Natural and unconventional healing
Today, not only naturopaths, but many doctors and scientists have argued that the proper diet, vitamins, herbs, aromatherapy and other nontraditional therapies may help to cope with hair loss. However, they agree with the fact that natural methods of treating baldness far not always are effective. They help the best in cases of temporary hair loss, which may, for instance, happen due to the monotonous food, after an illness or severe stress.
If hair loss is due to genetic causes (androgenic alopecia, the same factor "testosterone + pattern baldness gene"), then you should not expect too much effect on natural methods of treatment. However, like any other, except for surgical...

How to stop hair loss?
Nevertheless, you have the chance. Recently found that some plant substances with antiandrogenic action, helping to normalize balance of estrogen and androgen, the violation of which leads to baldness. Scientists predict the emergence of effective drugs against baldness in 5-10 years, but the Nature's pharmacy offers us its help right now.

Vitamins, of course, are not a panacea for hair loss. But one only cosmetics far not always help to cope with hair loss. Vitamins and other natural resources will have strong internal support the body; they can help prevent or slow hair loss, and in a favorable situation also can restore strength and density of hair.

Herbs against hair loss
When hair loss is useful to wash and rinse your head strong herbal decoctions. Folk remedies for hair loss include willow bark and burdock root, calamus rhizomes and leaves of nettle, calendula flowers and buds of hops, leaves of coltsfoot. These same solutions can be rubbed into the scalp with a light massage.
By the way, massage can help itself strengthen hair. Top of the head is the most difficult place to enter the blood in our body. Therefore, the majority of men start losing hair from the crown, which clearly confirms the relationship of hair loss with circulatory disturbance. Of course, your top - it's not frozen fingers and toes, which you can grind to permanently remove the numbness, but a daily scalp massage for a few minutes will not do your hair worse.
In recent times louder voices in favor of green tea. Several studies have shown that the substances contained in green tea help fight some forms of androgenic alopecia. While it is the effectiveness of green tea for hair loss has not been formally proved, nevertheless, it contains an excellent set of polyphenols, antioxidants, and hence positive affects on organism as a whole, including the condition of the hair.

The use of dietary supplements
Dietary supplements are a necessary part of a balanced diet, like all those foods that were listed above. For optimal health your body must receive all necessary vitamins and minerals. First of all, these are the vitamins and minerals that are vital to the health of the hair. First and foremost, it is B vitamins, zinc, copper and selenium. Therefore, when choosing a vitamin complex sure to pay attention, whether it includes these substances.
The composition of dietary supplements often also includes other substances that can promote hair growth. For example, an extract of Ginkgo biloba improves blood circulation in small capillaries. Or substances to relieve vessels from excess cholesterol, individually or in combination. Or the same green tea extract, grape seed extract and other sources of polyphenols.
However, I advise you to be wary of bio-additives that promise, that your hair will immediately become thicker and grow faster. It is not excluded that the effect may be just the opposite. As we have said, the causes of hair loss may be different, and even if your friends have used some new means, who said that you get the same result?
From bracing supplements such natural remedies to improve hair growth have proven themselves, as preparations of zinc, selenium, calcium, complex of B-vitamins, taken in conjunction with reinforcing the blood supply of the scalp potions, pills and procedures (massage, etc.) and tools positively affecting the state of the vegetative nervous system.
When during long-term problems with hair, are advised to take multivitamin complexes. Multivitamins effectively supplement the usual diet and can compensate for the possible deficit of just those vitamins and minerals, which can lead to hair loss. Multivitamin complexes contain not only vitamins but also minerals and trace elements. You do not even need to buy any special set against hair loss. The effect of well-chosen traditional multivitamins is not worse.

Every body has different needs, so the choice of a multivitamin is a purely personal matter. Take a good look, some vitamins and mineral elements are part of a complex, and what form they are. That every time you do not suffer issues, are these ingredients natural or not, from what source they derived and whether the balance of their ratio in the formula is balanced, it is best to choose for yourself a company you trust, and to begin all searches with the products of this company. You, at least, will be sure that selected supplements were proper control and, at least, are safe for the body.

