"How to Experience Natural Hair Growth"

Why Is The Hair Loss Black Book So Popular With Hair Loss Sufferers?

2011-02-07T22:37:00.001-05:00

100% Natural & Permanent Results

The success of the Hair Loss Black Book is only the beginning. Everyday more people are turning to the book for a solution. If you are looking for a reason behind this phenomenon, this is it.

Hair loss sufferers are finally given a valid, logical, and effective alternative to expensive hair treatments or risky pills. In a sense, they are liberated to cure themselves instead of relying on the hair loss industry.

While the principle itself is not a “secret”, the book revolves around the universally accepted root cause of most hair loss, the DHT hormone. The book begins by giving a complete biology lesson on DHT, how it should work and why it has gone wrong. Using a careful combination of fitness, nutrition, and hair follicle care, you learn to restore a synergetic state of health in your body which, in turn, stops hair loss and re-grows hair.

Of course, being new and not pushed by a celebrity expert may cause some hesitation. But, this is a real opportunity for a cure. If you examine the program, you will find it is comprised of many methods endorsed by experts and fellow hair loss sufferers.

The difference is others only promote one technique. It is not that simple. Hair loss is caused by complex internal malfunctions. It makes sense only treating one factor is not a solution. A fantastic feature of this book is it combines the many proven techniques in a complimentary manner. This unique combination elevates the book to a new level of success over rival products.

Who Is The Program Designed For?

The Hair Loss Black Book can greatly benefit several different groups. Essentially, there are two types of hair loss sufferers. There are those which would rather rely on a prescription or a tonic to cure their hair loss, and then assume it the task is impossible when those easy solutions do not work. On the other hand, there are those who understand the principle of improving “total health” to improve their hair.

This program is ideally suited for the latter group. As the book explains, there really is no quick fix for hair loss. If you have the patience to stick to the program, you will get results. There is a chapter of the book which helps you establish expectations. You will learn the brutal truth of how some hair follicles which died a long time ago cannot be revived. However, you will learn how to save the remaining hair and may see results in as little as 6 months but no longer than 2 years.

Surprisingly, the program also benefits some with no signs of hair loss. In your DHT biology lesson, you will learn that one factor for hair loss is an allergic reaction to DHT. Some people do not get this reaction and do not lose their hair, but they have other symptoms of “DHT Overload” such as acne, obesity, and infertility. This is not just a “hair loss” program but an “Anti-DHT” program, anyone with these problems will be cured.

What Are The Drawbacks?

First, it is extremely detailed. It is almost a collegiate course in biology. In fact, you may be overwhelmed by all of the information you learn. You may have to reread it a few times before you can really master the techniques.

Secondly, like most self-help books it lays out a very good structure and gives you excellent tips to maintain your results. However, in the end it is up to you to follow through. One of the bonuses includes free updates for life, but there will be no one overseeing your progress and making sure you stick to the program.

Although it specializes in fighting DHT to combat hair loss, the program’s careful balance of detoxification, fitness, and nutrition can help anyone stay healthy for life. However, this requires patience. If you need immediate results or you give up, this is not your path to success.

Third, you may feel $47 is a lot for a downloadable pdf file. However, the price includes the book and its four bonuses with no other purchases required. The only “hidden” costs are those involved with the life changes the program recommends such as healthier foods and a new fitness routine.

These “extras” are really replacements for costs which contributed to the problem. For example, the book will teach you how alcohol damages your liver’s ability to produce anti-DHT enzymes. Not spending money on alcohol provides for healthier nutrition. You may also be surprised to learn how some misspend on supposedly “healthy” remedies that are actually thwarting your progress.

The Breakdown

All in all, this program is as good as it gets. It delivers on its promises. If a 5 star program had no drawbacks, then this is at least 4.5 stars.

When you buy The Hair Loss Black Book, you are paying for the research. There is a sea of information out there about hair loss and a novice could easily drown looking for a cure. This book makes sense from the thousands of opinions, myths, facts, statistics, and other research out there. It is an organized, easily understood, multi-faceted program to restore normal hormone levels, cure hair loss, and actually re-grow hair.

You will also have free access to the program’s four bonuses. One bonus will reveal surprising facts about the OTC hair loss industry. Another bonus will teach you some style basics to help you feel more comfortable about your looks while you work toward your cure. A third bonus is especially for women suffering from PCOS, a cause for female DHT problems. The last bonus may be the most valuable because you will receive free email updates about hair loss discoveries for the rest of your life.

If you are tired of throwing away money on remedies that do not stop hair loss, this is the program for you. If you are finally ready to commit to total change, this is your opportunity for a cure. Check the Hair Loss Black Book out now for yourself.

3 Biggest Overlooked Hair Loss Minerals

2010-12-04T10:47:00.000-05:00

Hello,

Today I wanted to take the time to talk about three of the biggest minerals proven to help curb hair loss.

Even though these minerals work so well to help boost the growth of your hair, they are often overlooked. Getting these into your body consistently is a must. So let's take a quick look at each one shall we?

Chromium

Chromium prevent hyperglycemia as well as hypoglycemia. Both of these can lead to hair loss. In order to get the most benefit from chromium, you will need at least 120 mg of it per day.

Food sources: You can obtain this mineral from Brewer's yeast, liver, beef and whole wheat bread.

Iodine

One interesting thing about iodine is that it helps regulate the thyroid gland. If you know anything about hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, this condition most certainly affects hair growth.

Getting a daily dose of 150 mcg of iodine will effectively prevent dry hair and hair loss.

Food sources: If you want to get plenty of iodine, eat foods such as fish, seaweed, kelp and garlic.

Sulfur

Last but definitely not least, sulfur is one heck of a mineral for promoting healthy hair growth. It's one of the main components to your hair's structure. One to three grams of this is required daily for healthy hair growth function.

Food sources:

Eating foods like onions, garlic, eggs, asparagus, meat, fish and dairy products will provide you with the right amount of sulfur.

That concludes our examination of the three biggest overlooked hair growth minerals. Whatever you do, do NOT skip on these. They are sure to allow your hair to grow to its full potential.

Sincerely,

Christopher Litmon

Haircuts To Keep The Balding Man In Style

2010-11-13T21:24:00.000-05:00

Yes as you can see from the picture below, that's famous actor John Travolta sporting his new bald look. Do you think you would look as handsome as Mr. Travolta if you sport your head bald?

I can tell you right now . . .

I would look nothing like him. Most guys are afraid to cut all of their hair off. Really though you don't have to if you are experiencing a bit of thinning on your head.

One of my main reasons for making this post was that I've noticed many guys out there afraid to actually style their hair and cut it just because they were losing some of it. I believe every man must have a sense of style and show it despite how much hair he is losing.

Not to say that you shouldn't attempt to regrow hair at all. That in itself would be pointless and I wouldn't be here today helping you to achieve that goal. But there comes a time where you shouldn't let hair loss get in the way of feeling good about yourself. I was depressed for years when I started losing hair and often just covered up my head with a hat when I went out. Took me a long time to realize that even though my hair was falling out, I was doing something about it and I had every right to feel good about myself in the process.

So let's look at three different haircuts you can get to help you achieve a better look as you work towards your goal of regrowing hair.

Short Styles

Simply getting your hair cut down to a buzz look can alter your appearance for the better, especially when you're battling things like receding hairlines. I personally say go for it. I know of a few men who actually cut their hair down a bit with clippers and got many compliments from both men and women.

In-Between Styles

If you're just starting to notice your hair thinning, you might be a little intimidated when it comes to cutting your hair shorter. That's perfectly fine. This is an opportunity for you to create the illusion of a full head of hair. Former head stylist for NBC television's "The West Wing" Jeff Sacino stated that applying a lightweight gel and then blowing it dry using a round styling brush can help.

What many guys do wrong is attempt to grow their hair out long just to try and cover up their thinning. What happens is this long hair even when thinning, weighs down and creates parts that expose the scalp. The best advice is to talk to your stylist for tips on how to properly dry and style your hair for maximum fullness.

Shaved Look

John Travolta did it and while it might now appeal to you just yet, it could be a style you choose later. It's one of the easiest ways to deal with thinning hair even though a bold look.

Five Steps to Repairing Crown Area Hair Loss

2010-11-08T21:55:00.000-05:00

Okay, so it seems like more and more folks are dealing with this type of hair loss problem than ever before. I'm talking about the crown region of your scalp.

Is this something you're dealing with right now?

Fortunately you're in for a big change ahead because I have the cure for your problem.

Well I probably shouldn't call it a "cure", but you can bet your bottom dollar these tips are absolutely fantastic.

