Hair Restoration System

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.

Hair Restorer Natural Products

There is help for you if you are going bald and you want a hair restorer product or treatment that will help you to get your hair growing again. Ever since civilization began men have been trying to find a way to restore the full head of hair they enjoyed in their youth. A while ago an ancient hair restoration procedure was found drawn on the walls of an Egyptian tomb from about 3500 BC. It was with other hieroglyphs that were explaining the day to day life of the Egyptian nobility. Apparently hair loss and hair restorer products have been popular for at least that long.

Most of the work that has been done for re-growing hair and treating baldness in this country has been focused on drugs and products that can be sold by the big companies. The old remedies and treatments that have been around for years have not received any where near the exposure that these other methods have. This is really how it is in the US, the only things that get studied or get any press are things that make big companies more money.

If a hair restoration remedy has been around for decades or centuries it stands to reason that it must do something to help people get their hair growing again. That is only reasonable. It would be much better if our scientific community would spend time finding out why old time baldness treatments worked instead of developing new drugs with bad side effects. One of the current drugs from the big drug companies is so potent that a pregnant woman can not even touch the pill with her finger for fear of birth defects.

What is really interesting is when a natural hair growth remedy that has been around for hundreds of years is found to affect the body the same way an expensive drug does. One example of this is Saw Palmetto Extract. This natural hair loss supplement has been used in Europe for years to treat male pattern baldness. It has only recently been shown to act on the body the same way some of the hair growth drugs do.

The cause of male pattern baldness is a build up of DHT, dihydrotestosterone, an androgen hormone. DHT is a result of the metabolism of the male hormone testosterone. This DHT is found in the blood stream and elevated levels can cause male prostrate problems along with hair loss from male pattern baldness. Saw Palmetto helps the body the limit the amount of DHT that is present in the blood stream. Without the excess hormone the blood can continue to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the hair follicle thus allowing it to continue to manufacture hair shaft material. Thus the hair loss is stopped and the hair follicles can continue to grow hair.

It is very interesting that this is the exact mechanism that a drug called finasteride, marketed as Propecia, uses to combat hair loss. In fact, this drug was originally developed to treat male urinary system problems and it was only when the drug got into clinical trials that it was found to also treat baldness and bald spots.

This is only one example of a natural hair restorer that may work as well as an expensive drug. At least is operates in the same way on the causes of alopecia or male pattern baldness. Perhaps we should take a closer look at these old hair loss remedies.

Hair Replacement Systems

Hair replacement systems have been around since at least 3100 BC. The earliest known example of a hair system was found in a tomb from ancient Egypt. Apparently the pharaohs didn’t like to be bald either. They apparently had a good idea because in one form or another these hair coverings have been found in most other civilizations.

There are a lot of hair replacement options available but one of the best and fastest is a hair system. Originally known as a Toupee’ this name developed a bad connotation because of all the comedy movies that showed men with bad toupee’s falling of in the wind or when he bent over. Some of the best classic comedies included this as part of their slap stick.

Sears Roebuck revolutionized hair pieces by starting a mail order business in the early 1900′s. Most of these sales were advertised in print showing before and after pictures and telling the story of how important it is for a man to have a hair covered head. Most of the advertising, like today’s hair restoration system advertising, dealt with the business and social aspects of having a bald head and how a fitted hair piece could quickly solve these problems.

The best hair replacement system is going to be one in which the underlying material, the weave, matches the scalp color and texture as possible. It also depends on the material the base is made from. Bases are constructed of weave or polymers. Polymers are used when an imitation skin texture is needed. These polymers are usually always matched by color to the scalp.

Mesh bases are usually used when there is a concern of the hair line. The mesh is able to show a much more natural line a polymer base is. The main problems with weave bases is they are very delicate thus easily torn and they are susceptible to acid breakdown caused by normal body acids.

Hair replacement systems are not as popular as they once were probably because of the many choices that are now available. There are now drug therapies that can be used for hair restoration along with hair implants and hair plugs. Also it seems that more and more people are just accepting baldness so it doesn’t have the social stigma it used to. In fact many men completely shave their heads when they are starting to have patchy baldness so their entire scalp is bald.

Hair replacement costs vary depending on the construction of the piece and where it is purchased. With the advent of the internet there are now many more possibilities for men to find a good system at a reasonable cost. This offers a great non surgical hair replacement method that will look good without you having to go to the doctor’s office.
