3 Hair Loss Questions Answered

Can You Make Your Hair Grow Faster

Maybe you tried a short hairstyle like a bob and now you’ve realized you don’t care for that style.  You want your long, flowing locks back. Sadly, there is no secret to getting hair to grow faster. There are products out there that claim to increase the hair growth rate, but what they actually encourage is hair growth. They give your hair the nutrients it needs to grow at its fastest rate, but it doesn’t increase your full hair rate. Look for products that include zinc in them. Biotin is also another important nutrient. If you are getting enough nutrients, your hair should grow, but don’t expect to see inches every week.

Am I Losing More Hair Than I Should Be?

Hair loss is not the same for everyone. The average person will lose 50 or more strands of hair each day. This is just part of the normal hair growth cycle. During this hair growth cycle, you can expect to see a certain amount of hair fall out in a certain amount of time, but that hair will grow back after the period of dormancy.

If your hair shedding happens in clumps, then this might indicate a nutrient disorder or perhaps the side effects of medication and you should talk to your doctor.

Can I Stop Male Pattern Baldness from Happening?

The FDA has approved treatments that can help you maintain the hair you have and prevent further hair loss. If you notice you are starting to have thinning hair, you should see a hair replacement specialist to learn more.
