How to promote rapid hair growth

August 16th, 2010

It is very impor­tant to know and under­stand your hair grow­ing cycle in order try­ing to stim­u­late rapid hair growth. A hair grow­ing cycle has three stages cycle. These stage or phases are known as tel­o­gen, cata­gen, and anagen.

The first stage is called as the Ana­gen. In this stage your hair grows and healthy at its aver­age rate, and your hair is look like beau­ti­ful and shinny every day. The sec­ond stage called as Cata­gen, it is stage when your hair stops to growth. The last stage called as Tel­o­gen stage, it is time to rebirth of your new hair because it is stage when your hair sheds or falls out.

A lot of time there are sev­eral peo­ple who don’t grow their hair back as fast as they would like or don’t grow their hair back at all are the prob­lem with mis­in­ter­pre­ta­tion of the hair cycle. When a per­son ages, this type of sit­u­a­tion increase spe­cially, but a lot of ways to pro­mote and get the excep­tional healthy hair by assist your hair cycling process.

To pro­mote rapid hair growth, you can take some tips bellow:

a. Take the right vit­a­mins. Vit­a­mins of A, C, E, B com­plex, and biotin in guar­an­ty­ing the growth of your healthy hair are nec­es­sary needed. These vit­a­mins can take of you by get­ting a daily intake of eggs, beans, green veg­eta­bles, fresh or cit­rus fruits, meat and still many more.

b. The imper­a­tive ways in the pro­mo­tion of healthy your hair are remov­ing foods highly sat­u­rated in fat and all fried or junk foods. You must stay away of it, some exam­ple of these foods are friend fries, soda, candy, some of burg­ers and others.

c.  Stop­ping the con­sump­tion of over­ween­ing alco­hols is also good idea as alco­hol can cause dehy­dra­tion and as con­sid­ered drying.

d. Exceed­ingly cru­cial as hair itself is dead pro­tein that comes out of the scalp, so mak­ing a point that you’re acquir­ing your sug­gested quan­tity of pro­tein. It will cause frag­ile, weak, and thin­ning hair if your diet is low in pro­tein. A cou­ple of sources to acquire your pro­tein are beans, leans meats, low fat dairy, and fish.

e. The mas­sag­ing of your head scalp is a good way to stim­u­late your hair growth. To pre­vent dry scalp or a flaky, do this treat­ment with good oil. Not only pro­mote rapid hair growth, by doing these things you also get a healthy body.

What’s the best hair loss & alopecia treatment?

August 5th, 2010

There is no sim­ple answer to this. No one treat­ment is spec­tac­u­lar for the aver­age indi­vid­ual. How­ever, there are a few treat­ments that yield decent results for a major­ity of peo­ple. (Decent is defined here as ces­sa­tion of fur­ther hair thin­ning and per­haps some regrowth, rang­ing from a lit­tle to mod­er­ate.) Some peo­ple do respond unusu­ally well–but then some don’t respond at all. Most fall some­where in between.

Since there are mul­ti­ple fac­tors in pat­tern loss for both men and women, it is wis­est to approach the prob­lem from sev­eral angles to max­i­mize results, as some treat­ments are com­ple­men­tary and address dif­fer­ent under­ly­ing causes. A com­mon fun­da­men­tal approach is to use an “antian­dro­gen” of some kind, such as Prope­cia (men only) or Revivo­gen (men and women), and a growth stim­u­lant such as Rogaine Foam or Tri­comin. Other options include ther­a­peu­tic sham­poos, such as Nizo­ral, which is a manda­tory part of every treat­ment reg­i­men. Still other approaches that may help include dietary and nutri­tional con­sid­er­a­tions and even lifestyle mod­i­fi­ca­tions. There are many adher­ents to such a “kitchen sink” approach.

You can also start with a sin­gle treat­ment, though due to the long lag time before you can actu­ally ver­ify effi­cacy, this can be very hit and miss and may bring less than opti­mal results by only address­ing one aspect of a larger problem.

Treat­ments for indi­vid­u­als with Alope­cia Areata (patchy hair loss), Alope­cia Uni­ver­salis and Alope­cia Totalis are lim­ited. Top­i­cal steroid injec­tions are used for less severe Alope­cia Areata, exper­i­ment­ing var­i­ous treat­ment options with a hair loss spe­cial­ist will eventually

Hair loss treatment overview

July 30th, 2010

The fact is, if you are start­ing to lose your hair then the ear­lier you start to deal with the prob­lem the longer you will be able to keep your hair. Like most other med­ical con­di­tions, if you treat the under­ly­ing prob­lem early it is much eas­ier, and much cheaper, than if you wait till it gets out of hand. As soon as you start to see extra hairs lay­ing on your pil­low in the morn­ing, or a clump in the shower drain, you need to have a plan to buy a hair loss treat­ment and start using it.

Of course, the big ques­tion then is which prod­uct or prod­ucts should you buy. Before you can answer that ques­tion you need to under­stand what is the under­ly­ing cause of your hair loss in the first place. Over 9 out of 10 men who expe­ri­ence early hair loss do so because of a hered­i­tary med­ical con­di­tion called Andro­genic Alope­cia. The com­mon name for this is Male Pat­tern Bald­ness. This name comes from the fact that men will tend to lose their hair in one of two pat­tern areas. Either they see thin­ning on the crown of the head which is the top, or they will have a reced­ing hair line above the fore­head. If left untreated these two areas will migrate toward each other and even­tu­ally combine.

The cause of this thin­ning is what you actu­ally need your hair loss rem­edy to treat. Within your body there are many hor­mones and hor­monal sub­stances. They actu­ally are the mes­sen­gers which keep your sys­tems oper­at­ing prop­erly. One of these, the male hor­mone testos­terone has many func­tions, but for our pur­poses we are inter­ested in what hap­pens when it is metab­o­lized by the enzyme 5-alpha reduc­tase. When this hap­pens a new sub­stance is formed called Dihy­drotestos­terone. This is actu­ally the metabo­lite which is respon­si­ble for male pat­tern bald­ness. Many hair replace­ment prod­ucts focus on the scalp and the health of the hair shaft, because this is eas­ier to do, and they neglect the real cause which is DHT. Any prod­uct you choose must deal with what causes hair loss at the root.

There are two meth­ods of slow­ing or stop­ping the affect of DHT. The first is to block the pro­duc­tion of it. The FDA has approved an oral med­ica­tion, Finas­teride, which seems to work well but it has many neg­a­tive side effects. These include loss of libido, sex drive, in men and poten­tial birth defects for preg­nant women. Because of this many peo­ple shy away from this drug. Two nat­ural alter­na­tives are Saw Pal­metto extract and Stingy Net­tle Root. Both of these also seem to limit the amount of DHT produced.

The sec­ond way of deal­ing with the prob­lem is to pro­tect the hair fol­li­cles, (hair roots) from attack in the first place. Another FDA approved drug, Minox­i­dil, does a good job of this by bond­ing with the recep­tors on the hair roots that the dihy­drotestos­terone would nor­mally bond to. This drug is actu­ally used by both men and women and it is applied to the scalp top­i­cally twice a day.

Start today to deal with your hair loss and be sure you are actu­ally treat­ing the root cause and not just the sur­face issues involved.