Not long ago I conducted a little survey of my own asking a few ordinary folks if they could change anything about their hair loss problem, what would it be?

Shocked me to pieces when about 70% all said regrow hair in their crown area.

So . . .

Let's try to tackle this shall we?

Step 1: Let's do some investigating. Time to be our own hair loss detectives and see if we can't crack the case. Determining the exact reason why hair is falling out in this area is a MUST.

Ask youself . . .

Have you experienced any physical trauma to your crown? Have you been combing or brushing your crown area too rough? Wrapping it? Is it getting too much exposure to heat? Is it moisturized?

Yes I know I sound like a nosey bum, but there are some things you just can't leave out. It's actually the determining factor that will turn things around for you.

Step 2: Time to diagnose. Having the right protein/moisture balance is very important. Conditioning the crown area is essential, plus keeping it moisturized regularly will serve to prevent excess drying of your crown which is responsible for breakage.

Step 3: Stimulate with massage. You've heard it a billion times yes but there's a reason for it. Scalp massage is the BEST medicine for restoring hair. If you can't spare 10 minutes to massaging your crown area then you're one sad case (no offense).

All it takes is a little essential oils such as thyme, peppermint, rosemary, and lavender. Sweet almond oil and jojoba are considered "carrier oils" that you can combine with the others for some even better effects.

WORD OF CAUTION: Mixing essential oils while beneficial can irritate your scalp. Play it safe.

Step 4: Don't allow direct heat. It will do nothing good for the crown region. Blow drying is a quick route to a dry head, but it also can be a quick route to a bald head. Make sure your crown area isn't subjected to a lot of heat.

Step 5: Take cover. Don't hide in a basement of course, rather keep your head covered while sleeping to seal in your hair's natural moisture. Is your pillowcase made of cotton? Get rid of it, as this definitely strips hair out fast.

Difference Between Male and Female Hair Loss

2010-11-02T10:44:00.000-04:00

I've often been asked, "what is the difference between male and female hair loss"? Well this is a question that I'm ready to answer because at one time even I asked the same exact question.

It seems like the poor guys are the ones who lose hair more so than the women. But in reality there are some women out there who are just as bad off as the men. I can recall a woman who had a very receding hairline. It was pretty embarrassing just to look at her as she passed by other people.

The main difference between male and female hair loss is in the way that the hair falls out. Men often experience thinning in one local area. For example Mr. X might lose hair in his crown region, but Mrs. X might have thin hair pretty much all over her head.

So the difference lies in where the thinning takes place. Women lose hair throughout their entire scalp on average, while men only lose hair in one specific spot.

Now don't shoot me down if you're a guy who has lost hair in more than one place on his scalp. This is just a typical difference between the two sexes. It doesn't mean that we can draw a definite conclusion.

This is just a little something that was on my mind and I know you probably have wondered about it yourself.

Talk to you soon,

Christopher Litmon

Will Those Bald Spots Ever Go Away?

2010-07-19T22:22:00.001-04:00

You see them every time you look into the mirror and you probably wonder if others see them as well. You've tried and tried to make them go away but it just seems hopeless.

You don't want to spend a fortune getting rid of them, but you do long for the day when they're gone.

Bald spots . . . can you really get rid of them?

You're not the only one affected by this type of hair loss. There are literally millions of other men and women experiencing the same thing right this minute. It's a form of hair loss called "alopecia areata". It's not the easiest thing to treat for most, and it doesn't have to be the hardest either.

Treating it takes a different approach than other forms of balding like a receding hairline.

Here are 3 things you DO NOT want to do:

Use over-the-counter hair loss treatments
Invest in expensive surgery or hair transplants
Wait on the problem to go away by itself

Now number three may seem like a no-brainer to you, but you would be surprised at how many people actually thought that this problem would eventually leave on its own. This is definitely not possible and is absolutely the worse thing you can do.

If you managed to grab my free report that talked about what I personally did to make my bald spots leave, then you know that things like blood circulation is highly important. One thing I didn't touch on too much were herbs.

We've all heard about saw palmetto probably a gazillion times and how it benefits male pattern baldness. Well there are a few other herbs that both men and women can take to truly jumpstart the regrowth of hairs in places where they've lost it.

In fact two of them I did a little research on and they are claimed to work just as well as the drug Propecia but without the side effects. What are they?

Nettle root and pygeum. You might want to head over to your local nutrition center and grab a couple of bottles. This is something I truly recommend but not without getting on a program that really shows you how to use herbs such as nettle root and pygeum.

Yes I used these herbs, yes I also made sure that my scalp received sufficient blood circulation, but what really allowed me to get on track was the Hair Again system developed by John Kelby.

If you were given $4,000 right now would you use that money to do further research on hair loss, even interviewing others to discover a method that works?

Most people wouldn't. John however actually invested thousands to do such a thing. Like you and me he got tired of being ripped off by big name hair loss companies and their useless products. At the same time he wanted something that could work naturally to help him regrow hair over his balding areas.

Side effects are very common these days and you can never be too careful. So all of his hard work led to the development of the Hair Again system. There are a ton of things about this that I really liked, but what struck me the most was the price and the effectiveness.

Anyone who has ever spent money on treatments like Rogaine and various shampoo products can afford it. Plus the Hair Again system is one of the highest-rated natural systems on the web for regrowing hair. So if you're tired of seeing your hair fall out, you can read my detailed review of this below.

Myth Busters About Hair Loss You Must Know About

2010-06-26T14:09:00.001-04:00

You have heard it before I've heard it before, there are a ton of myths about why we start to lose hair. Who and what to believe is often a big mystery for many people?

Let's take the time to consider a few of them and examine why you shouldn't believe everything that you hear about hair loss. Granted there are some things that matter and I will mention those to you, but for the most part sometimes you have to turn an ear.

Hair Loss From Wearing Caps: This has to be one of the silliest things that so many people believe to be true. Wearing a cap too much will not make your hair start falling out. Many think this is true because they don't want to suffocate their hair. By not allowing their hair to breath they feel that it will cause their hair to fall out.You have absolutely nothing to worry about. Wear your favorite cap as much as you want and you'll be fine.

Combing And Brushing Causes Baldness: This is another myth about hair loss that you shouldn't believe. You can brush and comb your hair as much as you like. However you do need to be careful when doing so. Avoid doing these two things while your hair is wet. Wet hair is more prone to breaking and you can do some major damage to it if you're not careful.

Shampooing Your Hair Can Make It Fall Out: We all shampoo our hair and this is just a part of good personal hygiene. There aren't any real worries in shampooing hair and you shouldn't feel that you will lose hair because of it.

I know what you're thinking . . .

"But Christopher everytime I shampoo I notice hair falling out in the shower?" These are hairs that you will normally lose eventually even if you didn't shampoo your hair. This is a result of your hair follicles going through the various growth stages. Of course you want to avoid hair loss at all costs, but you can't prevent those hairs from falling out in the shower. This is just going to happen.

Now those are just a few of the many lies and myths circulating the internet and the media about alopecia and what causes it. It's important that you truly know what is causing your hair to fall out so that you can effectively treat the problem. My advice is to go natural.

You don't have to use all of those expensive potions and solutions. Many of them will not even work for you honestly and at most you just could end up dealing with some type of side effect. Have you heard about the THR Natural Hair Growth System?

This is something that was invented by a guy named John Kelby who spent many years of his life battling thin hair until he stumbled upon some incredible methods to regrow it. His methods are nothing short of amazing and he has posted a unique video on his site showing how you can copy what he's done and get your hair back too. I tried it out and it works. I think this is something you need to see.

Do You Know Why Your Hair Is Becoming Thinner?

2010-06-24T21:08:00.001-04:00

I get asked all sorts of questions all the time from people on my email list about why their hair is thinning. Do you know why your hair is thinning? There are several causes of this that you just have to know about. Your main problem with hair loss could be right under your nose and you may not even know about it.

Well first I want to tell you about some of the not so obvious reasons thinning of the hair can occur. First of all many people get sick every now and then. Hey, we all do. This can cause your body to lose out on many of the nutrients that it needs in order to help promote healthy hair growth.

You don't even have to be sick very long and it can still have some major adverse effects on your hair. If you've undergone surgery within the past 30 days, this too is known to affect the way your hair grows. Undue stress is something that we all go through from time to time.

Have you ever heard of stress causing hair loss? It can happen. It's usually not the stress itself that leads to hair fall, rather it's how the various hormones in your body trigger other elements in the body that interrupt the hair growth cycle.

As a word of advice, definitely watch how you care for your hair. Avoid cornrows, tight braiding, pony tails or any other type of hairstyle that involves the twisting or pulling of your hair. This is HIGHLY DANGEROUS!

