Hair loss is common for males and females, even though most people think it is predominately a male problem. The best thing you can do to prevent future hair loss is to start Rogaine or another hair loss product. Since you already have about 7 years of hair loss, you do still have options as far as getting a full head of hair back. One thing to look into is hair transplant surgery. The other option you can try is laser stimulation. There are a few home remedies that consist of Vitamin B12 and herbs, but it all depends on your patience and how quickly you would like your full head of hair to come back.

The best thing you can do now is contact your doctor and find out what you can do. Depending upon the type of hair loss, you may be able to get a full head of hair back with prescription medications and Rogaine shampoo. This usually works good for patchy hair loss. For complete baldness, your best option is hair transplant surgery. Losing hair on your hairline are normally called `window's peak's' and this type of hair loss usually requires hair transplant surgery.

Try changing your diet. If you aren't getting enough iron it your diet, your hair can start to thin. One way to test your body to see if your diet is causing your hair loss is to take notice of your fingernails, are they brittle and do they break often? Does your skin dry out easily, does it have a yellowish color? Dietary deficiencies can cause hair loss in a lot of people and it causes skin problems for most people. The best way to test your body for an iron deficiency is to speak to your doctor and to have a blood test done. Add more Vitamin B-12, biotin, and omega-3 fatty acids to your diet. They strengthen the quality of the hair you still have, giving it some extra shine and strength. Adding more fish to your diet is a great way to improve your heart health, and that ultimately impacts your hair as the blood carries essential vitamins and nutrients to the hair follicles.

Most people with excessive hair loss like yours can blame it on genetics. Either your inherited the gene from your Dad or Mom or both parents. For most men and women experiencing hair loss, the problem lies with the enzyme 5 alpha-reductase because it converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT will reduce the size of the hair folliclie, literally closing it off from receiving any nutrients that help the hair follicle stay alive and healthy. Over time, DHT causes the hair follicle to shrink leaving the hair shorter and thinner. It will eventually become brittle and fall out. Medications and shampoos like Rogaine help to hinder the production of DHT.

The trick to using Rogaine or any hair loss treatment program is sticking with it once you start. This is not something you can just use for a few months; you need to use it on a daily basis in order to keep your hair. For most people, hair growth doesn't start for about 4 months after using the product. The other thing you need to realize is that you aren't actually growing new hair, just strengthening the hair you already have. The hair follicles that have been completely closed off will be unable to stimulate any hair growth. In order to grow new hair, you need to have hair transplant surgery and then start using Rogaine to keep those hair follicles healthy and growing consistently. Taking oral medications can also help to stimulate the hair follicles and help them to grow hair. The downside to the oral medications is that some people have felt side effects like a reduced libido, which can cause relationship problems.
