Is Thin Hair Help Even Possible For The Average Person?
Coming from someone who has been following balding and/or thinning hair for over ten years now it is my observation that the need for thin hair help has never been greater. It seems as if there is an ever increasing number of people losing their hair prematurely. This includes both men and women.
It was thought by most experts only a few short years ago that this trend would move in the other direction, with less and less people needing thin hair help due to a better understanding of balding and the availability of over the counter hair re-growth products. Nevertheless, this doesn't seem to be the case.
Part of the problem is that current popular products for thin hair help such as topical minoxidil are very effective at protecting existing hair but only marginally successful when asked to produce new quality growth.
What happens regularly is that by the time a person seeks thin hair help they already have experienced a substantial amount of balding and/or thinning. Perhaps, part of the reason for this is not the will to take action but a misunderstanding of the interworking of hair loss.
Because of this, a man or women seeking thin hair help will first look for solutions in the shampoo and conditioner isle of their local superstore. Certainly, using quality shampoos and conditioners is a very important part of hair health but they will not protect your hair against hormone driven hair loss.
Hormone driven hair loss, specifically male or female pattern balding is progressive and attacks hair at the follicle level. Let's quickly take a look at how this condition works.
It all starts with the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone in the hair cell. Once this conversion takes place dihydrotestosterone binds with receptors deep within the hair follicle leading to follicle damage and follicle death over time. The damaged follicles are no longer capable of producing new hair growth and as the condition spreads the balding follows closely behind.
As you can see your shampoo and conditioner will not be able to restore these damaged and dying follicles, thus the condition will continue to get worse despite your best efforts to stop it.
In all honesty getting the right information early is likely the most important factor in controlling androgenetic hair loss. The product most experts believe to be the most effective is topical minoxidil. But even minoxidil doesn't work all the time. The most recent research numbers state that topical minoxidil slows balding about 85 percent of the time and stimulates new hair growth in about 3 out of 10 instances. Is the glass half empty or half full? This is the dilemma, and a question best answered by each individual.
What Next? There are currently a handful of hair re-growth products (specially formulated for both men and women) which have been proven effective both in blocking harmful hormones and bringing the all important dead hair follicles back to life. These specially formulated treatments can be used both as a preventative tool, starting before hair loss becomes severe, or after loss of hair has become noticeable. Whatever the level of balding or thinning you are experiencing these products could be just what is needed to overcome this latest life challenge.