Are You Getting Enough Zinc & Protein For Your Hair?

2010-06-23T08:37:00.002-04:00

Hi there it's me here again and I wanted to make sure that you were doing something that most people losing hair never seem to do.

Are you getting enough zinc and protein into your diet? Well you might say yes to the protein since it is pretty easy to get this just from meats, nuts and so forth.
However it isn't that easy to get zinc unless you are taking a supplement that contains enough of it. You probably have noticed that many shampoo products contain zinc and protein, and this is a good thing for your hair.

Protein will help increase the size of your hair follicles and zinc will even help give your hair its natural color. So if you want to prevent losing hair or even going gray anytime soon, get plenty of zinc and protein.

These are just two of the many nutrients that I stress the importance of in my FREE 14-Page report you can download below. There are tons of things in it that many hair loss companies will probably never share with you in a million years.

3 Secret Supplements for Fighting Hair Loss You Must Know About

2010-06-21T20:38:00.001-04:00

You may know that getting the right supplements into your body is a major part of regrowing your hair. What probably didn't know is that there are three of them that will enable you to fight hair loss with ease. I actually didn't know about one of them even though I've been researching various natural products to treat hair loss for years. This supplement came as a shock to me and I think you'll highly benefit from what I've included below.

Gotu Kola

I ran across some really great information on Gotu Kola on a blog that covered many tips for regrowing hair naturally. It mentioned Gotu Kola as being one of the most effective supplements for hair regrowth. Gotu Kola helps to increase blood circulation throughout your entire body and that does include your scalp.

Inositol

Inositol is a B-vitamin that has been studied to actually boost hair growth. This has been the case in various laboratory animals. Scientists did a test on a few of these animals and found that those with a lack of inositol actually started to lose hair on their bodies. Those that were fed a healthy amount of this supplement had plenty of hair.

Silica

If you're not eating a diet that's rich in leafy green vegetables then by all means start doing so now. Silica is a mineral that's found in most leafy green veggies and it is proven to prevent hair loss. This is one supplement you shouldn't miss if you want to avoid the threat of losing your hair.

Herbs for Treating Male Hair Loss - Grow Hair The Safe Way

2010-06-21T20:03:00.000-04:00

Herbs have been used for a countless number of years by people all over the world. They are nature's unique healing ingredients that can help treat various ailments and certain medical conditions. There are even herbs for treating male hair loss that any man can take for quick improvements in the way their hair grows.

Just why should you actually consider taking these natural substances rather than spend your money on something like a hair transplant? It's obvious of course that hair transplants are much more expensive than the purchasing of a few key herbs. However using herbs will prove to work more in your favor because you will be prone to less side effects.

But what about their effectiveness to stop your hair from falling out and grow it back? Herbs such as saw palmetto have been used to help eliminate one of the most troublesome causes of male hair loss, dht. The dht hormone is sure to cause you to go bald fast if you do not control it.

Taking saw palmetto as part of a daily dietary supplement will help you to keep dht in your body at a safe level. You are sure to see more hair growth and less hair fall just from taking this herbal extract on a regular basis.

Getting enough blood flow to your roots so that your follicles can be fed the right nutrients is essential as well. Ginkgo biloba extract is just the perfect solution for taking care of this problem. Male hair loss conditions such as receding of the hairline often get started when the follicle roots lack sufficient nutrition.

Your blood carries these nutrients to them so without a steady flow, you can pretty much rest assure that you will experience significant hair loss. Take ginkgo biloba daily in the 325 mg dose and soon you'll be glad that you are using herbs to the full.

Never Forget The Importance Of Hair Loss Supplements for Hair Regrowth

2010-06-21T19:56:00.000-04:00

Okay it's true, most of us just don't eat right and on top of that we miss out on the right nutrition that our bodies need. When we do this it's not only our bodies that get affected, but it is our hair as well. Your hair cannot grow the way it should if your body is lacking the right nutrients.

It's a proven fact that has been studied time and time again. I can recall that I personally never ate right many years ago. In effect I noticed that my hair was falling out and I couldn't pinpoint exactly what was causing this problem to keep getting worse.

I knew it wasn't just something that had to do with my genetics. A blood test from my doctor revealed that I was not eating right and my body lacked vital nutrients. I'm here to tell you right now that there are some things you need to get plenty of in order to see those days of hair regrowth.

There are plenty of hair loss supplements out there but in order for them to work the way they should, they must contain herbs. Herbal supplements such as saw palmetto, nettle root, ginseng, ginkgo biloba, pumpkin seed and even green tea all help to combat hair loss efficiently.

Don't purchase a hair loss supplement if it doesn't contain such ingredients in it. What kinds of foods do you snack on? If you're into eating greasy potato chips my advice to you right now is to STOP! I know I know they taste really good and I find myself indulging in a bag every now and then, but DO NOT make this a regular habit. Your hair will not benefit from it at all. Try including foods like cashews, walnuts and almonds instead which are going to give your body plenty of magnesium. This mineral works wonders for your hair.

All That Stress Making You Go Bald?

2010-02-01T21:25:00.003-05:00

Have you ever been so stressed out that you just wanted to scream your head off and say whatever is on your mind?

I will be the first to tell you that I've felt that way numerous of times. Especially like yesterday when my computer kept crashing and I just bought the thing a week ago.

Sometimes we just can't win for losing. Ever wondered if all that stress you're dealing with is having an effect on the way your hair grows? Well you're in for a treat because I'm going to expose something to you that you may not have given much thought too. Or at least you may not have looked at it in such a way that I'm going to show you.

You see when you're feeling down and out or just plain tired from a hard day's work, your body triggers this stress by way of hormones called androgens in your body. This can really mess up your hair growth cycle, as these androgens disrupt normal functions.

Allow this to continue and you're only going to see more and more hair fall out rapidly. You need a solution for your problem but before we get into that, take a look at the two biggest causes for stress-related hair loss.

Poor Diet

Many times a stressed person leads a poor diet. They try to make up for it by eating something like a greasy cheeseburger or a big bowl of ice cream. You may think that you're cheering yourself up by doing this, but this kind of behavior prolongs your hair loss problems. It actually supports it to be honest, and I'm sure that you're not into promoting bald heads.

So pay very close attention to your eating habits, especially during periods of stress. And I almost forgot to mention this to you too. Some foods and various other things like caffeine can lead to highs and lows that make you depressed. Watch your intake of these as well.

Personal Habits

Think about two things that are a big problem in most countries, especially the United States, that people take part in to relieve stress.

Still guessing?

I'm talking about cigarette smoking and indulgence in alcohol. Nicotine is a drug and it is very habit forming. Studies show that it shortens your life span and even affects hair growth. Alcohol is the second big factor that can contribute to thinning hair.

It's okay to have a beer or some wine in moderation, but be careful of how often you decide to have a drink. Research shows that the average person loses 100 hairs a day. That's normal. However those who smoke and drink regularly show anywhere from 200 or more hairs lost every single day. That's way too much for your body to replace in a timely manner.

Hope I didn't sound too much like a big health enthusiast? I just wanted to make sure that you were aware of how stress-related hair loss gets started and how you can avoid it.

Now other than stress there are some big things you need to consider that can play an even greater role in your fight to stop hair loss and regrow what you've lost. They affect all of us, man, woman, child, old or young. If you want to start working on a unique plan to naturally fight hair loss, I highly recommend the Hair Loss Black Book. All 156 pages of this remarkable ebook is like nothing you've ever seen before. The information is truly timeless.

Oops, Bad Experience With Rogaine

2010-01-29T20:40:00.001-05:00

How's it going? First off I just want to say that no I didn't recently just give Rogaine a try, that was many years ago.

It was a hard lesson learned though, and I wish I knew what I'm about to tell you now back then.

Do you know the history of this stuff and how it got started? It all happened back in the early 90s. It was originally a blood pressure medication since it opens up blood vessels.

Well a few eager scientists got curious and wondered if it could regrow hair since after all, it does increase circulation, a key to more hair growth.

So they did their research and it did grow back hair in a few test subjects. Later it was FDA-approved for use as a hair loss treatment for men and later women. Some might call it the beginning of something remarkable. I call it a big disaster.

Here's why . . .

SIDE EFFECTS.

Headaches, muscle soreness, fatigue the list goes on and on. Then let's say that you're battling a receding hairline and want to get rid of it. Rogaine doesn't help. If you look on the instruction pamphlet inside it says only to apply to the vortex area for best results.

Save yourself a buck or two and utilize the easiest possible way to more hair. The natural way!

