Best Hair Loss Treatment

There are some things that improve our lives so much that I find myself thinking about the originators and hoping that they have a special place in heaven reserved for them. Some of those things may even be things we take for granted way too often. For example, showers. Doesn’t it feel so great to hop in the shower when you are feeling grimy? I mean showers are fantastic inventions. Whoever invented the shower is a hero in my book. Disposable diapers are another.

I admit they are getting rather costly, but you know why that is, right? People are willing to pay just about any price not to have to deal with excrement on cloth, that’s why. Disposable diapers are the greatest thing since babies. Mr. Pamper or whoever deserves our applause.

There are lots of other things like that, too; there are things so wonderful that the inventors should be honored in a hall of fame somewhere. The best hair loss treatment is definitely right up there with showers and throw-away diapers; we need it, love it, want it, and would pay just about anything for it, right? If you are one of those millions of folks who have excessive hair loss or male or female pattern baldness, you know what I am talking about.

There is a lot of debate on what exactly constitutes the best hair loss treatment, but there are definitely some universally accepted ideas about it. First of all, good overall health is vital for healthy hair. Unhealthy people generally have unhealthy hair, so adopting a regular exercise routine and eating right are very pretty darn important to keeping, growing, and/or re-growing hair.

Another generally accepted idea is that the topical treatments are pretty effective. Propecia and Rogaine have given lots of people new hope for more hair. Once targeted only for males, these two products are definitely a part of the best hair loss treatment for both men and women now.

Maintaining proper hormone balances is also paramount to having a thick, healthy head of hair. Testosterone and androgen are definitely related to hair loss, as are certain vitamin deficiencies and the like. It definitely makes sense to make sure you are getting all your required daily amounts of vitamins and minerals. The B-vitamins, like biotin, seem to be particularly important.

In addition, the best hair loss treatment plan is definitely one that will find the causes of your hair loss and treat those causes, rather than simply focusing on treating the symptom of hair loss. Usually, excessive hair loss is a clue, or a symptom, that some underlying difficulty exists.

Whether you decide to try homeopathic and herbal hair loss treatments, decide to seek out a physician and get medications, get hair replacement treatments, or some combination of all of the above, the best hair loss treatment will be one that best suits your particular needs.

Hair Loss Biotin May Help

Whether you are male or female, but especially for ladies, hair loss can be traumatic. Traditionally, women have put a lot of stock in the beauty of their hair, which is evidenced by the billions of dollars and millions of hours spent on grooming the hair. Just about every woman in the United States “fixes” her hair before going somewhere important, like to work, out on a date with hubby or boyfriend, or even to lunch with friends (is hair broken—why do we call it fixing?).

If you suffer hair loss, there are probably other losses occurring, as well. You may have a loss of self-image, a loss of hope, or a loss of peace of mind. If you have hair loss, biotin may help relieve, not only the hair loss, but restore your confidence in yourself.

What is biotin? Biotin is a vitamin in the family of B-vitamins; you may be more familiar with B-6 and B-12, which are common vitamins that many people don’t get enough of; in fact, B-12 shots are commonly prescribed for a variety of health concerns. Biotin is another B vitamin, which you may not be as familiar with. Hair loss experts often express the need for overall good health, and certainly getting adequate levels of the B-vitamins is essential to good general health and healthy hair. Some medical professionals even prescribe biotin to be taken as part of the Propecia or Rogaine treatment methods.

Biotin, like most vitamins and minerals, can be found naturally in different kinds of foods, but in our health-and-weight-conscious society, it is also necessary to understand that usually the biotin you get from food is not enough. Because biotin does not occur in high amounts in the food we eat, you would have to consume way too much food to get enough biotin.

So, if you have hair loss, biotin supplements may be wise, rather than trying to eat enough to get all the biotin you need. In the case you decide to eat your way to healthier hair, be sure and start a rigorous exercise workout to burn off the extra calories. Don’t you dare! I was joking about the extra eating; not the exercise though. Having thinning hair is bad enough; you don’t want to get obese in your quest to keep your hair. If you do decide to try biotin for your hair loss concerns, an added bonus would likely be healthier nails, as well. Biotin is also known for helping restore nail health.

If you are worried about losing your hair and are looking for some simpler remedies, biotin can also be found in topical products, which may be beneficial and worth a try. Biotin shampoo and biotin lotion are readily available. You are going to wash your hair and moisturize your skin, anyway, so why not get some healthy biotin while you are doing so?

Whether you are young or old, male or female, vain or down-to-earth, hair loss can be worrisome and troubling. If you do find yourself experiencing hair loss, biotin products may be one answer to your problem.
