If hair loss is caused due to some medication taken for any medical condition, then the best treatment for hair loss would be to stop taking such medication if possible. 2) Sometimes hair loss is a result of using certain hair products such as shampoos, gels, or other cosmetics. Some chemicals in these products can react with your skin and cause hair loss. In such cases the best option would be to switch to different brands and find one that your skin is suited to. 3) Where hair loss is due to heredity and genetic make up; such as in typical male and female pattern baldness, there are a number of prescription and over the counter medicines that are available to treat the condition. But scientific research and clinical trials have shown that only two of these medicines have any positive significant effect on hair loss. These two drugs are Propecia and Rogaine. Propecia (finasteride) is available as a pill to be taken daily. Rogaine (minoxidil) is a solution applied locally to the scalp. Both these drugs have proved to be effective treatments for hair loss. But what is best for an individual cannot be standardized as you might benefit more from one and someone else from the other. These drugs are available in the above stated names in the US and UK; so if you are from any other part of the world, you should see what is available locally. 4) Another form that is slowly but surely gaining importance is Alternative Treatment. People think that such treatments are less harmful and more likely to succeed than western medicine. But in fact alternative therapies can also have their share of side effects. Lastly what can be said is; to find a treatment for hair loss that is best for you, you need to first know the underlying causes for hair fall. Consult your doctor to know why you are losing hair and then you can decide on your further course of action. There are no cures in a bottle or pill to make hair grow back or there would be no need for having your hair surgically transplanted. The use of many of these so-called "grow your hair back" have short studies done on them and long term side effects can not be guaranteed. Your skin (even on the scalp) is the largest breathing organ in your body, so be careful! There are some great products out there that will keep what hair you have healthy and help you keep what hair you have, but it does not grow hair back. At the very most you may see fuzz. Also if you try many of these products and find they don't work and stop, you will find you could very well lose more hair. There are two ways you can have more hair ... surgically, or, a good wig. This includes both men and women. When one hears about wigs they think of the horrible toupees men had to wear and the very thick and awkward wigs that women use to have to wear. Now the wigs are light, airy and you can also pull through some of your own hair. They are very natural looking and some are human hair while others synthetic. I know several people (men too) that I thought had beautiful hair, but they turned out to be wigs (because they told me so.) I would have never guessed. Please see a good wig shop and try on a few. The U.S. has some of the best wig shops around and Canada is low in this area. Give it a try and stay away from products that are way too expensive and few results, and see about those wigs. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Also, these wigs stay on men much better than they use too.
