If you are losing your hair do not give up hope. There are many ways you can fight it. First of all stop worrying. Stress is a major factor in hair loss, so the more you worry, the more your  loose your hair. Solution for hair loss ranges from surgery to just having a better diet.

Take hair fiber powder for example:

If your hair has just started thinning than this is just the solution for you. This powder is made specially to attach itself to your existing hair, giving the impression that it is fuller and thicker. This is not a permanent solution, it is meant as a temporary filler until the medication you are taking (Rogaine, Propencia) kicks in. It is quite affordable, prices start at twenty dollars. And the risk for side effects is minimal.

Propencia and Rogaine. These are very good solutions. If you are young and are being plagued by male or female pattern baldness this is the solution for you. These medications are approved by the FDA in the United States of America. Depending on where you live maybe you will need a prescription to buy Propencia. They can be taken individually but they work best in a combo.

If you have been taking them for a few months and they do seem to be working do not worry. It may take about 6 months for this medication to kick in so persevere. The thing with pattern baldness is that timing can save your scalp. The earlier you start treatment, the bigger the chance for it to work.

Surgical Options:
You can choose this option if all others fail and if you can afford it. It can be done by transplanting hair from other areas of your body like your back. Another way is by reducing the scalp. The doctor will remove the bald area from your scalp and stich the remaining areas together.

But please be careful when choosing this option. Do your homework. Inform yourself about the risk and always go to a good doctor. After the said surgery it is recommended to take Propencia to maintain the hair and not let it die off.

A very impressive type of hair transplant is that of micrografts. It is a very delicate procedure where individual hairs are taken and transplanted onto the balding scalp. This method however, is slow and will take many sessions so I repeat: choose your doctor carefully! Not only is it time consuming but it is also expensive ranging from 10 to 20 thousand dollars.

Wigs and Hair pieces:
This option I would not recommend personally. It is a time-honored tradition for balding men to wear wigs. But the wig degrades over time, does not look natural and if discovered it is a great source of shame for many people.

In conclusion there are many ways to fight baldness but one method out of all of them is most effective and its dirt cheap. Do not lose your confidence along with your hair.

    As far as I know, there’s only a few known medication for male pattern baldness, and one of these is Finasteride. It works by inhibiting enzyme activities from converting testosterone into DHT, a kind of substance that triggers hair loss. I haven’t personally known any other possible alternatives that could block DHT.
