Perhaps you have investigated the
options available to you in treating challenged and thinning hair. Maybe
you are not yet comfortable taking medications and supplements or even
going under the knife to restore your hair line. Maybe the whole idea of
hair loss and your options is really frightening. In fact, maybe you
are not at that point, but you are noticing a thinning trend and are
trying to stop the process before it becomes an unavoidable truth.
Luckily, thanks to scientists and others that were not quite ready to
fight thinning hair from the inside out, there are topical hair loss
treatment methods that prevent further follicle fallout and stimulate
new hair growth with simple solutions, shampoos, and conditioners.
Topical methods are those that you place directly on your scalp. Instead
of a pill or surgery, you’ll just apply it to your follicles as often
as the product recommends. They come in the form of creams, shampoos,
and conditioners. The most commonly known topical hair loss treatment is
Rogaine, a non-prescription solution that is available for use by men
and women. It also known by its generic name minoxidil and can be
purchased as such. These two items are the same, except one is not as
expensive due to lack of advertising costs. This solution is applied
twice daily to the balding areas and shows result mainly on the back of
the head. The popularity of this drug is due to its easy accessibility,
its ability to be used cross gender, and its known FDA approval as a
suitable hair loss treatment drug. It can be purchased in any drug
store, most often near the dandruff shampoos or in the men’s toiletries
section.
Many products are combined with minoxidil to cleanse the scalp of dead
skin cell buildup and stimulate the growth of thick, new hair in their
place. Combination products can enhance the efforts of the topical hair
loss treatment you choose. These products are found online and are
typically a combination of proven hair restoration ingredients both
synthetic and natural, like minoxidil and saw palmetto.
Testosterone has been put on trial in regards to its role in weakening
hair follicles. A special enzyme is converting once useful testosterone
into an enhanced form known as dihydrotestosterone. It is this super
hormone byproduct, known as DHT that has been scientifically pointed out
as being the leading cause of 95% of male baldness. Conversion of this
hormone from good to bad can be stopped by using specialized and
enriched DHT blocking shampoos. Binding to follicle roots is how DHT
slows and stops hair growth. With daily use of specialized topical hair
loss treatment shampoos like Revivogen, Crinagen, and Progesterone that
fortify with proven ingredients like saw palmetto, you can enjoy your
hair as it thickens and stays in place on top of your head.
Scalp stimulation is a free topical hair loss treatment. Simply take a
little extra time during product application, shampooing, and
conditioning times to stimulate blood flow to the scalp and bring vital
nutrients to your follicles. Massage your temples and scalp in a
circular motion. This stimulation brings more blood to the area and
greater health to your hair.
