When it comes to Hair Loss Treatments, most people just trust what they see and what the media tells them. Some get their recommendations from friends or even from so called 'marketing agents’ that provide them misguided information about their hair loss products. Do you realize that majority of these people who used these 'recommended products' complain about their effectiveness in reversing hair loss? Why is that so?

Understand the Real Cause of Your Hair Loss
I was once a totally lost, Norwood 3 balding guy so desperate in seeking for a remedy and cure for hair loss. My hair loss treatments began with all sorts of products from tonics, creams, shampoos and even stuff that are ‘beyond science’. I even spent thousands in hair centers but it didn’t grow back my hair. Tons of hard earned money was wasted not to mention the time lost and yet my hair continued to fall.
By the age of 22 I was really in despair, my hair was thinning out terribly. Believing that there must be a real way to cure my hair loss, I started researching and I finally found out what was the real reasons behind my hair loss and looked for the right hair loss treatments.
Where You Should Start?
Before you begin your hair loss treatments, you must first pinpoint and identify the problems causing it. Some of the most common hair loss conditions are
It’s important to know that what you are suffering and what treatments are suitable for each condition. If not you will only waste your time and money.
Beyond Your Head
Most people think that hair loss is all about the hair and scalp but there are a lot of other causes for hair loss, and the root of the problem might not be coming from the top of your head at all. Some of the most common hair loss problems are actually caused by
- Illnesses
- Medications
- Poor blood circulation
- Stress Related Hair Loss (Telogen Effluvium)
- Hormonal Imbalances
All of these conditions are a potential cause for your hair loss. Even if you have Pattern Baldness, you might have one of these conditions that can accelerate your hair loss. That is why even if you can stop DHT which is the principal cause of Pattern Baldness, you are still not recovering fully.
Whatever it is, one of the best ways to understand fully is to get a full body check up from your doctor. This way you will know whether you are facing any underlying conditions or other reasons for the hair loss. Make it clear once and for all first.
Write a Story About Yourself
I always thought that my hair loss problems are all just related to genetics. Yes, genetics was the main cause of my thinning problems but when I looked closer, there were many other small factors that added up to the problem and accelerated my Male Pattern Baldness. So what I drew up a summary of a short “About Me” page and it went like this…
'Both sides of my parents’ family have a history of baldness. I was working in a marketing position for a trading company for almost 10 years. During that time, my job was stressful as I travelled frequently, smoked, partied with friends till late, food junkie and lack of exercise. I also didn’t have a proper balanced diet and lack of sleep. Basically my life was totally downright unhealthy so to say.
So when I looked at it, I said to myself ‘Hey, maybe all these unhealthy lifestyles are contributing factors and it’s actually causing stress to my body and killing my hair.’ So, instead of just finding products for the hair, I adjusted my lifestyle, balanced out my diet, routine exercises and followed a proper hair loss regimen for Pattern Baldness. Ditto, my hair started growing.
Put your lifestyle in words, express your daily activities and the stuff that does harm to your body. From there, highlight out the points that are bad for your health. All these little pieces add up to your hair problems. So begin with something like this
- Your hair loss condition
- Your working life
- Your personal life
- Medical condition
- Your diet
- Medications you are taking
The main idea is, know yourself first, before you start to look for hair loss treatments.
Got a Clear Picture?
Great! Now before we begin searching for products, there is one last thing I would like to stress (it’s really the last one I promise!) you got to be ready and know what to expect. It’s really important to
- Start Early!
If you are facing Pattern Baldness or another progressive hair loss condition, start looking for the right solutions as soon as possible because when you reached to a later stage, the chances of recovery is greatly reduced. Once the hair follicle is dead, it's dead and it won't grow back. You can only grow what you have left on your head and I suggest you do it fast. - Do Your Costs Right
If you think that hair loss treatments are cheap, you are definitely wrong! Hair loss treatments require a substantial and continued investment. Prepare and estimate the costs and don’t stop half way through or else you will be wasting your investments. Depending on your condition, some treatments might require a long period of treatments to see results so get ready! - You Got to STAY POSITIVE
In whatever treatment, the most important barrier you have to get through is yourself. If you are sceptical about the effectiveness of the hair loss treatments you chose you will start to have negative thoughts about using them. Don’t create a mental block on yourself. Block negativity and STAY POSITIVE. Being positive is the best mental medicine and being positive can affect your body's reaction towards the treatment. - Be COMMITTED
If you want to succeed in anything, you have to have COMMITMENT. Treating hair loss is a commitment to yourself, and if you want to get your hair back, make sure you take your hair loss treatments promptly and use it correctly. Follow the instructions given and commit to regular use. Take your hair loss treatments even when you have to travel or when you are climbing Mount Everest.
Harvey Fierstein quotes
'If you deny yourself commitment, what can you do with your life?'
