How to Stop Hair Loss for Men & Women: The Most Effective Solutions

Video Transcript

"Hi I'm Amelia and I'm going to discuss how to stop hair loss in both men and women. Our manikin here is experiencing some hair loss right in her crown area which is actually quite common in both men and women. This type of hair loss is usually caused by the hormone DHT. The best way to stop that is either through propecia which is FDA approved, nioxin which is a topical shampoo and a lot of other shampoos that are in that whole nioxin category and that is just one that I am referencing. Also Rogaine or Minoxidil is actually a blood pressure medication and it was discovered that one of the side effects was hair growth so that is how they discovered that one. That will help with not always regrowing hair but it will prevent the loss or further loss of hair. Another area where you will see hair loss especially in women and women of ethnic descent is through this area here around the hair line and a lot of that is either through breakage from either relaxers or also from pulling that hair back really tight. Whenever your hair is wet you do not want to pull that hair back really really taunt because what that does is this hair when it is wet is weaker anyway and when you pull it back it is going to pull it, stretch it, and cause it to break. The more it breaks the more stress on that follicle then that hair line starts to recede and move its way back. So really the best ways to prevent hair loss are as you age start using a product that is going to help remove the DHT buildup on your scalp, feed those follicles with B vitamins, of course talk to your doctor before you start taking any vitamins and also whenever your hair is wet be gentle with it and don't yank on it or pull it back really tight across your head. Those three things should help with stopping and prevent hair loss."
