Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

Hair loss is a fact of life for many men - in fact there's a 50
/ 50 chance that if you are a man you will experience excessive
hair loss as you grow older. And it's not only men that are
affected by hair loss, women and even some children can lose
hair in abnormal amounts as well. There can be many causes for
hair loss but the most typical is simply the aging of your body.



While some people are not bothered by losing their hair, many
others do not like the way it looks and would like to improve
their appearance. Luckily, there are many ways to deal with
thinning hair or hair loss. The variety of hair loss products on
the market today make it possible to find the hair loss product
that will work best for you.



One popular hair loss medication is Minoxidil, or Rogaine. This
topical treatment, is applied to your head on a schedule set by
your doctor. This medication slows hair loss and even promotes
growth in some people. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for
everyone, plus it takes 2 to 4 months for results to show. It
cannot treat a receding hairline, but is used for treating
balding on the crown of the head. Minoxidil or Rogaine is
approved for use by men or women.



Another hair loss medication is Propecia. This medicine is very
similar to Rogaine, except that it is a pill which can take 12
months to show results. Propecia does not work for every one.
With both Rogaine and Propecia, the results only last for as
long as you take the medication. Once you stop taking it, our
hair loss continues, so if you decide on either of these
medications be aware you are making a long term commitment.



If you don't want to take medicines for your hair loss there are
other products that are much less expensive but provide a
temporary solution. Hair volumizers are are aerosol products
that thicken and cover bald spots. You may have seen them on TV,
but the new ones today are much better than they used to be, and
are much more durable and longer lasting.



Another product is hair-thickening fiber, which is a natural
substance that binds to your hair to make it look thicker and
bald spots much less noticeable. These have also improved over
the years, and don't stain, are considered safe and must be
washed out.



Still another hair loss product is alopecia masking lotion. This
product works by eliminating the contrast between your hair and
your scalp. It is basically camouflage for your hair.



Last, but not least, there are a number of vitamins such as
Shen Min, which is a Chinese herb made from the eastern wild
rose, which is said to help with baldness, and a whole range of
other vitamins that make similar claims.



No matter which solution you choose, hair loss experts agree
that it is important to act upon hair loss when you first see
it. We are born with a finite amount of hair follicles, and when
they die out from male or female pattern baldness, it is
impossible to get them back. So acting fast can ensure that the
dormant or damaged hair follicles are treated properly.
