Hair
loss has become a common condition now and it affects people at some point or
time of their lives. However, hair loss due to hair shaft breakage is different
in comparison to the hair loss that occurs with the decrease in hair
growth. Especially, the hair loss in
midlife is found common in men and women and this has psychological and
emotional effects. The point here is
that can baldness be cured as advertised by these magical remedies.
Women
hair loss is to forty percent and this may be devastating at times. Men are
also not spared and they also suffer in midlife the hair loss problem, but yet
are not looking bad, but in case of women, it seems to come to an end. This has
made women susceptible to look for various cures to solve the hair loss
problems. Thus, they are spending money in lots, besides time and there is a
big lot of investment done on ineffective treatments.
Recently
I read a book called The Hair Loss Cure. Here is the few points I got from the
book. It is said that even men losing hair feel highly depressed and suicidal,
says The Hair Loss Cure author, David Kingsley. And the same with women losing
hair is traumatic affecting their presence in their social life or with their
partner or spouse.
Today
the treatment of hair loss industry is immense and is no way smaller than the over-the-counter
flu and cold market. In fact, it is estimated as $3.5 billion industry today
with respect to hair loss treatment and the fact cannot be denied that it is 99
percent failure, say experts such as Kobren. Actually, what is that causing
hair loss in midlife and what can be of help and is nothing but a trick to grab
attention.
The reasons for
hair loss
The
basic reason to make the treatment effective is on knowing the cause or reason
for hair loss. Why it is falling out from its place. Now, there are several
reasons to lose hair for both, men and women and these include:
- Stress
- Hormones
- Heredity
- Missing Nutrients/poor diet
- Hairstyling services using chemicals
- medications
- Surgery or high temperature
This
is also due to a combination of factors. In some it may be due to stress and
medications or a recent surgery. Baldness in males is due to intersection of
heredity and hormones. This happens to
men having genetic reasons to (DHT) hormone dihydrotestostrone.
Differing
to these views, Kingsley the author states that the genetic hair loss is
believed to have no ties to your parents. Kingsley says, ‘A recent research
shows how girls take to follow their mother’s father and the boys their
father’s father’. Yet, it is an assortment of both.
Conversely,
a licensed trichologist, Sophia Emmanuel, who is a professional well trained in
head and scalp treatment and care in the New York city says, ‘The first step is
to find a dermatologist or a trichologist so that they diagnose the main reason
for hair loss’.
The diagnosis of a dermatologist or a trichologist
may include testing nutrient deficiencies in blood, scalp examination that
includes a skin biopsy, shapes and patterns of hair loss and gathering
lifestyle, medical and family information.
Knowing
the main reason for hair loss is important so that you are free to choose the
right treatments that help in regrowing new hair or in maintaining the hair you
have now.
Treatments of Hair
Loss
Emmanuel
and Kingsley, both experts note that there is a myth regarding the hair fall
and it is that it is not permanent.
In
case stress or nutrient deficiency is the cause, the hair loss is temporary.
The hair growth may be promoted by solving the underlying problems. This can be
done by promoting iron levels, building zinc in the body and managing stress.
Definitely, these will consume few months to show progress, but it will show
progress and hair growth.
On
the other hand, Emmanuel says, ‘genetic hair loss is permanent and gets
triggered by scalp scarring’. Scarring is due to tying tight pony tails or on
using chemicals for hair styling. This is a problem that may be reason for hair
loss in African American women believes Emmanuel. She also believes that scarring may be
triggered due to autoimmune disorders.
Korben
also has a word regarding hair re-growth and it is that women with autoimmune
or genetic related hair loss have the least options. Minoxidil (Rogaine is the
brand name) is FDA approved and this is only to maintain the existing hair and
can be only used in a 2 percent concentration, yet it does not support re-growth
of hair.
Korben
asks to buy minoxidil over-the-counter and to save money. Minoxidil is added to
expensive shampoos by lots of companies and Korben says, why pay more dollars
when minoxidil is directly available at regular pharmacies for much less price.
Men
have more options even with hair loss that is genetically driven say Korben and
says Finasteride a drug is great in hair re-growth in men. It is produced by
Merck, the pharmaceutical giant and is marketed as Propecia. Finasteride blocks
the dihydrotestosterone creation that fuels the baldness in male and trials
have proved that it can thicken men’s hair.
Generally,
men hesitate in taking Finasteride fearing side effects and now recent studies
state that there is the likelihood of the side effects continuing even after
the medicine discontinuation.
Details on Surgery
Men
consider surgery as the right option to combat male baldness. It is about
moving the resistant DHT hair to the scalp areas that had previously DHT
sensitive hair. Thus says Kobren that
the success in this procedure is predicated in men and not in women as the DHT
sensitivity is a rare problem and they never gain benefit for a long term from
this surgery procedure. Women become target when they are highly vulnerable and
some despite aggressive marketing person makes them a target. It is also
observed that Surgery is the first place women go says Kobren and he strongly
advises against it.
In
fact, men also need to be cautioned as the surgery success is based on the
training and quality of the practitioner performing it. Here, the entire
cosmetic surgery field is dangerous and is now gaining high prominence due to
the hair loss numbers increasing in men and women. Kobren also says he knows a gynecologist
promoting himself as a specialist in hair transplant. In the wrong hands, it
will traumatize further and disfigure a sufferer of hair loss.
Korben
launched a group (IAHRS.org) the International Alliance of Hair Restoration
Surgeons so that they assist in identifying licensed and expert practitioners.
He also informed that the organization received more than 900 applications and
has accepted only 65 people for this quality work.
He
advises people to find out people in their area interested in transplants. He
also cautions that it is only the beginning and no person listed here can be
confirmed as the right practitioner for a client.
The
ideal thing a person can do is do some homework before going for a surgery such
that he can talk to specialists, read online reviews and meet people on whom
they have worked on. It is important to ensure success in surgery.
Equally
it is important to know the surgery price.
Kobren
says, ‘The average surgery cost is 2000 grafts” and grafts is somewhere between
$ 5 and $11 each graft. This means it refers to $20,000 as a minimum
investment.
Other “Cures” and
Myths
Laser
therapy and Platlet rich plasma therapy are two emerging promising therapies,
believes Kobren, and yet is not ready to support any. He says, ‘I have no
evidence of how it works such as clinical data’, though the anecdotal evidence
appears promising.
Kobren
says, ‘The miracle cures shown in the ads such as thickening shampoos are not
true’. In fact, even effective therapies may be ineffective if the root cause
and treatment fail to align.
Three myths
highlighted by Kinsley
Myth1: Everyday washing
your hair causes hair loss is wrong, says Kinsley. Do not be scared ‘It does
not make your hair fall out’.
Myth2: Shaving head
makes hair grow faster, but actually it does not, says Kinsley.
Myth3: There are quick solutions to resolve medical
issues, says Kinsley. This is apparent when a person takes medicine and becomes
normal under control. But with hair loss, there is nothing as you can fix the
problem or put on the scalp.
Very few men get great results from Rogaine. Finasteride is more effective, but even then, there are a decent number of outliers. It almost feels like playing the lottery sometimes... one of my friends is dealing with it himself, and had to resort to a hair transplant. He still shaves his head, and this is the article he said he got advice on getting clippers from.

ReplyDeleteThis was quite the research on hair loss and the treatments you could look into. Hair loss really is a serious problem and lacking acceptance to this condition would lock you away from opportunities that could help you. It pays to have a nearby hair loss treatment center to have your condition checked and treated well to have the results you deserve.
