How to Treat Hair Loss?

Hair loss is a prevalent condition that affects most people, regardless of their age. In most cases, thinning of the hair is linked to getting old, health concerns, nutrient deficiencies, and hereditary factors. These factors can cause hair loss that could be either temporary in nature, reversible, or permanent, and it all depends on the extent of hair loss.

Once you realise your hairline is fading away, you shouldn't panic but instead, make an effort to visit a doctor for a diagnosis. Several hair loss treatment procedures range from medicinal treatment to traditional treatment.

The most common cause of hair loss includes hormonal changes like stress and pregnancy and nutrient deficiencies. If you are a Chipping Campden resident, you can get NHS prescriptions about hair loss treatment and the appropriate medication.

There are several hair loss treatments. Some treatments have been scientifically proven while others unproven claims. You can either use one therapy or a combination of treatments for effective results which can take weeks, months, or years.

That being said, you must consider the following hair loss treatment for effective results:

·         Minoxidil (Rogaine)

This is the most popular product for hair loss treatment and is readily available in most health facilities. The product has been scientifically approved to treat hair loss for both men and women. You can get your prescription medication delivered to your doorstep from a reputable health facility. For safe and effective treatment, you are required to apply and rub the solution in your scalp daily for 6-12 months. The only disadvantage with Minoxidil is that once you start using it in your scalp, you must maintain the procedure permanently, failure to which hair loss might reoccur.

·         Finasteride (Propecia)

This is an exclusive prescription for men given as oral medication. For effective results, you have to continue taking the pill to retain benefits. Finasteride may have some side effects for men, including diminished sex drive.

·         Cosmetic remedies

Some cosmetic remedies that you can use include shaving, use of hair fibre powders, using synthetic wigs, hair extensions, surgery, and use of nonmedical solutions.

·         Home remedies

Some causes of hair loss are due to nutrient deficiencies. You can rectify hair loss by doing some small practices of home remedies such as improving on your diets. You can include certain foods and vitamins in your diet to promote hair growth. You can include foods rich in omega three such as egg yolks, fatty fish, mushrooms, beef liver, and much more.
