A Primer on Causes of hair loss
Before we dig into some of the most common types of hair loss solutions, let’s first talk about hair loss. Hair loss is something that affects 25% of men and though it’s thought of as a man’s problem, also affects a large number of women. Additionally, though most people believe that the loss of hair is only associated with genetics, there are many reasons for thinning hair. The possible reasons for hair loss in men are numerous; thinning or lost hair could be attributed to any of the following:
Genetics
Vitamin Deficiency
Hyperthyroidism
Alopecia Areata
Hypotrichosis
Medication
Trichotillomania
Stress
Age
Infection of the Scalp
Indeed, genetics play the largest role in the loss or retention of your hair, but there are many other possibilities out there. As well as there being a variety of reasons for hair loss, also scientifically dubbed “Alopecia,” there are also different kinds of hair loss that people suffer. WebMD offers some great insight into the different types of alopecia.
Involutional Alopecia – This is described as an overall thinning out of the hair on the head over time as hair follicles go into what is described as the “resting phase” and existing hairs become shorter and weaker.
Androgenic Alopecia – In men, this kind of hair loss is commonly referred to as “male-pattern baldness.” It’s the receding of the hairline and thinning of the hair on the crown of the head. Male pattern baldness is being experienced by many men as early as in their late teens and early twenties.
Alopecia Areata – This is a condition that affects children and young adults and may result in complete baldness, however, most people who suffer from this do regrow their hair within a few years.
Alopecia Universalis – This condition rids the entire body of any hair, including eyebrows, eyelashes, and body hair.
Trichotillomania – As mentioned above, this is a psychological disorder in which a person pulls out their own hair.
Telogen Effluvium – This kind of hair loss is characterized by large amounts of hair being in the resting phase at once. This form of hair loss is temporary.
Scarring Alopecias – This is the permanent loss of hair due to inflammatory skin conditions such as cellulitis, folliculitis, and acne.
Common Hair Loss Treatments
As you can see, the loss of one’s hair doesn’t have to be limited to genetics; there are all kinds of contributing factors for hair loss. If hair thinning or baldness is something that your clients have experienced, or are experiencing, the results can be devastating. And with so many treatments and solutions out there, it’s hard to know which direction to go in. Some hair loss treatments are accompanied with serious side-effects; some treatments work for a certain individual, but not another. How can a guy decide? Well, if he’s lucky, he’ll come across your salon and invest in this sleek, life-changing hair solution. But before we talk more about Hairskeen, let’s discuss some of the popular treatments for hair loss available today.
Minoxidil
While Minoxidil is the main ingredient in many brands, the products that contain it have been a popular solution to hair loss. Minoxidil was originally given to patients to treat high blood pressure and when some of these patients began noticing a regrowth of hair, minoxidil began being used in an effort to halt the loss of hair and regrow it.
So what’s not to love about Minoxidil?
Well, as it turns out, quite a bit. When minoxidil has been effective, it has often taken months or even years for customers to see results. Additionally, this product only works as long as you’re using it. That means that you’re adding a $30-$150 monthly charge to your bills…for the rest of your life. If we added that up, using this product for twenty years could cost you up to $20,000. That’s a pretty expensive hair loss “solution.”
And did we mention that this product might not even work for your client? For this product that will cost thousands of dollars over time, it has some pretty sad success rates. Only about 16 percent of Minoxidil users have reported extremely successful results, 48 percent said that it was sufficiently effective, and 20 percent called it moderately effective, and an additional 16 percent of users found it to be completely ineffective.
This means that only half of users believe that minoxidil worked wonders for their hair loss problem. So after spending an arm and a leg, investing one’s hopes and confidence in a product, and taking the time to apply or take it daily, half of men will get less-than-desired results.
Side Effects of Minoxidil
And since we’re discussing the darker side of minoxidil, did you know that it can have disastrous side effects? Some people who’ve used minoxidil have reported experiencing itching, burning, and discomfort at the sight of application; still, others have seen a rapid growth of unwanted facial and body hair. Additionally, some users have experienced:
Chest Pain
Weight gain
Dizziness and Confusion
Fatigue
Swelling of the Hands and Feet
Difficulty Breathing
Finasteride (also known as Propecia)
This product was introduced in 1992 and was originally used to treat an enlarged prostate and in 1997, finasteride began being used to treat hair loss in men. Much like minoxidil, finasteride is another major ingredient found in two different brands of hair loss solutions. It boasts being effective in halting the loss of hair and regrows up to 30 percent of lost hair.
Does Finasteride regrow hair?
If the product itself is only hoping to help get 30 percent of a user’s hair back, the actual results are sure to be much less than even that. Although most men who used it saw at least some results, 30 percent of hair being regrown simply isn’t enough good news to write home about. If finasteride weren’t subpar enough, we need to weigh the cost of being a lifelong user. Like minoxidil, finasteride has to be consistently taken in order to continue seeing results which means that after you consider it’s cost, you could end up paying as much as $25,000 to take finasteride for just twenty years. And since this is a prescription, what happens if the cost goes up, or if it’s taken off the market? Your client would be left without a solution to his hair loss. This seems like a potentially giant headache for a measly 30 percent regrowth.
Negative Side Effects of Finasteride and Propecia
In addition to its mediocre results, finasteride has some possible side effects that are frightening, to say the least. Certain men who used finasteride experienced significant sexual issues like erectile dysfunction, lowered libido, and other forms of sexual dysfunction. Though these problems have seemed to improve over the course of taking finasteride, the risk of a tough first year or two on this prescription would make anyone hesitant to get on board.
There has also been a law suit against the makers of Propecia for the permanent loss of libido and sexual function. In the early days of using the drug it was believed that if you experience these negative side effects you would stop the drug use and then your libido would return. Wrong! At least for some people. It’s a very very sad and alarming story.
Again, because Hairskeen comes without these risks, it’s obviously the better option.
Products that Contain Ketoconazole
The interesting thing about ketoconazole is that this is a product largely used for treating fungi like ringworm and athlete’s foot or dandruff. While ketoconazole seems to be somewhat effective for treating baldness that is the result of an infection, there have been mixed results for those struggling with Androgenic Alopecia, or your typical male pattern baldness.
Additionally, ketoconazole has proven to be somewhat effective in halting the loss of hair in its tracks, however, it’s by no means a champion product for regrowing the hair that has been lost. As far as some of the side effects of using ketoconazole, there have been reports of mild nausea, vomiting, itching, headache, dizziness, and impotence. With these possible side effects, it’s no wonder more and more people are opting for a different hair loss solution.
This is, of course, where we come in. At Hairskeen, we offer a product that will have your client walking tall, looking younger, and feeling more confident than ever.
