<h2>Real Provillus Reviews From Real Provillus Users</h2>
<p>On this Provillus review page, we&#8217;re going to take a look at multiple Provillus reviews from a variety of men and women who have had personal experience with the product.</p>
<p>It is worth noting that the opinions about Provillus are varied, but leaning more toward a favorable outcome. Most Provillus reviews, in other words, are quite positive. But I won&#8217;t only show its good points, as that would not serve you well in making a quality decision.</p>
<p>So we have lots of great information to go through. I will start off by sharing a Provillus review article that I was able to find online that I think is of quite good quality and seems very sincere and helpful. I hope you enjoy it.</p>

<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br />
Okay, so here&#8217;s the article&#8230;</p>
<h2>Don&#8217;t Buy Provillus Until You Read This Provillus Review!</h2>
<p>By <span style="color: #000000;"><a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Martin_Schoebert"><span style="color: #000000;">Martin Schoebert</span></a></span></p>
<p>Over the past couple of years a lot has been said about Provillus. Some people hate, some love it, and some sites simply give outrageous claims about Provillus and other natural hair loss treatments.</p>
<p>So after buying and using it for the past year, this is my unbiased and honest Provillus review and experience with the product.</p>
<p><strong><em>What is Provillus?</em></strong></p>
<p>Provillus is claimed to be one the top natural hair loss treatments on the market. However, like most health products, there is a chance it may not work for you. Nothing works 100% of the time for everyone &#8211; our genetic make-up is just too diverse for any perfect, universal health product to exist! And that&#8217;s a fact!</p>
<p><strong><em>Any potential problems with Provillus?</em></strong></p>
<p>1) <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Can take up to 6 months:</span> Although it only took about 2 or 3 months for my hair loss to slow down and for new hair to appear on my bald spot, for some people it could take up to 6 months to see any noticeable results. I guess it all depends on your genetics, general well-being, and how soon you start the treatment.</p>
<p>2) <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Not 100% effective:</span> With that said, Provillus sometimes may not work for you at all. Look, no treatment, no matter how advanced it is, can work for everyone 100% of the time. Our bodies are way too different for the perfect cure to ever exist!</p>
<p>3) <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Possible side-effects:</span> Although Provillus claims to have no side-effects, sometimes people do not follow directions and they take a double or even triple dosage, thinking it will speed up the results. This is NOT recommended &#8211; it can cause conditions like a dry and itchy scalp, and sometimes more severe reactions like chest-pain and dizziness. But if you do what they tell you, it is unlikely you will have any side-effects &#8211; unless you are allergic to one of the ingredients, of course.</p>
<p><strong><em>So why did I buy Provillus then?</em></strong></p>
<p>There were a number of reasons why I and many other hair loss sufferers settled on using Provillus:</p>
<p>1) <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Safe, natural, cheap alternative: </span> First off, Provillus and other hair loss products are the safest and cheapest options. If you think custom wigs and hair pieces can run into the hundreds of dollars; and hair transplant surgery is a long, painful $10,000 procedure that isn&#8217;t covered by your health insurance.</p>
<p>2) <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Reliable, quality ingredients:</span> Provillus is one of the few products that contains BOTH the FDA-approved ingredient, Minoxidil, which helps block the production of DHT (the hair loss hormone); and the naturally-occurring Azelaic Acid that stimulates new hair growth. Not to mention other natural hair loss herbs and vitamins, like Saw Palmetto, Biotin, Pumpkin oil extract and many others&#8230;</p>
<p>3) <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Separate formula for men and women:</span> Since Provillus is scientifically formulated to take our varying hormones into account, there is a separate formula for men, and Provillus for women &#8211; this makes it safer and gives you a better chance of treating your hair loss.</p>
<p>4) <span style="text-decoration: underline;">90 Day money-back guarantee:</span> Provillus is NOT some fly-by-night company that is going to take your money and run with it. It is a reputable brand that believes in helping as many men and women as possible. That is why they offer a 90-day money-back guarantee, so if you are not happy with your results, you can get all your money back.</p>
