The mere scene of your hair shed on your pillow, cushion or towel can drive you crazy. Losing hair is nothing new; men since the stone age have tried to reverse the process of hair loss. Often, good quality hair is associated with self-esteem, since it is an outward sign of good personality, attractiveness and youth.
Though theorists say that there is no guaranteed treatment to prevent or stop hair loss, some drugs have shown encouraging results in last few years. Besides drugs, there are other options such as hair transplantations, natural and herbal remedies or surgeries, though the latter have few clinically significant statistics in their favor.
Treatment Options
- Surgical Intervention: In this case, small hair plugs are taken from the head scalp and are transplanted into the bald patches. The disadvantage is that this procedure is expensive and takes long time to show effective results. Results show possibility of significant retention of hair, however, multiple treatments are often required, each at considerable cost. There is also the issue of scarring, as well as the discomforting notion of “manipulating” one’s scalp.
- Scalp Reduction: Loose skin on the scalp is surgically removed by pulling the hair on the sides of the head up. As the skin on the forehead is also sometimes slightly lifted it lessens wrinkles and shields visible baldness.
- Natural, Herbal Remedies: Oiling and massaging the hair and washing these with Aamla (embilica officinalis), Shikakai (Acacia concinna) are commonly recommended to prevent hair loss in men. A mixture of lettuce and spinach juice is also said to induce new hair growth. Applying coconut oil mixed with lime juice strengthens hair. However, all these herbal treatment options are very much a hit and miss; there is no study or research that points to a clinically significant success rate of some or all of these treatments.
Rather, a better alternative is using FDA approved medication.
Medication (The Best and Most Effective Option): 1 mg of Finasteride daily, known commonly by its brand name as Propecia, is the most widely recommended medicine that people have used worldwide in the treatment of alopecia (hair loss). Finasteride inhibits the growth of DHT, the primary substance responsible for causing hair loss in men.
Finasteride should only be used by men, with the guidance of a qualified medical practitioner. Do not give Finasteride to any woman; do not allow pregnant women to come into contact with crushed Finasteride tablets, since it can cause deformations in the fetus.
