Going bald? Is your hairline fleeing your face? Are you a man looking to regrow your hair or are you a woman looking for that miracle female hair loss treatment? Most men and women who are losing their hair do not find it funny. They want to stop the progression of the hair loss and they once more want a full head of hair and they often would prefer a natural hair loss treatment.

However, it's confusing when you consider how many hair loss treatment products there are on the market today. There are shampoos, conditioners, creams, lotions, gels, vitamins, medications and much, much more. The market is full of natural hair loss treatment products. Hang on a second, you must be thinking.

Of course it would be nice if you found a natural hair loss treatment that worked. They are made from all natural ingredients, they're good for the environment, they won't be introducing foreign chemicals into your body and they'll regrow your hair.  All at the same time!?! Well, maybe and maybe not. There are lots of natural hair loss treatment products out there, and you will find great variability in effectiveness, with many not working at all.

Alternative Medicine

Some alternative medicines have been gaining acceptance recently. These are people who are skeptical of pharmaceuticals and physicians, and would prefer natural supplements or herbs to treat their conditions. These individuals claim that their treatments work just as good, if not better, than anything a doctor can prescribe. You will also find that they are less expensive and will probably not harm your body. However, most supplements and herbs are sold without being evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

For the vast majority of natural hair loss treatments, there are no quality tests to support the claims. That's not to say they don't work. They may very well work, but most doctors would say that the effectiveness of these products is more the effect of placebo than their actual effectiveness on the human body. That is to say that doctors claim that it's mind over matter that cures you, not the herbs that you buy at your local health store. Are most natural hair loss treatment products similar in this regard? That's right, since they are not evaluated by the FDA and have not undergone any outside testing.

Individuality

Although most claims are unsupported, there may be a natural hair loss treatment that will work for you. However, you need to consider your own individual hair loss. How and how fast you lose your hair can be very different from someone else. Some are further along than others and some lose it for different reasons. For example, for some their hair loss may be genetic, while others may have blow dried their hair too much and therefore damaged the roots or follicles.

However, by all means try these natural hair loss treatment products to determine if they do work for you. They are all natural, they are good for the environment and they are better for you than using foreign chemicals. Keep your expectations realistic if you decide to try one of these natural hair loss treatments.

With realistic expectations, you will be less surprised if something does not work for you. Just because these natural hair loss products don't work, however, doesn't mean another won't. Everyone's different. You just never know what will work for you.
