Nobody wants to come to terms with it but it's true... Your hairline just isn't what it used to be when you were younger.
Does this sound relatable?
If so do not panic, all is not lost. There is still time for you to do something about it!
Yes as we age it is common for our bodies and looks to change with time. While this may not be ideal in a lot of aspects, this is life. And as you may feel helpless and hopeless do not fear, because if it is impending hair loss heading your way, you CAN do something about it before it's too late and you succumb to baldness..
What can I do about hair loss?
Whether you still have a thick head of hair or your hair is thinning it is important to take action, as this can preserve the hair you have and even increase and regrow thinning hair. Resulting in you regaining any self confidence you may have lost when your hair began to fall.
So let's get to the point what can you do?
Well there is no one step secret to tackling hair loss, and believe me this is a very good thing for many different reasons.
For example, many people swear by using topical minoxidil daily, while others may preach the wonders of rosemary oil. These are just a couple of examples of ways in which people decide to tackle hair loss but with huge amounts of scientific research and even more research yet to be concluded, we have been provided with a myriad of different items that can potentially regrow your hair.
Allow me to provide you with some ways to prevent/tackle hair loss.
Minoxidil
One of the most scientifically backed product to tackle hair loss is minoxidil. It can either exist in a pill form or as a topical solution that you apply to your scalp daily.
Whichever type of minoxidil you decide to use the bottom line is that if you are using it daily, after a few months you should begin to see hair growing where it used to. Data gathered shows that 40-60% of men using minoxidil reported hair regrowth after a few months.
It's no wonder minoxidil is so popular when it is able to boast success rates like this. So could this be something worth integrating into your daily routine?
Rosemary oil
The new kid on the block has been kicking up quite a storm in the hair loss world in recent years.
With countless testimonials demonstrating rosemary oil's hair regrowth properties it is no wonder it has become so common.
But is it worth using?
We think so, as although it is a relatively new treatment for tackling hair loss there is actually scientific backing for rosemary oil's use in tackling hair loss.
A 2015 study revealed that applying rosemary oil twice daily to thinning areas of the scalp resulted in a significant increase in hair count after 6-months. These astonishing results found that rosemary oil was equally effective as minoxidil in causing hair regrowth with fewer side effects!
So why is rosemary oil still a debated topic?
Well since 2015 there have been very few subsequent studies on rosemary oil as a product for hair growth. But ask yourself why?... Could it be that the big pharmaceutical companies are scared of a natural hair loss treatment that could overshadow their own products and harm their revenue?
Who knows?
But if you are looking for a cheap, natural, and scientifically promising product to tackle your hair loss concerns, we highly recommend that you start with applying rosemary oil to your scalp daily.
Just remember to use a rosemary oil that is blended with other carrier oils such as the rosemary oil we offer at DDS Revival Solutions, otherwise you could cause some serious irritation to your scalp if using pure rosemary oil.
Why derma stamping is a must
To keep as much hair as you can you need to make sure that your hair routine is as effective as possible. This is because if you want results and to keep that thick head of hair you need to be disciplined and have an effective plan.
One way in which you can increase the odds of regrowing your hair is to microneedle your scalp. This may sound scary but it really isn't..Microneedling is simply the process of introducing micro punctures to the scalp. To do this you must use a derma stamp. Derma stamps are superior to derma rollers as derma stamps penetrate the skin vertically, reducing tears and damage typically caused by inaccurate punctures from derma rollers.
Micropunctures allow your topical medication of choice (minoxidil/rosemary oil/something else?) to absorb into the hair follicles more effectively.
Additionally, micropunctures cause increased blood flow to the scalp and stimulate growth factor production resulting in increased nourishment and stimulation of hair follicles.
Furthermore, it is suggested by hair loss experts that derma stamping may cause dormant hair follicles to become active.
So whatever your hair growth routine is we highly recommend that you incorporate an adjustable derma stamp into it to maximise hair growth.