Who has 35 bucks to spend every month on something that doesn't work? That's over 420 dollars a year that just keeps building and building.

When I stumbled onto Dave Nelson's quick, natural method for regrowing hair, I just had to tell you about it. This highly acclaimed natural system for more hair reveals the key steps to getting more hair fast.

No monthly expenses needed. What personally touched me was how Dave went through much of what you and I have been through. He put up a risk on products like Rogaine time and time again. Then he found what really worked best for him and turned it into something that has helped myself and thousands of others get their hair back.

Want Hair? Get Exercise!

2010-01-27T11:35:00.002-05:00

Okay, what I'm going to show you isn't some state-of-the-art hair-growing method, but it does involve the growth of more hair for you. And that's what truly counts!

Whether you hit the gym for a workout or not is totally up to you. But here's something you might wanna know . . .

Exercise benefits hair growth by means of several mechanisms.

The two biggest types of exercises are cardiovascular exercise and strength training. One engages your heart rate allowing blood to flow, and the other builds muscle fibers.

You only need to focus on increasing blood flow so that means any activity such as cardio is going to do you a huge favor. You see your body has miles and miles of tiny, little blood vessels that are carrying nutrients through your blood to all areas of the body, including your hair follicles.

Every little hair follicle contains something called the "dermal papilla" that taps into the bloodstream like the prongs on an electrical plug that tap into electricity.

If you spend just 10 minutes doing jumping jacks or even taking a brisk walk, you'll widen your blood vessels. This will send more nutrients to your follicles not just doing that exercise, but for the long term as well if you stay on schedule.

2010-01-18T23:50:00.001-05:00

Thanks for heading over here to my blog to check out this great hair tonic recipe that I just had to tell you about. I feel like a grandma who is giving away her secret family recipe to the public.

It's okay though because you're like family to me and I really want you to have great success using this. I know you're going to love the results that you get from it. So let's get started into this because I don't want to waste anymore of your precious time.

Here are the ingredients you're going to need in order to use this 10,000 year old recipe:

Get 25 fl oz/750 ml of regular vodka (Don't worry you won't get drunk you're not drinking it).
Get 3 ounces of cayenne pepper (Totally needed to make this work)

Now here's the fun part so listen up. Mix the two together and leave the mixture to steep for 2 weeks (Shake daily to avoid the mixture from settling). Strain this mixture and then bottle it.

So now if you've followed the above correctly, you have in your hands a very powerful hair tonic that can really make your hair grow fast. All you have to do is spend about 2 minutes each morning rubbing this into your hair and scalp.

How to Effectively Use Olive Oil To Combat Hair Loss

2010-01-18T22:53:00.002-05:00

Do you know how you can use olive oil to regrow your hair like never before?

Just in case you don't, I'm going to reveal to you just how you can do that starting today and see incredible results within a week's time. Before I go into the details on how to make this happen, you need to know a little about olive oil and how it works so well.

Olive oil contains a ton of fatty acids. Your body converts these into triglyercides and then delivers them to parts of the body where they can be used such as in your hair follicles. Olive oil is also a potent natural antioxidant.

It will rid your scalp of bacteria that could lead to other problems such as dandruff. And just in case you didn't know it, dandruff can lead to hair loss. So you're going to find that the little method I have in store for you is proven to work and benefit your hair a lot.

Let's get started:

What you should do is take a tablespoonful of olive and place it onto your fingertips (not the palms of your hands). What you do now is rub your fingertips with the oil together rapidly to warm it up. Start along the hairline and work your way down to the back and sides of the scalp, massaging it in.

You can use more oil as needed as you work your way towards the back of your scalp if you need to. Work the olive oil from your roots to your tips. Go to sleep and the following morning wash it out with a mild shampoo.

Believe it or not, this is actually a unique natural remedy that has been used for a very long time by various ancient tribes. Many of these tribes till this day are still using such techniques to make their hair grow back much thicker and fuller.

A lot of people have no clue as to the power of using natural substances to regrow their hair. If you haven't heard about the THR Hair Again system, you'll find that this is unlike any other program for naturally increasing hair growth. It's definitely worth your time to do so.

Perfect Vitamins for Any Thinning Hair Problem

2010-01-18T19:34:00.001-05:00

What I wanted to show you today was the importance of getting specific key vitamins into your body to turn your thinning hair into thick, luscious locks fast.

Of course this can be a daunting task with trial and error. So I wanted to save you the hassles of trying this and that so that you can see results much faster.

The first vitamin you should know about is biotin. If I had a dollar for every dermatologist and hair specialist who recommended this, I would be the richest man on earth.

So why should you really take biotin? What can it do for you? Well biotin is important for releasing carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
It is also a major contributor to cell replication and growth. The more cells replicating in the scalp, the more hair you will grow. You can't forget to eat the right foods containing this great vitamin as well.

Here are some key foods containing biotin:

Green peas
Sunflower Seeds
Walnuts
Egg Yolk
Brewers Yeast
Brown Rice

So what are some other key vitamins that are sure to stop your hair from thinning? Consider the benefits of getting plenty of vitamin B3, B5, B6 and B12. They all contribute to your hair's density and B12 helps you maintain good hair color.

Here's one biggy to note if you have type A blood. Most people with this blood type have a hard time absorbing vitamin B as well as biotin in their bodies. If this is the case with you, try getting these vitamins in higher doses to speed up your results.

Why Natural Hair Loss Shampoos Are Worth Your Time

2009-12-12T17:26:00.000-05:00

I created this post on my blog to help you understand how natural hair loss shampoos can really give you some incredible benefits in fighting hair loss. Read this post in it's entirety and by the end you'll understand why you need natural hair loss shampoo in your life:

The leading cause of hair loss a chemical called di-hydrotestosterone (DHT). This chemical is derived from testosterone via a 5-alpha-reductase enzyme. Only recently has DHT come in focus as a way to stop early baldness and developments from drug companies has led to finasteride known as the blockbuster prescription drug Propecia. New technology and extraction techniques and breakthrough research studies have allowed for a new approach to stopping DHT and androgenic alopecia.

DHT shampoos are developed specifically to address alopecia & thinning by naturally blocking DHT. The patent pending combination of natural and botanical extracts have been shown to increase circulation, topical nutrition, and block DHT conversion.

DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is created by the conversion of 5 alpha reductase enzymes from testosterone. Dihydrotestosterone restricts blood flow & nutrition delivery to the hair follicles, which can lead to atrophy and reduced hair density, leading to thinner hair, increased hair shedding, or male pattern baldness.

DHT Shampoos can provide a quantity of specific benefits for those losing their hair or who are experiencing balding or pre-mature loss.

* Blocks & neutralizes testosterone conversion

* Stimulates growth & follicle development

* Regulates over-active sebaceous glands (oils)

* Slows, stops, or reverses balding, thinning, shedding

Temporary alopecia, "Diffuse", results from several factors. While heredity is at the top of the list, stress, medication, & chemical treatments & harsh hair products can slow hair growth & restrict circulation. Poor scalp circulation reduces nutrition levels that promote & maintain healthy growth. Additionally, excessive oil, dirt, & product build-up can clog follicle pores harboring infection, reducing follicle respiration, & accelerating scalp & hair problems - scalp psoriasis, alopecia, & dermatitis.

DHT Shampoos typically include anti-oxidant enriched bioflavanoids for regulating & controlling sebum (scalp oil), DHT. Excessive sebum can trap bacteria leading to shedding, hair fall & alopecia (loss).

Definitely consider what natural DHT shampoos can do for you in your efforts to get rid of thinning hair fast. Thanks for taking the time to read this post on my blog.

Much success & I will talk soon,

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

2009-11-29T22:13:00.001-05:00

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

2009-11-25T13:41:00.003-05:00

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!

2009-11-23T22:44:00.001-05:00

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

2009-11-16T00:09:00.002-05:00

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:

=> http://www.hair-loss-secret.com/10minutemethod.html

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

Biotin Is A Key to Eliminating Hair Loss When Taken Daily

2009-10-23T11:36:00.000-04:00

You've probably heard about the vitamin biotin before. It has been heralded lately as a great tool for eliminating hair loss for those who are deficient of it. But many people just do not understand how biotin can allow your hair to grow back.

Here's how it works. Biotin is a B vitamin that works well to benefit new growth of hair as well as healthy skin and nail rejuvenation. Most people don't get enough of this vitamin in their diet which usually leads to significant hair loss down the road.

There are various supplements you can find in your local drug store or pharmacy that can give you a good daily amount of it. But if you want you can also include certain foods into your diet that contain biotin. They are soybeans, walnuts, sunflower seeds, and brown rice.

