Hair Loss Treatments

Hair loss treatments, or hair cosmetics, are today widely used. Not everyone is aware that the chemicals used in many of these products can break the hairs.

UHLO comment: Don't bleach, color, dye or perm your hair. This will make the hair weaker. Less is better.

When we talk about hair loss treatments, we mean mainly female hair loss treatments or natural hair loss treatments. Hair loss products, like rogaine, propecia and procerin, are discussed here, while hair transplant is discussed here.

Hair care tip

Frequent use of hair treatments, such as bleaching or permanents, can cause hair breakage. Also, regular or excessive use of dyes, gels, relaxers and hair sprays can have a similar effect on the hair.

If your scalp gets inflammatory, irritated or shows other symptions, change your product, and if the sympton persists, see a dermatologist.

As you get older, your hair grows slower, it gets thinner and it often turns grey as well (due to lack of melanin). These factors leads to that more people treat their hair and treat that they treat it more often.

Thinner hair that grows slower is more vulnerable to damage from bleach, color and permanent waves, and gets damaged or breaks more easily. As you and your hair age, you should treat your hair for as short a time as possible.

Prescription shampoos that treat scalp diseases, such as dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis, do not damage your hair more than other shampoos. It is better to treat your condition than leave it. By leaving it your scalp will typically be itching, red and scaling. This will lead you to scratching your scalp, which causes more hair loss than using the prescription shampoos.
