Cure Hair Loss

Did you see some gray at the temples and panic with the thought, OMG! I’m getting old! Or that this is no time for me to go gray? Well really it is all just genetics, that determines what age you go gray. While some people may start graying as early as school, others don’t start till their 40s or 50s! The general or average age seems to be the mid thirties for racial groups such as Caucasian women.

Fact is both extremes are not unusual and also no indication that anything is wrong. There is some research to show that smokers may gray somewhat earlier because of depleted oxygen levels in the body’s tissues, and certain medical treatments may also have the effect of turning hair gray. Generally speaking worry and stress contribute to a person going gray and perhaps peroxide contributes somewhat, but really it is difficult to reverse it. Some natural ways to cure gray hair have been outlined elsewhere on this site. Follow the tips diligently for results.

Rogaine and Regaine are the names for the Minoxidil medication that is known to slow or stop hair loss and promote hair re-growth. It is available over the counter for treatment of androgenic alopecia, among other baldness treatments. This formulation is required to be applied directly to the hair (the medication also comes in oral form) and for maximum benefit it should be kept there for several hours.

The problem however is that measurable changes disappear within months after discontinuation of treatment. Side effects of application or oral Rogaine can include:

• Itchy scalp
• Dandruff
• In some cases it may increase hair loss to begin with. In fact hair loss is the most common side effect
• Oral dosage can cause swelling, rapid or irregular heartbeat, lightheadedness, cardiac lesions, and focal necrosis of the papillary muscle and subendocardial areas of the left ventricle
• Contact with styling products may be harmful or render the styling product ineffective.
