Treatment Tips

Once you find out why you are losing hair, you need to decide on what treatments to use, if any. If you look on the Internet, you'll find a host of different products promising to regrow your hair. Which one should you use? A lot of products are expensive versions of saw palmetto (an herb which helps to block the conversion of testosterone to DHT) or minoxidil (Rogaine), both of which you could probably get cheaper elsewhere.

It is important to realize that there is no 100 percent guarantee with any treatment; as no single treatment is available that will regrow everyone's hair. In fact, I would go so far as to say that if anyone offers a 100 percent guarantee, you should be extremely skeptical. This doesn't mean that there is no hope as there are many causes of hair loss. Depending on why your hair is falling out, there are many treatments that can improve your condition and regrow your hair. Sometimes you may need to change treatments or use more than one treatment to find the best combination for you. This is why it's important to find out what's causing your hair loss first.

So what treatments should you use? The answer largely depends on what is causing your hair loss. Generic treatments, which you can purchase at many beauty salons and pharmacists, are formulated to help everyone with hair loss. They may temporarily help the symptoms of your hair loss, but if you don't identify the root of the problem, you will not see long-term improvement. Many treatments will help a proportion of people, but you want to use what will help you specifically. So, after you have ascertained why your hair is falling out, you want to use a treatment regimen that will help all these factors.

Often, therefore, a multifaceted treatment is necessary to get the best results. The more treatments that you use that are orientated to your problems, the better the chance of improvement.
