A shaven head looks great on many. It is the "in thing" these days. But many of us would keep it as a last move. So, given that you have rejected the clean-head look, the only open course is to try some hair loss remedies offered by many reputable companies in both the prescription and non-prescription categories. Some of these work and many don't, while there are some that work marginally. Their effectiveness depends upon individual cases. However, experimenting too much is also not advisable. So, the "magic pill", so to speak, is yet to come.
Rogaine (Monoxadil), Proxiphen and Avacor are some of the leading products in this area. Their success rate varies from person to person. On some heads it might be able to grow hair like they had never gone, and on others they might have no effect at all, and then there may be some on which the effect is marginal.
Hair loss is so common that the number of companies offering hair loss products is simply amazing. So, we have a virtually inexhaustible collection to choose from. There are cheap varieties and the expensive ones. But none of them come with a guarantee of any kind. Their high-sounding claims are mostly accompanied by the disclaimers saying that the effect varies from person to person which actually means that you could be among those on whom the remedy has little or no effect.
Several vitamins have been specifically formulated to check thinning hair and induce their speedy growth. These vitamins usually are combinations of various amino acids, vitamin B6, vitamin E, biotin and Zinc. The advantage is that they promote thicker, healthy and lustrous. But they do not help hair re-growth much. So, if you are seeking something to re-grow your fallen hair, you should go for a supplement that focuses on hair re-growth. You may also try hair transplant if the supplements do not work with you.
Hair Loss Products Work
A new product is released, and people seem to go crazy. The medical industry is not exempted from that rule. Those who experience hair loss are always searching for new things to improve their situation. Some work, and some are total flops. Its important that you, as a consumer, know what to look for and how to find the ones that work. Some people can spend hundreds or thousands on products that do anything for them.
Pantene Pro-V for men is a popular choice, because its cheaper and Pantene is a well known brand. However several people, men and women alike, reported even more hair loss after using a Pantene product that claimed to aide in hair growth production. It is frustrating to use a hair loss product, but it only makes they hair loss worse. Pantene products are something to be avoided, even if you do not have hair loss problems.
Old products are usually the most trusted. In the 1980s Rogaine was released, and everyone saw the cheesy commercials. Today, in 2008, Rogaine is still popular. While it produces almost instant results, the hairs come back thin and frail, like baby hairs. Most people do not want thin and frail baby hairs, they want thick strong hair like they once had. Rogaine works, and it works fast. But the results are sometimes not what you hoped for.
If you want to grow back strong and thick hair, then Provillus is a good option. The hair generally grows back in a few months, so it does take time. Users of Provillus report extreme satisfaction with the product. If you want hair that blends in, but are willing to wait, then Provillus is a good choice.
Propecia is a doctor prescribed drug that inhibits hair loss, and encourages hair growth. Several men find themselves taking Propecia to re-grow hair that has been lost. In addition to its hair growing properties, Propecia is also used to treat prostate cancer. Propecia is said to be one of the best medications for hair loss, because it maintains the growth for longer periods of time, and it comes back stronger than ever.
Hair loss product reviews are a great way to discover new treatments and over the counter treatments that may work for your type of hair loss. These products are often for men, such as Propecia. If you are a woman experiencing hair loss, you should always consult a doctor before taking certain things designed for men.
