Hair Loss

For men one of the scariest things for them to experience is hair loss. Not only does hair loss tell a guy that he is getting old, but hair loss can make a person believe that he is less attractive and this causes him to have less self esteem. While normal hair loss is due to genetics usually passed down in the genes there are now great ways to combat hair loss and even regain a full head of hair. Here are a few tips on combating hair loss

If you started to lose your hair, contact your doctor and make sure that your hair loss is due to genetics and not to a deficiency or illness. If your hair loss is due to genetics there are a few treatments that you can try from topical solutions to a prescription pill that will slow down and regrow some hair.

Minoxodil is a drug that is in Rogaine. Rogaine can be purchased at a drug store without a prescription. It is applied to the scalp twice a day. Rogaine has the ability of slowing or stopping hair loss and regrow your hair back. Results vary but some men do see a difference especially on the crown of the head.

Propecia is a prescription medication that affects the chemistry of your body and slows hair loss, it is also proven to regrow hair. While more effective than Rogaine, Propecia does require a prescription and is not the magic bullet.

So if you want to stop hair loss consult your physician and talk about medical treatments to stop hair loss
