Women who are experiencing more than normal hair loss usually take it very seriously - no matter what their age is. They view it as a hideous intrusion into their professional and/or personal lives - an uninvited guest who must be gotten rid or at whatever cost. Young men experiencing bald spots or receding hairlines react in a number of different ways. Some just learn to live with it, while others shave their heads completely, believing that it looks "cool" and is generally more acceptable and younger looking than the alternative. Still others are devastated by their hair loss and decide to do whatever they have to to correct it. Older men basically display similar behavior.
There are many different hair loss prevention products available, but none of them are perfect for everyone. Your body is different than anyone else's, every person is unique, and everybody responds differently to any one treatment. If you decide that you want to pro actively address your own hair loss, the the first thing to do is to rule out the possibility of a medical condition that could be the source of the problem. A visit to your physician is probably a good idea, because hair loss is sometimes a sign of illness or infection; they're not the most common causes, but you really need to rule them out before you go after your hair loss problem with guns blazing!
The second thing you need to do is to take a hard look at your diet, your stress level and your overall lifestyle. Make sure that you consume a diet that includes good protein, lots of fruits and vegetables and healthy oils. Also, try to exercise more - it increases blood flow, and increased circulation will better feed your scalp as well as the rest of your body. Your hair and scalp cells reproduce best when they have the nutrients and energy to do so, and increased circulation will provide those things.
If you have a lot of stress in your life, you have to find ways to get rid of it. Once again, exercise is a great way to alleviate stress, as are yoga and meditation. There is no doubt about it: stress and anxiety are linked to hair loss. Life changing events such as surgery, death, pregnancy, divorce and childbirth trigger your body to ultimately forsake hair production for seemingly more pressing requirements.
If you have hair loss that is the result of natural causes, such as hormone changes and heredity, and if this hair loss bothers you, affecting your normal lifestyle, then you need to do something about it. Your options are many, and you have to explore and choose those that are right for you. This is not a "one size fits all" procedure.
1. Make it your goal to explore as many options and products as you can. Many hair loss prevention products are available on the Internet, and you can shop them in the privacy of your home. Try them out - if you find one that works for you, stick with it. If you find one that doesn't them just move on to the next one - but don't give up!
2. Try natural remedies. Many of these are available at nutritional stores or on-line. They work for some people and are often very reasonably priced.
3. If, after much searching, you can't find a hair loss prevention product that works well for you then you may explore other methods, such as hair pieces, hair extensions or wigs.
4. If all else fails, or if you can't stand the idea of a wig, there is another solution: a hair transplant. The average cost of this procedure is in excess of $10,000. It is expensive, but this is a last resort.
You are the only one who can decide if your hair loss is significant enough - and enough of an irritant - to be a problem you won't tolerate. There are a lot of products to try and more are discovered every year. Do not lose hope. Do not stop looking. You definitely can find a hair loss prevention treatment that will work for you.
