There could be n number of reasons of hair loss in men and women from genetic predisposition, medicines, nutritional deficiencies, diseases, hormonal imbalances, pregnancy, over use of styling aids etc. it is very important to diagnose the cause of hair fall first as "Hair is the barometer of your health". Anything wrong internally can refelect onto your hair. It is important not to waste any time in treating a hair loss because in a hair loss of long standing duration the hair follicles slowly regress and ultimately die and can not produce any hair therefore if one expects good results in terms of saving and regrowing hair right treatment at right time is very important. In advanced cases where the regrowth is not possible medically because of follicle death hair transplant surgeries are advised.
In order to restart the hair cycle and combat hair loss it is necessary to activate the anagen or growth phase of hair.There is a newly researched product in the field of Trichology, that is made out of natural sources. It is rich in peptides ,soluble forms of zinc, iron, trace elements and vitamins that act simultaneously on the three principal factors that control hair cycle:hormonal balance,the vascular system and cell metabolism
The newly researched active ingredient
1.inhibits the activity of 5 a reductaseII an enzyme responsible for conversion of Testesterone to DHT which is responsible for Androgenetic hair loss or Genetic thinning.
2.increases formation of new blood capillaries and thus facilitaes the supply of oxygen and nutrients to anagen hair
3.boosts the metabolic activity of hair cells and favors keratinisation thus stimulates hair growth.

-Total hair density increased by 11.9%
-The density of hair in anagen phase ie growing phase increased by 17.1%
-Anagen/Telogen ratio ie ratio of growing hair vs falling hair increased by 117.7%

In chemotherapy treatment the entire body is affected in one way or another. Unfortunately a side effect of this treatment is hair loss. Chemotherapy is carried out by administering drugs that are designed to kill cancerous cells. These drugs are injected right into the vein or muscle tissue. The drugs flow through the blood stream. Because of this systematic treatment the drugs cannot be taken orally.
Since there are several types of chemotherapy drugs, side effects can vary. These drugs generally affect rapidly dividing cells. Mostly affected are blood cells. It's important to note that these cells primarily job is to fight infection, carry oxygen to other areas of the body and help clot blood. Cancer patients will be more exposed to infections, bleed easily and become more fatigued.
One side effect for some chemotherapy drugs is thinning hair. It's also possible that that you could lose your hair all together, depending on the drugs used. Some people take this kind of hair loss very seriously, which is understandable because it's so noticeable and not easy to hide. It's a good idea to understand the implications of chemotherapy induced hair loss before it happens. This will make the transition easier down the road.
Depression is often a byproduct of chemotherapy and hair loss in cancer patients. It's sometimes difficult to deal with the helplessness and embarrassment of the situation. It's never easy for friends and family either. Cancer, no matter what type, is always serous and often times hereditary. Women usually have a much a more difficult time dealing with this type of hair loss then men do, since a woman's hair is usually a part of her personally and pride.
Through this difficult time it's important to never lose hope. Sometimes the best way to deal with the situation is positive thinking. Positive thinking can sometimes lead us through the darkest times, even when things seem hopeless.