<p>5) <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Discreet, online order:</span> Many hair loss sufferers (me included) are embarrassed about our hair loss, and do not really want anyone knowing we a taking a product to treat our balding. Thankfully, Provillus requires no prescription, and it can be ordered discreetly online from the comfort of your home. And when the package comes, nobody will know that it is a hair loss product &#8211; the packaging is discreet, and your bill will merely be from Provillus.</p>
<p><em><strong>The Bottom Line?</strong></em></p>
<p>At the end of the day, either you will love Provillus or you&#8217;ll hate it. But if you are a man or woman with hair loss issues that are affecting your social life and happiness, then it is best to do something about it and <span style="color: #000000;"><a href="http://provillusofficial.com/" target="_new"><span style="color: #000000;">buy Provillus</span></a></span> or any other natural hair loss product. With a 90 day refund, you really have nothing to lose. I also heard they started running a promotion, where you can get 2 months worth of Provillus for FREE. Perhaps another reason to check it out?</p>
<p>If you are not quite sure yet, you may find this <span style="color: #000000;"><a href="http://provilluswarning.com/provillus-warning/" target="_new"><span style="color: #000000;">Provillus</span></a></span> review really helpful &#8211; there&#8217;s some great info about how to prevent hair loss there too! Best of luck to you!<br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>

<h1>DHT Hair Loss Treatment</h1>
<p>For a really long time I had been hearing about this dreaded dht stuff and how it was the major contributor to my thinning hair. But I didn&#8217;t get it. No one could explain dht to me in a manner that I could fully appreciate. I knew that dht &#8220;choked&#8221; the hair follicles and rendered them unable to take in necessary nourishment. But I didn&#8217;t comprehend how. Until recedntly. I just acquired some captivating info about dht, hair loss, and the actual reason why we&#8217;re losing our hair. Interested? Keep reading!</p>
<h3>What in the World Is DHT?</h3>
<p>All I ever knew was that the term dht is short for dihydrotestosterone, which was described to me as some type of mutated testosterone. Now I know that it is an enormously intensified version of testosterone produced by a special, ever-present enzyme in the bloodstream. This enzyme is known as 5-alpha reductase.</p>
<p>Ordinarily, enzymes inside our bodies do good things to our testosterone, turning it into chemical compounds that we require for us to function properly. Nevertheless, when our testosterone supply increases out of control, 5-alpha reductase gets involved and all hell breaks loose. Oh, and guess where all that excess testosterone collects. That&#8217;s right, the scalp! Uh-oh.</p>
<h3>Is This Just a &#8220;Guy Problem?&#8221;</h3>
<p>By utterly no means is this an exclusively male problem. Ladies have and require testosterone, also. It&#8217;s essential for many important bodily functions to happen. The problem is, a variety of dietary and hormonal aspects can very easily result in an overproduction of the stuff in both genders. It &#8220;heads&#8221; over to the scalp, is greeted by 5-alpha reductase, changed into dht, binds itself to the follicles, and the rest is history.</p>
<h3>But What Is DHT Actually Doing to Your Poor Hair?</h3>
<p>It&#8217;s far less complicated than I&#8217;d thought it was. When the testosterone in your scalp is converted into dht, it literally wages war on genetically susceptible areas of the scalp and makes the tissues become swollen. As the tissues swell, they squeeze the life out of the hair follicles. These follicles do all they can to get all the vital nutrients they can from your blood supply, but it&#8217;s really just too difficult. In fact, if they had the ability to completely access your blood flow, they would be instantly nourished with not only life-giving nutriment, but with the body&#8217;s own natural dht blockers!</p>
<h3>Would You Prefer the Good News First, Or the Bad?</h3>
<p>In all honesty, these are pretty much the same thing. So here is the bad and the good news:</p>
<p><i>It&#8217;s completely related to your lifestyle</i>.</p>
