Treatments For Hair Loss: Rejuvenate Your Ailing Youth

By John Farikani

Treatments for hair loss are important. Hair loss is a situation that has demanded the immediate attention of specialists as they try to address the problem of insecurities deriving from it. In men the most stressful condition is baldness where hair ceases to grow in places where it once grew, particularly areas of the head. But in women hair loss takes more unfamiliar forms ranging from patches with little hair, to hair loss on normal hair edges. In hair follicles where hair is made amino acids (building blocks for protein) are converted into keratin, the protein substance that is used to make hair. Now hair loss is caused by a variety of things. It can be hereditary whereby hair loss is in the genes and is passed down to future generations, and it can be caused by stress tension on the scalp; not washing the scalp or an inadequate diet.

To start with get used to washing your scalp regularly. The skin pores in the scalp tend to be closed shut by accumulated dirt. Now this dirt weakens the roots of your hair so much that the loss of hair is a far from obvious result.

After having done this take it in your stride to apply various types of hair food to your hair and scalp. Hair foods enrich the hair; makes it strong and also makes it grow. Marijuana oil is widely used by Rastafarians to make their hair grow nice and long, there. 's a lot to learn from them. Other hair foods with the same effect are Mustard oil; Amla oil (coconut oil and amla) and pepper seed paste. Add these to your hair when washing the scalp to achieve the best results.

Your diet also needs to be one that promotes the growth of hair. Like I said, hair is largely made up of the protein keratin. Therefore, eating foods rich in protein aids in the growth of hair. Astonishing hey? Incorporate fish; beans; milk and meat to boost the amino acids in your system.

Integrate the above with a good diet consisting of Vitamin A (liver; milk and cheese), and Vitamin B/Folic acid (soya beans; yeast and whole wheat). These vitamins are necessary when it comes to aiding the process of hair rejuvenation.

Part of the treatment for hair loss is the combing of your hair. Ensure that when you comb your hair it is wet and moist. Combing your hair when it's dry will obviously tear your hair away and damage the skin pores through which hair emerges.

Once you've implemented the above I strongly advise you to take note of drugs like Minoxidil; Tricomin and finasteridine. These pharmaceutical drugs are known for having undesirable side effects. One possible side effect is further hair loss, but evidence in this regard is yet to be brought to the fore. Furthermore these drugs can be ineffective and end up being a waste of your money.