Even egg yolks contain biotin in them. One thing to keep in mind though about biotin is that it binds quite easily to proteins, making it almost totally unavailable in your body. This is what causes you to lack this in your body and experience hair loss.

Definitely stay away from raw eggs, protein powers or those protein bars out there. They will make it very hard for your body to absorb the right amounts of biotin. Even those with type A blood don't have the ability to fully absorb B vitamins.

So while biotin is a great tool for hair loss and regrowing your hair, there are critical things you need to know about it if you are to increase hair growth effectively.

Hair Loss Medications & Their Natural Substitutes

2009-09-28T14:29:00.002-04:00

At the moment, there are only two medicinal treatments that have been approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) in the US for treating hair loss - topical minoxidil (trade name Rogaine) and oral finasteride (Propecia).

Topical minoxidil is suitable for both sexes, whereas finasteride can only be prescribed to male patients. Minoxidil is a vasodilator, originally used to treat high blood pressure, which was later found to stimulate hair growth when applied topically to the scalp.

Finasteride is an antiandrogen that was first used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as prostate enlargement. It acts by inhibiting conversion of the male hormone testosterone to the follicle-harming dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

The discovery of finasteride's positive effects on hair growth led to finding the true cause of hereditary baldness, which is the harmful attacks of DHT on our hair follicles. Since making this discovery, a quest for other alternative DHT blockers has begun, especially amongst antiandrogen drugs and herbs that have, in the past, been used to treat urinary problems.

Dutasteride (trade name Avodart) is an antiandrogen drug similar to finasteride in its chemical structure and mode of action and has been studied extensively for treating hair loss.

It has recently completed phase III clinical testing for efficacy and safety in the treatment of male pattern baldness and the study results are pending. Like finasteride it is also used for treating BPH.

Dutasteride is believed by many to be a more powerful hair loss drug than finasteride but also with more severe side effects.

Flutamide (trade name Eulexin) is a very strong antiandrogen used to treat prostate cancer. It works by binding to the androgen receptors and thus competing with DHT. Oral use of flutamide can cause serious side effects but it is believed that topical applications might have less adverse side effects and could be, in the future, used to treat hereditary hair loss. More research is needed to verify such claims.

Spironolactone (trade name Aldactone) is another antiandrogen that works by binding to androgen receptors, competing with DHT.

It is used in women to treat acne, hair loss and excess body hair and although there are some generic topical applications for the treatment of male pattern baldness which contain spironolactone, it has never been approved to treat hair loss in men and should be avoided.

For women, spironolactone can be considered as a reasonable alternative to the men’s best hair-loss pill, finasteride, which cannot be used in women.

As has been mentioned earlier, following the discovery of DHT attacks on hair follicles being the true cause of hereditary baldness, herbalists started looking for possible natural alternatives to finasteride among plants that have been traditionally used to treat urinary problems and, more specifically, enlarged prostates.

Saw palmetto has been used for decades to treat prostate enlargement and it is one of the few plants used in natural remedies that have been subjected to some sort of scientific research in regards to their potential for treating BPH.

Its supporters assume that it works by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone into prostate and follicle-harming DHT but no study has yet confirmed this assumption.

No clinical research has ever been conducted on saw palmetto's effects on hair loss. Despite that, saw palmetto is widely used by thousands of hair loss sufferers around the world as a safe natural alternative to finasteride.

Extract from the bark of the evergreen tree pygeum africanum is another popular herbal ingredient found in natural hair-loss treatments and many herbalists believe it is more potent in treating hair loss than saw palmetto.

Its rise to fame also comes from the general assumption that this plant, thought to be beneficial for treating prostate enlargement, must be also effective in treating hair loss. Pygeum africanum has been less well studied than saw palmetto and it has never been used in any clinical hair-loss study.

The third most popular herbal ingredient used in natural hair-loss cures is nettle root extract. This herbal drug is derived from the root of the stinging nettle, a popular healing plant found in temperate and subtropical zones of the northern hemisphere.

Its use in natural hair-loss remedies also stems from the fact that it is supposed to help shrink enlarged prostates and is thus believed to inhibit the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Like the two aforementioned herbal extracts, nettle has never been used in any clinical hair-loss study.

This list of hair-loss drugs and herbal extracts that are believed to mimic the actions of finasteride, the only approved pill for hair loss, is not exhaustive. There are many other ingredients, mostly of natural origin, that claim the ability to block DHT and thus reverse hair loss.

However, no clinical proof exists that any herb contained in the natural remedies promotes new hair growth. Whether you decide to try a commercial herbal remedy or just one or two herbs on their own, keep in mind that, besides there being no guarantee of their effectiveness, no daily dosage has been established and side effects might occur, despite the general belief that herbal hair-loss remedies are safe and free of them.

Will You Go Bald? - Futuristic Test Reveals Answer

2009-09-26T21:02:00.001-04:00

It's typical for the average person to lose about 100 hairs from their head every day. What if you could find out if you were going to go bald, before visible hair loss started?

A new D-N-A test is giving those who want it, the power to see what their future holds.

Dr. Alan Bauman, MD is a Board-Certified Hair Restoration Physician in Boca Raton, Florida. He says the new test is a major breakthrough.

"This is exciting because it's the first lab test for hair loss."

And he says it's very simple. It starts with a saliva swab. The sample is then taken back to the lab where the D-N-A is analyzed. Researchers look for a genetic variation on the x-chromosome that's linked to hair loss.

Tom Mastanduono decided to have the test along with his teenage son.

"There's something psychological about having your hair. It's not totally getting old."

It turns out his test results showed he is low risk for hair loss. Low-risk means you have an 80-percent chance of holding onto your hair by age 60. High risk means there's a 60-percent chance of severe hair loss by 40. Tom's 15-year-old son Eric wasn't so lucky with his results.

"I can see here that I'm high risk. It's a bit shocking to find out at such a young age."

100 million Americans have hair loss -- about 60-million are men and 40-million are women. Doctor Bauman says the gene test puts the power of prevention in the patient's hands.

"This just gives another piece of information and then you decide with your doctor what you want to do."

Drugs such as Finasteride and Minoxidil can help slow baldness and promote hair growth.

Doctor bauman says the test -- which is available for men and women -- costs less than two-hundred dollars and should be done through a board-certified hair restoration specialist. The results take two to four weeks.

Tom is low risk, but will keep getting hair preservation therapy. And high-risk Eric won't seek preventive treatment, yet.

"I don't really care, like, right now. It's not of that much importance, because I have a full head of hair and it doesn't really matter that much."

But Eric admits his opinions on his appearance may change in the future.

Homeopathic Techniques for Regrowing Hair

2009-09-26T20:45:00.005-04:00

Did you know there are physical exercises that you can do to naturally speed up hair growth? It's true, perform these exercises at your leisure and you'll notice a speed increase in your hair's growth.

2. Massage your neck, good hair health is also related to having a comfortable neck. A healthy neck gives ways to give more blood to your scalp, instead of slowing down blood flow, this helps your hair grow as well.

3. Back stretch, grab your arms behind your back, slightly larger than shoulder width apart, then bend down. This exercises helps move blood all over your body. This also benefits you when you're sick, since it promotes natural healing of the body and speeds up blood flow.

4. Sleep without a pillow, studies show that when you sleep without a pillow, you wake up more energized. Your body is also fully horizontal, increasing blood flow and actually increases hair growth and health.

Hair Transplants - Do You Need to Invest In One?

2009-09-23T19:34:00.001-04:00

By now you've heard about hair transplants and all of the hype of how these hair loss treatments can really turn you from looking like Mr. Clean, to a Brad Pitt type hairdo in just a matter of months. Science seems to be really advancing in this area.

Maybe you have wondered about getting this type of hair surgery performed for yourself in order to make those amazing transformations take place. You should really give it some thought and here's why. Hair transplants DO NOT work for everyone.

It's a fact that these work well for some, but fail for the majority. Besides that you have to follow up with your surgeon about every three to six months to maintain your hair growth process. This means more money and more time spent.

It's critical to know too that if you have very little amounts of hair on the sides and back of your scalp, you may be in for a rude awakening. Many find that they just aren't fit for these types of treatments because of this. You see hair is usually taken from the sides and back and used elsewhere on the scalp during this procedure.

By taking a natural step towards fighting hair loss, you may find that you achieve some remarkable benefits that outweigh anything else you've ever tried. Sounds like a fairy tale but it's being done by many people everyday.

While so many so-called "professionals" claim hair loss to be a major cause due to genetics, it's often a result of such things as the various shampoo products you use, how often you shampoo, and even your own diet. Definitely educate yourself before taking those big risks to improve your looks.

