Hair Loss Products - Consider Side Effects, Time, And Investment

By John Farikani

Hair has been falling out ahead of schedule for eons. It's not even limited to the human race! Check out some old chimps or even an old lion and you'll obvious signs of aging including bald patches. Even ancient Egyptian pharaohs suffered from it, and nothing much has changed even into the 21st century. Hair loss products exist, but differ greatly in levels of success.

Some of us can blame it on our grandparents. Genetics is the number one cause of hair loss and something that's not easy to fight. Combined that with a bad diet low in vitamin B sources, and your hair could be falling out faster than you even want to admit. Too many people, however, wait too long to find some help and by the time they try, it's too late to make much of a difference.

If you think your hair is falling out faster than it should be, you're probably right. Some people deny the obvious thinking the problem will go away on its own. It won't. The only thing going away is your hair.

Head to see your regular doctor first before heading to a hair replacement clinic. He can run some simple tests to check for hormone and vitamin levels. Something as simple as too much testosterone can create a free radical type substance called HDT which actively seeks out hair follicles to shrink them and ultimately cause so much scar tissue, they can no longer grow hair.

A vitamin B deficiency can be equally devastating but easily dealt with. A few weeks with some pharmaceutical grade dosages and you could see improvement. Vitamin B is needed for basic cellular sustenance, and is a very important nutrient for your hair and follicles.

Any store shelf will provide you with an entire array of hair loss products -some good, some bad. Online products can be found with a click of a mouse. Many people swear that they have seen healthy hair growth within a reasonable period of time. Others complain about the cost and shattered dreams. Many of the drugs provided by a doctor even have pills as well as topical ointments, and these seem to offer a higher success rate, but the side effects can be quite extensive. Be certain you know the risks before popping those pills.

These products can be expensive and when it comes to any type of oral medication prescribed for hair loss, there are serious side effects that need to be noted such as sexual dysfunction, migraine headaches, chest pains, blood clots or even anaphylactic shock. Each person needs to decide how much they want to spend and what type of effort they want to endure in order to see what might be very disappointing results.
