When we walk into a jewelry store or home furnishings, we take a lot of time in choosing the perfect neck piece or the curtain that would go with our wall colors. We pay a lot of attention to what are the stones or fabrics used and the quality of the same. If we are so cautious while buying these, we should be more so when dealing with our health. There are millions of people around the world suffering from hair loss and baldness. Both men and women alike go through this ordeal and while trying to promote re-growth of hair, they sometimes act wisely, while other times they simply use the first product that comes their way. They are so desperate that they don’t check the contents of the products are.
In case you have decided to try a product off the shelf at your mall based on the advertisements shown on the TV, you might be wasting money. These products promise complete cure from hair loss and re-growth of every strand of hair on your head, but does it really work? That is a question you need to ask before picking the product up. If each of them were successful, there would be no hair loss problems in the world. Why is it that hair loss is the largest problem plaguing people everywhere? Yes, there are times when a product works for a person, but might not show same results for another. It is therefore advisable to consult your dermatologist before trying out any of the re-growth products.
When buying a hair regrowth product, the key aspects you need to make note of are,-
1. Cause-
The reason behind your hair loss is the first criteria that you need to determine before going regrowth shopping. This will give you an idea what kind of product will work, unless its hereditary, in which case no matter how much you try, nothing might happen.
2. What works best for your baldness types
When buying a hair re-growth product, check its contents to see if it suits your hair type. If a person has baldness only on the crown, then they will need to invest in a lotion or shampoo that is targeted at that kind of baldness. The root cause for this baldness could be the scalp being dry in that area due to over exposure to sunlight. In that case, the patient can try using a product that comes with sun protection, as this will help his scalp and curb hair loss.
3. Time-
The time it takes for the product to work and results to be visible will vary from person to person. However, you need to get an approximation on the criteria, so you can assess the product and if there are no changes after repeated uses, throw it away and find an alternative that will work for you. You also need to give it time to work, which means anywhere from 4-6months minimum is required.