Conventional Treatments for Fighting Hair Loss

2009-09-17T08:56:00.001-04:00

Male pattern baldness, also called alopecia, is characterized by hair receding from the lateral sides of the forehead, known as a receding hairline; an additional bald patch may develop on top. It's much easier to prevent the falling out of healthy hairs than to regrow hair in follicles that are already dormant. Baldness is simply the state of lacking hair where it usually grows, especially on the head.

Many women notice hair loss about three months after they've had a baby; during pregnancy, high levels of certain hormones cause the body to keep hair that would normally fall out and when the hormones return to pre-pregnancy levels that hair falls out and the normal cycle of growth and loss starts up again. If the thyroid gland is overactive or underactive, hair may fall out; treating thyroid disease will help remedy this. Poor digestion, parasites and nutrient deficiencies such as iron or biotin deficiency shouldn't be overlooked as possible causes.

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder also known as "spot baldness" that can result in hair loss ranging from just one area to every hair on the entire body. If a medicine is causing your hair loss, your doctor may be able to prescribe a different medicine or you may find you really don't need the medicine at all. About 3 or 4 months after an illness or a major surgery, you can suddenly temporarily lose a large amount of hair; this hair loss is related to the stress of the illness.

Hair loss may occur as part of an underlying disease, such as lupus or diabetes. In the past it was believed that baldness was inherited from a person's maternal grandfather; while there's some basis for this belief, both parents contribute to their offspring's likelihood of hair loss. Tumors and skin growths can also induce localized baldness.

There are prescription drugs, herbal remedies and topical applications for hair loss. Go a more natural way with treatment if possible; taking hair loss drugs require many months of exposure to chemicals. There are natural home remedies and many recipes for making mixtures to apply topically to the scalp.

Please be aware there are side effects and serious side effects sometimes with the drugs that are commonly used for hair loss. Immunosuppressants applied to the scalp have been shown to temporarily reverse alopecia areata, though the side effects of some of these drugs make this therapy questionable. Stress reduction can be helpful in slowing hair loss.

Minoxidil is a drug that's used daily to prevent hair loss but may create heart problems; the hair it grows is very fine, only on the top of the head and may fall out again soon after the drug is stopped. Minoxidil is a very expensive drug, costing about one hundred dollars per month for daily treatment. Propecia is available with a prescription; comes in pill form, is only for men and may take up to six months before you can tell if it is working.

Onion juice and honey remedy for hair loss: prepare a hair-growing elixir by combining 1/4 cup of onion juice with one tablespoon of honey; massage the scalp with the mixture every day. Massage the scalp nightly with an oil mixture made of one part rosemary oil and two parts almond oil. Asian remedy for hair loss - rub sesame oil on your scalp every night, cover with a cap or old towel; in the morning wash with an herbal shampoo, rinse with a solution of one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in one quart of water.

Olive oil and rosemary remedy for hair loss - use equal amounts of olive oil and oil of rosemary; combine them in a bottle, shake vigorously, massage into the scalp, put on a cap and shampoo in the morning. Garlic oil remedy for hair loss - at bedtime, puncture a couple of garlic pearles, squirt the oil on the scalp, massage, cover with a cap, shampoo and rinse in the morning. Try using double-strength herbal sage tea as a hair rinse or apply to scalp every day as a tonic.

Rub vitamin E oil into the scalp nightly. Try scalp massage every day. Polygonum Multiflorum is a traditional Chinese cure for hair loss; whether the plant itself is useful, the general safety and quality control of herbs imported from China can be questionable.

Circulation to the scalp is important. One patient reported that he used coconut oil on his hair and scalp for a year and during that time his hair became thicker and he hade more of it on the top of his head where he had been receding a bit; good as a hair gel too. Apple cider vinegar used as a hair rinse may stimulate hair growth.

Remember that regrowing hair is a slow process, so don't look for results overnight for any remedy or treatment you try. Remember that any drugs you take for hair loss will be a long term commitment; consider the risks to your health before doing this. Keep in mind that hair loss should be continually treated, preferably natural however, even after it stops.

What's The Deal With Biotin & Hair Growth?

2009-09-15T08:54:00.000-04:00

People are now taking biotin for hair loss in considerable number as so much as been said about this vitamin, but does it really work and if so how does it work? Well biotin is not really a hair loss treatment in itself but it is essential for healthy hair. The reason that on its own it is not a treatment is because it does not target DHT, testosterone or 5 alpha reductase, which are the key ingredients that make up genetic pattern baldness. But what it does do is help in healthy hair growth, and it also promotes healthy nail and skin growth too.

Biotin works by metabolizing fatty acids which are essential to hair growth, and it is even more potent when combined with B vitamins which metabolize protein and get more oxygen into the blood stream, which again is important for hair growth. In fact if someone is deficient in both biotin (which is vitamin B7) and also the other B vitamins then they may have no eyelashes or eyebrows either.

You can source biotin from various foods including kidney, beef and cheese but the quantities you need to make a difference would mean you eating a lot of these foods so you are better off taking a supplement. There are no known negative side effects of this vitamin, unless that is you are deficient in it then of course you will experience hair loss. If you have male or female pattern baldness then certainly take biotin and B vitamins to encourage healthy hair growth, but in addition to that you should also look at the following to combat the hormones and enzymes that cause balding.

Nettle - This helps to reduce the amount of free testosterone in the blood.

Saw Palmetto - This helps to inhibit 5 alpha reductase which creates DHT

Zinc - This mineral also helps to reduce 5 alpha reductase and is particularly potent when used with B vitamins.

Biotin can help with hair loss but only really if the person is deficient in it in the first place otherwise take it to promote healthy hair skin and nails. However if suffering from genetic hair loss taken with the other vitamins minerals and herbs mentioned biotin could have a positive effect in preventing hair loss.

Link Between Vitamin Deficiency & Hair Loss

2009-08-28T10:33:00.001-04:00

Millions and millions of people world wide suffer from partial or complete hair loss. There exist varied reasons of this agonizing problem. So it is very difficult for dermatologists to ascertain exact reason of hair loss.

However if the loss of hair strikes after usage of certain medications, it could be easily adjudged as a side effect of medication. But many a times the underlying reasons for hair loss remain unidentified. And one such hair loss is deficiency related hair loss. Malnutrition or deficiency of nutrients and vitamins often paves the way for hair fall. So you must check your sharp hair fall against these deficiencies.

Hair follicles require certain vitamins to carry on their constant function of regeneration and growth. If follicles remain deprived of these vitamins they won't be able to carry out their normal functioning and may result in hair loss.

Most often due to poor dietary habits or disturbed metabolism folks happen to be deficient with these vitamins. So a change in dietary habits or food intake is necessary to ensure enough intake of necessary vitamins for hair in order to prevent hair loss.

Vitamin A, E and B are of special significance in keeping the healthy hair.

Vitamin A keeps hair moist by helping them to secrete sebum in scalp as per requirement. This sebum keeps hairs away from dryness. This dryness of hair happens to be first step towards hair fall. So there must not be deficiency of this vital vitamin that also happens to be an anti oxidant.

Vitamin E performs the vital function of increasing level of blood circulation towards scalp and also helps follicle cells take enough oxygen. This result in enhanced ability of follicles to regenerate and grow hair. And the deficiency would adversely affect follicular function.

And four different types of vitamin B also cast adverse effect on hair condition if present in less than needed level. Biotin is a complex vitamin B that effectively curbs hair loss and contribute greatly in keeping hairs firm on scalp. Milk and egg yolk are major sources to cover up this deficiency. Para Amino Benzoic Acid is another B complex that is of equal significance for hair nourishment. Vitamin B6 and Inositol are other two B vitamins that are necessary for healthy hair.

If you are facing deficiency of these vitamins you should incorporate food items in your diet to ensure sufficient intake of these vitamins. It would lessen possibility of hair loss.

6 Foods That Made My Hair Grow Fast!

2009-08-19T21:02:00.005-04:00

I made this post on my blog to tell you about 6 foods that actually made my hair grow faster. Now you've probably read a few things about faster hair growth. You may have heard that it's impossible to speed up hair growth.

Well now that I gave these 6 foods a test run over a period of three months, I totally disagree with anyone who says this. You can make your hair grow faster. Here's the scoop on these foods.

They are beef, eggs, bacon, salmon, cottage cheese, and brown rice. I'm going to just say that if you're on a diet, don't skimp your diet. Just eat these foods in moderation because they work well for your hair.

Beef, eggs, bacon, and salmon are high in protein and allow the hair to grow thicker. I'm willing to assume that this is what transformed some of my thin hairs to thicker hairs.

