Got An Itchy Scalp & Thinning Hair? This Might Help!

The other day, I received similar emails from both a man and a woman who described having an itchy, tingling scalp with hair loss that seemed accelerated and was accompanied by thinning.

Both wanted to know what they could do about their scalp (which hopefully would also help the hair loss.) In truth, there are several reasons that these two things occur side by side or simultaneously.


 By far, the most common cause for this condition is an over-reaction to your scalp to the androgens that are on it.

Now, this may be a sudden onset of symptoms because either your hormones are changing, the androgens are increasing, or your sensitivity to the androgens is increasing.

All three of these things generally occur with age. And, these things tie into genetic or androgenic hair loss, meaning your standard run of the mill, patterned baldness or thinning.

Sometimes this is patterned (typically with more loss happening at the temples, crown, or top) or it can be more diffuse (especially in women.)


Treating this depends on how aggressive you want to be and how bad the thinning really is. Some people will only seek relief for the itching. Tea tree oil is good for this as are anti inflammatory shampoos.

If you want to address the thinning, you will need to address the sensitivity at the follicles. However with that said, you will want to try things gradually and you should be very careful about any treatment that can affect or change your hormones, as hormonal vulnerability might just be what caused this.

I often recommend starting with things that are placed on your scalp rather than going internally and taking things into your body.

Sometimes, for whatever reason, your follicles will go through a shedding or a sort of spring cleaning. This can occur, again, because of changing hormones, changing medications, illness, stress, and many other things.

Often, you will get shedding that will sort of run its course, and hopefully end after a few months. In the meantime though, since so many follicles are being shed out at one time, you can get a tight, itchy, or painful scalp while this is happening.

Now, sometimes, the thinning is caused as a result of the shedding, but sometimes miniaturization takes place. What this means is that your hair is growing back thinner and finer as the result of being affected by the androgens that I discussed above.

If your regrowth looks fine though, you're typically over the  hump and can just focus on reducing the inflammation of your scalp.



Dermatological Conditions Of The Scalp: Sometimes your scalp itches because it's having some reaction due to injury, allergic reactions, infections, or products that are injuring it.

This is typically something that your dermatologist can pinpoint with a sun lamp. Sometimes, you will have reactions on other parts of your body other than the scalp. You might see sores or bumps on the scalp too.

Ask yourself if you have changed products or regimens. Thinning with these conditions is somewhat rare, although I have heard of this happening.

Thanks again for listening to me run my mouth. I sure do hope this has given you the power to fight this problem without all of the hassles.

I wish you the best,

What I Think About Procerin

Just about everyone wants to know about the new product for treating baldness called Procerin. Well actually this stuff isn't new because I used it a few years back.

So . . .

What I'm going to do is tell you what I got from it and hopefully you can use my advice as a guide for making your own decision. Yep, I'm going to leave it all up to you to decide. 

It all started when I used this product about 5 years ago out of curiosity because I was into using something that was natural. I used Rogaine for a while but all it did was give me a headache and cause tons of other things to happen to me. 

So I stumbled upon Procerin because I noticed that it came in a two-part treatment. One part herbal pills and the other a solution. Well I just have to say that the herbal pills that come with it are excellent. Hands down this stuff is what every man, woman and child needs.

It has plenty of herbs such as saw palmetto, ginkgo biloba, ginseng and tons other ones essential for fighting hair loss.

But . . .

Here's what I don't like. The solution contains the exact same one that's in Rogaine . . .

MINOXIDIL! Yikes!

I highly advise you to stay away from this stuff if you want to regrow your hair and do it safely. It just isn't safe. In case you didn't know it, it used to serve as a blood vessel dilator for those with high blood pressure.

They felt like just because it could open up blood vessels it would be suitable for those who need more circulation in the scalp. 

So my advice? Stick with the herbal capsules and avoid the solution.

Hope this serves to provide you with a little bit of info that the product packaging want.

Best,

A New Movie & A New Remedy!


Just finished seeing that new movie The Twilight Saga: New Moon with my 14 year old nephew Allen. I promised to take him there and so despite my numerous attempts to ignore his begging calls, we headed to the show. Boy what a great movie that was!

Funny how fast movie tickets sell so quickly. Who would've imagined this movie would be such a hot ticket seller! Well this got me to thinking about how many new hair loss products are released on the market. In a way when you think about it, you can liken them to a new movie release.

You read the reviews, you even read testimonials from people who have given this new product a test run. Some people like it, others hate it. So usually you base your decision to purchase not just on logic, but on what Mr & Mrs. Smith (excuse the pun) has to say about it. And like box office sellers these products go flying off the shelves and sell like crazy.

Well you don't need to have every new hair loss treatment to really make a difference in your hair's growth. Just a simple remedy that you may not have heard about may be enough to get you on the road to a new you. And that's what I want to present to you today.

It's nothing close to being the "biggest hit" in Hollywood, but it may sure turn you into a fan. All you're going to need to make this work is egg yolk. That's it! Hope I didn't burst your bubble. Now here's what you need to do with the egg yolk in order to stimulate hair growth.

BEFORE you wash your hair, take the egg yolk and massage it into your scalp with your fingertips for approximately 45 minutes to an hour. Seems like a long time, but you gotta get this stuff deep into your scalp pores.

It actually relaxes you and you'll start to feel the tension ease away. After 45 minutes has passed, shampoo your hair like normal. You only need to do this three times a week to see results in as little as 30 days. This isn't some unique cure that no one has ever heard of before, but you'll be surprised to know that very few people even use it. Give it a try. Till later have a good day.

Best,

My Biggest Problem With Hair Loss Solved

Hello,

Christopher here! Wanted to take the time to give you a little motivation in your efforts to stop your hair loss and get that great head of hair back.

You see I once struggled much like what you're probably going through right now. It wasn't an easy road to get to where I'm at right now. Believe me, I'm your average guy much like you probably are. Nothing special about me.

I love to go fishing, enjoy swimming on weekends too alongside the time that I take to provide you with various tips I've discovered for natural hair growth.

But enough of the rambling . . .

One thing to keep in mind when you're using these natural remedies and various hair-growing methods is that you must not give up. Sure, you may do everything I tell you and even seek out some of your own methods you've researched and progress may go slow.

It might appear like your hair is just sitting there doing nothing. But trust me when I tell you this, your hair IS making changes. Think about how long it took for your hair to fall out. Did it all just start to thin at once? Or was it gradual? Chances are it was gradual, maybe over the span of a month or two or more.

So this means that the longer your hair has been falling out, the longer time it's going to take for it to recover. Just hang in there and you'll start to notice results taking place. It may be just a few "peach fuzz" hairs, or maybe you'll start noticing a slowing down of hairs falling out.

Either way it goes, every little bit counts.

I highly recommend this to help you out here:

It's quick, natural and a very easy way to regrow hair in just 10 minutes per day. Just what you need when you've been struggling and want to really make those changes happen fast.

Have a great rest of the day and we'll talk soon,


- Christopher
