People lose 50 to 100 strands of hair a day; this is actually a natural occurrence. Thankfully, our hair grows back at a faster rate. It is a delicate balance. However, if the balance is compromised, whether the rate of hair loss increases, or hair production decreases, you’ll start seeing the noticeable effect of it in the mirror.
So how can we deal with hair loss? There are several options available on the market:
- Minoxidil: Originally used by people suffering from heart disease to increase blood flow, this topical cream increases the blood supply of follicles to encourage hair growth. Applied twice a day, the effects continue as long as you apply it. It’s actually one of the safer options available as there have been no reported side-effects.
- Laser therapy: A rather hi-tech solution, the application of lasers to your scalp to rejuvenate hair follicles has been proven effective. The main limitation is that you’ll actually have to visit the doctor’s office to get this treatment, though there are some laser “combs” and “brushes” available.
- Hair transplants: A popular option right now is to get hair transplants. The process involves transplanting skin from parts of your scalp that have active hair follicles to your bald areas. It usually takes several sessions since only 10 to 60 are transplanted each time, but in several months, you’ll have a full head of hair.
