Getting the Right Hair Growth Product

Even the sensational icon Lady Gaga suffers from hair loss. She tries all her might to conceal that with makeup. Now her manager is probably invoking divine powers to find the right hair growth product that can aid Gaga with this plight (that is, if she really considers  it so). Still if her problem is yours, then here are some tips to get that right product straight into your medicine cabinets.

Find the Source of the Problem

Gaga might be suffering from a temporary type of hair loss and yours could be another case. Her image  as a wild artist, coming up with notorious hairstyles, could have triggered her hair loss. This can only be traction alopecia and chemical trauma. While we can’t be so sure, you have to know there are different causes to hair loss in the scalp.

The most common one is androgenetic alopecia which has something to do with genetics and the male hormones. Almost every hair growth product is made for this type of hair loss.

Androgenetic alopecia occurs when the testosterone (the male sex hormone) interacts with the enzyme 5-alpha reductase to form dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT formation near the hair follicles causes hair loss. Androgenetic alopecia tends to occur in 2 out of 5 men in their mid-20s, and 1 out of 5 women in their mid-30s.

Another common type of hair loss is alopecia areata. It is characterized by the patches of hair loss all over the body. This is an auto-immune disease which may not require treatment since it is only temporary.
