Looking for natural hair loss
treatment? This article is written for
you.
Losing your hair can be a constant source
of frustration and embarrassment.
Unfortunately, many of the options
available to treat thinning hair can be extremely expensive or complicated or
both. Which means, choosing the right hair loss products and solutions can be
daunting. Hopefully, this article will give you info that will help you make a
more informed decision about the hair loss treatment options that are available
to you. Let's take a look at the full spectrum of available options, from
surgery to natural hair loss treatments.
The big question: Do I want to invest a
little or a LOT to recover my hair and restore
my appearance? There are many possibilities available to you ranging in cost
from thousands of dollars to essentially free. These options also range widely
in effectiveness.
Hair
Transplant – The Rolls-Royce Option
On the upper end of the range is hair
transplant surgery. This is definitely the Rolls-Royce of the industry and for
most men - a solution that will provide a reasonably satisfactory outcome.
Problem is - for lots of guys the cost is
quite prohibitive since this procedure can range in price from $5,000 to over
$15,000 -- depending on the number of grafts you need and the number of grafts
your harvest area can yield. Other potential drawbacks are the pain of surgery,
recovery time, scarring on your scalp, and the possibility that in the end your
restored hairline may show tale-tell signs of being newly installed hair plugs.
Laser
Hair Loss Treatment – The BMW Option
Laser
light hair therapy is an option for you if you don’t
want to or unable to take medications. The cost is far cheaper than hair
transplant and the process is much easier. “Lasers can undoubtedly encourage
hair growth”, says Dr. Marc Avram, a clinical associate professor of
dermatology at Weill Cornell Medical
College in New York City . Men and Women usually see
positive results in three to six months, depending on individual hair loss
situation. You can simply DIY at
home. The price will be from $220 to
$550 for hand held laser device such as Spencer Forrest X5 Laser or Supergrow
50 which allows you to sit down and let the laser work for you.
The
Mid Range OTC Medications / DHT Blocker
The mid-range solutions include hair loss
products such as Rogaine and Propecia. The product Propecia - is a hair loss
drug made by Merck Pharmaceuticals. The generic name for this drug is
Finasteride. Studies indicate that over 60% of men experience "some"
regrowth of hair after 12-18 MONTHS of taking this product. The drug works by
blocking the development of DHT (the male hormone) and preventing it from
attaching to the hair follicle. This disrupts or slows male pattern hair loss.
The major drawbacks are - this drug only treats baldness in the top back and
mid-scalp. There is no evidence that it works on the front hairline or on hair
loss in the temporal region. The cost for a 90-pill package is between $125 and
$175. And You will have to take this drug daily for the rest of your life or
you will lose any hair regrowth you have achieved.
Rogaine is a hair loss product made by
Pharmacia & Upjohn. The generic name for this drug is Minoxidil. It is most effective for men under 40 with
hair loss that is fairly recent. The major drawbacks are - the Rogaine 2%
solution has been shown to grow very little or NO hair for most men. Also, it
has no effect on frontal hair loss or receding hairlines, and most new hair
growth is lost only a few months after you stop using this product. The 5% Rogaine
is thought to be a little more effective but is recommended to be combined with
Propecia. 5% Rogaine costs between $25 and $30 and must be used twice daily for
the rest of your life.
Lower
End Home Treatments
Other hair loss products at the lower end
of the cost range are hair loss shampoos such as Tricomin and Provillus, and
many others too numerous to name. For the most part, these products are
essentially hair loss shampoos, conditioners and leave-in products. They
usually do an "ok" job of reducing DHT and helping to nourish hair
follicles, but these shampoos are pricey. The shampoo, conditioner and leave-in
product combo package for most of these kinds of products can run somewhere
between $60 and $150. And you'll have to be patient. It's likely to be several
months before you notice any real change in your hair growth. And again, once
you stop using them you can say goodbye to any new hair growth you've achieved.
The
Natural Hair Loss Treatment – Close to $0
And then there are natural hair regrowth
treatment options. Most cost next to
nothing to learn, implement and maintain. This approach to reversing hair loss
can be quite effective and produce faster results than some of the other
options mentioned in this article.
That's because most natural hair regrowth
treatments give you several simple, fast techniques to reduce DHT, a number of
easy and natural ways to stimulate and nourish hair follicles, and a plethora
of inexpensive, everyday household items and herbs to help you reduce virtually
all of the underlying causes of hair loss... not just DHT. While some of the
more expensive treatment options take 12-18 MONTHS to produce results, the
"right" natural hair loss treatment regime can stop hair loss in just
7 days. And in 2-3 months, can produce measurable, undeniable hair regrowth in
all of your thinning areas... including the front hairline.
The challenge with using natural hair
regrowth treatments is there is no real road-map that describes exactly how to
set-up a complete and comprehensive hair regrowth regime. There's nothing
indicating which techniques to use, which to do first or last, the precise
herbs and other products you'll need, where to find them, how to use them, etc.
That being said, regrowing your hair definitely
isn't rocket science. Anyone who is determined can certainly, through lots of
time consuming trial and error-- and countless Google searches-- eventually
discover how to use natural methods to begin regrowing their hair.
