Hairloss is something that really gets to people. It doesn’t matter if you’re 16 or 60 when you start losing your hair your self-esteem tends to go with it. To add insult to injury the hair that disappears from the top of your head tends to wind up growing other places on your body - your nose, your ears and your back for some quick examples. Hardly seems fair does it?

Panic is usually the first reaction when you realize that you either are or might be losing your hair. There’s so much importance put on how our hair looks that it scares you in a whole new way. What will people think? What will people say? Will it completely change how you look? And that’s just the first 5 minutes of dealing with hairloss - been there and done that folks. Many years ago now but I still remember all the feelings that came with it.

The good news is that never before in the history of mankind (and womankind) has there been a better selection of hairloss treatments available to you. Hairloss has always been big business but for a long, long time most of the solutions for treating hairloss were absolute rubbish. I’ve seen everything from electricity to a wide variety of “magic” potions being sold to men and women desperate to fix their hairloss problems. Did they work? How many bald people do you see on the street every day? That’s your answer right there.

Treating hairloss and baldness is now something that’s regulated properly so that companies have to be able to back up their claims with actual results - not just touched up fake photographs. On top of that medical science has come a long way too and those awful hair transplants you saw in the 70s and 80s are now a thing of the past. You don’t even need to go down the surgery route - some people are having success with treatments that you just rub into your scalp (Minoxidil) - or even better that just come in pill form (Propecia).

Hairloss is never a good thing but at least now you have a wide range of treatments you can use to combat your hairloss problems - and at least that’s good news.
