Causes and Treatment of Hair Re-Growth for Men and Women

If there’s one problem that most men are likely to face than women is the loss of hair that leads to baldness. First of all, you have to understand some of the causes that lead to excessive loss of hair.

The patchy hair loss is often caused by alopecia areata, which comes as results of small bald patches that eventually grow back in place after a period of six months without any kind of treatment. This kind of hair disorder is controlled through injection of steroids in the affected areas so as to kindle hair growth. Other treatments that are not highly recommended due to their side effects are the use of oral steroids and ultraviolet light therapies.

Traction alopecia comes about when one tightens pony tails or braids that at time force the hair to loosely fall out. If you happen to notice such a problem, it’s good to seek other alternative hairstyles that will have less pressure executed on the hair. The trichotillomania is another patch hair disorder that results from the tendency of pulling or twisting the hair now and then. Avoid at all costs that kind of behaviour before it turns into a disease. The tineacapitis on the other hand is caused by a fungal infectivity, especially in children and can best be controlled by the use of oral antibiotics.

For general hair loss it’s mostly caused by the telogen effluvium, which normally occurs as a result of childbirth, very high fevers, drastic weight losses and unprecedented surgeries; and the androgentic hair loss that comes about due to less coordination of the hereditary factors and body hormones.

So what are the basic treatments that one can carry out to see to it that no more hair is lost? You can start by avoiding the use of hair shampoos, vitamins and conditioners since they only contribute in the slower production rate of the hair. Hair re-growth in both men and women can best be controlled by using various products such as minoxidil; that best works on the front areas of the head and the finasteride; that is aimed at ensuring the very same hair on you remains intact while the rest keeps on growing. Lest you forget, any kind of medication given by the physician about these two drugs should be followed to the letter.

Other optional hair re-growth strategies that both men and women can use are through purchasing suitable hairpieces and hair transplant surgeries. You may probably be wondering whether the hair loss in women is any different from the men. Well, the answer is yes. Remember that women loose hair gradually that may even take years before it is noticeable unlike men whose loss is very fast. Most hair re-growth strategies in women can also be cured through the very same procedures as men, though theirs tend to be much faster than for men. But again, avoid too much surgery for it is known to lead to catastrophic results both on your hair and body.
