September 7th, 2008 — Hair Loss
Hair loss prevention has turned into big business in the United States. There are countless products that claim they can help you stave off baldness and restore your hair to its former glory. Unfortunately, most of these products do nothing to attack the real cause of typical male pattern baldness: DHT. DHT will essentially shorten the lifespan of your hair on the crown and front of your scalp. If DHT production isn’t blocked, hair loss prevention cannot occur.
Many people who have used the leading brands of hair loss prevention products have found that they experience negligible results at best. Even those products that do slow down the balding process do very little to stimulate the growth of new hair. Fortunately, there’s a natural hair loss prevention product that both blocks the buildup of DHT and generates new growth: Provillus.
Benefits of All-Natural Hair Loss PreventionWith all-natural Provillus, you will not experience any side effects, unlike those products that use a variety of chemicals as active ingredients. You will also be spared the time, money, and embarrassment that often come with visits to the doctor, since Provillus does not require a prescription. Most importantly, you will get the results you are looking for.
If you are unsatisfied with the treatment, you have six months to return it for a complete refund; the majority of hair loss prevention products on the market will not make that kind of offer. Plus, if you order the Maximum Results package, we will also give you two free bottles! That’s a six-month supply for the price of four months, and a huge savings for you!

Hair loss sufferers wake up in the morning and check their pillows for amounts of hair that have fallen out. Hair loss sufferers check their combs and brushes after every use and try to count the number of hairs contained therein. Hair loss sufferers put on their glasses and check the number of hairs in the shower or sink after each wash. Hair loss sufferers grow anxious, nervous, and scared. How much will go today, and how soon will I begin to look bald to others?
They worry about the impressions they will make on bosses, future bosses, friends, co-workers, and even strangers who see them in public places. What a horrible way to live!If hair loss is beginning to be a daily worry for you, do something about it! Check with your physician to ensure that there is not some physiological cause which can be remedied. Some diseases have hair loss as early symptoms, and certainly you want to know if you are diabetic and suffering from Lupus. Bacterial and fungal infections can cause hair loss, and can certainly be cured. Worry, anxiety, stress, and major life traumas can cause it. Surgery can cause it.
Pregnancy can cause it. All of these are either temporary or controllable, and that should bring you relief.If, however, you are among the millions of adults who are simply the products of your heredity and/or hormones, you must look in other directions.
1. First and foremost, take care of your body with good diet and exercise. These things affect hair health and can slow down the loss of your hair.
2. Find ways to reduce stress and anxiety. Exercise, Yoga, meditation, etc. are good activities for this.
3. Take care how you treat your hair. Do not pull at it, comb or brush it harshly, or use harsh shampoos. Reduce use of colorants and other harsh chemicals. Try to manipulate your hair as little as possible. Reduce the use of blow dryers and curling irons.
4. Investigate and experiment with the wide variety of products available to reduce hair loss. The earlier in life you begin this investigation and experimentation, the better your results will be. Products like Provillus, for example, should be used with the first signs of more than normal hair loss.
5. Try natural remedies, such as Saw Palmetto(primarily for men), essential oils and herb solutions. These are available at health/nutrition retailers or on many Internet sites. Again, you will have to experiment to find what works best for you. Every body is unique and will respond differently to different treatments.Whatever the level of your hair loss, if it bothers you, you owe it to your own peace of mind and well-being to explore your options.

