There is no magic potion that will give you full, thick hair back right away. But if we look at how treatments for hair loss have changed in the past few years, we might not be too far off.
There are many things that can cause hair loss. The most common is Pattern Baldness, which affects more than 40% of men. Women can also lose their hair, but it can be caused by different things than it is in men. Baldness can be humiliating for a lot of men and women, and it can lead to mental problems and a feeling that you're not worth much. But scientific discoveries in recent years have made treatments for balding more effective. As with any medical condition, if you treat balding early, you have a better chance of reducing its effects or even reversing it.
There are many different things that can cause hair loss. The most common cause is "pattern baldness," which is caused by genes. Other common causes include hormonal imbalance, illness, poor diet, bad hygiene, drug abuse, and stress. These are just the most important things that cause hair loss. To get a better idea of why hair stops growing, scientists have to take a closer look at how hair actually grows.
Hair grows in 3 stages. In the first stage, called "Anagen," a new hair is made, and this is where most growth happens. In the next stage, Catagen (Regressive), the hair has stopped growing but has not yet fallen out. In the last stage, Telogen, the hair rests and falls out, and a new one grows in its place. DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) makes hair follicles smaller by shortening the Anagen (growth) stage and lengthening the Telogen (resting) stage in people with Pattern Baldness. This usually happens slowly over time, and in the end, there are more short, thin hairs that are barely visible above the scalp.
There is hope, because as long as any hair is growing, different treatments can be used to rebalance or block the DHT and make hair grow back in a healthier way. No single treatment for hair loss works for everyone. In fact, it would be pretty amazing if someone found a single treatment for baldness that fixed the problem for good. The best way to treat hair loss is actually to use a combination of the best-known products in a way that works for you.
Most of the time, the best way to stop or reverse hair loss is to use a combination of 3 or 4 products:
- Cleansers for the hair and scalp: These products help keep the hair and scalp clean and healthy.
- Hair vitamins. These products contain all the vitamins and minerals that have been shown to help hair grow fuller and thicker.
- Growth stimulators help hair grow by making the hair follicle grow faster.
- DHT Inhibitors: These work to stop the bad things that DHT does.
In every case, a combination of the above options will be the best way to treat hair loss. This is because there is no one solution that works for everyone and addresses both the cause and effect of baldness.
