Hair Loss Can Happen To Both Sexes

If you have never been faced with losing your hair, you may not know how debilitating the feeling can be. Imagine constantly going out in public wondering if others are looking at your head, imagine having to wear hats and other head covers so that people don't see your receding hair line and bald spots, and imagine watching movies and TV with envy every time you see a movie star with a full head of glorious hair.

This is what people who are experiencing hair loss go through on a daily basis. There are many commercials on TV and there are products sold at  your local stores that claim to be the cure all hair loss treatment that will help stop hair loss or they even claim to help you regrow your hair. You may not notice these commercials and products if you're not facing hair loss, but the people that are facing it certainly do notice them. Do these hair loss treatments work and, if they do, how much do they cost?

Both Sexes Suffer Hard From Hair Loss

If you're not facing hair loss, you can think that it's only a male problem. Women, after all, are blessed with never experiencing hair loss; right? That couldn't be further from the truth. Women all over the world face hair loss. They may have receding hair lines just like men or they may be losing their hair in splotches which leads to embarrassing bald spots. For men, from time to time it's trendy to shave all of your hair off to go bald. Some movie stars and good looking people are bald: Vin Diesel for example. However, for women, hair loss can be especially devastating. Women view long, luxurious hair as a sign of beauty and femininity. That's why women hair care products do so well in the market place. So if you think hair loss is only a male problem, you should think again.

Treatments

If you're looking for hair loss products, you'll find creams, gels, pills, vitamins and more that claim to stop or cure hair loss. They have hair clubs, and hair hospitals that you can join that will help you regrow your hair so that you can once more look younger, healthier and so that you can feel better about yourself. Do these treatments work? Scientists are torn between two camps. Some claim that baldness is genetic and that there's not much you can do about it except to get hair plugs, get a toupee or have hair transplants. Others say these products can work and they do work and they have proof in actual human testing guinea pigs to prove it. However, it's sad that there are still many snake oil salesmen out there who will gladly take advantage of someone going through hair loss to make a few bucks. Some treatments may work but there are enough scams out there to give the entire industry a bad name.

If you're experiencing or facing hair loss, it's adviced that you do plenty of research before you spend a dime. You could go broke falling for scams, following false promises and hanging on to false hopes. However, you must realize that it's what's on the inside that counts and that hair loss is not the end of the world. You should learn to be happy with yourself the way you are right now. If you can accomplish that, you'll be a much happier person; even if you are a man or a woman losing your hair.