Diabetes and Hair Loss: Don’t Lose Your hair Because of Diabetes. Quite often, significant hair loss can alert an individual to the possibility of the development of diabetes. If an individual is losing hair in larger than normal quantities, and the loss does not appear to be common pattern hair loss, evaluation by a medical professional would be warranted. The reason is this: diabetes is a disease that is hormonal related, and this imbalance can often be seen first in loss of hair. The links between hair loss and diabetes are as follows:
1. Diabetes causes poor blood circulation. Poor blood circulation can affect the ability of hair follicles to operate normally. Under normal conditions, hair grows for 2-6 years; then it goes into a period of dormancy, and eventually it dies and falls out as a new strand is produced in the follicle to push it out. When blood circulation is poor, the follicle is not producing a new strand as normal, the old strand dies and falls out, and there is no replacement hair. Further, strands tend to die and fall out more quickly when blood circulation to the head area is poor. Therefore, more hair falls out and is not replaced, creating much thinner hair.
2. Diabetics are more susceptible to skin conditions, and skin conditions on the scalp can cause hair loss. Both bacterial and fungal infections of the scalp can interrupt the normal growth process of hair.
3. The medication often prescribed and taken for diabetes can interrupt the normal cycle of hair growth. More often, this is reversed as the body adjusts to the medication, but anyone beginning medications should be aware of this.
4. Diabetes causes both physiological and psychological stress and anxiety. Stress and anxiety are direct factors in hair loss. Dehydration is a factor as well. When coupled with stress, it can be a killer for hair.If you have hair loss related to diabetes, here are some helpful suggestions:
a. Wait to see if the condition will right itself once you have been on your medication for some time. This may take a few or more months.
b. Keep your body hydrated. Eight glasses (8 0z. each) should be consumed daily, no matter what other liquids you consume.
c. Exercise regularly. Exercise increases blood circulation, and your head will be a recipient of that increased circulation. Your follicles will love you for it.
d. Try Yoga or some other form of relaxation to relieve stress and anxiety.
Diabetes is a significant diagnosis and a life-changing illness. Follow your physician’s instructions carefully and continue to do those things that you know are good for your general health. Hair health is affected by all that you do and consume.

Causes of Hair Loss in Women:
Help! I Don’t Have to Tear My Hair Out Anymore – It’s All Over My Sink!We lose hair everyday, 100-150 strands actually, simply from brushing and manipulating. If you have long hair, this can look like a lot, but, considering the amount of hair on a head, it’s a tiny amount. If hair is coming out in clumps, or you notice circular patches of balding spots, however, there is definitely a problem, and treatment will be based upon the specific cause.The following causes should be investigated if you are experiencing more-than-normal hair loss:
1. Diet: An unbalanced diet, especially one without enough protein, can cause temporary hair loss. Women who are anemic often experience loss.
2. Menopause: Because of the change in hormones during this period, hair loss can escalate, and, unfortunately, this can be permanent.
3. Frequent Shampooing: Shampoos contain a lathering ingredient called surfactant. This can be irritating to the scalp and cause itching and scratching, thus increased hair loss.
4. Improper Care: If you manipulate your hair too much, color and treat too much, blow dry and heat with curling irons and hot rollers too much, you will see increased hair loss. You need only to look at your bathroom floor, sink and countertops to notice this. Slow down!
5. Psychological/Physiological Stress: Increased hair loss can occur with pregnancies, major surgery, or a major life event, such as a death or divorce. These causes are temporary and hair growth will return to normal eventually.
6. Heredity: Heredity plays a part and comes from both sides of the family.
7. Other Health Conditions: Thyroid problems, lupus, and diabetes can accelerate hair loss. Obviously, these need to be diagnosed by a physician.
8. Alopecia Areata: This is an autoimmune condition characterized by circular patches of baldness. Basically, the body is attacking the hair follicles. Cortisone shots in the affected areas are required, and the earlier the better.
Take heart. There’s a lot of research going on which may soon resolve most of the causes of hair loss in women. However, there is a great product that has been proven effective. It is called Provillus. Provillus is an oral supplement, which works to block DHT, a form oftestosterone that is responsible for 95 percent of hair loss. It also works to stimulate the scalp and bring dead follicles back to life. You can use Provillus as a preventative tool, starting the program before hair loss becomes severe, or you can use it after DHT has already begun to take hold of your hair and scalp. You can get it at www.herbalbeautyclinic.com.
