. It has been proven to be a safe supplement that when used as indicated has been shown to have positive effects in patients with hair loss and enlarged prostates without the side effects of the conventional treatment.

Hair loss: Prevention

By on July 24, 2012 in Hair Loss Prevention

hair loss prevention

Hair loss that is caused by stress, medications, malnutrition, iron deficiency, protein deficiency, or poor hair care may be prevented. There have been scientific studies published on zinc deficiency and it is strongly associated with hair loss. One study published in Skinmed in 2007 showed a patient with low serum zinc levels and diffuse hair loss (alopecia). After a 6 month zinc supplement hair loss stopped and hair growth began until there was no longer alopecia. Another article published in 2006 showed the hair growth promoting effect of ascorbic acid, commonly known as Vitamin C. Another study published in Endocrinology 2002 showed how Vitamin D3 significantly stimulated hair growth.

Overall a good multivitamin supplement that includes zinc, iron, calcium, vitamins B and D in patients with hair loss seems like a very reasonable choice. The side effects of such a supplement are minimal and its benefits not only can promote hair growth but also allow better functioning in other areas of our body. There are many products out on the market that claim they produce hair growth, but scientific evidence lacks in many of those cases. Scientific evidence has shown that the substances mentioned above do promote hair growth along with saw palmetto, a plant extract commonly used as alternate treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia and male androgenic hair loss due to its anti androgenic properties.

Other very common health issues such as thyroid disorders, anemia, and vitamin deficiency are known to produce hair loss. It is important to treat the underlining disorder in order to stop hair loss and prevent future episodes. Commonly performed lab tests when new onset hair loss presents are complete blood count (CBC), iron levels, Vitamin B levels, thyroid function tests. These lab tests allow us to find preventable causes of hair loss.

People with poor diets, especially those with low protein and iron consumption are at risk of suffering from hair loss. Vegetarians commonly see this problem. Another important factor is hygiene. It is important to use shampoo on a regular basis to avoid infections that can also cause hair loss.

To summarize, there are many types of hair loss that can be prevented if we stop the underlining condition. It is important to find out what is causing it in each particular case and take the necessary actions to prevent further loss and possibly promote growth. A reasonable and clinically proven method for hair growth is associated with Vitamin supplements including iron and zinc. Although in some cases this will not produce miracles, it has been shown to have positive effects. When someone suffers from a family history of hair loss it is much more difficult to prevent and treat it. One thing to keep in mind is to always have good hygiene, keep a healthy lifestyle, take necessary supplements, and try to live stress free.

What is Hair-Loss ?

By on July 18, 2012 in Hair-Loss

SOMETHING YOU CAN PREVENT!

  • Hair is made up of a protein called keratin which is produced in our skin.

  • It grows at about 6 inches per year.

  • It is considered normal to loose between 100 and 150 hairs everyday.

Hair loss, also known as Alopecia, is a very common condition among men.

Androgenic alopecia  a genetic disorder that predominantly affects males as early as  their 20′s and is  typically characterized by a receding hairline, thinning of the hair, and gradual loss of hair in the frontal region.

The cause of hair loss is multifactorial but the most common factor associated is a hereditary disorder known as male pattern baldness and in woman known as  female pattern baldness.

This affects individuals with a genetic predisposition due to the presence of genes from both the mother and father. Another major factor is the hormone testosterone which levels decrease gradually with normal aging. This decrease in testosterone is strongly associated with hair thinning and loss. Approximately half of men by age 30 begin suffering from hair loss, and most men by age 60.

There are many other causes of hair loss such as thyroid disorders, scalp infections, skin disorders, lupus, medications, stress, injury, surgery, weight loss, fever and child birth.

Another medical condition known as Alopecia Areata is an auto immune disease where the bodies own immune system attacks its hair follicles causing a very characteristic patchy hair loss.

The main things to keep in mind are that hair loss is not a life threatening condition that is very common especially as age increases.

The most common cause in men is androgenic or male pattern baldness. There are very few scientifically proven treatments for hair loss and thousands of unproven products. Although these products are harmless, they generally lack in positive results. Among the FDA approved and scientifically proven treatments are Minoxidil (Rogaine), Finasteride (Propecia), Dutasteride (Avodart). A product lacking FDA approval for hair loss does not necessarily mean that the product is not effective. Simply put, they haven’t seen sufficient scientific evidence or it lacks scientific trials to pass its strict guidelines that measure its safety and effectiveness.
