The following are natural hair replacement options. Consider these when you don’t want to put any harsh chemicals into your hair or if you simply prefer going the natural route. They are a very safe way to handle hair replacement and can be used supplementally with stronger chemical treatments. 1. Saw PalmettoSaw Palmetto (Serenoa repens) traditionally used as an herbal medicine in treating enlargement of the prostate. Studies have indicated that it does this the same as to the drug finasteride by blocking the production of DHT in the body. When applied to the scalp in a topical solution, it blocks only local DHT production in the scalp. Intake of saw palmetto extract prevent the DHT production in the body entirely. Although there is presumably less or no unwanted side effects in taking saw palmetto, there is presently no research that connects saw palmetto in preventing hair loss. 2. Biotin, Folic Acid, and InositolBiotin Deficiency can lead to hair loss and premature graying of the hair. Folic acid and inositol deficiency have been related to serious hair loss. 3. Vitamin B12, Iron, and ZincBy taking Vitamin B12, iron and zinc supplements, can lead to hair regrowth. II - Medical Treatments:4. Rogaine (minoxidil)Do note that Rogaine does not really cure baldness; as a matter of fact, no studies show how it works. It does not grow hair on a completely bald scalp; it tends to delay hairloss in such areas that are extremely reduced. It is possible that Rogaine extend the growth stage of the hair, which ceases or delay the process of miniaturization. Rogaine should be applied twice daily; once a day treatment is not effective, and hair growth results may not be as excellent as you imagine; since Rogaine works by increasing hair thickness, that are miniaturized already, many individuals see noticeable growth of fuzzy and fine hair which does not likely to grow long. Usually it is effective only top of the head or the crown, and not at the front area of the head. It normally takes six to twelve months to see some results; to some individuals, they do not even notice a change until they stop using the medication. Do note however, that discontinuing the medication for as long as three months, any regrowth or hair appearance will disappear. So then if Rogaine works for you, you should continue with the medication or you will lose any benefit that it has shown.5. Propecia (finasteride)The drug finasteride, available in the market as Proscar for treatment symptoms of prostate enlargement, perform by restraining the action of the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, the enzyme in charge for changing testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). As DHT is responsible for hair growth also in the face, increased occurrence of acne, enlargement of the prostate gland, and is essential in the advancementt of male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). Testosterone, is the male hormone, and is in charge for the changes that take place during puberty such as the lowering of one
