Hair loss treatments 

Aromatherapy as a treatment for hair loss is becoming increasingly popular, but the basis is not necessarily scientific. First, you can not use some hair removal products. Experts in aromatherapy use the oils obtained from bay, cedar wood, grapefruit, jojoba, lavender, lemon, rosemary, thyme and Roman chamomile. Users massage these compounds into the scalp and disperse them into the air with special dispersing units. The combined effect of absorption and inhalation apparently arrests hair loss. Some users even report renewed hair growth after using this method.

The orient has given us many natural hair loss remedies. They include combinations of honey, aloe, arnica, brahmi and mulberries, amongst others. Ayurveda, an ancient medical discipline from India, involves massages with and ingestion of certain herbal formulations. Obviously, these approaches are only of possible benefit if a professional practitioner is involved.

Dietary modification has often employed in addressing male and female pattern baldness. In the dietary approach to hair loss, the accent is on foods rich in minerals like silica, iron and calcium such as green vegetables. In the treatment of female hair loss, there is increased focus on protein and zinc supplementation.

After you have determined the reason behind your hair loss, you can work on a solution. If your hair thinning is attributed to hormonal causes, you may need hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in order to restore your thinning hair. There are also topical (minoxidil/ Rogaine) and oral (finasteride/ Propecia) medications that might help with hair loss. You may be an appropriate candidate for hair restoration surgery as well. If you would rather just cover up your thinning hair, you can find an array of hats, scarves and head wraps from which to choose. Also, talk to your hairstylist about the best haircut for thinning hair. Perhaps you should consider hair extensions -- they can add volume and texture to your hair to reduce the appearance of hair loss.

There are treatments available for this type of hair loss. The most common is Minoxidil; this is available over the counter and it slows down or stops hair loss and promotes hair regrowth. The reason of hair loss has large rang. The problem with this treatment is if discontinued, rapid reversion may occur. Another drug that can be used is Finasteride; this drug inhibits the growth of 5-alpha reductase but this can only be used by men because it could cause birth defects.
