Proven Hair Loss Remedies By Ryan D. Taylor At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

Hair loss is a very common condition for men and also women today. It has been said that there are only two drugs that have been proven to treat hair loss which are Rogaine and Propecia.

1. Rogaine and Propecia

These drugs do not work in the same way. For Propecia, it is a pill that is taken in once everyday. On the other hand, Rogaine is a form of liquid that is applied in the scalp.

Propecia works by limiting the production of the DHT hormones that is said to be the cause of hair loss. It has been reported that 80% of men who have used Propecia observed a change and hair loss was lessened. This drug is not available over-the-counter, it must be prescribed by a physician.

On the other hand, Rogaine works by regenerating hair follicles that have been shrunken to be able to increase the hair follicles size. If Rogaine is applied on a daily basis, there is a possibility that the growing hair will be longer and thicker. Unlike Propecia, it can be purchased over-the-counter.

The only limitation for Rogaine and Propecia is said to be that it is not able to restore hair in the front area. It is only able to replace the hair located on the crown area. It has not yet been discovered why it only restores hair on the crown area. The only solution to restore hair in the front part is hair transplant surgery.

2. Herbs

Since not all people are comfortable taking in drugs or applying creams on their scalp, some people would opt to using herbs. Samples of these herbs are Birch leaves, Aloe, Nettles and the like. These herbs have been proven to cleanse the skin for hair growth.

Mixing one table spoon of Watercress, Stinging Nettle and Birch leaves in a glass of water and drinking it has been said to clean the blood. This is needed for hair growth.

Another herb that has been proven to be effective is the Horsetail. It is a great source of silica that aids in maintaining the hair strong and shiny. To formulate a shampoo out of horsetail, mix two tablespoon of steep in 4 ounces of hot water and mix it with baby shampoo.
