Treatments for Thinning Hair

Hair loss per day is up to 100 hairs for the average person – this is quite a common occurrence so don’t let this alarm you. 

The old hair falls out and is replaced. This is just a usual procedure of hair life.

But if a hair follicle doesn’t replace the old hair… hair loss will occur.

Thinning hair is sometimes a result of physical trauma and often these problems resolve by themselves. But sometimes treatment is required to stop the onset of baldness.

Not to worry!

There are ways to help prevent your thinning hair.

Before you go taking remedies and potions, you could try restyling your hair to cover the balding or thin bits. Volume can be added to your hair with shampoo and conditioner or a bit of wave can make a big difference.

These methods will only work on mildly thinning hair.

Teasing your hair will only call attention to the problem so try to steer away from such an idea.

Sometimes you can just part your hair in a different way. If your hair is thinning, adjusting the position or direction of your part might not only make your hair look thicker, but the change might be for the better as well.

Even crisscrossing, curving, zigzagging or diagonal parts can add volume to your hair!

Massaging olive oil into your scalp once a week is a good healthy remedy for thin hair treatment. Use this once a week and wash out the next morning to make your hair sleek, shiny and voluminous.

A great modern way of hiding thinning hair is hair extensions. As thinning hair can easily lower self-esteem, hair extensions are a great fast way of improving looks and making you feel much better about yourself.

If you would like to consider hair extensions, have a hairdresser test whether your hair is healthy enough for this treatment.

If your hair is as thin as a babies, and your hairdresser advices you not to have hair extensions, listen to the advice as hair extensions could then do more damage to your hair and make it even thinner.

The most expensive yet effective treatment to help with a balding head is hair transplants. This procedure involves hair being taken from a hair-producing area, and transplanted to where the scalp is balding.

If the transplant is successful, the hair will continue grow there for the rest of your lifetime!

Although this is much more costly than other treatments, it has a very high success rate and is permanent, unlike the other said treatments.

This is a very popular treatment for men over 50 and is a great cure for balding problems.

Remember this is not the only treatment open to you. There are plenty of options available to keep your hair full of volume and healthy.
