Steps to Combating Hair Loss |

Three major factors are going to affect your success on any hair loss
treatment.
Men begin to lose hair in several different ways. The most common of which
involve receding at the temples, centralized loss on the top back of the
head (vertex), and something known as diffuse thinning, where hair over
larger areas begins to thin without any specific change in the shape of
the hair line. Naturally, combinations of these types of thinning is also
very common.
You may wish to familiarize yourself with the "Norwood Scale". It is one
of the most commonly used methods of identifying exactly which class of
hair loss you fit in, and to what extent your loss has progressed. It
is also a good way to see how things may continue if your situation is
left untreated.
The Norwood Scale
Different treatments tend to have slightly better results in different
areas of the scalp and for different types of hair loss. In Step
3 - Evaluating the Available Treatments, we will begin to delve into
this issue.

Hair loss treatments today are most successfully used by those who haven't
waited too long to do something about their situation. The process of
balding takes years to occur, and it's true that the longer you wait to
stop it, the harder it can be to do. Fighting hair loss is as much an
act of prevention as it is an act of reversal. Younger men who are experiencing
their first signs of thinning have the greatest potential to wake up at
age 50 with a full head of hair, simply because the destructive process
has not progressed very far yet. Still, there is hope for men who have
been losing hair for between 5 and 15 years. Many men, including Jon
Ross are over 30 and have successfully reversed their balding with
combination treatments aimed at a multifaceted approach.

"Fighting hair loss is as much an act of prevention
as it is an act of reversal."
Closely tied to the length of time you've been losing your hair, is the
extent of hair already lost. This factor is probably the most significant
factor in determining how well you will respond to treatment. It is generally
accepted that existing hair which has begun to succumb to MPB has a better
chance of "reviving" than a slick, bald scalp with only microscopic follicles
remaining. This is not to imply that it's not worth giving it a try, but
cosmetically acceptable results are rarely seen on completely bald skin
that has been that way for several years.
