“I am a 28 year old woman and I’ve been researching my hair loss for over 3 years now ( I have been to many Hair Loss Centres and Trichologists for advice over this period of time), and it was only through finding your website and seeing your results and reading your Blog that I felt confident enough to move ahead and start treatment.

“I’ve suffered so much with thin hair for so many years, and I really didn’t think I’d ever find a way to solve this problem. Thank you so much, you’ve given me the confidence to move on with my life.”
In order to treat hair loss effectively we would recommend that you have a diagnosis made as soon as possible by one of our experienced trichologists. Stress can be an aggravator in almost all cases of hair loss and an accurate diagnosis will always, at the very least, take some of the stress away from you.
Gary Heron says: “You’ll have access to the most effective treatments available through The Hair Centre and at a fraction of the cost of going to other Private Commercial Clinics and Centres.”
When it’s time to see the Trichologist: If you begin losing hair rapidly, and or are cosmetically concerned about baldness, consult your Trichologist about treatment options. You can receive a free hair loss consultation with a Westminster Trichologist at our Hair Centre.
The point is that you are not getting to the real problem and you should seek specific professional advice from a Westminster Trichologist.

THE CHECK LIST
(1) Hormone System
Make sure that your hormone levels and the whole endocrine system is correct and functioning normally. Any hormone irregularities should be checked immediately. Women will experience several major hormone changes and correct functioning should be ensured. Seek advice from an endocrinologist.
(2) Anaemia
Check body iron levels carefully together with ferritin levels. Even small falls in level lower the red blood count and will adversely affect hair growth. This is a very common condition and women are particularly susceptible. A blood test will easily enable you to check this.
(3) Thyroid Gland
A simple blood test will also check the thyroxin (an Iodine compound) levels in the blood. Over activity or under activity of the thyroid gland, which produces thyroxin, have a marked adverse effect on hair growth. The condition is easily controlled by medication.
(4) Systemic Illnesses
Almost all systemic illnesses adversely affect hair and skin growth, in fact many serious illnesses first appear in dermatological guise . The autoimmune system is triggered and hair growth is affected. Make sure you have a full, regular health check.
(5) Health
You must not only be free of any systemic illnesses. You must be in really good health, completely fit and well to obtain optimum hair growth. Have the mineral (elements) levels of the body checked; a simple hair analysis will give you this information. Diet is the key. Traces of almost all mineral (elements) are required for correct body functioning, but hair growth will be seriously affected by shortages of calcium, iron and iodine.
(6) Diet
It is really important to eat well, a good omnivore diet in the correct quantities. Fresh fruit and fresh vegetables are essential. Vitamin A, B group vitamins, vitamin C and vitamin H are vital for hair growth. People whose diet may not be balanced (vegetarians for instance) must have the appropriate supplementation. If you are not sure consult a qualified nutritionalist. Extreme slimming regimes will not give the best hair growth.
(7) Toxins
Try to ensure that toxins are not present in the blood or body tissue, smoking, excess alcohol and other agents will all have an adverse effect.
(8) Alopecia Areata
Patchy loss of hair and baldness caused by partial failure of the autoimmune system. Seek expert help from a dermatologist or trichologist. The condition almost invariably reverses but help will be required. Work to remove the causes if they can be identified; stress is very often involved.
(9) Stress
Control of stress (elimination is doubtful) and stress management is required. Yoga, deep breathing, counselling – there are techniques available. High stress levels will adversely affect hair growth as they will increase the hormone levels, particularly adrenalin.
(10) Medical Conditions of the Hair and Scalp
These can usually be treated or controlled and help from a qualified dermatologist or trichologist should be sought. A GP is usually overworked, often with life threatening cases and may not be the best person to consult. These distressing scalp conditions (psoriasis, eczema, etc.) will require treatment before the best hair growth can be achieved.
(11) Damage to the Hair Shaft and Breakage
Seek expert help as No. (10). Most conditions will correct themselves once the cause of the damage has been removed. Check to ensure that permanent scarring and loss of the hair follicles has not occurred.
(12) Exercise
You must quite simply be fit and well and this has to include some form of regular exercise to increase the heart rate, stimulate the blood flow and top-up the autoimmune system. A healthy life-style will give you optimum hair growth.
(13) The Growth Agents
Try them; many of them work quite well, sometimes when used in combination. Find one that suits you but make sure you retain a realistic expectation. None of these products produce dramatic results; you should aim to stabilise the position and obtain a little re-growth. It is quite simply not possible in cases of Androgenic Alopecia to re-grow a full head of hair. Set yourself a realistic budget for this help. Remember you are only “buying time”.
(14) Check the Cause
Make sure that the cause of hair loss or poor growth is correctly diagnosed. The remedy could be quite simple but you must get the diagnosis right. Consult an expert, a dermatologist or a trichologist.