<p>For most, this fact is refreshing, as they&#8217;re going to feel 100% enabled to undergo the necessary improvements in order to stimulate and guarantee healthy hair growth. For a few, however, this isn&#8217;t even going to have them grinning. They will believe a lifestyle change to be excessive amounts of effort, and will instantly throw their noses up at the recommendation. If you fall into this second group, I apologize for wasting your time and advise you to get your butt back to feverishly searching for the latest and greatest &#8220;magic pill.&#8221; </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re looking into <a href="http://hairlossgeek.com">hair loss treatment options</a>, then you&#8217;re likely feeling pretty incomplete.  I&#8217;ve been there.  I&#8217;m fortunate enough to look good with a shaved head, but I certainly don&#8217;t enjoy the process of shaving.  If I grow it out a bit, then you won&#8217;t catch me dead without a hat on.  It sucks.  I need options!</p>
<p>In no way, shape, or form can I afford transplantation.  I&#8217;m just a poor boy who&#8217;s doing his best to make ends meet.  Perhaps you can relate&#8230; or maybe you&#8217;re just rolling in it, in which case you may really want to consider going under the knife, as it&#8217;s the only fast and permanent solution to the total reversal of hair loss.</p>
<p>Some guys swear by propecia, but I just can&#8217;t get too excited about anything that could make render my &#8220;downstairs business&#8221; useless.  (Yes, that was a genital reference to anyone who&#8217;s a little slow to catch up.)</p>
<p>From everything I&#8217;ve read and heard, Propecia is some pretty dangerous stuff, and I&#8217;d just as soon keep shaving my head or rockin&#8217; a hat.</p>
<p>That pretty much leaves minoxidil, right?  Rogaine.  Have you tried the stuff?  I gave it a shot once way back when, but didn&#8217;t really stick with it.  I may give it a shot.  If I do, though, I&#8217;m gonna go with Provillus.  I&#8217;m going to get a whole 6-month supply and use it religiously.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve heard some people talk down on it, saying it&#8217;s just overpriced minoxidil and generic saw palmetto.  But there are so many people that claim it has worked.  In fact, out of like probably hundreds of reviews I&#8217;ve read, two people said it was totally worthless and a waste of money.</p>
<p>Most people claimed that it started working almost immediately.  Almost everyone says to get a whole 6 month supply, though, because your results could all be for naught if any time lapses without using it.  Apparently, after 6 months your biochemistry changes and you start holding onto your regrowth longer.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s 200 bucks for a 6-month supply.  I&#8217;m saving up.  A little here and a little there.  I plan to get my shipment before the end of September.  I want to grow my hair out this winter, with as little of a bald spot as possible.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;d like to try this too, there&#8217;s a good review of Provillus here: <b><a href="http://provillus-hair.com" target="_blank">Provillus Review</a></b> </p>

<p>To find a female hair loss remedy that can give you the very best chance of gaining your confidence back, it is important that you educate yourself as to what causes female hair loss.  Once you understand this, you can sort of &#8220;reverse engineer&#8221; your list of potential treatments.</p>
<p>While female hair loss can be a bit trickier than male hair loss, based on a greater array of potential causes, there are certain common factors among all types of female hair loss that can be the starting focal point when determining the best course of treatment.</p>
<p>Most women will benefit from the treatment plan outlined on this page, while others simply won&#8217;t.  Sadly, there is no &#8220;magic bullet&#8221; female hair loss remedy.  No single treatment will work for everyone.  Some of you may need to shell out thousands of dollars for a surgical procedure, while a few of you may want to invest in some really nice wigs.</p>
<p>The following treatment plan is the same for women as it is for men, as it primarily addresses pattern baldness, the most common form of hair loss for both genders.  This plan focuses on treating that one characteristic that all hair loss shares, and that is the starvation of your hair follicles.</p>
<p>There are three main reasons why your follicles may be starving to death, which is why this treatment plan consists of three steps.  I sincerely hope this helps you to make an intelligent, effective decision and get that hair back fast!</p>
<p><b>Female Hair Loss Remedy &#8211; Step One:</b></p>
<p>Unblock your follicles.  If you are losing your hair, it is because your follicles are not receiving nutrient-rich blood.  A major reason for this is a hormone known as <i>dht</i> (dihydrotestosterone), which essentially chokes your follicles off from their blood supply.  To &#8220;unblock&#8221; your follicles, you need to regulate your body&#8217;s production of dht, which can be done with various natural ingredients, such as saw palmetto.</p>
<p><b>Female Hair Loss Remedy &#8211; Step Two:</b></p>
