There has been lots of talking about the millions of people who are looking their hair and the potential to bring it back. With the hormonal changes of aging comes a decrease in the number of active hair follicles. Though this is an essentially universal change in all of us, a number of hormonal, genetic, or disease states make some of us lose hair earlier in life. Male pattern baldness affects a large portion of the population especially before the age of fifty. Female pattern hair loss is generally a change to thinning hair rather than just falling out, and is more noticeable on the top of the head.

There are many different options that experts are suggesting that help to combat thinning hair. The number one thing you can do is to find out why you are losing your hair. This can give you the peace of mind that you require in order to determine what your next step is. If it is something that is only cosmetic than you might have a slim chance of recovering some lost hair perhaps. Other physical reasons include hormonal balances over or under-active thyroids and certain fungal infections can all result in hair loss. Hair loss may also signal some underlying problem like diabetes or lupus. Only an expert can help you with that assessment.

Often they state that you can improve your hair through diet. Eat food that is rich in biotin. Because a broad array of nutrients, including vitamin C, iron, biotin, FOLATE and zinc, seem to play roles in hair growth, some experts recommend taking a multivitamin/mineral supplement to cover all your nutritional bases. There are so many natural treatments out there that have claims to work for consumers, yet they never seem to get any results. On the other hand there are also tons of products that claim to stop hair loss, reactive dormant damaged hair, promote healthy hair re-growth. The key lies in your own hands.
