A word of warning about natural hair restoration products

Post image for A word of warning about natural hair restoration products

Hair restoration is not space age technology.  In fact, hair transplant surgery was first performed over 70 years ago, the restoration procedure being pioneered by a Japanese dermatologist named Okuda.  Interestingly enough, and despite the numerous surgical procedures that are being advertised today, there are also natural hair restoration products that are currently available on the market today.  If you have been considering investing in any of these products, read the following information first.

Beware of false claims

Naturally, with all these natural hair restoration products currently available, every one of them will always claim to be better than their competitors.  The truth of the matter is very few of these products actually deliver the results they advertise and promise.  Your best bet is to make a list of the ingredients in the ones that you have considered buying and then research those ingredients so you can learn how effective they are.  You might be surprised to find out that most of these products don’t work.

Hair loss vitamins

Many companies advertise vitamins that assist the restoration process or that help you stop losing your hair and stimulate re-growth.  Hair restoration vitamins never work – pure and simple.  Although they contain certain vitamins that your body can benefit from, they are ineffective when it comes to restoring the lost follicles.  A lack of vitamins does not cause you to start going bald.  Typically, it is a matter of genetics.

Electrical stimulation

Every now and then, you may come across an advertisement that promotes the use of electrical stimulation for the restoration of lost hair.  About the only thing that you achieve when you try this method is a lot of discomfort while the “procedure” is being performed.  This does nothing to promote hair restoration or prevent further balding from happening.

Instant hair restoration is impossible

Most of the non-surgical products that advertise instant hair growth should be avoided as they do nothing to stimulate the restoration of lost hair.  None of these products have been clinically proven to work and in most cases, they are not approved by the FDA.  Chances are if the FDA hasn’t approved the product, it’s bogus and means that you will just be throwing your money away by purchasing any of them.  The only exception to that rule is Rogaine.  The key with natural hair restoration products is to know exactly what you are looking for.
