WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MAGICALLY CURE HAIR LOSS, BUT IS THERE A WAY OF PROLONGING THE PROCESS? There are many of us out there that are quite skeptical about some of the hair growth products currently available on the market, and rightly so. There is still no proven formula that 100% cures hair loss. There are however, products that work to slow down the process and in some cases even help to sustain and develop new hair growth on the hairline area and scalp. Our recent survey shows that the vast majority of men opt for hair loss treatments in the form of tablets or capsules. This is followed by scalp therapy type foams, sprays and shampoos. Men seem to be far more skeptical about the scalp therapy treatments working. The most popular selling anti-hair loss foam on the market is Regaine, consisting of 5% Minoxidil - the formula which has in many cases proven to counteract the hair loss process. HG Formula Spray, as covered and reviewed in one of our previous posts , acts as a powerful tr...

IS WAYNE ROONEY STARTING TO LOSE HIS NEW HAIR ALREADY? Picture taken from the Daily Mail online It's been exactly a year since Wayne Rooney splashed £30,000 on a hair transplant and already it seems his new locks are starting to thin. Pictured training with England team mates in preparation for the European Championships in Poland and Ukraine, Rooney was sporting a 'comb over' type hairstyle, just a year after being 'delighted' with the hair transplant procedure.  Rooney had the 'follicular transfer' treatment  in which hair follicles are extracted from lush patches and reinserted where hair is thinning – at a London clinic. Some football fans have speculated that the new comb over hair style is an attempt to cover up the scalp from bald patches and thinning hair.  It's not totally confirmed as to whether Rooney's hair is actually falling out and returning to the stage it was at before the hair transplant, and so only time will tell over the ...

SO WHAT IS IT ABOUT THIS SPRAY THAT MAKES IT SUCH AN EFFECTIVE HAIR LOSS TREATMENT?  HG Formula Spray is the latest anti-hair loss spray on the market that aims to be at the forefront of all hair growth sprays. With its rise in popularity, effective results and glowing reviews, HG Formula Spray continues to grow in stature as one of the leading hair growth products of its kind. As reviewed in a previous post in this blog, HG Formula Spray consists of vital herbs and ingredients that compliment the 10% Minoxidil dosage. Minoxidil is the formula that was initially used for treating patients, but with the accidental discovery that the formula was responsible for new hair growth, it has been used ever since in hair loss treatment products such as Regaine (Rogaine).  Regaine currently has a Minoxidil percentage of between 3%-5% in its serum and foam. The logical theory is that the more Minoxidil you use the better the hair growth results. But the fact of the matter is that if y...

MINOXIDIL IS PROVEN TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP HAIR LOSS AND PROMOTE HAIR REGROWTH   Minoxidil is an antihypertensivevasodilator medication which also slows or stops hair loss Minoxidil is added to many types of hair loss products, but usually in the form of a foam or a spray. The mechanism by which minoxidil promotes hair growth is not fully understood. Minoxidil contains the nitric oxide chemical moiety and may act as a nitric oxide agonist. Similarly, minoxidil is a potassium channel opener, causing hyperpolorization of cell membranes. Minoxidil is less effective when there is a large area of hair loss. In addition, its effectiveness has largely been demonstrated in younger men who have experienced hair loss for less than 5 years. Minoxidil use is indicated for central hair loss only (ie the scalp area) Minoxidil is also a vasolidator - Hypothetically, by widening blood vessels and opening potassium channels, it allows more oxygen, blood, and nutrients to the follicle. This may cause...

Saw Palmetto plant CAN SAW PALMETTO STOP HAIR LOSS? Saw palmetto ( Serenoa repens or Sabal serrulata ) is a dwarf palm plant native to North America. It primarily grows along the Atlantic coast in Georgia and Florida. The active ingredients are believed to be found in the plant's brown-black berries. Saw palmetto is also popular as a herbal remedy for a type of hair loss and baldness called androgenic alopecia, male pattern baldness. This type of hair loss is typically the greatest at the top of the head (scalp area) or around the temples (receding hair line). Although we still don't know exactly how it works, it's believed that it may block an enzyme (5-alpha-reductase) from allowing the hormone testosterone from being converted to another hormone, dihydrotestosterone. Dihydrotestosterone is considered a key contributing factor to the onset and progression of androgenic alopecia and male pattern baldness. Much of saw palmetto's popularity as a remedy...

Bottle of Propecia. PROPECIA CAN BE HIGHLY EFFECTIVE, BUT IT CAN ALSO COME WITH SOME VERY NASTY SIDE-EFFECTS... If you've still not heard of it, Propeica is a tablet form anti-hair loss drug that is clinically proven to combat male pattern baldness. Though tried, tested and proven, Propecia does have a catch - or quite a few actually. Firstly, Propecia is a prescription drug and therefore cannot be legally purchased without being prescribed by a doctor. Secondly, many users of Propecia have complained of nasty side-effects which accompany the drug. These side-effects include: - Low sex drive and erectile dysfunction - Complaints of skin rashes on the face especially - Weight gain Like most men suffering from hair loss and looking for a cure, you'll probably have been quite put off Propecia already, just from knowing about some of the potential side-effects it carries. But, like with all potent and unnatural ingredients, they do come with a catch. This is why naturally made hai...