CONCLUSION
A fine head of hair is a joy to behold and probably one of our most important social and secondary sexual characteristics. Everybody wants to have a good head of hair and the upset and trauma when problems arise with the hair and hair growth are simply enormous. Loss of hair or hair condition is viewed by most people as far more serious than even the worst imaginable systemic illness because it is clearly visible, and part of our persona, our style, the way we want people to see us has been changed or permanently lost.
This book sets out the deciding factors; it contains all you need to know to improve your hair growth and to improve your hair condition. It is a do-it-yourself guide for good hair growth. Detailed explanations and pictures of some of the many dreadful hair and scalp ailments have been avoided. These require specialist treatment from a Dermatologist or Trichologist.
Here we try to “accentuate the positive” to show that it is possible for people with average or poor hair growth or condition to improve their position to get to the optimum hair growth. Everything you ever wanted to know about your hair, and were afraid to ask is set out here. This book will ensure that you always have a good hair day.

A recent study suggests that the drug used to fight baldness is damaging men’s sex lives.
Guys, would you rather lose your hair or lose your sexual prowess? Sounds like a pretty rotten deal, but a new study shows that men who take medication for hair loss risk losing something particularly valuable in return. Don’t Settle For Low Sexual Libido
The research, which was published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine this month, says that 5 to 23 percent of men who took the prescription drug finasteride (sold as Propecia) may suffer impotence, low libido, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation and an inability to orgasm. Specific Hormone Replacement Can Boost Libido
While side effects are common to many drugs, these symptoms may persist for months after stopping treatment. Dr. Michael S. Irwig of George Washington University’s medical school interviewed 76 men aged 21 to 46 to find that their symptoms lingered for at least three months after they stopped taking the medication. Some even felt the effects for up to 10 years. Female Sexual Dysfunction IS A Real Disorder
A number of participants developed problems after taking the medication for just a few days. On average, the men had been taking the drug for 28 months and experienced problems afterward for a mean of 40 months. The persistence of their symptoms is especially troubling giving the irony: once you stop taking the drug, you’ll soon start losing your hair again, but your libido may not be so quick to return.
In the U.K. and Sweden, the drug comes with a warning label for potential sexual dysfunction, but this hasn’t been the case in the U.S. But before you exchange your drugs for a toupee, we should note that the subjects weren’t completely random. The researchers selected them from a website especially for problems with finasteride.
Take it from us, though. We’d rather see our men bald than suffering from a loss of libido, so grab that razor and embrace the super-sexy Bruce Willis look.

Another group of products increases cellular oxygen levels and stimulates increased Mytosis (hair cell production); again the growth benefits appear helpful.
The largest group of products are those derived by sheer chance, the “Empirical” group, and they are in very good company, very many of our best known pharmaceutical drugs were originally found empirically, in other words, by guess work, or more frequently, complete chance, i.e. it was noticed that they worked. Many of these products have been shown in trials to exert a hair growth effect and, providing a realistic expectation is assumed, these products can be very helpful.
It is undoubtedly true that as more basic research into hair biology and structure is undertaken, more compounds will appear, possibly with greater efficacy than those at present available.
One must also consider the “placebo” effect, the amount of growth effect you can produce with a dummy lotion, a pretend product, and against which all the growth products have to be measured when they are appraised in clinical trials. The placebo effect for hair growth products is astonishingly high, 30 to 35%, and any product claiming to have a growth effect will have to have a measurable growth response higher than 35%. Many quite promising and technically interesting products have failed at this hurdle.
We all want to have a hair growth product and we want to grow our hair back and look younger. In some cases you can do this, but where the base cause is genetically determined, where the gradual degeneration and hair loss have already been set in stone before birth (or, to be precise, encoded in our DNA sequences – all six billion molecular pairs), the overwhelming force of events is in a set direction and moving against that force, in the opposite direction, is extremely difficult to achieve.
