I am losing my hair rapidly, can anything be done?

Hair loss for no apparent reason should cause you to check with your doctor. Assuming that checks out OK, there are a few reasons why we lose our hair. Heredity is a big one. If your are male, you usually inherit your hairline from your mother's father. Men's tendency to lose hair with age, is known as male pattern baldness. There is no way to permanently stop its progress, but there are things you can do to slow it down.

Many bald men have shiny heads, almost as if they had waxed and buffed them to a shine. In fact, the scalp secretes a waxlike substance called sebum. It is that substance that causes the shine on bald heads. It is present on all heads and if you are losing hair, it is possible that excess sebum is choking off hair follicles. Have your hairdresser recommend a shampoo for you that contains sebum emulsifiers.

Another thing that has proved to be helpful is any form of scalp stimulation. By massaging the scalp, increased blood flow causes moderate hair re growth. Get a quality, boar bristle brush to use. These natural bristles are good for your hair and stimulate the scalp nicely. Spend a little more time massaging your scalp as you shampoo and condition. Try a vibrating hair brush! They feel wonderful! Try Minoxidil to stop hair loss and regrow hair. It is now available without a prescription, and there are generic versions on the market which are less expensive.