<p>Make the right nutrients available.  Once you&#8217;ve blocked dht, there is still no guarantee that your hair will benefit.  You need to make sure that your blood contains all the goodies that your poor follicles are begging you for.  These include minerals like magnesium, copper, and iron&#8230; along with vitamins A, B, C, and E&#8230; the most important vitamin to focus on is B7 (biotin).  Essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and beneficial herbs like horsetail silica are also encouraged.</p>
<p><b>Female Hair Loss Remedy &#8211; Step Three:</b> </p>
<p>Restore proper circulation to your scalp.  The best way to do this is with the popular topical treatment minoxidil (Rogaine, Provillus).  A 2% solution of this FDA Approved hair loss treatment is recommended for women.  This will help to optimize steps one and two, and really activate an entire system of hair rejuvenation.</p>

<p>Finding treatments for <a href="http://pattern-baldness.info/male-pattern-baldness" target="_blank">male pattern baldness</a> that are fast, effective, and affordable isn&#8217;t always a simple feat. First of all there are several to decide between. And secondly, there is just so much conflicting information circulating throughout the hair restoration community (as is the case with any health-related field)&#8230; We will attempt to help you decipher fact from fiction in this article.</p>
<p>What a lot of &#8220;experts&#8221; fail to inform you about the condition of <a href="http://pattern-baldness.info/male-pattern-baldness" target="_blank">male pattern baldness</a> is that its essence can be boiled down down to one primary cause, which is the starvation of your poor hair follicles. Once you really understand that this is the case, the process of finding the most effective treatments for male pattern baldness becomes much simpler to navigate.</p>
<p>One more time, if you&#8217;re suffering from <a href="http://EzineArticles.com/?id=3285654" target="_blank">male pattern baldness</a>, it&#8217;s because your hair follicles are starving to death!</p>
<p>In order to properly identify the best treatment option for you, it is important to understand the factors that bring about follicle starvation. Among these are a lack of essential nutrients in your blood, improper blood flow in the scalp, and the massive presence of an androgen (sex hormone) known as dht.</p>
<p>The three treatments for male pattern baldness I&#8217;m about to outline for you address each of these reasons. Ideally, by following these steps you will nurse your follicles back to health, restoring proper hair growth to the affected area(s) of the scalp, at the same time making your hair thicker, fuller, and healthier.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t worry, this is not as tough to do as it may sound. Take a look at the three steps outlined below and you will realize that the entire process can be knocked out with just one or two &#8220;multi-focused&#8221; treatments.</p>
<p>1st Criteria All Treatments for Male Pattern Baldness Must Meet (Step One):</p>
<p>You MUST ensure that your blood is full of quality hair nutrients such as zinc, magnesium, and vitamins A, B, C, and E, among other essential vitamins, mineral, essential fatty acids, and antioxidants that hair requires to grow in thick, strong, and healthy. Any other step you take will be useless without this in place. All natural supplementation is a great way to get ALL of the nutrients you need in one fell swoop.</p>
<p>2nd Criteria All Treatments for Male Pattern Baldness Must Meet (Step Two):</p>
<p>Take dihydrotestosterone (dht) out of the equation. Some will tell you that dht is THE cause of male pattern baldness, and to a large extent, they&#8217;re right. This is the stuff that gets into your follicles and stays there, binding to them and choking them off from your scalp&#8217;s blood supply. The follicles thin, and eventually die. To combat dht, there is both an FDA approved oral medication (finasteride, a.k.a. Propecia) and an all-natural dht blocker (saw palmetto extract) men can choose from to get their body&#8217;s dht production under control.</p>
<p>3rd Criteria All Treatments for Male Pattern Baldness Must Meet (Step Three):</p>
<p>Restore proper blood circulation to the scalp with minoxidil. One of the most popular treatments for male pattern baldness to ever hit the market, an FDA approved 5% minoxidil solution applied to the affected area(s) of the scalp each day should promote ample delivery of nutrient-rich blood to your hair follicles, hopefully bringing them back from the dead!</p>
