Have you been worried about your thinning hair? For decades now, hair loss has been the concern of many. There are several products for hair loss in the market. Some are taken orally. Some are applied topically in the form of hair spray, gel or shampoo and conditioner. Some products focus on hair follicle revitalization using amino acids.
Amino acids are a common component for many hair loss products. They are considered hair vitamins. Specific amino acids that have been found to be beneficial to the growth of hair are cysteine, cystine, arginine, lysine and methionine. The products are either taken orally or applied topically.
Similar to amino acids, products using thymosin as the active ingredient also reverses balding. The difference is it does not just make the follicles healthier; rather, it promotes hair follicle cell growth.
Also focusing on the revival of hair follicles are products that use copper peptides. Copper is a nutrient that also promotes hair growth. There are products that are applied by spraying the solution onto the scalp; while others are available as shampoo and conditioner.
Minoxidil, which is available in the market under different brand names, is available in oral and topical forms. Although its effectiveness has been proven to reduce baldness, there are a few important things to note before you decide to start using any Minoxidil product. It has been observed that its effectiveness lasts only while the Minoxidil product is being used. This means that once you stop treatment, hair loss starts to recur. Also, its effectively is limited to vertex or central balding; and is less effective when there is already a large area of baldness. Some side effects include scalp itching, swelling of the face, light-headiness and rapid or irregular heartbeat.
For those who prefer to go herbal, nature does have a number of suggestions. You can try taking supplements of the building blocks of hair. These are essential fatty acids such as fish or flax seed oils, proteins in the form of lecithin, and minerals such as silica and zinc.
Before choosing one amongst the many products for hair loss that are now available, be careful. Being hasty and unthinking may lead to even more problems that you started out with. The safest way would be to choose a product that has passed FDA testing. If you are going to order from Internet sites, aside from being FDA approved, make sure to get one that has a guarantee.
