Feed your follicles for hair growth.

Feed your follicles for hair growth.

Many factors contribute to thin hair and  hair loss, such as  poor diet, stress, hormonal changes, medications, prolonged use of dyes, excessive blow drying and of course, aging. Scientists have studied hair growth and hair loss for decades and although not fully understood, many believe that poor nutrition plays a very significant role.

Loss of essential nutrients to your hair follicles can reduce hair growth and as hair growth slows, individual hairs become thinner and fall out and hair loss increases. In this undernourished state, more hair follicles become inactive and hair will not grow.

You may think that as your hair loss is caused by this internal process that it cannot be changed. All sorts of remedies have been touted to stop hair loss, generally without any scientific verification or basis in fact and despite multiple side effects. However, scientific studies indicate that specific nutrients can help reduce hair loss and stimulate hair regrowth.

Basic amino acids, fats, minerals and vitamins are essential for healthy hair regrowth and nourishing the hair follicles with these essential nutrients can reduce hair loss and stimulate hair regrowth. You do not have to accept that hair loss is due to some unchangeable internal process caused by a multitude of factors and therefore nothing can be done about it. Science can now offer real hope with the development of a nutritional hair loss treatment product.

More than 70 percent of participants in one trial, based on the formulation of highly refined marine proteins, minerals, vitamins and herbs, experienced a significant decrease in hair loss. In another study, 95% of users showed total regrowth of hair. Hair loss is not some unstoppable, internal process and now there is a new natural hair treatment that can help.

If you really want to reduce your hair loss, consider the hair loss capsule that works the same way as your hair grows – from the inside out. Nourishing the hair follicles (follicle feeding) with the essential nutrients by way of your bloodstream, the same way as we absorb all nutrients from our food, can help reduce your hair loss and stimulate hair regrowth.

Shave your head for thicker hair!

Posted on July 28, 2010 by HairMan

Where did this ridiculous statement come from? Do people actually believe it? Is it because that those who shave their legs believe that once they started that it appears that they need to do it more often?  The only effect that shaving your head will have is to make your hair very short indeed. If you want that look then go for it!

Once your hair pops through your scalp it is dead hair. That is to say that the hair above your scalp is dead. The only part of the hair that is alive is below the scalp – imbedded in your hair follicle. Shaving will not make it healthier, nor will it make it grow quicker and it certainly will not make your hair thicker.

We do know that a hair growing from an unhealthy follicle grows less in length and becomes thinner over time.

Treating hair loss involves caring for the individual hair follicles to ensure that they can grow normal healthy hairs. We also know that consuming the essential vitamins, minerals and proteins is paramount for healthy hair regrowth. The normal hair growth rate is 10 millimetres per month or if you still measure in inches – that’s one inch every two and a half months. Therefore if your hair is at its healthiest and you avoided the hairdresser for 12 months your hair would grow a whopping 120 millimetres in 12 months.

If your hair is not growing at this rate then you could be in the early stages of alopecia (hair loss). If you are concerned, then now is the time to do something about it. Do not wait until the obvious signs of the receding hairline appear as the process is already underway. We do know that the earlier that you address your hair loss the better the benefits of treatment. It may be a simple comment from your hairdresser – your hair hasn’t grown much since your last visit – that tips you off.

Bad hair day

Posted on June 2, 2010 by HairMan

We have all had those mornings – you have a very special meeting, function or social engagement today and your hair has a mind all of its own! Nothing that you do seems to change your uncontrollable locks; gel in, gel out; blow dry, wet again; straighten, curl; wet look, dry look; by now you are ready to – “tear your hair out”. But spare a thought for those who have the added issue of losing excess hair.

It is normal to lose hair every day and for some that may mean 50 hairs a day and for others it may mean 100 hairs. It is not that people collect and count each hair each day but those suffering excess hair loss are aware that they are loosing more than normal. Some friends will even comment on your hair loss and that can be a bit confronting, but you can turn that around and use it as a sign to do something about your hair loss.

You may wonder why you are losing more hair than normal but it helps to remember that hair health can be a gauge of your overall general health and well being. Have you been working hard, playing hard, missing meals, stressing about life, colouring your hair more than usual, or perhaps you have an underlying medical condition. Most excess hair loss is a result of a medical or nutritional imbalance in your body system.

Thankfully, in this internet age, you can access extensive information to help you. But unfortunately, the amount of information available can be somewhat daunting. How do you decide what is real and what is unreal? You will find numerous products and treatments available and you should do your research and ask questions of those behind these products. Do remember – knowledge is power – but only when you use it.

Should you decide that a nutritional supplement is for you then make sure it meets the Australian Standards for therapeutic goods? Products sold in Australia by Australian companies must comply with the rigorous requirements of the Therapeutic Goods Act. In part, the Act stipulates that the products must be produced by GMP – Good Manufacturing Practices. So you can be assured of the quality of your nutritional supplement.

Hair loss is mum’s fault.

Posted on March 4, 2010 by HairMan

We are told that if you want to know whether or not you will suffer the indignity of hair loss as you get older then look no farther than your mum’s father, yes good old grandad. So does that mean that if your father’s father is bald you should not worry? Well unfortunately, the latest news indicates that you can inherit the hair loss gene from either your mum’s or dad’s side of the family.

By the time they reach their sixties nearly 60% of men will be experiencing hair loss due to male pattern baldness and it can start in your twenties. But there can be other reasons for hair loss other than your grandads. Today, there is a significantly higher percentage of young males losing hair than say 25 years ago. Why is it so?

Well the good news is that it can be caused by reasons other than your family history. How we live in today’s stressful environment, medications, hair products and fast food diets can all place stress on how our hair grows and whether or not we get strong hair regrowth after each hair cut. Just as we take specific vitamins to help our bodies cope with our busy lives we can consume specific nutrients to help keep our hair in it’s best condition and stimulate strong hair growth.

As a young man you don’t have to accept that you are losing your hair just because grandad  is bald. Science has shown that you can do something about your hair loss without any downside.

Before you go running off to spend thousands of dollars on all sorts of programs, first look to your lifestyle and your diet – you may be surprised that the small changes you make now can have a dramatic effect on the health of your hair.