If you choose a suitable multivitamin complex, you can safely take it for a long time. You can not get dependent on vitamins, and their effectiveness is not reduced over time. Best to take multivitamins two or three times a day along with meals.
However, if you recommend taking only vitamin B complex, it is best to take in the evening, as the B vitamins have a slight sedative effect. Keep in mind that B vitamins should be taken only in the complex! Isolated taking any vitamins of this group in high doses can lead to a deepening shortage of other B vitamins.
According to Dr. Jonathan Wright, a lack of protein and minerals in the body needed for hair growth can also be caused by the deterioration of nutrient absorption due to lower content of gastric acid and pepsin, which often occurs with age. The main problem is the poor cleavage of proteins, which leads to a deficiency of essential amino acids and minerals necessary for hair growth.
Dr. Wright suggests, compensating for this process to take additional supplements that contain essential amino acids, as well as complexes of digestive enzymes or proteolytic enzymes with meals to improve digestion.
Try also a special complex to enhance the overall vitality of the men - VitalMan. Because it includes also antioxidants and plant hormones, normalizing endocrine balance, in conjunction with a multivitamin complex it will be in right place anyway!
This as for bracing supplements - here you can safely rely on your own choices. But if you decide to start taking target supplements against hair loss, you should consult with your doctor.

Aromatherapy against hair loss
Good effect on hair loss can be obtained from aromatherapy. A variety of essential oils and blends can help with this problem. One of the simplest recipes: mix 50 ml of warm olive oil and 10 drops of lavender oil, put on your hair and hold at least half an hour. Essential oils of thyme, rosemary, lavender and cedar have very beneficial effect on hair. Regular application of a mixture of these oils with the basic foundation on the bald areas, in combination with massage helps to stimulate new hair growth.

Alternative medicine against hair loss
There are effective prescriptions against hair loss also in Ayurveda, and traditional Chinese medicine. Thus, Ayurveda experts recommend rubbing into the scalp various oils that stimulate hair growth. Chinese medicine connects hair loss with poor kidney function. According to the concept of the ancient Chinese, the kidney energy with age naturally decreases. People, who are faced with hair loss at a young age, have a low initial level of energy. Therefore, it is logically, that Chinese medicine recommends with hair loss the means to affect the kidneys.
What the natural ways of dealing with hair loss you would be choose, it is important to remember that a significant effect of treatment will only be if you regularly use these tools. Considerable time is required, so you can see improvement in your hair.

A thick head of hair in men is associated with strength and youth, so its loss many perceive pain. However, there are people in the world who could use the hair loss to improve their image and stay cool and sexy guys, making own bald head a fashion sex symbol!
First comes to mind, of course, Bruce Willis - "Die Hard". This famous actor showed the world that no hair can win and retain the title of sex symbol. For decades, Bruce wears his hair "under a zero" and is all the same great and courageous.

David Beckham - just very cute! Lack of good shag emphasizes aristocratic features of his face, creating a unique image and style. But the star of movies "Crank" and "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" Jason Statham was not tortured hair problems; he is just deliberately shaved off them, adding his brutality of "bad guy".
"Brilliant head" is also among the Russian stars. Fyodor Bondarchuk's head - the director, producer and actor - perhaps the most famous of them. Bondarchuk, Rosenbaum, Gordon, and others - they have discovered a new style, creating an image, which now many men try to emulate.
But as commented "skinheads" some of the ladies:
Maria: - Comically looks like when a man tries to hide his bald head, growing absurdly long strands on the sides. But here is completely shaved head, like Bondarchuk and Kutsenko - that's Wow! It's very much. Bald men instill some fear, but it's even piquant.
Julia: - Bald or not bald - it does not matter. If a man has the charisma, the bald just make him beautiful. As Bruce Willis or Gosha Kutsenko.
Svetlana: - My husband is bald. That is, absolutely. How many know him, never saw him with hair. And when I walk with him down the street me madly proud.
So that bald can be fashionable and even prestigious, the main thing is set aside your own complexes. You are not Michurin, and take from nature what it is not going to give you, are the problem in most cases, unreachable. We must learn not to fight against nature, but to cooperate.

Finally some advice from a doctor:
1) Check out the family album. If bald octogenarian ancestors look at you from the yellowed photos, relax: you have androgenic alopecia. This is not a disease but an annoying property which development can be delayed, the manifestations can be reduced, but it can not be completely avoided.
2) Remember that the decrease in the amount of hair on the head by 30-50% is a natural phenomenon for all people who have reached fifty to sixty years. Change your lifestyle; relax week or two, or even a month from the stress, if you have enough inner strength to do this (which I as a doctor highly doubt in 95% of cases).
3) Avoid tight hats ("greenhouses"), but do not flaunt hatless at -20 ° C. This violates the blood supply to hair follicles.
4) Less likely to use hair dryers, metal and plastic combs with frequent teeth, give preference to a wooden comb and massage brush. Try not to comb wet hair, let them dry.
5) If you are healthy, bald and with the money - transplant your hair from the back of your favorite bald head. The effect is almost instantaneous (as for bald, and for the purse). Guarantees - any...
