Eating a healthy diet that includes foods rich in vitamins and minerals is an important strategy for maintaining the health of your hair, and to some extent these strategies will encourage the growth of new hair too. Vitamins for hair loss are always a useful preventative measure, however for advanced cases of hair loss, some will be interested to learn more about the other options available.
Toupee/wig
The old classic toupee has benefited from advances in materials, but it is still difficult for a fake hairpiece to be totally convincing.
Hair implants
The term ‘hair implants‘ is usually used when referring to artificial strands of clumps of hair. These are surgically implanted, and the latest technology in this area produces quite good results.
Hair transplants
Hair transplants are a more advanced procedure in which sections of the scalp which still have healthy hair growing are surgically removed and transplanted onto areas of the scalp that have no hair remaining. The procedure depends on the presence of healthy hair in some areas of the scalp. There’s a good post about this over at the Hair Restoration Blog.
Medication
There are lots of medications for hair loss besides vitamins; but only a few have been approved for use by the FDA and have clinical trials confirming that they work. These medications have a range of methods of action. One, Rogaine, works by improving the health of follicles so that they produce healthier hair.
