If you are losing your hair, you may be feeling the negative
mental side effects of the stigma associated with baldness.
    Losing your hair makes you susceptible to feelings of
loss, desperation, and fading youth. The good news is that
  while science has not quite reached the zenith of curing
     baldness, you have far more options than hair loss
  sufferers did just twenty years ago. Before you grab the
clippers and go for the Bruce Willis look, you should take a
                     look at your options.
First Things First
Discovering hair loss can seem like a sudden shock to your
system. When you confirm you are experiencing baldness
  you may feel a calm but hopeless feeling. This happens
  because we have seen this scenario unfold many times
  with our friends and relatives so we assume that their
  destiny is ours. The truth is once you get past the "why
    me?" phase, you can begin dealing with the issue
 proactively. Once you have accepted that the problem is
    not going away by itself, you become much more
  empowered to take on the issue. Relax and remember
  that you have options your father and his father never
                             had.
Where To Start
Before getting into options lets define the cause so that
you know what you are dealing with and what to avoid. If
  you are experiencing male pattern baldness, your hair is
 thinning due to a genetic predisposition that causes your
 scalp to stop producing hair. In other words, your hair fall
is only a symptom of a different problem. This means that
   your hair loss should be looked at critically rather than
                         superficially.
The worst action a hair loss sufferer can take is to not
touch their hair in fear of losing more. If you stop touching
 or brushing your hair, you reduce stimulation to the scalp
in turn causing faster hair fall. This may save a few hairs in
         the short run, but when those hairs fall out
 eventually, they will not be replaced because the follicle
    will have entered a dormant phase. While dormant
   follicles can be revived over time, it is much easier to
 prevent them from entering this phase in the first place.
  Also be advised that over brushing your hair can be bad
       for your hair so do this in healthy moderation.
Additionally, hats don't cause or contribute to hair fall.
  While wearing a tight ball cap frequently may restrict
oxygen flow to the scalp, hats themselves do not affect or
cause baldness. Wearing a tight pony tail for long periods
of time may cause Traction Alopecia, a temporary form of
          hair fall which pulls hairs out by force.
Which Hair Loss Solution?
The solution you choose to treat your hair loss should be
 based on at least a few factors. There are many things to
   consider such as cost, safety, and effectiveness just to
name a few. Not all hair loss solutions are created equally.
I opted for a natural hair loss solution to avoid developing
new health risks and to curb financial cost. Other hair fall
    sufferers may choose a more clinical option like hair
                     transplant surgery.
My advice would be to research all of your options
 weighing out the pros and cons carefully before making
your decision. When you've found a solution you believe
  in, you should give it a chance to work. Many hair loss
sufferers jump from solution to solution spending lots of
money and achieving little in the way of results. There is
 nothing wrong with switching your course of treatment
 based on new information, but remember any hair loss
       solution is going to require time to take effect.
Taking Care Of Your Hair
Examine how you take care of your hair. Doing so will help
 you curb any harmful habits that could be contributing to
your hair loss. Do you use a cheap shampoo that is loaded
 with chemicals? Is your shampoo even designed for your
type of hair? Are you using shampoo too frequently? Since
 hair loss is only the symptom of a deeper problem within
  your scalp, you should examine what you're putting on
                     your scalp every day.
The scalp is a complex area with subsets of organs, which
  produce hair. There is a balance of oils (notably sebum)
   that naturally coats your hair. Too much, too little, or
  unevenly distributed sebum can cause more problems.
 Many who know about the role of sebum in hair loss feel
that too much sebum or "hardened" sebum causes and/or
  exacerbates hair loss. In reality, if you try to wash away
sebum your scalp will respond by producing more sebum.
This is just one example of hair care gone awry. In order to
 take the best care of your hair, you should use a shampoo
designed to meet the needs of your scalp. I use a shampoo
called Nioxin, which cleans the scalp without upsetting the
balance of essential oils. This is not an expensive shampoo
    but it is designed to be used by those suffering from
  thinning hair. Many shampoos are designed for hair loss
  sufferers and add another weapon in the battle against
                           hair loss.
There can be some confusion about these shampoos.
 There are generally two types of shampoos for hair loss
  sufferers. There are shampoos like Nioxin that work to
remove residual DHT thus protecting remaining hair from
   fall out. There are also cheaper shampoos sometimes
   marketed as "thickener" shampoos. These shampoos
  don't remove residual DHT but only thicken remaining
 hair. Your hair will be just as susceptible to fall out. Your
      hair will only look thicker due to added volume.
No shampoo alone will regrow hair, but there are
  shampoos like Nioxin that protect remaining hair from
fallout. I highly recommend using this type of shampoo as
     a measure to prevent fallout combined with other
  techniques and/or solutions. Doing so will protect your
 remaining hair while other methods and techniques will
                   help regenerate lost hair.
Develop A Proactive Attitude
Being proactive with hair fall is the best way to keep your
hair and recover hair that you have already lost. There are
 a number of measures you can take to address hair loss.
Don't be afraid to handle your hair. Begin at home looking
at what you've been doing to care for your hair. Look for a
   course of treatment that is right for you. You have an
  opportunity to treat your hair loss, so if you really want
your hair back put down the clippers and take action. With
  good research, consistency, and a positive attitude, hair
               loss can be a thing of the past.
