The best hair restoration system is a combination of two popular and effective methods of treating hair loss. Depending on the severity of the hair balding and the sex of the person who is experiencing the hair loss there are a few different methods that can be applied in order to help a person get his or her back. The best hair restoration method is to attack the problem from two angles.

First lets look at what causes the problem. Most men and women who lose their hair, either experiencing hair thinning or complete balding, are suffering from a genetic condition known as androgenetic alopecia. This is a preponderance for losing ones hair on certain areas of the scalp that is passed from one generation to the next. It used to be believed that the balding problem was only passed down through the mother’s genes but that is no longer true. Now we know that this form of hair loss, or alopecia, is not determined by one parent or the other.

Androgenetic alopecia, also known as pattern baldness or pattern hair loss, is caused by a situation that actually stops the hair follicles from producing hair shaft material. The follicle can be thought of as the hair factories in one’s body. The follicle is connected to the blood supply which provides it with oxygen and nutrients which are essential for the manufacturing of hair. When pattern baldness is active a hormonal metabolite known as DHT is produced in the body and eventually makes its way to hair follicle. The DHT bonds to the hair follicles and causes a disruption in the production of hair material. Normally a hair follicle will produce hair in a cyclical manner. It goes through growth and rest stages that can last several months. The DHT shortens the growth phase of the follicle to the point that it can no longer produce a healthy hair shaft and the shaft falls out. If not treated quickly, the pattern baldness will render the follicle completely ineffective.

The best hair restoration system involves dealing with the affect of DHT and also transplanting new hair follicles into the balded area. There are two hair loss treatment drugs that have been approved by the US FDA and have proved effective at slowing down the loss of hair but they will not do much to re-energize the follicles that have stopped producing so these hair follicles must be replaced. Of the two drugs only one, Minoxidil, is approved for both men and females. This is a topical solution that is applied to the scalp and helps to allow the hair follicles to continue to produce as needed. The second drug, Finasteride, is only prescribed for men as it can cause birth defects. This drug actually works to limit the amount of DHT that is produced in the body. Hair restoration doctors will usually use one of these drugs to keep what hair there is still growing along with hair implantation to provide replacement hair follicles for the balding that has already occurred.

The part of the system that causes the highest hair restoration costs is the implantations. Thus if a person can start the treatments early to save what hair they still have the hair restoration price will be much lower. As is usually the case, the sooner a problem is addressed the cheaper it is to deal with.  Applying the correct hair replacement systems can get you the head of hair you deserve. Start today to determine your path to a full head of hair.

This condition is the number one cause of hair loss in men and ABC news reports that over 40 million men in the US suffer from the embarrassing situation of thinning and balding hair. Hairisol claims to be able to re-grow lost hair because it has an active ingredient that has been approved by the FDA.

Baldness is a major problem in this society that worships youth. Hair loss has always been thought of a sign of aging and it really is. About 40 percent of men in their mid 30’s will show some level of balding and by age 60 nearly 65% of the men will. So it does seem to be associated with aging. Some interesting studies have been conducted in which the pictures of men with varying degrees of hair loss have been shown to people who were then instructed to guess the age of the men. The ages of the men with substantial hair loss were always assumed to be 10 to 15 years greater than they actually were. This means if you are bald or going bald you can take years of age off your appearance just by re-growing some of the hair you lost.

This product, Hairisol, claims on their website to regrow hair with the FDA approved drug Minoxidil. Minoxidil is the active ingredient in the widely popular hair loss product Rogaine. In clinical studies it has been shown to stop or slow the loss of hair and help some hair follicles to become active at growing hair again. This drug target a specific area of the scalp only and is not very affective in the others. If you are losing your hair on the crown or top of the head then Minoxidil does seem to have some positive affect for the majority of men. It does not treat the front of the head, though, so if you are having a problem with a receding hair line then it really won’t do anything for that. In reality, the best hair loss method for a receding hair line is hair restoration surgery.

The product Hairisol has Minoxidil in it but I have not been able to determine what other ingredients may be present. Their website is very good at offering ways to buy the product but all the links to more information are not active. Therefore, I have not been able to tell what other ingredients may be present. In products such as Rogaine, a 5% Minoxidil mixture is usually used when treating men and 2% for women. This seems to be the most effective levels.

It would be nice to have more information about this product in order to make a comparison of it versus other hair loss products. Unfortunately, the owners of their web site have decided to not give out that information. I will report back here when I have been able to determine more specifics about Hairisol.

If you are interested in hairsol pricing and how much they are currently charging you can find out about that at our post with that title.

Mens Toupee

Starting in the 1800’s the view of age changed. Up until that time young men would make fashion changes in order to appear older than they really were. This was because age and people of age were revered. During the 19^th century this changed and men started to seek ways to appear younger than their age. At this time it was believed that men who were losing their hair were old and thus not to be viewed in a good light. At this time the mens toupee or hair piece became popular as a way to cover up the hair loss. Topees for men continued to be popular, some even being sold by mail from Sears, up until their usage waned in the 60’s.

Toupee For Men

The toupee is constructed of a base material in which either human or artificial hair is sewn into. The material this base is made of can be a big determiner of whether or not the toupee is easy to spot. The manufacturer will try to match the hair on the hair replacement system or toupee to the customer’s existing hair and sometimes it works. Often times, the hair shade does not match or the person’s hair color changes and the toupee then becomes very noticeable.

Most high quality hair pieces are help on with a toupee adhesive that does a great job of keeping the piece in the proper place. Cheaper alternatives will be hair bands and toupee clips. These do a much poorer job of keeping the hair in place and the wearer suffers the risk of the piece falling off at an inopportune time.

The use of toupees has decrease to the point that several manufacturers are in dire straits financially. There are so many options available now that most men don’t even consider this time honored hair loss solution. The new toupees, known as hair replacement systems, are hopefully going to rejuvenate the hair piece market.
