As the cause of hair loss tend to vary with every individual, so is the Hair Loss treatment used to combat hair loss. Choosing the right treatment to your condition is very essential in ending alopecia as soon as possible.
Now what are the things you should look at in choosing the right hair loss treatment for your condition? First of all, you should evaluate at what kind of hair loss you have. People lose hair in several different ways, the most common of which are: Receding Hair Line (Thinning Hair) centralised loss on the top back (vertex) or thinning hair without a receding hair line. Depending on these factors, you'll know what the extent of treatment you want to have for your hair.
To better know on what kind of hair loss you have, you can go here to Evaluate your hair Loss.
Once you have evaluated the type of hair loss you have and identified the extent of the treatment you have to do. Your choice might be one or a combination of any of the common treatments. Currently, there are five (5) solutions commonly available in the market; DHT inhibitors, Super Oxide Dismutase Treatments, Growth Stimulators, Anti-Androgens and Anti-Inflammatories.
DHT Inhibitors
DHT or dihytestoserone is a converted testosterone, the hormone which helps maintain the secondary sexual differences between men and women. However, when much of the testosterone is converted into DHT, it bonds with Androgens and proceed to slow hair growth down, this usually leads to the development of androgenic alopecia. DHT inhibitors reduce or inhibit the production of DHT therefore preventing the root of androgenic alopecia/
Super Oxide Dismutase Treatments / Immune System Treatments
When excess DHT is produced it usually causes inflammation of the scalp. This is because your body consider hair follicles as foreign objects and start attacking them. The body produce Super Oxide Dismutase to combat the supposed foreign objects, what Super Oxide Dismutase does is that it reduces the levels of Super Oxides reducing the chances of hair follicle loss.
Growth Stimulators
Growth stimulators promote hair growth in the scalp. While not really addressing the root cause of hair loss, they are very successful in cosmetically changing your appearance. This is often enough with most people and has great benefits in the perception and thinking of individuals experiencing hair loss. Growth Stimulators are best used in conjunction with other hair loss treatments and remedies that treat hair loss at its root cause.
Anti-Androgens
When the body produces DHT it bonds with androgens and when this process occurs, hair loss starts to set in. Anti-Androgens help stop DHT from binding with Androgens by obstructing or blocking androgen receptors on cells, significantly reducing the chances of DHT reaching the androgens and starting the hair loss process. Blocking the Androgen receptors is the first step in stopping the binding of DHT and Androgen and therefore stops the hair follicles from being damaged.
Anti-Inflammatory
As a result of DHT binding on Androgens, the immune system starts attacking on the hair follicles and the scalp becomes inflamed, irritated, flaky and itchy. Anti-Inflammatory treatments and remedies help treat and lessen the effects of these symptoms thus raising the chances for the overall success of your hair loss regimen.
All in all these hair loss treatments/remedies are best used in conjunction or along with others to be more effective in combating hair loss. Using one is just fine, and would help treat your hair loss problems with their intended benefits.

By: rita | 31-07-2008
I need to know how to attach a wiglet by braiding and sewing. My mom lost the hair on the top of her head. She wears a wiglet attached with bobbi pins to wringlet curls made out of her remaining hair. It is not very secure. I once saw a documentary on TV showing a cancer patient. They made a braid around her head, then sewed a hairpiece to the braid allowing her to cut, style, and blowdry her hair which snuggly stayed in place for months. Does anyone have instructions, a video. or photo's of this procedure?