Cottage cheese is high in calcium, which will also allow your hair to become much stronger than it is. Brown rice is high in carbs (the good, healthy carbs that is).

Much success to you,

Christopher

Blow Drying Your Hair Away??

2009-08-19T20:48:00.005-04:00

Do you blow dry your hair . . .

or do you allow it to dry naturally? It's quite something to think about. Many people don't but you should because it can affect the health of your hair.

Most blow dryers come with various settings where you can raise and lower the temperature. But this isn't an excuse. You should AVOID drying your hair this way.

It leads to breakage of your hair as well as split ends. Now that you know this, you need an effective way of drying your hair in order to prevent losing it right?

Here's your answer . . .

Towel dry using a patting and dabbing technique. Never rub your head when towel drying. It upsets your hair's roots.

Yes a blow dryer is a convenient commodity. But what do you prefer . . .

Longer drying time and more hair. Or faster drying time and less hair. Just something to think about.

Sometimes more hair growth is just a matter of getting into the habit of doing things differently. And it doesn't have to take much of your time just like the blow drying tip that you just read about. Most of us don't have a lot of time, yet we must do what we can to regrow our hair.

Hair Thickening Trick For Increased Hair Density

2009-08-12T09:06:00.002-04:00

I wanted to take the time to tell you about a trick I discovered that can give your hair more body and fullness. If you've been tackling thin hair for a while and definitely want a coverup while you work to increase hair density, this is for you.

You may or may not have heard of this as it's not really known to many. You're going to need one simple household ingredient and that is going to be baking soda. Take about 8 tablespoonsful of it and simply add it to your current bottle of shampoo.

Shake your shampoo bottle up to evenly mix this into it, then shampoo your hair like you normally do. You'll be quite surprised like myself when you see how it works to actively thicken your hair.

This is only one simple trick you can use to increase the density of your hair. There are plenty more found right inside a recipe that has helped many overcome baldness. Read about it here.

Natural Remedy Can Reverse Gray Hair?

2009-08-05T19:04:00.000-04:00

There is no scientific evidence that any diet, herb, supplement, or product can reduce or reverse gray hair, however, there are some underlying conditions that may result in premature gray and some ancient approaches you might be interested in.

It might help to first understand why we get gray hair. Hair color is produced by tiny hair pigment cells within our hair follicles called melanocytes. As we age, the activity of these melanocytes gradually declines until they stop making pigment. New hairs grown in without pigment, resulting in gray hair.

Each one of us has a genetically determined time when we will get gray hair. Although nothing can stop hair from turning gray, there are some conditions that can cause hair to gray earlier or more quickly than normal.

•Thyroid disorders. Conditions such as Grave's disease, Hashimoto's disease, hyperthyroidism, and hypothyroidism have been linked with premature gray hair.

•Vitamin B12 deficiency anemia. It can be due to a diet low in vitamin B12, which is found mainly in meat, eggs, and milk. It can also occur if the stomach can't absorb vitamin B12, due to surgery involving the stomach or small intestine (such as gastric bypass surgery), diseases that affect the small intestine, such as Crohn's disease, celiac disease, fish tapeworms, or small intestine bacterial overgrowth, or a lack of protein called intrinsic factor due to an autoimmune reaction or a genetic defect.

•Vitiligo. A condition in which your skin loses melanocytes, resulting in very light patches of skin and possibly premature gray hair.

•Early menopause

•Smoking. Cigarette smoking has been linked to premature gray hair.
Addressing these underlying conditions, in some cases, may help to prevent hair from going premature gray.

In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Ayurveda, the traditional medicine of India, premature gray hair reflects an underlying disturbance.

Hair, according to TCM, reflects the quality of blood and the strength of the kidneys. The kidneys and blood have a broader role in TCM than they do in Western physiology.

Foods that are thought to strengthen the blood and kidneys are:
•Hijiki seaweed

•Blackstrap molasses

•Black sesame seeds

•Nettles

•Wheat grass

•Chlorophyll
Keep in mind though that consuming excessive amounts of these foods is not recommended. For example, excessive amounts of iodine (from seaweed) may increase the risk of developing thyroid problems, which itself is a cause of premature gray hair.

Foods to avoid, according to TCM, are excessive meat, dairy, and salt

Many commercial products that claim to restore hair's natural color contain herbs that are used in TCM to strengthen the kidneys and blood. The most popular is a herb called He Shou Wu, also called Polygonum multiflorum or Fo-Ti.

The name He Shou Wu means "black-haired Mr. He" in Chinese. This name refers to a legend of an older villager named Mr. He who took this herb and restored his black hair, youthful appearance and vitality.

He Shou Wu isn't right for everyone with grey hair, say TCM practitioners, which is why a consultation is recommended. If used improperly, it is thought to lead to emotional ailments such as anger or depression. For more information about He Shou Wu, read the He Shou Wu / Fo-Ti Fact Sheet.

In ayurveda, hair is associated with an imbalance in the pitta constitutional type. An imbalance in the vata constitutional type, aggravated by stress, is also associated with premature greying.

5 Actions Plans For More Hair Now

2009-08-04T22:04:00.003-04:00

Regardless of if you are a man who is losing his hair or a woman who's hair is thinning, chances are you want to find thinning hair remedies that work.

You do not need to spend thousands of dollars. You just need a few things to stop losing hair. You need to know what to take, what to avoid and what products work.It's that simple.

Like anything else though, without a plan and or a solution you will get frustrated and jump from product to product. Here is the plan.

1. If you bleach your hair or dye it stop now. It can and does cause much damage. Especially if it is done by inexperienced staff in a hair salon.

2. Use a shampoo that is not harsh and does not contain ingredients that will damage your scalp. Can you imagine using a shampoo that is washing your hair away? How do you find the right shampoo. Find one that is meant for hair loss.

3. Reduce stress as this a big cause of hair loss in men and women. Stress induced hair loss is reversible just by cutting out stress and is an important part of the equation for any thinning hair remedies. Imagine how you would feel, spending thousands of dollars on treatment, only to find your hair loss was stress induced and you could have stopped it dead in its tracks.

4. Smoking causes hair loss. This is a fact. It restricts blood flow everywhere, including your scalp and follicles and causes premature hair loss. It's the only form of hair loss I know of where people are paying to lose their hair. Do you want to gamble with your hair by playing Russian roulette with your follicles?

5. If you are not on a healthy diet change now. Hair is 95% Protein. By eating a bad diet your starving your hair of the food it needs to grow. Picture yourself spending money on hair loss remedies only to undo it all by not feeding your hair.

Reasons Many Fail At Fighting Hair Loss (Part 2)

2009-07-29T22:56:00.007-04:00

In part one of this article, we discussed how a lot of hair loss sufferers lose the fight against baldness because they lack knowing exactly what's causing their hair to fall out. Well there are actually several factors behind hair fall.

Let's look at a few of them so that you can make better decisions on how to go about getting rid of your thinning hair problem. First you should know that such forms of alopecia such as receding hairlines are tied down to a lack of blood circulation.

If you lack blood flow in the scalp, then your hair follicles are going to starve to death. So the more blood you get flowing to your roots, the better off you're going to be. In my opinion there's no better way to ensure that this happens than by scalp massage.

It's an ancient way of doing things, but when used properly this exercise is a powerful way to curb baldness fast. Instead of using your bare hands make use of oils like rosemary and henna. When massaged into your scalp pores they trigger tremendous amounts of circulation.

This is what's going to feed your follicles all of those nutrients that they need in order to grow. Now other than a lack of blood circulation, you should be very wary of the types of hair products you use. We're talking about sprays, shampoos, mousse, and other forms of gels.

A lot of these contain chemical additives that are there to give your hair body and fullness, but on the backend they strip your hair out over time. Aim for the use of natural products for your hair, such as those containing aloe vera, herbs like green tea, or even tea tree oil.

Reasons Many Fail At Fighting Hair Loss (Part 1)

2009-07-29T22:31:00.003-04:00

If I had a dollar for every person who has used some kind of commercial hair loss product and failed, I would be a very rich individual. So many people start to lose their hair and quickly grab whatever they believe is going to work for them.

This is the problem with a lot of hair loss sufferers. They jump right into trying to fix their hair problem before actually educating themselves on what their cause might be. I can tell you right now that everything you've probably heard about genetics and hair loss is probably not totally true.

Now of course genetics can play a certain role in whether you are one who loses hair or not. But it's not just because a close relative or someone in your immediate family went bald. It goes deeper than that.

