Curing Hair Loss
Hair Like Samson, before he met Delilah! A multi-millionaire will be made one day, the day a scientific researcher find a universally successful hair regrowth product. The amount of money being funneled into hair loss research is substantial, and as long as our society puts such great stock in appearance of a full head of hair, the research will continue until that all conquering hair loss cure is found. Until then, men and women will need to rely on the current available hair regrowth products that are available, with or without perscription, or resort to surgical hair loss treatments and all of the these hair loss cures will be have mixed results, dependent upon the individual.
Each person's physical make up is unique, with unique levels of hormones, chemicals, and enzymes. It is for this reason, to date, that there has not been a universal cure. Some people experience reduction in hair loss and solid regrowth, while others using the same product may not see the same results. For those who experience less than desired results from the variety of topicals, pills, herbs and hair products available, there are currently surgical cures, if they have the financial wherewithal to pursue them. These involve a variety of transplant techniques and can be tedious and a painful. Such cures are available for both men and women.
In transplants, a hair strip is taken from a donor area of the scalp, usually the back, because pattern baldness in both men and women usually does not affect the back of the head. From these stips, individual follicles are extracted and then implanted into the bald area of the scalp. The art of this procedure is to get the follicle in so that the slant of the hair is correct for that part of the head. There are usually 1-5 hairs in each follicle, so you can imagine how many transplants have to occur if someone wants a full thick head of hair to replace a completely bald spot. The average cost of transplant, per follicle is $4 - $6. The average cost of pattern baldness transplants is about $10,000, a hefty bill for most of us. For women who have overall balding or hair thinning, the cost can be greater still. If you do not have $10,000 to spend at the moment and you must wait until regrowth products improve, you may have to be content with less preferable but effective methods like using Provillus.
There have been great advances in hair pieces for men, and wigs are as much a fashion accessory as jewelry for women. If you select this route, buy a good one and go to a professional who is widely experienced in developing unique hair pieces for individual needs. Generally, you get what you pay for. Fit and ability to have confidence that wind and lots of movement will not move your hair piece are extremely important. While not the permanent cure you really want, the embarrassment of societal reaction to your baldness is eliminated. Keep abreast of research in the area of hair loss cures. Scientists are close, and the answer could come any day. In the meantime, do what makes you feel comfortable and confident, and use any product that helps you reduce the rate of your current hair loss. Stress and anxiety over this condition will only make it worse.
