How I Stopped My Hair Loss and Re Grew My Hair
Saturday, September 17th, 2011 asked:
Hair loss is a part of life for many of us. We often wonder, once the hair loss process has began will be able to stop it, and will we ever get our hair back. In woman, this can be a lot more embarrassing, stressful and difficult to deal with than in men, simply due to the fact that hair loss in men is generally accepted. For women, most of us see our hair as our crowning beauty. I have often heard it said that “a woman’s hair is the beauty of her face.” Personally, I don’t think that this is necessarily true. In men, the main reasons for hair loss are hereditary and age. In women, there can be a bit more varying reasons, such as, stress, age, menopause and child birth, to name a few.
The scientific reason behind hair loss in both men and woman is a chemical in our bodies called (Dihydrotestoterone) DHT. DHT is a naturally occurring chemical used elsewhere in the body, but it actually damages the hair follicles and causes them to become less efficient at getting the nutrients they need. Also as we age, our blood vessels become narrower and more clogged, which makes it even more difficult for the follicles. There are many products on the market today, which are said to prevent hair loss and re grow hair in men and women. If you are experiencing, or have experienced hair loss, then you know that many of these products do not live up to the hype!
Let me share a personal story with you. I am a mother of two. My children’s ages are 5 years and 1 year. Six weeks after my eldest child was born, I noticed that I was loosing my hair. I became frantic. It was not just falling out sparingly; it was coming out in clumps. The more I combed, the more it came out…from all over my head! I did not know what to do. I was forced to come to the realization that this process, whatever it was, had began. Either I deal with this now, or, not comb my hair for a while and pretend it wasn’t happening, but I knew that whenever I started to comb again, I would be pulling out bigger and bigger clumps of hair. I decided what the heck! The sooner I get it all out, the sooner I can decide what to do about what’s left. After nearly a week of this, it finally stopped. Yep! I was practically bald. There were strands hair on the crown of my head and my sides looked as if they had been shaved as far back as behind my ears. The lower back of my head came through this ordeal pretty good though. Not much missing there. Yes, you guessed it. Wigs and caps became by best friends for the next few months. Why that long, you might ask. Well, once my shedding had stopped, I started to try all sorts of different products. I tried sprays, shampoos, pills, jells, you name it, I tried it. None of them worked like they promised. They all helped a bit, but they didn’t fully re grow my hair. One day a friend referred me to this product called Provillus. I was already frustrated with all the other products and had decided to accept my condition. After much back and forth with my friend, I decided to try this one last product. If this didn’t work, then that would be it.
