Are Natural Hair Loss Treatments A Scam?

Going bald? Are you showing more forehead every year? Are you a man looking to regrow your hair or are you a woman looking for that miracle female hair loss treatment? Men and women of all ages experience hair loss and for them it is no laughing matter. They want to stop the progression of the hair loss and they once more want a full head of hair and they often would prefer a natural hair loss treatment.

You can get confused when you start considering which of all the hair loss treatment products to try. There are shampoos, conditioners, creams, lotions, gels, vitamins, medications and much, much more. The market is full of natural hair loss treatment products. Hang on a second, you must be thinking.

Natural hair loss treatments would be great. They are made from all natural ingredients, they're good for the environment, they won't be introducing foreign chemicals into your body and they'll regrow your hair.  All at the same time!?! Well, maybe and maybe not. There are lots of natural hair loss treatment products out there, and you will find great variability in effectiveness, with many not working at all.

Alternative Medicine

Some alternative medicines have been gaining acceptance recently. These are individuals who would rather use natural resources, supplements and herbs to cure their many maladies instead of going to a doctor who will prescribe man-made medicines. These individuals claim that their treatments work just as good, if not better, than anything a doctor can prescribe. What's more, they are cheaper and they do no harm to the body. However, most supplements and herbs are sold without being evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

Don't bother looking for quality studies to back the claims on the natural hair loss treatments because you probably won't find any. Just like some people benefit from the placebo in a drug study, you might get some results from these products. They may very well work, but most doctors would say that the effectiveness of these products is more the effect of placebo than their actual effectiveness on the human body. That is to say that doctors claim that it's mind over matter that cures you, not the herbs that you buy at your local health store. Are most natural hair loss treatment products similar in this regard? That's right, since they are not evaluated by the FDA and have not undergone any outside testing.

Individuality

Although most claims are unsupported, there may be a natural hair loss treatment that will work for you. However, you need to consider your own individual hair loss. How and how fast you lose your hair can be very different from someone else. Some are further along than others and some lose it for different reasons. For example, for some their hair loss may be genetic, while others may have blow dried their hair too much and therefore damaged the roots or follicles.

However, by all means try these natural hair loss treatment products to determine if they do work for you. They are all natural, they are good for the environment and they are better for you than using foreign chemicals. If you decide to try one of these natural hair loss treatments, be sure to keep your expectations realistic.

If you are able to go through with the process with that mindset, you'll be better prepared if the products don't work for you. Just because these natural hair loss products don't work, however, doesn't mean another won't. Everyone's different. You just never know what will work for you.
