Stop Your Hair Loss Now

In today´s world, hair loss is one of the most common problems in people’s life, first of all we need to try to understand what the root causes of hair loss are and then, get the appropriate treatment for it.

Let’s take a look at some of the different baldness causes:
a) Genetics - one of the main causes (more common in men than in women), that is, the dominant gene responsible for the hair to fall (baldness), is inherited from father to son.

b) Therapies – like Chemotherapy, some medications or illness. In these cases, the hair loss sometimes, it´s only temporary. When the patient stop taking the medication or the treatment, the hair will eventually start growing again.

c) Diet and lifestyle – defiantly one of the most overlooked causes ,people who have a unbalanced diet and a sedentary way of life are more likely to get the illness (so, it’s very important to have a good diet and practicing exercise on a daily basis)

With many products in the market today, specially produced for hair loss treatment, it may be not that easy to choose the right for you. Here are some tips that you may follow to choose to get the right treatment for you.

1) Always use products that are scientifically proven.

2) Ask around, sometimes people we know may be using an effective product.

3) Be careful trying homemade recipes, sometimes they will only make the situation worse.

4) Be patient. Most of the treatments today take at least six months to get the first results
(some of them you will see real results after two years of use).

5) Be sure to keep track of the results using photographs (before and after photos).

There are other options out there like hair restoration, laser treatments, implants etc. these treatments tend to be effective but the downside is they tend to be a little expensive.

You only need to take the right steps to stop the falling of the hair and sometimes to induce the growth of new hair, with the right treatment and a little patience; your hair loss can quickly become a problem of the past.

Hair Loss Product Review

Best Hair Loss Product

Case Study in Hair Loss

Many factors can cause hair loss, including stress, environment, medication, health, diet and other factors. Hair loss does not generally happen over night, yet over a period of time.

Clients with noticeably thinning hair feel and complain about styling challenges due to the hair becoming finer and scalp concerns in varying ways: they've changed they way the style their hair, their scalp is tight or dry or has excessive oiliness, their scalp itches and for some, they see a gradual loss of hair density. And the market place is waking up to the importance of the scalp health. Taking care of the scalp environment is important to healthy-looking hair.

At Hair Resources we have decided to do a hair product review of the Nioxin line for thinning hair. We choose Nioxin because of its popularity online and in many hair loss forums.

What is Nioxin?

NIOXIN® focuses on creating an optimal scalp environment, allowing the body or in this case the scalp skin to do its job, which is to grow hair. It doesn't get thin over night and it takes a commitment to using the 3-part system daily to achieve the results they're looking for

People with noticeably thinning hair feel and complain about styling challenges due to the hair becoming finer and scalp concerns in varying ways: they've changed they way the style their hair, their scalp is tight or dry or has excessive oiliness, their scalp itches and for some, they see a gradual loss of hair density. And the market place is waking up to the importance of the scalp health. Taking care of the scalp environment is important to healthy-looking hair.

For our product review, we have chosen a male subject, 46 years old, and experiencing approximately 30-50% hair loss. His hair is very fine, so we selected the NIOXIN 2- a 3-part system for fine hair with no color processing.

Part 1 - NIOXIN CleanserTM

Removing environmental residue and DHT from the scalp hair helps to improve the oxygen and nutrient uptake and helps to manage excessively oily or dry and itchy scalp skin conditions.

Saturate the scalp and hair with comfortably hot water. Create a rich lather in the hands and begin gently massaging into the forehead, temples, slowly moving your way back towards the nape and into the ends of the hair. Leave for 1 minute and rinse clean with warm to comfortably hot water.

Part 2 - NIOXIN Scalp TherapyTM

Hydrating the scalp helps to soothing scalp tension.

Paying close attention to hairline, temples, nape and thinning areas, gently massage onto the scalp and the length of hair. Leave product on one to three minutes. Rinse clean with warm to comfortably hot water, blot dry with a towel. Apply Follicle Booster® directly to the scalp skin in noticeably thinning areas and leave-in. This intensive leave-in booster with exfoliating properties increases cellular turnover through exfoliation of dead skin cells.

Part 3 - NIOXIN Scalp TreatmentTM

Providing moisturizing nourishment for the scalp and hair through essential oils, nutrients and antioxidant vitamins helps to soothe the stressed scalp skin.

Apply NIOIXN Scalp TreatmentTM throughout the scalp and length of hair and leave-in. This vitamin enriched formula helps to safeguard against environmental residue and DHT build-up on the scalp. May result in a temporary redness to the areas where applied. Wipe excess product from the face and neck areas. Wait two minutes and style as usual using NIOXIN® Volumizing ReflectivesTM or Smoothing ReflectivesTM styling products.

Stay tuned as we post monthly photos of progress in using the NIOXIN 2 3-part system at http://www.hrhairloss.com/
