The Best Hair Loss Treatment Depends on What Caused the Problem

In order to discover the best hair loss treatment, you first need to figure out the cause of the problem.  There are three questions that can help determine the cause.

The first question is, has your hair been falling out suddenly or by the handful?  If you answered yes then go see your doctor.  He'll refer to your problem as telogen effluvium.  That means that for some reason your hair follicles have entered the 'telogen' or resting phase of your hair cycle, which basically means your shedding.

The upside is that it is usually temporary, brought on by physical or emotional stress.  Once the underlying concern is delt with your hair should resume it's anagen (growth) phase and your excessive shedding will stop.

The best hair loss treatment for telogen effluvium is patience and extra care.  You can start taking a good hair loss supplement that will support regrowth.  You can also use topically applied solutions that stimulate regrowth.  You should be careful to treat your scalp gently from now on.  Avoid hot combs and hairstyles that put stress on the roots.

Both the second and third questions are related so I'll cover both of them here.  The second question is: Are you losing your hair in the form of a pattern on top of your head?  And the third question is: Does your family have a history of baldness?  If you answered yes to these then your not alone.  Both male and female pattern baldness is suffered by literally millions of people around the world.

This type of hair loss is called androgenic alopecia.  This means hair loss caused by the hormone androgen.  It's stated that at least half of all men suffer with this type of hair loss.  The number of women who suffer is growing every year.

There is medication that you can take to block the production of androgens but most people do not care to experience the side effects that come with these drugs.  Not only that but it seems to work more so for men then women.  There is however a more natural way to deal with this.

For androgenic alopecia the best hair loss treatment is one that incorporates nutritional support, herbal remedies and a topically applied solution that improves circulation and stimulates new hair growth.  This more natural treatment works well for men and women.
