How To Halt Hair Loss

By Don Pedro

There are many reasons for hair loss and among them most probably the most ignored one is the food habit of the person. But its not the least important. The food we take has a great impact on our body. The nutritional condition of the body depends on our diet. Therefore, the nutrition, hair too depends on a balanced diet.

Its interesting to discover how a hair gets weaker and weaker and then it shed off finally. It maintains a cycle. A special phase in that cycle is called telogan phase where the hair rests till it sheds. The number of hairs resting in this phase increases when there are some mental factors like stress, depression or tension playing from behind. So we should try to avoid all sorts of mental stress.

We all know that genetic factors are responsible for the lifetime of our hair. Besides some hormonal factors are also present there. One of the main male hormones is dihydrotestosterone.

There are some major causes of hair loss, which we are all aware of, like genetic factors and the aging process. But apart from these, the imbalance in the dihrotestosterone level in male is also responsible for hair loss in mail. DHI or Dihidrotestosterone is a hormone, derived from testosterone, which improves the blood circulation in the hair follicles. So a reduction in the level of DHI causes rapid hair loss.

In case of female hair loss increases during the period of puberty or when they are pregnant. But overall, men suffer more for hair loss than women.

To prevent baldness in man, those who are experiencing increased rate of hair loss everyday, may use Finastride or similar drugs. These are oral treatment to prevent hair loss which has been proven to be of great value for fighting loss of hair. But what I must mention, drugs shouldn't be used without consulting the physician first.

To treat hair loss, hair restoration surgery can be quite handy. But one must consult the dermatologists before deciding for the surgery. He needs to be physically and mentally fit for the operation. A dermatologist will also suggest you where to go to undertake the restoration surgery.

But make sure that you consult and make appointment with the professional dermatologists who are skilled in that surgery. You will never need to worry about hair loss again. - 15359
