Posted on June 11, 2009 with 1 Comment
If you suffer from slow growing hair or thinning, you’re joining millions who do also.
Slow growth is generally a result of heredity, hormone shifts, use of contraceptives (oral), DHT and sometimes scalp diseases - alopecia, dermatitis, scalp psoriasis, and in some rare instances, use of damaging hair products.
If you have sudden slowing or shedding, you might consider getting an analysis done by an approved Trichologist or your personal dermatologist.
A dermatologist should be able to identifiy typical symptoms of scalp or skin diseases, determine a diagnosis, as well recommend proper treatment. A Trichologist is a researcher and practitioner who studies the hair and scalp. Though a bit more difficult to find, they are generally certified and have been required to study for years. They are often well versed in various symptoms and often provide effective solutions.
Sudden slowing of growth in women is most related to hormonal changes - those that occur during or after pregnancy, menopause, changes to or beginning birth control, and from some medications.
For men, the cause is often onset of DHT accumulation. Interestingly, using the correct hair products can either arrest, stop or reverse slowness - and are an excellent solution for good hair growth.
The best hair growth products help stimulate regrowth while providing overall nutrition to the scalp and follicles. Hair vitamins, root stimulants, as well as shampoos and conditioners can help rejuvenate improved growth, while increasing thickness and shine.
