Millions of the people worldwide suffer from hair loss and
this is the reason why hair loss remedies are a billion
dollar industry.

The answer to the million-dollar question of how to get
hair back is to know how you lost it in the first place.
You can determine the correct remedy for hair loss only
after you know the exact cause of hair loss.

#1 Get Your Hormones Checked

Specific problems with the hormones such as thyroid and
pituitary is a cause of hair loss. Consult your doctor to
conduct relevant tests and rule out this possibility. If a
hormonal imbalance were the reason for hair loss, the
doctor would recommend a course of appropriate drugs to
solve the problem.

#2 Anti - Androgenic Therapy

Excessive amount of DHT (which is a component of the male
hormone) causes hair loss and baldness. If DHT were the
problem and causing hair loss, the doctor would put you on
drugs that form a part of antiandrogen therapy. In women,
the treatment is called CPA (cyproterone acetate) with
ethinyl-estradiol. The therapy typically lasts for a period
of one year.

#3 Some Wonder Drugs - Over the years, researchers have
invented certain drugs that work very successfully for hair
loss. This includes minoxidil (more popularly known as
Rogaine) and finasteride. However, finasteride is not for
good for hair loss among women.

#4 Keep the Scalp Clean

Clean the scalp of dirt, dandruff and excess oil can help
prevent hair loss.

#5 Hair Transplant

Hair transplant is surgical method to treat hair loss. It
involves operations that extract parts of the scalp from
the sides and back of the head where the hair grows well.
It is then implanted on those regions of the head that are
going bald.

Hair re-growth is possible because the hair follicles in
the side and the back of the head are immune to the hair
loss problems. However, It is an expensive procedure. It
costs approximately $15,000 and takes 1-2 years to
complete.

#6 Hair Weaving

Hair weaving is not a surgical method for hair loss. This
cosmetic procedure attaches extensions of natural or
synthetic hair.

#7 Tissue Expansion

In this procedure, silicone bags are inserted beneath hair-
bearing skin to expand the tissues. This is then
transferred to the areas with a hair loss or baldness.

#8 Other Solutions

Some other solutions camouflage the hair loss or baldness
problem. These include using wigs or toupees and getting a
smart haircut to hide thinning hair or bald patches. For
this process, you need the services of a skilled barber.
