Treat Baldness
Baldness is a problem that is visible everywhere, every time of the
year. The problem of hair loss is no longer confined to men - baldness
has now begun to affect women in almost equal proportions. Children
are not being spared either. In other words, it is a boom time for
sellers of hair loss products who look to treat baldness. Just look
at the ads in different newspapers – the market seems to be
full of products that offer a 100 percent guarantee against hair loss
with some even promising to bring the lost hairs back on your head.
Going by their claims to be able to treat baldness in men and women,
it is a matter of great surprise why we continue to find so many bald
people around us day in and day out. The best way is to seek the advice
of your doctor and determine which baldness treatment product or hair
restoration system could be beneficial for your hair. As hair loss
is caused by a number of factors, such as iron deficiency anemia,
side effects of medication, endocrine conditions etc., only a competent
doctor can trace its real cause and suggest a suitable product to
effectively treat baldness and thin hair. So why waste your time and
money by trying different products without consulting your doctor?
There are some home remedies for hair loss that some people claim
are great baldness treatments - like rinsing your hair with a solution
of sage tea and apple cider vinegar; massaging warm almond oil,
castor oil, olive oil, jojoba oil and amla oil into the scalp; massaging
coconut milk or aloe vera gel into the scalp and applying a masque
of honey and egg yolk to the hair and scalp. Most of these can be
shampooed out after use. There are some herbal baldness remedies
too that can act against hair loss. These are ginko biloba, green
tea, polygonum multiflorum, pygeum, aloe vera, saw palmetto (serenoa
repens), stinging nettle and resveratrol, a natural antioxidant
found in grape skins. Some of these are available in tablet forms,
while some are made into preparations that you massage into your
scalp.
