The understanding about hair loss and hair fall in men and women are quite subjective as the confusion is created in various ways with the unorganized hair fall treatment product market. Many products claim to regrow hairs back and many claims to resolve it within couple of months of usage. Herbal brands for hair fall and hair loss treatments are flooded in the market with disappointing results. Hair loss in fact according to medical science happens due to a particular hormone called DHT or Androgen hormones which generally blocks the blood circulation in the hair follicular unit grafts causing the hair bearing tissues to miniaturize and the thick hair starts becoming thin, weak and eventually leaves the body and the hair follicle reaches the dormant stage and can’t grow any more hair back. In this situation the DHT hormones first starts getting deposited in the hairline of men and women and slowly and gradually reaches the crown area, hence the entire scalp hairs starts thinning and in men baldness occurs due to excessive DHT production. There are basically seven stages of hair-loss according to Norwood Hamilton’s scale of male pattern baldness. Stage 1, 2, 3 are the conditions where we start losing hairs and experience receding hairlines and a patch appearing on the crown. Stage 4 onwards we experience 70% loss of cranial hairs and in stage 5, 6, 7 we experience complete baldness leaving the sides and back. Now when we talk about hair-fall which is common problem in men and women which happens due to our lifestyle issues and poor maintenance of our scalp hairs. Chemically treated hairs, using wrong hair products, poor hygiene, Dandruff causes brittle and weak hairs which tends to fall but grows back. And during hair fall situations we experience dull, dry, frizzy lifeless hairs on our scalp. Hair fall can be controlled by improving our diet, using mild shampoo’s avoiding gels, creams or any other hair styling products, coloring the hairs, straightening the hairs etc. and in cases of hair-loss, using products doesn’t help and we need to switch on to treatments like application of minoxidil solution and then availing oxygen laser therapy every fortnight for next 9 months. In cases of severe hair-loss in men and women, starting regenerative medicine practice platelet rich plasma therapy along with GFC therapy is must to save the existing hairs and allow the growth factors to re build and re structure the ailing hair follicles, which in return after 6-8 sessions of the therapies starts growing thicker strands and the active hair loss stabilizes. On advanced stages of hair-loss where we have already lost the hair follicles, hair restoration method need to be performed which is advanced hair transplants where physically the surgeon extracts hair follicles from the donor area and re plants it back on the recipient areas which starts growing after 3 months and complete the growth cycle by 9-12 months’ time. In cases of advanced stages of hair-loss which complete balding of the cranial zone and the donor site also tends to become weaker, cosmetic hair systems are the best options to regain hair back on the scalp.
