Male Hair Loss Treatment

Male Hair Loss Treatment

There are many male hair loss treatments available today. The treatments vary as do the factors that cause hair loss. The venue a person may want to take to attack the hair loss problem can vary just as much.

Male hair loss treatment may consist of attacking the stressor that caused it, or attacking a specific behavior that a person may have, one which puts physical stress on the scalp; or it may be a prescription medication that attacks the disease that's causing the balding to occur. The fact is, there may be many different reasons why a person is losing their hair. Genetics is a pretty big one, as is stress, and even medications designed to treat other diseases. Knowing what is causing the hair loss is a great first step towards finding the solution.

The most obvious treatment for hair loss is hiding it or minimizing it. Getting a quality hair piece may be the easiest solution to an aggressive balding problem or even a temporary one caused by a medical condition. With today's synthetics and other hair-like materials, a person can get a quality product for as little as $100; although getting an undetectable one can easily run in the thousands of dollars.

To minimize the loss, a treatment solution may be a new, edgy hair cut that focuses on the attributes of various art forms to create an illusion of fuller, thicker hair. This is generally not recommended if the balding is advanced, as a haircut with a bunch of balding patches cut can make a person look silly. Asking your hair stylist for advice is your best bet as they will be up to date on the latest hair styling trends and can offer advice on what they think would work best with the styling products that they have available and the attributes that you bring to the table.

Another hair loss treatment that a person might consider are prescription medications that can slow down the hair loss, or herbal treatments that have shown to do the same. There are also laser treatments that show some promising results but your best bet with those is to ask around in your area, for testimonials, as finding the right people to do this procedure can turn out to be a wild goose chase. Look around this site for some reviews of products that have actually shown to work.

Of course, the last resort and probably the most expensive and troublesome hair loss treatment just may be hair restoration surgery. Again, finding a proficiently trained doctor in your area may constitute a challenge- asking around and talking with people who had the surgery done is a good way to guarantee lasting results in the long run and getting your money's worth, as this is not a cheap procedure and it comes with a lot of risks.

Treating hair loss is a lot like treating any other hereditary disease- find the cause then attack it to treat it. And while there isn't a magical pill that you can take to give you back your hair, there are medications and procedures that can help you look and feel better.

Keratin Hair Treatment

When it comes to hair, I've pretty much done it all. I've permed it, straightened it, colored it, highlighted it, teased it, curled it, braided it, and styled it in just about every way imaginable (except I've never gone really short). So it's not shocking that I decided to do one of the latest fads in hair care - the Brazilian Keratin hair treatment.

What is the Brazilian Keratin treatment, you ask? Well, It is a smoothing and straightening process that you can get to help your hair be virtually maintenance free and frizz free. It's great for those with hair that tends to be frizzy and responds to humidity poorly, such as mine, and it also gives a lot of added shine to your hair, so it makes it look a lot healthier.



This treatment lasts anywhere from 3-5 months, depending on how often you shampoo your hair, since little by little the treatment does come out of the hair naturally, so if you are a person who doesn't shampoo very often, you may be in luck. The cost for this procedure, which takes about two to two and a half hours usually, depending on the length of your hair, runs an average of about $150 per hour.

This means your total bill will fall between $300 and $400 for the process, and you will also need to buy a special shampoo for it that usually runs about $35 for a large bottle, so when it's all said and done, with the tip and shampoo, you're probably looking at an almost $500 bill, give or take a little. My bill happened to be about $485, and I have long hair. The process took 2½ hours for me, and it wasn't bad at all.

I've had the thermal reconditioning done before too (also known as Japanese straightening), and that process took about five hours all together and cost a little more. It also is supposed to last longer though, and your hair is so poker straight that it may not be in everyone's taste because it lacks body for a while.
