Your Hair Loss Problem Does Not Have to Make You Suffer
Are you like me? Do we have something in common? I was just thirty-five when I first noticed that I was beginning to lose my hair. My then-four year old son noticed my bald spot before I did! What followed was at least a year of confusion, fear, anxiety, self-pity and a powerless feeling, because I was certain that my hair loss was something that I couldn’t do a thing about. I was going to have to suffer through the slow loss of all of my hair, and nothing would help!
I was wrong. And if you believe that your hair loss is an inevitable part of aging, then you’re wrong too! After the initial shock and anger began to subside, I started to research all of the options that I had with real enthusiasm. So much information exists around hair loss and how to combat it - I quickly realized that hair loss is a huge issue for millions of people, and it’s a problem that has been around since written time began. Thousands of scientists, scholars and medical practitioners of every variety have been hard at work for centuries trying to address hair loss - and some have met with significant success.
My job, then, became one of sifting through all of the information that I could find, researching different products, separating the good ideas and products from the bogus ones and putting together a plan to attack my own hair loss. One thing became clear very quickly: a healthy lifestyle is a critical component to treating hair loss. A gorgeous head of hair will not grow on a polluted body! I had to clean up my act. Here are a few of the more important decisions that helped me completely rid myself of hair loss as a problem in my life:
* Interestingly, fatty animal proteins are linked to hair loss. Did you know that there are very few reported cases of hair loss in pre-WWII Japanese men? But once the Japanese diet was Westernized - and contained more animal protein - instances of hair loss began to climb. I’m not a vegetarian today, but I limit the amount of red meat that I eat; it’s a good healthy practice for a number of reasons, and hair loss is just one.
* The physiological and psychological impacts of stress are well known, and it is also well documented that stress can and will lead to hair loss. My method of reducing stress revolved around exercise, a well-known outlet for all kinds of stress. Exercise also promotes fatigue, which ultimately leads to better sleep habits and better quality rest, another vital component in stress reduction. What can you learn from this? Find a form of exercise that you can stick with, and make sure to get plenty of rest. As for me - I jog. It’s wonderful exercise, I can do it most anywhere, I sleep better than ever after a decent workout, and stress is all but gone from my life.
* On the subject of hair care, the course of action is also very simple - be kind to your hair. No pulling or biting. No hot air driers. And find a shampoo that is gentle. The lathering components in some shampoos may make plenty of rich lather, but they can also be very harsh and hard on your hair. Find a shampoo that is gentle and recommended for thinning hair; it will contain less irritants that may dry hair and scalp, which will lead to a healthier head of hair.
* Finally - by far the most common cause of hair loss in both men and women is associated with a hormonal derivative of testosterone known as DHT which, while in the bloodstream, tends to thicken scalp skin cells and starve hair follicles, inhibiting new hair growth. DHT production in body can be inhibited using minoxidil which is approved by the FDA for just that - reducing DHT production and stimulating hair growth. It’s available in a number of over-the-counter products, and it works - at least for me.
The hardest parts of attacking my own hair loss had to do with lifestyle changes. One of the easiest parts was choosing a product that contained minoxidil, testing it on myself, gauging results and sticking with the best one. For me, it’s Provillus. Provillus embodies my own philosophy when addressing hair loss - it contains at least five active ingredients that have shown evidence of stopping hair loss or promoting hair growth and so attacks hair loss from many different angles - all in one product. I tried a number of different products for hair loss before I found Provillus, but I’ve been using it now for several years and my hair loss is not a problem any more.
In fighting hair loss, be persistent and optimistic. Your hair loss can be beaten! The relief that you can find in eliminating this problem from your life is enormous, and all it takes is persistence. Find a hair loss treatment that works for you. Provillus is a good place to start, as it has been proven to work for millions of others.
