Significant hair loss has a natural solution

The normal rate of daily hair loss is about 50 to 100 hairs a day, according to the Mayo Clinic. Given that the average person has about 100,000 hairs on their head, that 50 to 100 hairs will never be noticed.

But what if you are losing more than that number of hairs? What if the hair that grows in is finer and thinner and poorly rooted? You could be on track for hair loss and thinning, unless you take some proactive steps.

One of the best steps that you can take is to clean your scalp well, using a natural shampoo designed to help alleviate and prevent hair loss. SureThik Shampoo is an ideal shampoo for those with the most common forms of hair loss. This shampoo does everything you want from a good quality shampoo, in addition to providing the most well-known and effective natural hair regrowth ingredients as part of its formula.

However, a complete solution requires more than proper cleansing – it also requires a therapeutic treatment that will stay on the scalp (rather than be rinsed away) to help address the key reasons for hair loss and thinning. In this case, you can turn to SureThik Hair Serum. This combination provides a one-two punch to hair loss, with nutrition for the scalp and herbal ingredients that are based on documented research.

The SureThik Serum uses a proprietary blend of nutrients and oils that not only nourish, but also help to protect the hair follicle from two key culprits in hair loss: Dihydrotestosterone, or DHT; and, loss of circulation to the scalp.

Research shows that one of the most common issues with hair loss is DHT. DHT binds to hair follicles, blocking off blood supply, oxygen and nutrients. DHT basically starved the follicle, which then cannot continue to grow hair. The SureThik Serum helps to reduce the amount of DHT present around the hair follicle with propagain, a combination of natural DHT blockers, which protects your ability to grow hair. Our natural serum replaces such pharmaceutical products as Propecia, delivering results at a fraction of the cost and without resorting to a drug.

Another drug known to help with hair loss is Rogaine. Rogaine grows hair by increasing blood flow to the scalp. SureThik Serum also addresses this area, but with a unique blend of Capsicum and Rosemary extracts. These extracts are able to increase circulation, without the nasty side effects of Rogaine. Good circulation will help to support hair follicles, resulting in more hair.

The SureThik Serum can be applied to the scalp 1-2 times a day. Apply directly to the scalp. Use light massage to enhance absorption.

Tips to Avoid Hairloss

Hair loss may not be a problem now, but you may have family members that have lost fullness or thickness in their hair, so it’s natural to ask: ”How do you avoid going down the same road?”

 

An important part of your plan to keep you hair should be SureThik Hair Stimulating Shampoo. This product is designed to address key factors that promote hair loss:

 

  1. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) – this hormone underlies a lot of hair loss issues in both men and women. In fact, it’s a normal part of human metabolism. However, if you end up producing too much DHT, it can attach itself to the roots of your hairs resulting in thinner and finer hair during each growth cycle, until your hair no longer grows. The presence of DHT at the follicle slowly starves the hair of blood, oxygen and nutrients! The answer to this issue is an ingredient that fights against DHT. SureThik Shampoo includes Propogain, as well as the herbals Saw Palmetto and Nettles extract. These natural ingredients are alternatives to Rogaine and Propecia. New research shows that Propagain is effective in promoting healthy hair growth.

 

  1. Low Circulation – scalp circulation delivers nutrients and vital factors to the hair follicle. Without good circulation, hair follicles die as they are starved by the tiny blood vessels that feed them.  Why worry about circulation? Research indicates that balding men have as much as 3 times less circulation in the scalp as men with healthy hair! SureThik specifically addresses the problem of circulation with a proprietary blend of Capsicum and Rosemary, which improve circulation and ensure that your hair continues to get a healthy blood supply.

 

  1. Clogged Follicles – Everyone’s scalp will produce sebum, which is the natural oil that lubricates the skin and hair of all humans. However, if your scalp produces too much sebum, the hair follicles can become plugged, resulting in reduced hair growth.  SureThik Shampoo is designed to keep follicles clear and open, with ingredients that cleanse the scalp of existing sebum build-up, while exfoliating dead skin cells so that they are removed before they can clog hair follicles. The end result is a healthy scalp, and a healthy environment for your hair to grow thick and strong.

 

When you use SureThik Shampoo, even before hair loss starts, you ensure that your scalp and hair remain healthy and that key conditions that contribute to hair loss are stopped before they begin!

Hair Transplantation for Women

When you think of hair transplantation, you usually think of a balding man who has completely lost the hair on the top of his head. However, that’s not the only person that qualifies for transplant procedure. In fact, women can and do get hair transplants.

Hair transplantation is rapidly gaining increased acceptance among female hairloss patients worldwide. The Society of Plastic Surgeons says that nearly 5,000 women received hair transplants in 2008, which was an increase of over 20 % since 2000.  Since this statistic only counts the women who consulted plastic surgeons, the total number of female hair transplant patients is likely much higher. Still, only 2-5 % of women with hair loss are good candidates for hair transplantation.

Critical to the evaluation of whether you are a candidate for hair transplantation is whether the hair loss is permanent and whether an underlying medical condition is causing the hair loss. Many conditions, from iron anemia to thyroid issues, must be identified and treated first before considering a transplant. Hair loss from many medical conditions may not be permanent, and therefore would not require a transplant.

Note that permanent hair loss is often caused by conditions such as Lupus, Lichen Planus or localized damage to the scalp that has permanently destroyed hair follicles. A few women may also exhibit a male pattern of baldness that could be addressed by a transplant. For those women who have permanent hair loss caused by traction alopecia (hair loss due to styling with tight ponytails, cornrows or braided weave extensions), hair transplantation is likely an option.

At issue for the ultimate success of any hair transplant is whether you have an available area of healthy, stable donor hair. Hair on other parts of the scalp must be thick enough to donate to thinning or balding areas. However, if you are experiencing overall thinning of your hair, you may not be a good candidate. Meeting with our qualified and experienced surgeon for a free consultation is the best way to determine whether you are a good candidate, and which procedures are best suited for your needs.

In the end, the success of your transplant depends on two key criteria: the amount of hair that you have available to “harvest” for the transplant; and, the quality of the hair for donation.

Of course, a skilled surgeon is critical to a good end result. Working with Dr Nelson Ferreira is one of the best ways to ensure your procedure is done professionally. Using the latest technology and techniques, Dr Ferreira has performed thousands of hair transplants, and is constantly working to keep at the forefront of the best new hair transplant developments. His track record with satisfied patients speaks for itself.
