Sometimes it's a concern bordering on vanity, but most of the time when we look in the mirror and we see that our hair is thinning, we consider our mortality, as it is a sign of aging, though not a very reliable one at that. The most common form of hair loss is called androgenic alopecia, known popularly as the syndrome of male pattern baldness. Preventing Hair Loss has consequently become a major concern of both health and hair practitioners.

Some studies are casting doubts on the irrefutability of hereditary and genetic conditions being the only cause of baldness, and it has become a concern of the natural medicine domain. Partly because some contemporary hair loss solutions rely on organic and natural compounds to do the job of reducing the incidence of baldness.

There are as many reasons for resorting to hair loss solutions as there are styles of hair. Some will make it a priority because they work or live in a high-pressure and competitive world where appearances unfortunately count for more than they should in terms of being able to advance and impress superiors. Some are just convinced that a good hairdo is something to have all their life, but are repulsed by extreme solutions such as hair plugs and wigs.

But the fact is that good hair contributes to a person's well-being, their confidence and self-esteem. It's evident that the term €bad hair day€ refers to the hair being the top of an iceberg of misery that one's appearance can have on an off-day.

One of the solutions, which should have been obvious, is moderation in intake of fatty foods and caffeine, which also contribute to stressful conditions. Again comes another dictum that being stressed out is akin to pulling your hair out. You don't have to yank on anything to know that if you've gone through a prolonged period of bad times, that your hair will suffer as a result. Another condition which was once thought to be an exaggeration is someone's hair turning white overnight (actually it can take a week or two) due to a traumatic event. All these incidences which have been pointed to for a long time by popular wisdom are other areas of research that those battling hair loss have been looking into.

There are no limits to the different attempts at finding a cure or partial remedy is in the domain of vitamins. Vitamin D and Omega-3 essential fatty acids have been used to help out those experiencing dramatic hair loss during chemotherapy sessions. Women in particular have been prone to iron deficiencies that contribute to hair thinning. In response to this doctors have used a drug called Inositol to replace B complex vitamins. Into this mix, you can also add Vitamin B5 to the list of semi-successful compounds used to fight hair loss.