<p>In conclusion, you can certainly use just one of these treatment options and see some results (maybe) &#8211; but absolutely nothing like you can enjoy when you use all three of them together. Clean the blood, nourish the blood, and deliver this optimized blood to your starving follicles as efficiently as possible. That&#8217;s what this approach is all about, and if you&#8217;re willing to give it a try, you can join the ranks of the countless other men who have experienced joyful hair restoration with these steps.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is there really such thing as a cure for male pattern baldness?  Well, not really.  Though many advertisers may claim that the hair loss <em>treatment</em> they&#8217;re promoting is the &#8220;be-all, end-all&#8221; in the world of hair restoration, let&#8217;s see what happens when that treatment is discontinued.</p>
<p>The only thing that comes close to being a cure for male pattern baldness is hair transplantation, also known as hair replacement surgery, wherein the doctor will remove a genetically stable portion of your scalp (generally in the back) and painstakingly attach it to the balding portion of your scalp.  This type of procedure can cost you thousands of dollars &#8211; into the five figure, in fact.</p>
<p>If this is a bit out of your price range, there is one treatment combination that men all over the globe absolutely swear by.  In the hair loss community, these are called the &#8220;Big Two.&#8221;<span id="more-56"></span></p>
<p>Quite simply, it entails concurrently using the two FDA approved treatments (the ONLY two, really) finasteride and minoxidil.  It is said that when these two are combined, you combat your male pattern baldness from the inside and out.</p>
<p>Finasteride, most commonly marketed as Propecia, is an oral medication that is taken to block the production of a hormone called <em>dihydrotestosterone</em>, or dht.  This hormone attaches itself to your hair follicles and literally chokes the life out of them.  Finasteride can dramatically reduce its production, thereby freeing your follicles up to receive the nutrient-rich blood they&#8217;ve been deprived of for so long.</p>
<p>Minoxidil, the active ingredient in Rogaine, is applied topically to the scalp and works by effectively dilating the capillaries in the scalp, promoting adequate blood flow to the follicles that your finasteride just freed up for you!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s quite a simple combination, yet one that seems to get more consistent results than just about anything.  And while it&#8217;s not necessarily a <em>cure</em> for male pattern baldness, as you will need to continue a daily treatment routine indefinitely, it is about the closest modern science has yet come to a full cure.</p>
<p>Some men do not feel comfortable with the idea of taking finasteride, however, as it has some inherent risks of some sexual side effects, including impotence and low sperm count.  For these men, a natural alternative called <em>saw palmetto</em> is available.</p>
<p>In addition to these treatment options, low level laser hair rejuvenation (a.k.a. <em>photobiostimulation</em>) is an option that is gaining popularity and credibility, as it has very recently been given clearance by the FDA.  And for the sake of your hair, don&#8217;t forget to eat well, drink plenty of water, and reduce your stress.  All of these things together will give you the very best chance of reversing your hair loss, and are the closest things you&#8217;ll find to a cure for male pattern baldness in this day and age.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This blog post is obviously just for men (though I suppose it doesn&#8217;t HAVE to be), but I really wanted to rap a little about my personal preference for battling male pattern baldness&#8230; shaving!  Looking for the most fail-proof <a href="http://HairLossGeek.com" target="_self">hair loss and baldness solution</a> in existence?  Shave!</p>
<p>While I have had some success with <a href="http://HairLossGeek.com" target="_self">hair loss treatments</a>, for me it is simply more freeing to save my money and stick my middle finger up at the whole hair loss situation.  So I shave.  One less thing to &#8220;worry&#8221; about.  Problem solved.</p>
<p>Obviously, this suggestion won&#8217;t apply to everyone.  Some men simply can&#8217;t rock a chrome dome.  Perhaps the business you&#8217;re in doesn&#8217;t afford you a &#8220;Bic Head&#8221; allowance.  Maybe your wife or girlfriend is addicted to running her fingers through what hair you still have.  Believe me, I get it.  I do understand.</p>
<p>But lots of guys can pull this off, save a few bucks in the process, and I&#8217;m telling you point blank&#8230; the ladies really kinda dig it.  That&#8217;s been my experience, anyway.</p>
<p>Your <strong>hair loss and baldness solution</strong> is literally a shower away.  Just make sure that if you&#8217;re going to go this route, you take care to do a few important things.<span id="more-44"></span></p>
