Hair transplants, diets or herbal pills:
Which anti-balding treatment is best for YOU?
Losing locks has been linked to a lack of
confidence, anxiety and in extreme cases even depression.
A recent study found over half of British
Men would prefer to keep a full head of hair than have a supermodel wife or get
a promotion at work.
From products to procedures, there are a
plethora of anti-balding treatments on the market; the sheer volume of which
can be overwhelming.
According to Expert Trichologist Sally-Ann
Tarver, a consultant Trichologist a The Cotswold Trichology Centre &
Theradome, there is no 'one size fits all' approach when it comes to preventing
or minimising hair-loss.
So how do you know which treatment plan is
best for you, and which ones to avoid?
Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, Dr
Tarver examined the most popular anti-balding treatments on the market to
determine the best candidate for each.
Hair Loss Shampoos
Hair loss shampoos cannot stop hair loss.
Even if they contain ingredients thought to be beneficial to hair growth, the
contact time of shampoo on the scalp is so short any beneficial ingredients
would be rinsed away before they had time to penetrate the hair follicle. They
can however have a beneficial cosmetic effect and give the hair a thicker
appearance. My favourite thickening shampoo and conditioner on the market today
is Nanogen Thickening Shampoo.
Best for: People wanting to give their hair
fuller appearance, not to replace lost follicles or lessen balding.
Nutritional and Herbal Pills
Supplements can only help slow or stop hair
loss if it is a deficiency of a particular nutrient that is causing the
increased hair loss. For example, a large proportion of women suffer with iron
deficiency thus of the best supplements Œfor hair¹ on the market is Florisene
because it contains a large amount of iron, which causes hairloss in women.
