This may seem like a strange topic for me, but I’m a strange person so maybe it’s not so strange.
Do you know anyone who is bald or balding? I can think of one or two people I know but really no immediate family except for maybe a slight receding hairline. Did you know some women and children are affected by hair loss? I thought short of chemotherapy it was pretty much limited to men.
It has basically been proven that baldness is usually a hereditary problem, at least in men and women. If a child has hair loss they should be taken to a doctor. We’ve all seen the Hair Club for Men commercials, and admit it, you’ve laughed at the guy who says “I’m not only the Hair Club President, I’m also a client.” But to the person dealing with hair loss, it has to be tough to decide what to do about it.
We’re all aware of the dreaded “comb-over.” How many high school science teachers had one? I think it might be a requirement to teach high school science. Then there are hair plugs. All kinds of gypsy serums, and old-wives tales involving farm animals that will help you re-grow your hair. Some still just shave it all off (probably the man, not too many women doing that) and avoid the issue altogether.
But there are also some treatment that contain a clinically tested ingredient approved by the FDA and according to their claims are proven to regrow hair. A product called Provillus is one such hair loss treatment. It claims to have an almost 98% success rate and a money back guarantee. For more information you can check out some Provillus reviews.
I’ve never tried this product and I don’t know anyone who has, but I know if I was losing my hair, I’d certainly be taking a closer look at it.
About Kim
How does my hair grow? NOT… and I can’t even get away with the comb over anymore (according to my wife I never did) At my age though, mid 50′s, I’m just going to let it ride. I’ve seen it in generations past.
I used to have very thick hair. Even a basic elastic tie didn’t work well. Over the past 5 yrs or so I have noticed my hair thinning out. Not enough to be noticeable but thinning none the less.
I’ve noticed that the older I get my hair has been thinning, but my husband is halfway bald already. Hid dad and grandad were both bald with a bit of side hair and my son already has a little spot forming, so he knows what is coming. One time when he was visiting he was grooming and using what I thought was mouse (and a bit strange) so I asked if I could use some. He blushed and then admitted it was Rogaine!! I’ll have to tell him about this product.
great stuff and looks like medical hair restoration is possible through hair transplants. But the main thing is quality surgeons. having quality surgeons with good technicians can solve the problem of hair failing.
I know how this can be. My hair’s been thinning and i’m not bald but have I’d say a 60% hair loss, I dread if it comes to being bald. Diabetes, medicines or maybe hormones may have something to do with it in my case . I used to have Beautiful thick thick hair up till my mid 40′s.
I am one of the few women I know who suffers from hair loss due to hereditary reasons. On my Dad’s side the women have thin hair or lose hair. I started going slightly bald in the front where most women have bang in high school. It’s horrible. I can usually try to hide it, but when I think I did it well I can see a photo taken of myself and all you see is scalp through the little big of hair.
For me, it’s been hard. Part of being a women, as far as the world has shown us, is having full and beautiful hair you can have cut, colored, and styled. I don’t have that. I cannot do much with my hair at all. A stylist once told me that if I colored my hair at all, ever, it is bound to make the little bit of hair I have up top fall out.
As for treatment, I don’t do anything. I am who I am. I am loved by my family and friends. My man finds me sexy and loves me and makes me feel like a woman everyday. So, I have come to terms with who I am, even if that means being mostly bald in the front area of my head. I feel like, if God wanted me to be different, he would have made me different. Ya know?
Great post. Great great post!
I think that’s awesome (not about the hair loss but about your confidence). Too many people in this world are hung up on body image “perfection” and in the end it is the last thing that matters in life!
I agree. I won’t lie and say I am never bothered by it, but overall I am at peace.
baldness is certainly not a problem on my family, thank goodness!
Oh. I thought you were going bald. I came to express my sympathies.
I am thankful you are not bald.
Sometimes I think it would be easier not to have to deal with washing drying and styling my hair (it is very fine and without hairspray is a nightmare). But I have an odd shaped head so bald wouldn’t suit me.
But thanks for your sympathies. LOL
My youngest has Alopecia Areata. He’s got a bunch of bald spots and at this point I just wish it would all be gone already. We’ve tried a bunch of different prescriptions but I don’t think Provillus was one of them.
Val,
It is supposed to be more of a natural treatment, though I’m not sure it is for kids. It says men and women.