There's a hormone called DHT that binds to your follicles and causes your hair to become very thin. Eventually if you don't take care of the situation, your entire head will soon become bald. It's a very scary thought, but it's true.

Now where genetics comes in is that everyone is genetically predetermined to have some amount of DHT that their bodies produce. Even those with hair have DHT present in their bodies, just not as much as those who are losing their hair.

While certain products like minoxidil and finasteride have been designed to help fight hair loss and DHT, they don't work for everyone. So for that reason you're going to have to take a different approach. For men they can take saw palmetto extract as a way to inhibit DHT.

Women shouldn't take this herb and it's best that they stick with something like green tea capsules. Since green tea contains compounds called catechins, they work to block DHT and further promote hair growth.

Shampooing Everyday - Feedback From Readers

2009-07-07T23:00:00.002-04:00

Wow I was completely blown away by the response I got from all of my various readers when it came to the post I recently made titled Shampooing Everyday - Totally Not Needed! If you haven't read this post, you can read it here.

I found your comments to be very intriguing to say the least. Many of you are really making fine progress either way it goes. Some of you are shampooing each day and others once or twice a week.

Guess it really doesn't matter how often you shampoo your hair. It depends mostly on what you use. A lot of my readers have found things that are SLS free and clear of chemical additives to be a real benefit for regrowing their hair.

Herbal shampoos are also quite popular so you should definitely give them a try. Brands like Nisim work extremely well and contain not just herbs, but amino acids, building blocks of protein for your hair that is totally essential.

Some of you have been using your own concoctions using rosemary oils and henna. These are outstanding and I urged you to keep it up as you make great progress in regrowing your hair naturally.

Shampooing Every Day - Totally Not Needed!

2009-06-30T09:59:00.003-04:00

Okay everyone has to shampoo their hair right? I mean at least they should because it's just good ole personal hygiene in order to keep the hair and scalp clean. But there are a lot of people taking this to the extreme.

Most of them are hair loss sufferers and they don't even suffer from OCD (excuse the pun). This is totally not needed and is actually dangerous to the growth of your hair.

I'm going to reveal to you why in just a second,but first why do so many people believe shampooing the hair all the time will make it grow back faster?

One thing I've observed is that a lot of folks do this because they've heard how clogged follicles can contribute to a loss of their hair. Others feel like just having a clean scalp is the key to more hair.

Well . . . . clogged follicles can contribute to hair loss when left untreated over time. But your hair needs certain natural oils in it in order to grow properly. You just can't do this every single day.

One great way to shampoo your hair effectively so as to make sure it grows back to its maximum potential is to do this every other day. Perhaps three days out of the week.

If you tend to have oily scalp and feel that more is needed, here's a quick concoction that's natural to help you rid of the oils.

Take a quart of water and mix it with the juice from four lemons. The acidic level of this mixture when applied as a rinse to the scalp will work to safely eliminate any buildup.

Herbal Shampoo Vs. The "Other Stuff"

2009-06-29T09:54:00.000-04:00

I'm going to first off tell you that you should definitely go for using herbal shampoo rather than all of the other commercial shampoo products. I have many reasons but I'm gonna keep this one nice and sweet.

You see there are so many additives and chemicals in a lot of shampoo products it's ridiculous. You may know of one called Sodium Laureth Sulphate. It's a de-greasing chemical agent that's placed in the shampoo to help wash away the dirt and oils from your hair and scalp. At the same time it causes your hair to thin out over time.

Well one reason why you should go with herbal shampoos is certainly because you won't have to deal with the harmful chemicals. On top of that most of them contain great proteins that really work well to give your hair that extra boost it needs to grow.

One of them is Nisim herbal shampoo. It contains 3 amino acids that give the hair strength and body. After all you must not forget that the hair is made up of protein. So it makes since to provide it with this essential nutrient.

Top Nutritional Tips For Hair Growth

2009-06-28T20:03:00.000-04:00

1. Eat adequate amounts of protein.

Protein is composed of the amino acids essential for the building of new cells, including hair. Five amino acids are of particular relevance to hair growth - cystine, cysteine, methionine, arginine and lysine.

Inadequate protein intake over a lengthy period can force hair into the resting phase with shedding a few months later. It is obvious then that sufficient portions of protein rich foods should form part of your daily diet. The best sources of dietary protein are lean meats, fish, poultry, eggs, dairy products, soy, nuts, grains and seeds. At least 15% of your daily calories should come from protein-rich foods.

2. Eat adequate amounts of useful carbohydrates.

Carbs are an essential source of energy and help in the growth of body tissues, including hair. They are an important source of the B vitamins that are vital to healthy hair.

It is important that you concentrate on consuming non-refined carbs rather than the sugars and white flour that are so prevalent in many over-refined carb products. You should place an emphasis on consuming vegetables, fruits, whole grains, brown rice and potatoes. It is recommended that you obtain 55-60% of your daily calories from the carbohydrates found in these foods.

3. Achieve a healthy balance of dietary fats.

Fat is used in energy production and can be found in both animal and plant foods. Your body needs sufficient levels of fat to maintain good health. That fat should be obtained from a mixture of lean animal and plant sources. Roughly 25-30% of your daily calories should come from these sources.

4. The right nutritional balance is one that suits your personal circumstances.

How much of each food group you eat depends on a host of factors including age, sex, health and level of physical activity. When choosing meals and snacks, take account of the following key principles of sound nutrition:

- Eat a variety of foods.

- Apply moderation to your consumption of junk foods.

- Choose natural and lightly processed foods as often as possible.

- Do not over cook.

5. Support a nutritious diet with a few carefully chosen supplements.

Following a nutritious diet is essential for good hair health, but on its own this may not be sufficient for a number of reasons:

- Modern farming methods may deplete the nutrient quality of food.

- High stress levels may diminish nutrients in your body.

- Dieting may affect nutrient levels.

- Aging reduces the ability of our bodies to utilize certain nutrients.

- Exercise can deplete some nutrients.

It may be sufficient to supplement with a well-balanced multi-vitamin / mineral product but a number of products are available that specifically cater for the requirements of healthy hair.

Herbal Treatment For Faster Hair Growth

2009-06-28T19:37:00.000-04:00

Hair growth patterns in humans depend upon the interaction of natural cycles of hair growth and hair loss. The hair growth cycles follow a structured process that has 3 phases. These 3 phases are – anagen (the growth phase), catagen (the transitional phase) and telogen (The resting Phase).

The hair is actively growing only in the anagen phase where it increases in length by about 1 cm in every 28 days. Hair loss occurs when the hair is in the resting phase. Most hairs in the resting phase lie in the skin separated from the dermal papilla at its base. Since the hair is not held tightly at its root, it is prone to shedding at any point.

The entire hair growth cycle is under the influence of hormones and their metabolic products. Dihydrotestosterone is the most important metabolite that plays the major role in retarding the hair growth and affecting hair loss. Accumulation of DHT (dihydrotestosterone) within the hair follicle is considered to be the main cause of hair loss.

The DHT mediates the hair loss through its direct action on the androgenic receptors in human scalp tissue. It interrupts the normal physiologic environment and function of the hair follicles. Faster hair growth in both men and women is possible if action of DHT is blocked.

The organic extracts of some of the herbal formulations act at the level of the androgenic receptors of the scalp. These extracts contain substances which directly compete with DHT with its action. They act as a natural androgenic blocker by inhibiting the active binding of DHT to the hair follicle receptors. When this binding is inhibited the amount of follicle damage is automatically reverted and follicles respond by affecting quick hair growth.

There are many natural herbs which have known to act as DHT antagonists. The use of herbs and herbal products has become broadly accepted in the contemporary culture for their unique potential to induce rapid hair growth.

Women have increased hair loss after the menopause. That is also because of increased production of DHT. Herbal supplements and herbal formulas used in hair growth products induce a quick hair growth in women.

The herbal hair growth supplements have found widespread acceptance as remedies for inducing faster hair growth. There are many good reasons to consider herbal hair growth supplements as the best form of treatment for hair related problems. The best reason may be the fact that herbs and herbal products have shown to provide quick hair growth benefits while maintaining a remarkable safety profile.

Equal parts of wild yam root, licorice, motherwort, black cohosh, chamomile, valerian root and skullcap can be taken as safe herbal supplements for hair loss due to loss of estrogen production. Estrogen is known to offer protection over the deleterious affects of DHT. All these herbs are known to simulate estrogen in women to result in rapid hair growth.

Dong Quai with other herbs if taken as herbal tea can serve as a special medication for faster hair growth in females. The medication is quite effective for maintaining the hair growth potential by regulating female hormone and hair growth cycles in pre-menstrual women.
