What treatments are there for hair loss in men and women?
There are many types of alopecia (baldness or hair loss), each with a different cause. Alopecia may be localized to the front and top of the head as in common male pattern baldness. It may be patchy as in a condition called alopecia areata. Or it can involve the entire head as in alopecia capitis totalis. The word "alopecia" comes from the Greek "alopex" for "fox." Foxes are less furry when afflicted with a skin disease (the "mange") which causes them to lose their hair. When a fancier word for "baldness" was sought, the mangy fox supplied it — "alopecia" or, if you wish, "fox-mange" — not a very positive image to associate with baldness!

Treatments are there for hair loss in men
Many conditioners, shampoos, vitamins, and other products claim to help hair grow in some unspecified way. These are harmless but useless. To slow down hair loss, there are two basic options:
* Minoxidil (brand name: Rogaine): This topical application is over-the-counter, no prescription is required. It works best on the crown, less on the frontal region. Available as a 2% solution, Rogaine may grow a little hair, but is better at holding onto what's still there. There are few side effects with Rogaine. The main problem with this treatment is the need to keep applying it twice a day, and most men get tired of it after a while. In addition, Minoxidil works less well on the front of the head, which is where baldness bothers most men. This drug also comes in a higher strength, 5%, which may be a bit more effective.
treatments are there for hair loss in women
* Ask your doctor about minoxidil (the generic name for Rogaine). This is over-the-counter and available in 2% and 5% concentrations. It's something of a nuisance to apply, but it helps conserve hair and may even grow some.
* Propecia is a drug that helps men retain their hair. It is unsafe for women of childbearing to take this drug, or even handle tablets. (It is, however, safe for their husbands to take it while they are trying to become pregnant.) Propecia is safe for older women but not very effective; newer studies suggest that it might be somewhat helpful and may be worth considering.
* Surgical procedures like hair transplants can be useful for some women as well as men to "fill in" thinned-out areas.
A cause can be stress. Some suffer from that.
Sometimes hair loss is hereditary.
Here, see whats worked for me and when i mean worked i mean REALLY worked as in my hair has come back. Meaning i dont need to worry about going out or trying to hide the patches.
1. Scalp Massage for Improved Growth
Massaging the scalp for a couple of minutes a day can help improve the blood flow to the hair follicles and in most cases stimulate some hair growth. This is particularly helpful since poor blood circulation is one of the main causes of hair loss.
2. Saw Palmetto Extract
Saw palmetto has been used for years as an alternative treatment to fight off baldness and other alopecia problems. It contains natural DHT inhibiting substances. DHT or dihydrotestosterone is one of the major factors of hair loss and other alopecia disorders.
3. Healthy and Nutritious Meals Everyday
By eating in more nutritious meals everyday, you are providing your body as well as the hair follicles the necessary and vital nutrients involved in the natural hair manufacturing process. Eating in more healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and lean meat will ensure healthy hair growth.
4. Nettle Roots
Nettle roots contain high amounts of vitamins A and C as well as other beneficial nutrients that can help improve hair growth. Studies have also shown that nettle is capable of blocking 5-alpha reductase in treating alopecia problems.
5. Stress and Alopecia
Stress is one of the major inducing factors of alopecia problems. The effects of stress on your hair are very significant and severe. For this reason, make sure you regularly keep your stress level in check.
6. Biotin
Biotin has shown tremendous capabilities in improving the health, growth as well as volume of the hair. Biotin is considered one of the most important vitamins when it comes to treating and stopping alopecia. Biotin can be found in foods like eggs, cereals and brewer's yeast.
My dearest friend, I know all too well how it feels like to have hair loss. Embarrassments, frustrations and a huge dip in self confidence as well as hundreds of other bad things come hand in hand with baldness and hair loss.
I understand that, anyone that has hair loss problems is looking for the miracle way to cure it quick, cheaply and permanently. But does such miracle cure really exist? Not really.
But what if I tell you that an hair growing system that comes as close to miracle cure does exist?
Well I'll show you worked for me, now i dont know if they stock it in chemists but what i do know is that you should buy it directly from them which you can by visiting their offical site
