Stress and Hair Loss


Hair loss is of concern to most people at one point in their lives. When the time comes they want to know how to stop hair loss. Stopping hair loss can become an easy solution when you first notice that you are losing hair. If you ignore this condition hoping it will go away, you are making a big mistake.

Hair loss is a reflection of your general health. It is a major warning that you have poor health. The poor health condition that you might have can be complex and to reverse it will require some work, since this condition has taken a while on your part to create. The other thing that complicates your poor health condition is that there might be a psychological or stress problem that needs correction.

The first thing you need to look at is if you have a lot stress going on. This stress can come from a recent or past change is your personal relationships. These relationships can be at home, with relatives or at work. You could be working late hours working on difficult problems that create a lot of pressure on you. It could be a divorce you going through or a financial crisis. These problems can be worked out but it takes patience and sometimes courage.

Psychological problems are more difficult to work through. These types of problems create a complete imbalance in your body's chemistry and over time create hair loss. Stopping hair loss from this condition requires therapeutic help and a good nutritional and diet program.

Any stress or psychological problems requires a base line of good nutrition and diet, if you want to stop their effects on hair loss. These problems create a massive depletion of vitamins and minerals that are needed for hair health. Some times it is difficult to get into the habit of eating food that you need to stop hair loss. Changing habits that have been instilled in you since birth are not easy to change. You have patterned you eating habits based on your psychological issues and the stress you have in your life.

If you are experiencing stress, than you need to start changing your diet to replace the depleted nutrients caused by stress. The first vitamin you need to supplement with is the B-vitamins. These vitamins are always used up when you are stressed and they are critical in providing you with good hair. Then, you need to supplement with anti-oxidants. Stress and psychological problems create a lot of free radicals in your body. These free radicals lead to poor blood circulation throughout your body and including your scalp.

Most of us have stress and psychological issue we need to take care of. Start looking at how you can reduce these issues and start supplementing with B-vitamins and anti-oxidants so you can prevent or stop hair loss. You can learn what foods contain the B's and anti-oxidants, but you need therapeutic levels of the B's and anti-oxidants and you can not get these levels from food.

Crinagen: Alternative Hair Loss Treatment



Crinagen is a natural topical spray created by Dr. Nassar Razack.
The latest formula of Crinagen now includes Azelaic Acid, Vitamin B6, Zinc acetate, Niacin, Saw Palmetto extract, Ginkgo Biloba extract and Proanthocyanidins from grape seed extract. Crinagen is water based which means it's not likely to penetrate as fast and as effective than if alcohol is used as the solvent. Including emu oil in your Crinagen regimen may solve the problem. It does not contain any of the clinically proven treatments like Minoxidil or Finasteride. The topical is said to have a bad smell which is due to the saw palmetto. Also it stays greasy on the scalp.

The product’s two most main ingredients are Proanthocyanidins and azelaic acid. The manufacture alleges that both of these ingredients reduce DHT content and nourish the scalp’s hair follicles.

Try this contraption to grow hair


As usual I was doing my weekly research on the web when I came across this page.

They are selling a helmet which is supposed to massage your scalp and regrow your hair. The guy even has a patent on it. Here's the site if you don't beleive me. It seems you can only contact him by email.

I guess if you're really desperate send him an email. Maybe he'll give you a few complimentary massages to test it out.
