When talking about hair loss, the first thing that comes up is the fact that your father or your grandfather was bald as a knob, and therefore you are also predisposed to hair loss. Heredity isn't the only reason for hair loss. There are several reasons, that can be anything from stress to diet, and the fact of the matter is that hair loss can often be reversed.
It is often said that fighting hair loss is as much as an act of prevention, as it is of reversal. That couldn't be more true, as the sooner you can start the process of preventing hair loss, the less you'll have to worry about reversing it.
When I first starting seeing my hair start thinning, I took a good look at what my father and grandfather, who are both bald, were doing and decided to do the opposite. For the most part, I have been successful. First, I noticed that my father and grandfather both constantly wore hats. Although I like wearing ballcaps, I stopped wearing them. Then after seeing pictures of my fathers long flowing hair of the 60's, I found out how he washed it and conditioned it pretty much daily. This sounds gross, but I stopped washing my hair.
Every time I washed my hair I noticed that the shower drain would have more and more hair around it. That's when I realized that if I didn't wash my hair, there was no hair around the drain, and it wasn't falling out of my head! My daily activities and job does not really get my hair very dirty, and since I have normal hair (not oily) I could actually go 4 or 5 weeks without any hair washings. Now when I wash my hair, I just use cold water, and go lightly with my fingertips.
It works for me. No hats, so the scalp can breathe. No heavy regular hair washings with soap, just a good cold water rinsing. I am in my 50's now and have more hair than my 40 year old brother. I think that these two methods work.
There are other things that you can do as well, like limiting your stress levels, which will help more than your hair loss, and by taking special hair vitamins.
You can regrow lost hair if you are past the "prevention" point. Find out how at the authors blog site http://hairebook.blogspot.com/
