Trauma to Hair Follicles (Part 6)
Products to Promote Hair Growth

Here’s a quick overview of what you can do to reduce your risk of losing more hair and some of the products on the market that will promote hair growth.

Apply chemicals to the hair, rather than to the scalp.

Get touch-ups less frequently.

Use a milder relaxer.

Use looser wrapping to minimize tension on the hair root.

Use hair products that contain natural ingredients that allow the hair follicle to breathe.

Avoid the heat of hot combs, irons or blowers.

Nioxins’ philosophy is to find a natural solution for the challenges associated with fine and thin-looking hair. Bionutrient Cleansers are used in place of shampoos. Unlike conventional shampoos, Bionutrient Cleansers are supported by a system of products designed to create a healthy scalp environment

Rogaine (Minoxidil)
is Clinically Proven to help regrow hair by revitalizing hair follicles on men and women. Treating hereditary hair thinning. You may begin to see new growth followed by a greater volume of hair after just four months. Individual results vary. Not everyone responds to Rogaine. The FDA approved Rogaine for men in 1988 and for women in 1991. The active ingredient in Rogaine reinvigorates shrunken hair follicles.

Wigs & Hairpieces
Although not a medical treatment, wigs & hairpieces are a choice some men & women opt for when their hair is thinning. Everyone seems to know someone who has made this choice. Since systems are more about style and appearance than medical treatment, it may help to consult with a stylist. Wigs & hairpieces are a practical solution for some people. Just remember that you usually get what you pay for in both quality and appearance. Wigs & hairpieces range from about $750 to $2,500. Most Wigs & hairpieces must be removed each night. Others can be worn for up to a month without removal.

Hats with Hair, Scarves & Turbans
Hats can be worn with or without the hairpieces. They're comfortable either way!

Hair extensions
Try using Great Lengths hair extensions, since they do not require the daily stress of braiding. Extensions can add volume and length as well as thickness. Great Lengths pre-bonded hair extensions is a system that utilizes the most advanced polymer to achieve a longer-lasting bond with top quality human hair.

Transplants
When it comes to hair loss, many men and women feel they have fallen victim to the fate of their genes. However, the sciences of hair transplants and hair restoration are now prevailing over Mother Nature. Transplants remove healthy hair follicles from one part of your head and transplant them to hairless areas of the scalp. This usually provides a permanent result. Hair loss restoration procedures can involve hair transplants, microsurgical grafting, flap surgery, scalp reduction, or scalp expansion. Hair loss restoration techniques have advanced significantly in recent years, and the results look better than ever.
