Hair Loss Treatments

Is there a treatment for hair loss?

Depending on the source of your hair loss, there may be a treatment available.

If the cause is a medicine, a different one can be prescribed so your hair grows back, or at least you will not lose it. Treating and recognizing an infection may help to stop hair loss. Correcting a hormone imbalance can help your hair to grow back.

Some medicines can help prevent or slow the development of common baldness. There is a medicine with the brand name of Rogaine, also known as minoxidil that is available without a prescription. This medicine is applied to the scalp and both men and women can use it.

There is another medicine with the brand name Propecia, also known as finasteride that is available with a prescription. It is available in pill format and is only for men. For some of these medicines, it may take up to six months for them to start working.

Different hairstyles such as shaving the head, wigs, hairpieces, hair weaves and artificial hair replacements are also answers to solve hair loss problems if medicines will not work.

My hair has always been a forefront of never ending years of hair dilemmas and styles. Black hair is the most fragile and versatile texture in the world.This has made my hair journey an interesting one from being natural as a child to permed in my teen years with good and bad hair days that brought about emotions and experiences that lay down deep in the soul. A black woman can never escape her personal hair struggles unless she makes peace with it and works with her hair in tune with nature....thankfully going natural has definitley lead me to this path :) Donna: Tell me about your website? Zhara: It's actually more of a community of support and motivation more than a personal website per se. I joined a community online photo blog called fotki.com to document my personal hair journey among thousands of other...

She is reported wanting to do whatever it takes to be back to her best, even if that means plastic surgery.

Briefly, the background on the client and the product is that Ms. Kaba is a PhD student at Northwestern University in the Department of Sociology. She has an B.A. degree from McGill University and an M.A. from the City College of New York. It is her master’s level work where the 21-page essay on Restoring Black Women’s Agency comes from. Her thesis was on the topic of the politics of Black women’s hair and the essay is a shortened version of that thesis. The client originally wanted the entire thesis to be turned into a website.