<p>1.  Scrub the hell out of your head.  I use one of those apricot scrubs and a loofa (hey, don&#8217;t judge me!) and just go to town.  What you really want to accomplish here is a blemish-free dome.  Chances are, you&#8217;ve got quite a few ingrown hairs and zits and all kinds of messy business going on under the fur.  Scrub it away.</p>
<p>2.  If you&#8217;re a white guy, for the love of whatever&#8230; get a tan!  Hit a booth a few times and you should be lookin&#8217; real swell in about a week or two.</p>
<p>3.  Carry a handkerchief whenever appropriate.  Nobody wants to see their own reflection in your scalp.  Keep it as free of oil and sweat as possible and you&#8217;ll be just fine.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s it!  You can literally save yourself thousands of dollars and loads of effort with this extremely effective <a href="http://Provillus-Hair.com" target="_blank">hair loss and baldness solution</a>!</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve got the cajones, a shower, a good razor (the Gillette Fusion is my personal fave), and about 20 minutes, this could be a very viable <strong>hair loss and baldness solution</strong> for you, too.  Oh, one more tidbit&#8230;</p>
<p>This may be totally obvious, but I&#8217;ll tell you anyway.  It is always best to first use clippers or a beard trimmer with no guard to get yourself down to stubble.  This will make the shaving process WAY simpler for you.  In fact, you may choose to not even use a razor afterward.  Clipping your hair without a guard gets it so close, you can&#8217;t really notice the bald spot or receding hair line anyway.</p>
<p>I hope this has helped.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The reality is that if you&#8217;re really looking for <a href="http://HairLossGeek.com" target="_self">tips to cure baldness</a>, you may not fully understand the condition of pattern hair loss.  It is certainly treatable &#8211; even reversable &#8211; but there is no real evidence that there is a real, true, permanent cure that doesn&#8217;t require going under the knife.  And if you&#8217;ve got 10,000 bucks or so to throw down on transplantation surgery, you still may not get ideal results.</p>
<p>I certainly don&#8217;t intend to rain on your parade or sound like a nay-sayer, because I&#8217;m going bald myself&#8230; and I really do like to consider myself an optimist.  But at the present moment, I am simply not aware of a full-on cure for baldness.  And still, I will be referring to the three treatment options that follow as tips to cure baldness, because if you use them diligently, you can certainly see long term results. Many men &#8211; and women &#8211; have done so using one, two, or even all three of the following methods of hair restoration.</p>
<p>Remember, there is no &#8220;magic bullet&#8221; when it comes to hair restoration.  No <a href="http://HairLossGeek.com" target="_self">hair loss treatment</a> is one-size-fits-all.  If such a treatment existed, this wouldn&#8217;t be such a complex issue.</p>
<p>The following three tips to &#8220;cure&#8221; baldness, however, all have proven track records and are pretty much the best the world has to offer at this particular time.  Obviously, this could (and probably will) change as the health sciences evolve.  But for now, here&#8217;s what we&#8217;ve got&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Free Tips to Cure Baldness &#8211; 3 Tips to Curing Baldness the Right Way:</strong></p>
<p>1. Try taking a dht blocker such as finasteride (Propecia) or saw palmetto (natural alternative) to fight the root cause of pattern baldness&#8230; <em>dihydrotestosterone</em> (dht).  This is a chemical that literally renders your hair follicles unable to absorb adequate nutrition form the blood stream.  Blocking dht can give you immediate results, so don&#8217;t overlook the importance of taking a good dht blocker.</p>
<p>2. Use minoxidil religiously.  Minoxidil is the key ingredient in the <a href="http://HairLossGeek.com" target="_self">hair loss treatment</a> known around the world as Rogaine.  This particular product has yielded pretty good results for both men and women, but is not nearly as effective on its own as it is when combined with the other &#8220;tips to cure baldness&#8221; on this list.  Minoxidil works by dilating blood vessels in your scalp, enabling them to deliver more nutrient-rich blood to your starving hair follicles.</p>
<p>3. Low level laser therapy has proven itself effective for many people.  I initially thought this was a big, dumb scam.  But when I learned that the FDA thought differently, I opened my mind and really got into the science behind.  The process almost mimicks photosynthesis &#8211; in fact, it&#8217;s actually called photobiostimulation.  It&#8217;s a fascinating science that makes perfect sense.  I will make a seperate post on low level laser therapy in the very near future.</p>
