Can Hair Loss Pills Help Me?
Are you one of those people concerned about going bald or getting balder, and are looking for a cure? Well, there's a lot of hair loss pills, creams and rinses out there, but do they work? You're not alone.
A quarter of men in their 20's and 50% of men in their 50's all lose hair or go bald.
Until now, the only way to hide this fact was to use expensive and obvious-looking hair-plugs and transplants.
However, with advances in medical science, there are now solutions that actually work.
Male pattern baldness is hereditary, and is triggered by testosterone reacting with hair follicle oil producing glands, producing dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
When DHT is produced, this shrivels hair follicles and thickens the skin of the scalp.
Not only does your hair fall out, but the scalp closes over the root so the hair will not grow back - ever.
There is no magic in these chemical reactions, and no old wives' tales need be adhered to.
The causes of baldness are known.
This is a simple chemical reaction.
So what do hair loss pills and the like do? As you can guess, the chemicals in the pills interfere with the reaction described above.
They can do this in a number of ways.
One type of pill may block the production of the nasty DHT chemical meaning that, over time, follicles stop shrinking and resume their normal healthy role - to grow hair.
As long as you take the pill, DHT production can be inhibited.
Another pill directly stimulates follicles, causing them to actually grow.
This may then lead to new hair growth.
These pills reverse the process - they thin the membrane that has grown over the follicle, which may then be reopened, allowing growth.
In conjunction with these new supplements, many naturally-occurring substances will help the growth of your hair while the pills are taking effect.
Zinc, vitamin B5 and Ginkgo all are shown to help the health of the follicle and therefore the hair.
There is no need, either, to wait until full baldness sets in.
If more and more hair is discovered in your comb or hairbrush, now may be the time to start trying to halt DHT production.
After all, it does take between 3 to 6 months for the process to become effective.
Talking about the time it takes for results to show, when you do opt to take a hair loss pill treatment, you should be faithful to it.
Different pills work in different ways, meaning that if you jump from one to another, the work is lost from that pill up to now, and you're starting over.
Patience is the name of the game, if you wish to see results.
It goes without saying that you should first consult your doctor before going on a course of hair loss pills, shampoos or lotions.
These pills act on hormones in your body so can cause some side effects, especially if you are using them in conjunction with medicine prescribed by your doctor.
