Hair has been described as a person's crowning glory and is often an integral part of someone's self image. Hair loss, then, is a very distressing condition that can lower an individual's self-esteem. Luckily, there are a number of hair solutions that can be used to prevent or reverse hair loss.

From Quick Guide: Hair Loss Advice

    Herbal

  1. You can formulate your own hair loss solution from coconut oil and garlic. To make this, pour 1½ cups of coconut oil into a pan. Crush four garlic cloves and six peppercorns. Add the crushed garlic and pepper to the coconut oil, and heat it to a temperature that is still cool enough for your skin. Strain this herbal mixture, and massage it into your scalp and hair once. Repeat this once a day for however long you need to.
  2. LLLT

  3. Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a hair loss solution that involves the use of a laser light. The laser light is beamed on the scalp, and it penetrates into the scalp tissue to increase blood flow, stimulate cellular metabolism and promote protein synthesis. This, in turn, helps to stop the progression of hair thinning or hair loss. This is a relatively expensive hair loss solution and is especially expensive across Europe.
  4. Revivogen

  5. This hair loss product is produced from natural ingredients and can be used by both men and women. It is the creation of Alex Khadavi, a board certified dermatologist. Revivogen helps to prevent or slow down the process by which hair thins while stimulating the growth of fuller, healthy hair. It works by helping to stop or limit the effects of the enzyme Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a leading cause of hair loss.
  6. Surgery

  7. Hair transplant surgery helps to resolve hair loss by means of hair transplants or plastic surgery. These surgeries are fairly complicated procedures and are conducted by board-certified hair restoration surgeons. It involves surgically transplanting sections of healthy, hair-bearing scalp from one area of the scalp that has dense hair-growth to another bald or balding area.
  8. Vasolidator Medications

  9. Medications such as Minoxidil, which goes by the trade name Rogaine, are formulated to slow down or stop hair loss while stimulating hair re-growth. This solution is advised for people who are in the early stages of hair loss because its efficacy reduces with the advancement of the hair loss. You should start taking vasolidator medications early in the onset of hair loss to arrest the situation before it gets out of hand.
