Growing Your Hair Back

Though I know it is not nice to tease people who looses their hair, my brother does not seem to mind at all. His hairline has been receding since he was 18 years old, and he often jokes about finding new ways to grow hair. This has becomes some kind of a family joke, and he is usually the one who initiates the joking. While we know that there is no way to really grow hair that has been lost forever, it doesn’t mean we don’t find good humor in his efforts.

Often the root of the problem is the result of dandruff.  What causes dandruff and how it affects balding?  And are there remedies for dandruff?

There are many products out there that claim you can grow your hair. I meant everything I said when I mentioned that my brother has tried them all. If the products claims to grow hair, he has tried it. He has had lotions, sprays, pills, and anything else you can think of in his possession. The end is always the same. Each year his hairline continues to recede, and there has not been one new hair growth in that area. He hasn’t given up hope though, and as far as I know, he may be saving up for transplant surgery.

If there is something that promises you that it can help you grow your hair, you should think twice. Though products like Rogaine have been on the market for quite a while, I have never actually met anyone who says it works. I saw many Rogaine in the different bathrooms that I helped cleaned while I was in college. I don’t know if it works to grow hair, but there are many people who tried. I suspect if I went back to those same bathrooms now, Rogaine would no longer be in their medicine cabinet.

If going bald is not your main problem, you will want to grow hair longer. There are probably some things that you can do. The best thing you can do is to get a trim every month or every six weeks. Though this may sound like it contradicts your efforts of trying to grow your hair, believe me when I say this is very important. Hair that is not trimmed will start to split on the ends. If those splits or not trimmed off, your hair will break off and will never grow. It may seem counterproductive to trim hair when you want to grow hair, but give it a try for six months and see what happens.
