Balding cures have been around since Cleopatra attempted to cure her lover's hair loss with a wicked mixture of burned mice, the marrow of a deer, bear grease and several equine teeth brewed together. There have been just as many equally ridiculous remedies for hair loss that people have used to try to stop balding and re-grow their lost locks of youth. Hair loss is fairly common in both men and women, but the percentage of men that sustain male pattern baldness outweighs the number of females who experience pattern baldness. Susceptible males generally begin to notice some hair loss between the ages of twenty five and thirty five. Some actually begin to loose hair in their late teens or early twenties which is worrisome to most males. In a world that values the exterior of a person sometimes more than the interior wellsprings of character and integrity, a male without handsome, thick hair may feel his self worth and visual appeal plummet when the hair begins to let loose. "...every man at his best state is altogether vanity." (Psalm 39:5b)
Virility, youth and sex appeal have so often been linked to a good production of hair, that the number of men who have begun to lose it has created a huge demand for medical attention, hair replacement techniques and camouflage methods. In fact, the current trend in fashion for men is to shave the head whether you're bald or not! This offers the look of power, toughness and virility just for NOT having a full head of hair. Those that are losing it can resort to this doable trick if their heads are well shaped and they can pull off the look! For most men, however, doing something to stop balding is an important priority in their lives. The scientific conclusion or bottom line when it comes to ultimate, authentic balding cures is that...there is none!
There are, however, ways to address some underlying causes of male pattern baldness that may slow down the process or cause some re-growth to occur along the way. In order to choose the best method to deal with the hair loss dilemma, the root cause should first be determined. There can be different causes for hair loss including health reasons, medications and self induced loss through the misuse of hair care products. The most common cause of male pattern baldness, though, is testosterone or the male hormone. Male hormones are activated at puberty and hair begins to respond to the testosterone that is manufactured. Some teens actually begin to lose strands of hair, but it is not noticeable until later.
Hair loss is usually genetically influenced by one or both sides of the family. A person whose mother and father experienced thinning or balding, may just as well plan on dealing with the same issue. There is a genetic predisposition that relates to the amount of hair loss and to what balding patterns occur. Some people experience loss on top of their heads while others experience only a receding hair line. Some men are eventually only left with a fringe of hair that surrounds the head. Younger men are especially concerned with loss of hair and generally search for balding cures. There are several medicinal treatments that can be tried under the supervision of a dermatologist that may help to stop balding. Lotions and oral medications can be prescribed that affect hormonal levels directly related to male pattern baldness.
Most medications usually take as long as six weeks to see any effects and must be used over the long haul for a patient to benefit from use. There are also serious side affects such as sexual dysfunction associated with some medications since the most potent treatments are targeted at blocking the male hormone that causes baldness. Most medications that are prescribed to stop balding are not guaranteed to help everyone. If a medication does not stimulate some hair growth within 2 to 3 months, the treatment will generally not be expected to work even if used longer. Also, powerful medications are expected to be used long term in order to continue blocking hormones that will return to cause baldness if not continually inhibited.
For many men, extremely powerful drugs may cause some hair growth but may also cause unwanted side affects. In this case, alternatives to re-growth may be considered. Simple treatments for scalp stimulation that include hair care products and grooming techniques can be useful in some cases, although not as dramatic in results. Many men have resorted to hair transplants as balding cures that surgically place strands of hair on sparse areas of the head. Successfully transplanted hair will grow and certainly be the 'real thing' to anyone who notices. Hair weaves are another option used by many men who can afford synthetic replacements to be glued or woven into the existing strands.
This method will require periodic upkeep and can be expensive to maintain. Sometimes camouflaging or making hair loss less noticeable by dressing stylish, shaving the head or wearing hats can be a simple way to make a 'head of less'...more. In fact, stylists recommend that men who are experiencing baldness in any respect should always cut their hair very, very short and make no effort to cover spots with extra long strands of hair draped across the spot. In other words, men should 'baldly go where no man has gone before' and present themselves as self assured and stylish even if their locks appear more like Julius Caesar than Samson of the Bible!
