Why Natural Hair Loss Shampoos Are Worth Your Time



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!

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

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


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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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



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

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

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

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

I wish you the best,

What I Think About Procerin

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

So . . .

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

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

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

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

But . . .

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

MINOXIDIL! Yikes!

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

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

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

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

Best,
