Welcome to Hair Loss Cure Secrets

Hair loss or technically speaking alopecia generally attributes to loosing hair from the head which leads to full or partial baldness. Actually we lose hair everyday naturally and it is a normal condition. But when the rate of loosing hair becomes higher than the natural rate it creates a problem which we generally call as a “hair loss” situation. The rate of loosing hair is stimulated by number of factors such as genetical factors, nutritional factors, psychological factors and infections. Some of these are totally controllable with a little bit of discipline while the others are beyond our control. In this blog I hope to discuss the practical methods of controlling and preventing of hair loss. I will share with you my own experiences as well as the experiences of the people who share the same problem around the world. As a regular user of Internet I used to seek solutions for my various problems in the net. The most valuable and practical solutions for my problems were given by the people who had the same problem. 

I personally view that loosing hair is not only as a mere skin disease which causes to fall hair in an accelerated rate, but also as a social problem which directly affect to people’s interpersonal relationships. Therefore while giving proper treatments for loosing hair it is equally important to prepare the person psychologically to live with it until the situation improves. Otherwise the mental stress will have a negative impact on the entire process of eliminating hair loss condition.

Actually, for a man it is not that bad to have a bald head as far as he can bear with it mentally. In the final act what matters is how the world sees you as a person. Certainly that is not decided only by the appearance of your head. You may know people who voluntarily got a bald head by shaving out hair as an attribute of their personality and some of those are leading very successful lives. This is not an effort to influence you to accept the “bald head” as one’s destiny, but to pursue to see every side of the problem.

The other biggest problem involved with any personal or social problem is to keep away from the people who exploit the problem to their own ends. It has been well said that “every problem is an opportunity”. But unfortunately the world is organized in such a way to grab the opportunity without making a slightest effort to solve the particular problem. In this blog let’s make our best efforts to identify beforehand this kind of cheap schemes by taking the experiences of people who had been fallen into such schemes before as a guideline.

Once when I visited my niece in England couple of years ago, she asked me what happened to my hair, as it was lesser than when she saw me on my wedding. Actually she was a flower girl in our wedding. My instant answer was what I had read in a book some time ago. 

“The God made only few perfect heads. The rest he covered with hair”

May be your head is also in the process of being perfected……