<p>So these are some pretty powerful tips to cure baldness.  These have worked wonders for many, especially when combined.</p>
<p>The first two of these can be effectively covered by the well-known hair loss product Provillus, which combines both a topical minoxidil application (5% for men, 2% for women) and a natural dht blocking supplement.  For more information about Provillus, go to <a href="http://Provillus-Hair.com" target="_blank"><strong>http://Provillus-Hair.com</strong></a></p>
<p>For a super affordable low level laser hair rejuvenation brush, <a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-3106270-10403246?url=http%3A%2F%2Fverseo.com%2Flasertron-hair-rejuvenation-kit.html&amp;cjsku=lasertron" target="_blank"><strong>Click Here!</strong></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Female pattern baldness affects more women than many people realize.  In fact, it is so common that it is estimated that 40% of all hair loss sufferers in North America are, in fact, female.  This condition generally shows up all over the scalp (as opposed to the concentrated &#8220;bald spots&#8221; and widow&#8217;s peaks associated with male pattern baldness).</p>
<p>The leading causes of <strong>female pattern baldness</strong> are hormonal in nature, and are typically brought about through stress, poor dietary habits, aging, and of course, genetics. Again, female pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) almost always shows up as thinning on several or even all parts of the scalp, with the exception of the front hairline.  And some women can even thin there!</p>
<p><a href="http://HairLossGeek.com" target="_self">Female baldness</a> is more likely to occur during a major or traumatic life event.  An accident, surgery, disease, menopause, pregnancy, loss of a loved one, or anything else that radically alters body chemistry and throws your hormones out of whack can trigger a bout of hair loss.  This can be either permanent or temporary, depending upon the severity of the situation, along with the degree of your own genetic predisposition to shed hair.</p>
<p>It has been said that female pattern baldness is considerably easier to treat than is pattern  baldness for men.  Perhaps that&#8217;s why there aren&#8217;t as many <a href="http://HairLossGeek.com" target="_self">hair loss treatment</a> options approved for women&#8217;s hair regrowth.  Pretty much minoxidil, low level laser therapy, and good ole vitamins and minerals are the most common &#8211; and most successful &#8211; forms of <strong>female pattern baldness</strong> treatment on the market.</p>
<p>Minoxidil is generally given to women as a 2% solution, which is applied topically to the scalp.  This solution dilates the capillaries in your scalp, restoring proper blood flow to your starving hair follicles.  It is also believed to have some effect on the dht which has accumulated in your scalp, though there are oral supplements you can take which can have an even greater impact on reducing dht production.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re unfamiliar with what dht is, by the way, it is simply an androgen (sex hormone) which is the byproduct of regular, garden variety testosterone (yep, girls have it, too!) coming into contact with an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase.  This hormone then congregates around your hair follicles and begins to cut them off from their food supply &#8211; your blood &#8211; until the hair shafts become thinner, lighter, and weaker.  If left untreated, this process can lead to an extremely compromised head of hair.</p>
<p>So back to the minoxidil.  This is perhaps the most effective form of treatment for <strong>female pattern baldness</strong> you can get your hands on.  In fact, it&#8217;s the one and only hair loss medication to be FDA approved for use by women.  However, you can greatly increase your chances of success by using more than one <a href="http://HairLossGeek.com" target="_self">hair loss treatment</a> at a time.  The ideal combination would be minoxidil (such as Rogaine), a dht blocking supplement, and low level laser therapy.</p>
<p>The costs involved in implementing this trifecta of hair restoration methods are far lower than those of going under the knife for transplatation.  One product, <a href="http://Provillus-Hair.com/provillus-for-women.php" target="_blank">Provillus For Women</a>, actually combines the first two of these treatments, giving you a 2% minoxidil topical solution and a nutrient-rich, all natural dht blocking supplement.</p>
<p>For low level laser therapy, you can actually pick up a relatively inexpensive laser hair brush, which you will use 15 minutes or so each day.  This type of female pattern baldness treatment works for hair in much the same way that sunlight works for plants.  In plant life, this process is known as photosynthesis, whereas in humans it is called <em>photobiostimulation</em>.</p>
