Though billions of people - men and women - lose their hair, have gone bald or are balding all over the world, these figures do not negate the negative psychological impact they have on the people concerned. Loss of one's hair, or tresses, or curls, disturbs all such males and females, as hair-loss has some undesirable connotations attached to it.
Generally speaking, neither men like to go bald, nor women. Bald men, from the time of the famed Samson, are considered to be weak, dull, lacking virility, and the worst - ugly, or unkind. Somehow women are not considered to be role models of any sort of work - a typical male chauvinistic response, but even then it is hard enough, as beautiful hair in women is directly linked to beauty.
Our hair growth is determined even before we are born, so is hair loss. When men find they are losing hair, they turn to Finasteride [Propecia], and women start therapy with Rogaine. Currently, there are various remedies available - medicinal, and surgical, but there are some preventive methods too.
There are many ways by which we can try to protect our hair, but 3 simple ways are - a healthy diet, maintaining the correct hormonal balance, and choosing the right hair loss preventive shampoos.
Just like the rest of the body, our hair also needs a good diet to stay healthy and keep growing. Proteins, minerals and vitamins are what one needs in a healthy diet. Proteins are important for good quality hair. White meat is the best form of protein - fish, eggs, cheese, milk contain the highest amount of protein, followed by chicken, lentils and kidney beans. Omega-3 fatty acids are also considered to contribute to a healthy crop of hair, and these are found abundantly in fish [salmon, and tuna], and dry fruits [cashew nuts, almonds, and walnuts]. Lentils and kidney beans also contain zinc that helps to maintain healthy hair due to its anti-oxidant properties. A balanced intake of vitamins, especially Vitamin A and Vitamin C - abundantly available in green, leafy vegetables like spinach and broccoli - are beneficial to hair, as they help the hair follicles to produce sebum, a natural oil needed by hair.
Herbal products are normally very expensive, but there are some that do not cost the earth. Certain seaweeds contain curative properties, and are used for various purposes, from fertilizers to medicines! Some of them are used to formulate skin and hair care products as they are a rich source of vitamins, minerals and amino acids. Experts recommend Atlantic Kelp and Himanthalia Elongata that have proven anti-oxidant properties, as they contain enough vitamins and amino acids to add lustre to the hair. These seaweeds help the hair to grow, while reducing and repairing the damage that may be done to the scalp during hair-loss. Another such herbal preparation recommended is Gingko Biloba, which improves blood circulation to the skin and the brain, ensuring that the necessary amount of blood is present in the hair follicles so that essential nutrients can be retained.
There are two mild shampoos approved by the US FDA, containing Finasteride, or Minoxidil, that can be found at dermatological clinics, which are of help to those facing hair-loss. Finasteride has already been established as a 'hair-saving' device, while Minoxidil - originally used to treat hypertension - was discovered to encourage hair growth. Revivogen also markets hair loss prevention shampoos and conditioners that are useful for androgenetic alopecia in males because of its DHT-blocking properties that controls loss of hair. It also contains Vitamin B that dilates the blood vessels so that blood flows freely in the skin, helping the hair follicles to retain essential nutrients, thereby encouraging growth of hair. Another similar product is the Rogaine Volumizing Shampoo that is said to clean thinning hair strands while penetrating to the hair roots, strengthening these from within. It is meant to add volume to the 'thinning hair'.
So don't lose heart - there are remedies available to bring back that crop of hair, locks and curls. While mankind is working towards various cures, men especially can take heart.
