I’m 21 years old, and for the past year my hair has been thinning out by my bang area. I am on medication for migraines/headaches, i’m not really sure if its from that or not. Is there any cure for hair thinning?
Stress is a big cause of hair loss. So if you are a person of bad anxiety that might be why. Or its possible that its your medicine. Maybe you should talk to your doctor.
There is an amazing vitamin called biotin. Take 5000 mcg a day of it and you cant over dose it is water soluable and if you have to much it comes out when you pee. this works well with making hair longer and thicker and making stronger nails.
2 Hurdles On Your Way To A Cure Hair loss :
1. Getting Back To Normal Is Still Not Normal
The biggest hurdle you will probably encounter is your own patience. You must recognize this as a journey toward better health and better hair. You will know it when you arrive at your destination, but there are plenty of windy roads on your way.
Even the healthiest of all women still has a constant flux of hormones and counteracting hormones throughout her body. For two weeks of every month a woman’s body surges with the feminine hormone estrogen, which is the most potent weapon against the male hormone DHT that causes hair loss in women.
2. Be Weary Of Outside Influences
Almost any psychiatrist will tell you that humans tend to surround themselves with other people who make them feel “safe.” More specifically, we surround ourselves with people who make us feel better about our own weaknesses either by being generally supportive or by having similar weaknesses themselves. While it may not be hair loss, chances are some of your friends have other obvious insecurities about their weight, skin, figure, or a similar issue.
Premature hair loss among women is most often genetic. However as women age and enter the postmenopausal years, thinning hair becomes more commonplace. Fortunately, several effective hair-replacement and growth stimulating options are available. Hair loss remedies range from drugs and surgery to transplants.
Hair Loss
Today’s woman certainly has more options available to her to mask the problem than did her mother’s generation. Hair extensions have become a popular and relatively inexpensive choice for many women who are unhappy with the lessening of their locks. Simple genetics is the most common cause of hair loss in both men and women. The few remaining cases are often the result of illness or diet or stress-related. Some medications prescribed to lower high blood pressure or treat heart problems or depression have side effects that may include hair loss.
Minoxidil
Only one drug that may promote hair growth is available for women. Minoxidil goes by the brand name Rogaine and is available without a prescription. Minoxidil is to be applied twice a day to dry hair and scalp for a period of not less than four months. Minoxidil is not as effective in older persons who have severe balding. In order to maintain or increase hair growth, use of minoxidil must be ongoing. It is normal to feel tired during the first few weeks of treatment while your body becomes accustomed to the lower blood pressure that Monoxidil causes.
Hair Restoration
Several hair replacement procedures to reverse permanent hair loss are available. They include micro-grafting and scalp reduction. Micro-grafting is an outpatient procedure in which the surgeon removes a disc-shaped portion of the hair-bearing scalp from the back of the head. The removed scalp is cut into several small segments with varying amounts of hair in each graft to attain a noticeable yet understated thickening of the hair. Scalp-reduction surgery is performed on the crown of the head. The surgeon removes a portion of the bald scalp that is pulled together and stitched. The process decreases the scope of the bald area to be covered with hair grafts. All types of hair restoration surgery will leave a thin scar at the suturing sit. Hair-transplant surgery can serve to conceal scarring.
The type of hair loss as well as the patient’s circumstances and desires determine which hair replacement procedures are most suitable. There are variety of factors to consider when determine the best avenue of hair replacement to pursue. It is best to consult with your dermatologist or surgeon to discuss the most viable option for your specific situation.
Hi Tiffany,
I recommend a healthy diet with sufficient proteins and vitamins.
Lots of water and juices will help. Apart from that topical application of onion juice is known to help hair regrowth.
Blend an onion and strain through muslin cloth. Apply and leave on for at least an hour, shampoo well. Once a week applications after a certain period of time will start showing good results.