<p>Many women have reported great success using a combination of these methods.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When looking into <a href="http://HairLossGeek.com" target="_self">effective baldness treatments</a>, it is important to note that there is no &#8220;magic bullet&#8221; of hair restoration.  There are many types of hair loss, as there are many types of people <em>with</em> hair loss.  This is not to say, however, that there are not, in fact, a few effective baldness treatments which have consistently proven themselves over time.</p>
<p>Among these are what have become known in the hair loss community as the &#8220;Big Two.&#8221;  And these Big Two just so happen to be the only two FDA approved hair loss medications on the market.  The first is minoxidil, which is approved for both men and women to regrow their hair.  The second baldness treatment is finasteride, which has been cleared for men only.</p>
<p>Minoxidil is most commonly marketed as Rogaine. A 5% solution is recommended for guys, while a 2% version is ideal for females.  Minoxidil works simply by restoring proper blood flow to your scalp.  It was originally administered as a blood pressure medication.  It worked in that capacity by dilating the blood vessels.  The primary drawback &#8211; or side effect &#8211; was that it caused excessive hair growth in many of the patients who were given the minoxidil.</p>
<p>In other words, this stuff worked to grow hair before it was ever even supposed to!</p>
<p>Today, minoxidil is used as one of the world&#8217;s most effective baldness treatments.  It is applied topically to the scalp, where it goes to work dilating underproducing capillararies in the scalp, essentially allowing your follicles to have access to the nutrients they&#8217;ve been deprived of all this time.</p>
<p>Finasteride, the other half of the effective baldness treatments equation, is an oral medication most commonly marketed as the drug Propecia.  This treatment works by confronting a major factor in all pattern baldness; the hormone known as dht.</p>
<p>Short for <em>dihydrotestosterone</em>, dht is manufactured in the blood, and is basically &#8220;testosterone turned bad&#8221; by an enzyme known as 5-alpha reductase.  Finasteride works by not allowing this enzyme to convert your body&#8217;s testosterone into dht.  A pretty important job, considering the fact that dht LOVES to bind itself to hair follicles and literally choke the life out of them.</p>
<p>While minoxidil has very few reported side effects, finasteride can be a little trickier, sometimes leading to conditions such as impotence, low sperm count, and other such sexual side effects.  There is a natural alternative to finasteride, which is the extract of a North American palm plant known as saw palmetto.  People who have used this treatment claim that it works pretty well.  Some reported that it works better than finasteride.  And then other individuals claimed that it did absolutely nothing for them.</p>
<p>This is pretty much the case with all supposed effective baldness treatments.  You just never know what, if anything, is actually going to work for you until you actually take the plunge and give it a try.</p>
<p>A third option that has also received FDA clearance is low-level laser therapy.  This generally comes in the form of a brush with lasers shining onto your scalp.  You would generally use this approach for 15 minutes once or twice a day.  Sounds odd, I know.  But I have personally seen some relatively compelling results.</p>
<p>Of course, there&#8217;s always the BIG KAHUNA of hair restoration&#8230; transplant surgery.  This is obviously the most fool-proof way to make an immediate difference on the appearance of your hair, but it usually comes with an extremely steep price tag.  We&#8217;re talking five figures here!</p>
<p>Most men &#8220;in the know&#8221; swear by the combination of finasteride and minoxidil.  For women, perhaps a minoxidil / laser therapy combination is in the cards.  One thing that almost everyone agrees on is that a combination of effective baldness treatments is certainly more powerful than any one on its own&#8230; unless you want to drop over 10k to go under the knife, of course!</p>
<p>There are products out there that are packaged as a combination.  The most popular of these is <a href="http://Provillus-Hair.com" target="_blank"><strong>Provillus</strong></a>, which is made for both men and women (two seperate formulas) and consists of an all-natural dht blocking supplement (with the aforementioned saw palmetto) and a minoxidil topical solution.  A great number of individuals claim to enjoy real success with this particular hair loss treatment.</p>
