How to Stop Thinning Hair - Tips For Finding the Best Thinning and Balding Treatment

By Matthew McAuthor


Wondering how to stop thinning hair so you don't have to live the rest of your life knowing that you are going to go bald? This article will explain how to stop thinning hair and why your hair is thinning and balding to begin with.

Unless you are taking a certain medication or have a unique disease that makes your hair fall out, suffering from massive amounts of traumatic stress, or undergoing some sort of radiation treatment like chemotherapy, you probably are suffering from male or female baldness (also known as androgenetic alopecia). Over 95% of all people that are thinning and balding have androgenetic alopecia, so you are certainly not the only one with hair loss problems.

The reason why you and so many people are thinning and balding is because you actually inherited a certain gene from your mother or father that made your hair follicles extremely sensitive to a certain androgen or hormone in your body called dihydrotestosterone, or DHT. What this does is shrink your hair follicles until they have nothing to do but fall out of your scalp.

Have you started looking at different treatments to stop thinning hair yet? If you have, you've probably noticed that there are HUNDREDS of choices to pick from. But would you believe me if I said that it was actually EASY to find an effective treatment for hair thinning and balding?

How to Stop Thinning Hair and Balding

The key to treating alopecia is to make sure you use a solution that contains one of the only two medications that have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to stop thinning hair. They have done the testing FOR YOU, in hopes that you listen to them and not buy into all the other bogus treatments on the market today.

The two medications that are FDA-approved to stop thinning hair and balding are Finasteride (Propecia) and Minoxidil (found in Rogaine). Finasteride has a bit higher success rate than Minoxidil does, but Finasteride can also cause impotence, erectile dysfunction, and other adverse sexual side effects so you may not want to use it if you are still young, sexually active, or want to have a family. I know that one I decide to get a hair loss treatment, I'd try Minoxidil for at least 6 months because it's the much safer bet.

Now that you know all of this, go put it to good use. The best time to stop thinning hair is NOW because the longer you wait, the less viable options you have at your disposal. Soon enough, the only option for you will be surgical procedures like transplants or laser surgery.

You can read and watch a quick video on Minoxidil, the best hair loss treatments that contain it, and why it's used so often to stop thinning hair by visiting my informative website listed below.
