People suffering hair loss for the first time face a barrage of so called hair loss solutions that do nothing else but to increase tension and worry which in turn exasperates the situation even more.  With that said however, how do you find out what works and what doesn’t and are they all myths to be avoided at all costs?  Hair loss, like weight loss, is an emotive subject that has lent itself to much abuse over the years simply because many sufferers become desperate and tend to want to believe what is placed before them without wanting to question the reality of the situation at hand.
Those of us, who have gone through the heartache of trying every hair loss solution we come across that promises to be the answer to the problem that we have been seeking to overcome, only suffer increased  disappointment when we are finally forced to accept the fact that it was just another of the myriad of money making ‘cons’ out there in today’s market.
How then can a person be wary of these ‘traps’ and go straight to a proven successfully true hair loss solution that is known to work.
The answer is that you must first determine the cause of your problem.  It is a total waste of time trying out one solution after another if the underlying cause is not determined and treated first.  Once the cause is discovered you can then begin to seek out the cure be it pharmaceutically based or a more traditional remedy of the type that is now coming back into serious consideration by many.
Once you have accepted the cause of your own premature loss of hair you will be better placed to seek out the cure which may well be that of laser treatment or even hair transplant  but remember that men and women often have different underlying causes of hair loss as many women suffer such a dilemma during pregnancy and even menopause.  To find out more you must visit the following site.

For many men in the advanced stages of hair loss their only real true option is hair transplantation surgery. Unfortunately for them they have for some reason not acted when their hair started to thin. I’ve spoken to many men that never took action when the started to lose hair. Some of the most common reasons that emerged were :

• Afraid to face the truth about their hair loss. (Didn’t want confirmation that they were actually balding) Sounds ridiculous but it’s true a high percentage just hope the problem will go away.
• Believed that all solutions out there are just money making scams.
• Believed it’s their fate and they just have to accept it.
• Afraid of getting bad results or disfigurement.
• Keep putting it off for a few months. (Usually over financial reasons. As they dont take the time to educate them selves about the hair loss solutions out there, they wrongly assume that all treatments are very expensive.
• Hair loss treatments are for rich and famous people only. Would you ever see Brad Pitt bald ?

Saddest thing is, if they had taken a little time to educate themselves about their option they would see that the most effective hair loss prevention solution would cost them less than $1 dollar per day. There is a 99% chance they would have been able to halt the balding process straight away. They would get to keep all their hair as the hair loss cause, i.e genetic programming prepositions and dht would never be let take effect on the hair follicles.

Some pre hair restoration tips

If you are in a position where you have lost a considerable amount of hair and are considering hair surgery, I urge you the bear in mind the following :

1. Make sure you are consulted by a qualified hair restoration surgeon. Sales men/women are going to promis you a full head of hair, any thing to make a sale and commission.
2. Realize that you are not restoring old hair, you are replacing it with hair from the backs and sides of your head which is usually in plentiful supply. Obviously the more bald you are, the more donation hair is needed. This means that your results will be fairly scattered as your donor hair can only cover so much area.
3. Make sure surgeon has plenty of happy clients.
4. Get your solicitor to run background check to see if there have been any mal practice cases etc taken against hair surgery provider.
5. If you are always procrastinating about your consultation at least start taking Provillus to ensure no more hair is lost and thinning hairs are restored.

I was lucky enough to get a consultation from a very reputable surgeon in Dublin. I’d hear this man talk on a radio show and was intrigued by his honest approach. He really let loose on the dark sides of the industry and gave some great advice. I was 23 when I had my forst consultation with him. I went in there all guns blazing determined to get a surgery appointment, I’d even got provision for a loan o go towards costs which I’d estimated from the information he gave on the radio show.

I was a very lucky man to have arranged that consultation as It really got me on the right track for taking hold of my hair loss.

The surgeon told me I was too young to have hair surgery and that there was also no need because my hair loss wasn’t significant enough to merit surgery.

Instead, I was  given a course of dht blockers and rogain foam. Upon leaving we arranged for another consultation in 12 months to see how dht blockers and rogain was working. I was also to contact him is i noticed any side effects like, tiredness etc persist after a few weeks. I reliougly tool my pills and applied the foam every day and after 12 months when I visited the good doctor again, It was a very short consultation. He said the results speak for themselves and to just continue taking the treatment.

I am so grateful to this man to this very day. His surgery is always busy but the hair restoration treatment patients are usually over 30’s with advanced hair loss and dead follicular areas. By him being honest and basically turning away my money which was practically on the table, he saved me an unnecessary treatment and doing more damage to my existing hair.

This is also the main reason I set up this site. I want to educate as many people as possible especially those who are in the early stages of hair loss. I will work hard to provide you with great information and help you avoid mistakes and scams. My hope is that I will soon be getting lots of emails form people that are as grateful to me as i am to my Doctor in Dublin.

Thanks to modern technology and science their has been incredible true knowledge gained and progress made.

They use clever marketing techniques, sometimes even get celebrities to endorse their products, make a huge financial profit, disappear and move on to their next money making quick buck scams. The fact that there is well documented true success stories make it easier for people to fall into the trap of not doing proper research for their hair loss worries. The slightest bit of hair loss education will enable you to spot the scams a mile off.

In almost ever country world wide today there are many reputable hair transplant clinics and specialists. Hair restoration surgery is certainly a last resort as It is the process of transplanting donor hair from the back and sides of the head to the bald area. The problem is that there is only so much donor hair available. Hair transplantation is really the only option for people who have suffered complete hair loss in parts of their scalp. Hair transplantation is also very expensive : usually $4000 for approx 2000 hair grafts. Careful research needs to be done when considering hair replacement surgery as done improperly the surgery can leave you with disastrous results.

Make sure you practice the following when looking in to hair replacement surgery

• Make sure your surgeon is very reputable and has lots of positive case studies and testimonials. If they can’t show you this much quickly move on.
• When being consulted, make sure you are consulting with a qualified surgeon only and not a sales person for the clinic. They are just out to make a sale and not do whats best for you. Some of the best clinics even turn away potential patients if they feel their hair loss is not advanced enough or if they are too young.
