Hair loss in men could be a serious problem. It not only changes the way you look but also lowers one’s confidence level and makes them feel less desirable. This article gives a range of hair loss solutions for men you would want to check, to combat your hair loss problems.
Although hair loss is one of the signs of aging, and people who can carry it off well look good even if bald. But the major area of concern is hair loss at a young age, which definitely is not desirable. There are various causes that lead to early hair loss among men. Sometimes, it is a hereditary thing that leads to hair loss. Other causes would be your hectic schedule, work pressures, worries, hormonal changes, ignoring hair care, and lot of other things. In general, losing around 100 – 200 strands per day is normal, but anything beyond that should draw attention towards that problem. Thankfully, there are infinite ways to replace the gone hair, ranging from natural remedies to hair transplants.
Natural Remedies
Many men swear by natural remedies to treat their hair loss problem, because they are safe, do not cause side effects, and are easily available. Plus, natural remedies are less costlier, and effective as well.
Oiling your Hair Daily
Create a mixture of Castor oil, rosemary oil, olive oil, almond oil and coconut oil, in equal proportions. To this oil mixture, add nettle root (bright yellow in color). Nettle root is known to regenerate hair growth, and the other ingredients speed up the hair growth process. Warm the oil mixture before applying, as it will help open pores and absorb it quickly.
Vitamins
Vitamin A aids the production of sebum in the scalp, that is needed for hair growth, whereas vitamin E regulates blood circulation and simulates the hair follicles productivity. Including vitamin rich foods in your daily diet also works wonders for hair growth.
Head Massage
A head massage by a professional, twice a week, can also simulate hair follicle back to life. The professionals actually know various points on your scalp, those when pressed or put through pressure, can regulate blood circulation in that area and encourage hair growth.
Hair Care
Following a protein-rich diet, exercising regularly, trimming your hair when required, and getting a hair spa once a month or a head massage, all of it amounts to increase in blood circulation, that results in hair growth.
Stress Management
Stress is considered one of the rare causes of hair loss. Practicing yoga or mediation everyday or thrice a week, would restore hormonal balance and boost hair growth.
Using Products
The market is full of hair growth products. Now it depends what suits you the best. Not all will produce the desired results. If that would be the case, all men would have been seen resorting to hair growth products to save themselves of baldness. Always read reviews or trust a person who has tried a product and gives a positive feedback about the same.
Also, check for the ingredients, if you are allergic to any of them avoid using it. Moreover, check if the product causes any side effects, if yes, refrain from using it altogether. Listed below are a few hair growth products, use them only if they suit you the best. These products block the production of DHT (Dihydrotestosterone), which is the root cause for hair loss in men. They not only block DHT but also fight hair thinning and hair loss.
Hair Transplant
Hair transplant has gained a lot of press in the last few years. Men seem to be looking at it as a convenient and easy option to replace their hair loss. There is nothing to feel ashamed about wanting your lost hair back. Celebrities (like Mel Gibson, John Travolta, David Beckham and so on) too get hair transplants done, and are not ashamed, going public about the same. Although it is not bad to give hair transplant a thought, but you may do so only after trying hair growth regimes for a solid 2 years without the desired results.
In a hair transplant surgery, hair is taken from the back of your head, where the hair tends to grow continuously and planted on the front side on scalp, where there is no hair. This process can actually restore your hair and disguise baldness, provided you are getting it done from a renowned doctor or institution, as quality matters here. Hair transplant is costly no doubt, but it is worth all the money if you want to do away with your baldness and look desirable again.
