I?ve Noticed My Hair Thinning ? What Can I Do?
If you notice your hair thinning, this might not be any immediate cause for alarm. There can be any number of reasons why this is happening. It is impossible to come up with a simple explanation for hair thinning because everyone has different medical conditions and different circumstances in their lives. The only way to determine the cause of the thinning is to visit your doctor. He/She will set up a series of tests to determine whether the reasons are genetic, dietary, the symptoms of a disease or medical treatments.
By far, the leading cause of hair thinning in both men and women is genetic. Scientists have determined that wearing a cap does not cause thinning hair and that many of the hair thinning products on the market, such as shampoos and solutions, do not work.
Hair thinning treatments prescribed by the doctor have varying results and are different for each patient. While some of these treatments do have success, as soon as you stop using them the hair starts thinning out again. You will never recover the full head of hair of your youth, but many hair thinning products can help you from becoming completely bald.
Surgical hair thinning treatments are successful, but costly. The surgeon removes a small patch of healthy hair and used this to create several hair grafts. With this treatment for hair thinning, he/she will place them over the thinning patches at angles so that when the hair starts to grow, no one will ever notice the difference. You may also have to use other hair thinning products prescribed by the doctor, such as a pill or a topical solution that you use twice a day on your scalp.
Women appear to be better candidates for this treatment because they usually don't lose all their hair. These hair thinning treatments are also different for men and women because some of these products cause hair to grow on other parts of the body that might be unseemly for a female.
You also have to be careful about the hair thinning treatments, even if they are prescribed. Some of them have harmful side effects and some of them only promote hair growth on the top and the sides of the head and not for hair thinning on the back. You might want to have beautiful hair again, but not at the expense of your health.
Hair thinning treatments can vary widely, so consult your doctor first.
