Vichy Hair Loss

Some hair loss, such as that caused by too-tight buns or ponytails or by severe unremitting stress, is relatively easy to reverse. Hair loss caused by genetics (androgenetic alopecia) or autoimmune problems (alopecia areata) is much more difficult to treat, although it is possible to restore some of the lost hair, especially on the back and top of the scalp. More importantly, such treatments often prevent future hair loss, thereby nipping the problem in the bud.

For those who dislike wigs or hairpieces and are not interested in undergoing surgical procedures, prescription medication or minoxidil are definitely worth a try. A dermatologist should be consulted before any treatment is attempted, as blood tests and a scalp examination will determine exactly what is causing the problem and the best therapy can then be determined.

Hair Loss Caused By Genetics: Rogaine

If a patient’s parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, or grandparents lost a significant amount of hair as they grew older, chances are that the patient’s thinning hair has genetic origins. This trait can skip a generation, too.
