Hair loss is a serious problem for those who fall victim to it. And the number of people who have fallen victim to this problem is huge. You can say that by looking at the number of scams and products and therapies that is out there to solve this problem. These stupid theories can really confuse you so much that you might want to get rid of whatever hair you are left with.

If you think you look good with a bald head, then let it be this way. But if you think you would like to grow some hair then here are some tips for you. First, you should try Finasteride and Minoxidil. These two are FDA approved drugs. But unfortunately these drugs will not restore 100% of your lost hair. These drugs will help your hair to strengthen, so that the hair fall decreases by a few percents and will keep the available hair from falling. You will have to go on with both the medicines at the same time on a regular basis otherwise the positive effects will be vanished within no time.

But if you are looking for an efficient hair restoration and grow hair all over your head, then you should opt for hair transplant. These surgeries have gained tremendous popularity lately. It’s a simple surgery with no side effects what so ever.

The surgeons will take a portion of skin that still has hair growing on it and will be placed at the bald part of your head. Once the tissues are grown the hair follicles will start to grow.

For women the methods are a little different. Instead of taking the skin the hairs are taken from an area with more hair growth, and are placed where hair is less. The hair might also be taken from other body parts.

Form the very early age of mankind people tried to know about the faster growth of their hair. How can hair grow faster or how can hair growth possible on bald head? The answer is simple- you cannot make your hair grow faster. Its physiological procedure not a humpty dumpty magic, which will make hair growth faster!

Each man has separate physiology, that’s why hair growth or number is different. Not only that, scalp hair can grow at different rates at various places on the head. Even people are different their hair growth rate is also different. On an average hair growth rate is half an inch per month, maximum of six inches a year in most of the cases. There are three steps in hair growth: the growth step is called “anagen phase”; the regressing step is called “catagen phase” and the last step is resting or shedding step, called “telogen phase”. Each phase has different time frame to grow and survive. Different follicle shape and hair color have an effect on the timings of these phases. It is also important to know these cycles, in order to understand why hair growth is often slow. Normal hair loss rate is 50-100 telogen hairs every day. New hairs will re-grow. Telogen phase follicles are about 10 percent of total. Drug effect, hormonal and nutritional effect, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, continuous exposure to chemical substance, thyroid dysfunction, generalized or local skin lesion and stress- are some common causes that can influence the anagen and telogen hair rate in men and women. The hair growth rate for African American people is somewhat lower.

Then, nothing is there to make hair grow faster? Truly speaking, you can keep in mind that there are only a very few things that can boost up the growth rate of your hair, only some things that will help your hair to grow strong and healthy.

First of all let us think about foods. Natural things are always helpful for hair growth rather than the artificial one. Broccoli, Fish , Beans, Yogurt and soy ,Dark green vegetable, Whole grain products, Essential fatty acid, Nut and seed, Carrots, Fruits, Eggs, Spinach – these are the foods, from which you can get some positive results.

Vitamins that increase   the hair growth- B vitamins, especially B6 (pyridoxine), B3 (Niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid) and B12, Inositol – Biotin (it maintains the health of the hair. Hair loss is often caused by Biotin deficiency.), Folic acid, Vitamin E, Vitamin C Vitamin A (do not take excess, because excess Vit A can cause hair loss).

Besides vitamins, minerals can also restore normal hair growth. Here are some of the minerals you can take: Calcium, chromium, copper, iodine, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, selenium, silica, sulfur and zinc. All these can be taken in the supplements form. This is only  convenient if you cannot manage enough time to eat properly. Of course you should consult with your doctor first.

Reduce or if possible, get rid of smoking, alcohol intake and caffeine.
Manage enough time for your body to sleep so it can get enough time to grow hair.
A soft shampoo can be used; specifically designed for your hair type. Use a conditioner after every shampoo also designed for your hair type.
Do regular trimming for the protection of split ends.

Last of all; always try to avoid use of hot water and hot blow dryers. Because these two are sufficient enough to make your head hot by accelerating hair loss.
