So your hair isnt looking as good as used to and you are looking for ways to grow thin hair more aggressively. I totally understand, after all it wasnt that long ago that I was in your shoes. The first question you must ask yourself is why are you losing your hair, with the second being to what extent am I willing to go financially in an attempt to grow thin hair more effectively. After all some treatment methods require a long term commitment to sustain past gains. As to why you may be losing your hair there is a countless array of potential causes including: heredity, hormones, psychological stress, physical stress, rapid weight loss, diabetes, surgery, pregnancy, menopause, thyroid disorders, or maybe it could be nothing more than over shampooing or brushing. If you can find a way to narrow down the potential causes you will have taken a giant step in the right direction. Nevertheless, I understand that for many the cause might not be obvious but in spite of that you would still like to find a way to grow thin hair. The only current prescription medication for growing thin hair is finasteride (Propecia). Finasteride is only approved for use by men. On the other hand there are a number of over the counter and at home remedies for thinning hair available. The over the counter drugs most often mentioned to grow thin hair is minoxidil. No one is really sure exactly how it works, only that it does. This drugs advantage lies in its ability to protect existing hair from the ravages of male and female pattern baldness. By some accounts it is over ninety percent effective. As far as home remedies for growing thin hair there are no shortage of options. These can range from the bizarre, ranging from drinking a half a litre of spinach and lettuce juice daily to the more accepted treatment method of implementing herbs such as saw palmetto and nettle root. Certainly you will have many good options worth trying but keep in mind that for any attempt to stimulate and grow thin hair more there have to be a number of fundamental changes that take place. First, the likely reason your hair is struggling is a combination of poor scalp circulation, follicle shrinkage, or poor nutrition (most likely B vitamins). I have my own person method of attacking these three problems and let me share it with you. Mix a small amount of aloe vera gel, wheat germ oil, coconut milk, and almond oil. Massage into the scalp for a minute or two and allow it to condition your scalp for 15 minutes, then rinse. After you have rinsed your hair take a vitamin B complex supplement. The formula can be tweaked a little substituting or adding jojoba oil, lavender, or peppermint. I have found this to be a good way to grow thin hair and it is an affordable easy option to consider before spending your hard earned money on pre-packed treatments. Pre-packaged solution for growing thin hair. There are currently a handful of hair re-growth products (specially formulated for both men and women) which have been proven effective both in blocking harmful hormones and bringing the all important dead hair follicles back to life in an attempt to grow thin hair. These specially formulated treatments can be used both as a preventative tool, starting before thinning becomes severe, or after loss of hair has become noticeable. Whatever the level of balding or thinning you are experiencing these products could be just what is needed to overcome this latest life challenge. About the Author:
