How to Re-Grow Hair - What Are the Options?
You had a thick glorious head of hair, and then you started to notice it was getting a little thin in spots. Then a little thinner and thinner and then where did it all go? If you are faced with this dilemma, let us explore the options.
Hair loss can be an issue faced by men, women and even children. Hair loss can have a detrimental effect on one's self-esteem. You can approach the issue with depression or with zeal to find a solution that you can be happy with. Let us examine some of the options available today.
First, let us put the effect of losing one's hair in perspective. In a survey of 2,338 men by the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, more than 1,300 said they would be willing to give up a personal possession in exchange for more hair. Of that group, 26% said they would be willing to give up a stereo system, 21% a cell phone, 17% a laptop and 13% a plasma TV. This definitely shows how men feel about their hair loss.
In the US alone, it is estimated that hair restoration procedures account for $800 million in sales, mostly to men. You have a couple of choices: shave your head (this takes a lot of guts) or find a treatment to re-grow or replace your hair.
Society has proven that someone with a shaved head is looked at as less trustworthy or appealing to the eye. The TV commercials or magazines do not show the hot girl with the bald headed man. Nope, it is the GQ looking guy with the nice thick well-trimmed haircut. The reason being, this type of look sells. Women just prefer it.
So what are the options if you want to find a treatment to get your hair to re-grow or be replaced?
- Your physical health. First, get yourself checked out by a physician to make sure there are no underlying health reasons for the hair loss. Your hair is a direct reflection of your physical health. If your body is deficient in a mineral or vitamin, it will show up in your hair growth.
- How about medication? A dermatologist can help you find out if medications, such as menoxidil, (Rogaine) or prescription-only propecia, are smart choices. These are the only two drugs approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for treating hair loss, both have been shown as effective in preventing hair loss for as long as they are used and can be taken simultaneously for potentially better results. They can help with thinning hair and to promote re-growth of hair. Rogaine can cost about $30 - $40 per month or around $400 -$500 per year.
