Stop Hair Loss

To stop hair loss, you first need to understand why it happens, and then create your hair loss stop strategy. More than 50% of men and women will experience some kind of baldness by the time they reach middle age, and many just ignore the first signs. The best approach is to tackle baldness right from the get-go, by developing a strategy and using products that have been shown to work effectively.

There are many causes of hair loss, such as illnesses, poor diet, poor hygiene, drug abuse and stress. Androgenetic Alopecia (pattern hair loss) is the major cause of hair loss. It affects over 40% of the male population, and a growing number of women. The major cause of this condition in men is the over-production of DHT (Dihydrotestosterone), and in women it can be caused by hormonal changes related to the birth control pill, menopause, changes in hormones following child birth and also DHT.

Combating hair loss will depend on what stage of the condition you are experiencing, and of course whether you are male or female. For men who are in the early stages (i.e. only just noticed that their hair is starting to get thin) a DHT inhibiting product such as Propecia will be the obvious first choice. This product will lessen the production of DHT and hence reverse the process of hair becoming shorter and thinner. For those who are experiencing a more advanced phase of the condition, a combination of a DHT inhibitor (Propecia) and a Growth Stimulator like Rogaine would be a smart choice.

For women, there are all-round products that promote growth, block DHT and improve/re-balance the scalp. An example would be HairScripts. This product uses clinical proven vitamins and minerals required to help hair grow to its fullest, and has a built-in DHT blocker too.

So in order to stop hair loss you need to be aware of what is causing the problem, and you need to develop a hair loss stop strategy to counteract it's affects. In most cases it will be a simple case of using tested/proven products to reverse the process. Well known products such as Propecia have been clinically proven in studies to be more than 80% effective in maintaining hair (stopping hair loss) and over 60% effective at regrowing hair, after 2 years of use.
