subject: An Inside Look At The Best Hair Loss Treatments Available Today [print this page] Finding the best hair loss treatments can be quite a difficult task. Mainly because of the growing options that you have to chose from like: hair transplantation, prescription drugs, topical solutions, home remedies and natural dietary supplements. Lets take a few minute an explore these options.
Hair transplantation - This involves taking hair from one part of your head and transplanting it to another part. This does involve surgery but it produces fast results. So, it is considered by many as one of the best hair loss treatments available today. However, it is an expensive procedure and not many can afford it.
Prescription drugs - Prescriptions like Propecia are another way to deal with hair loss. They are to a certain extend effective, however, there are side effects that come with these drugs. Side effects like erectile dysfunction, gynecomastia and a reduced sex drive to name a few. So if you want to take these kinds of drugs just make sure you are willing to tolerate the side effects.
Topical solutions - A large part of 'hair loss products' are in the form of topical solutions/creams. The better one will contain Minoxidil which has been FDA approved to help slow down the hair loss process.
Home remedies - Theres a lot of home remedies out there and not all of them are worth trying. Some of the common remedies include mustard oil, black pepper, lime, henna, aloe vera, and coconut oil. Henna, aloe vera and coconut oil are known to nourish the hair while warm mustard oil applied to the head can stimulate circulation and induce hair growth.
Dietary supplements - When testosterone mixes with a certain enzyme it produces what's called dht (dihydrotestosterone) which is the main cause of hair loss in men and it does play a part in hair loss for women, so being able to slow or stop the production of dht would be beneficial. Herbs such as stinging nettle and saw palmetto has this ability. So it stands to reason that the best hair loss treatments would have these herbs in them. For best results find a supplement that has herbs and essential vitamins and minerals in them.
These are some of the treatment options available today for treating hair loss. Every one of them has their plus and negatives so make sure you look into them thoroughly and chose the best one for your hair loss needs.
