Hair Loss and Scalp Blood Flow
I was talking to this guy from a natural hair loss website on the phone, and he seemed really knowledgeable about natural remedies. He told me that the idea that lack of blood flow to the scalp causing hair loss is a partial truth. You say that blood flow is not a problem because transplanted hairs there grow fine. His rebuttal to that is that transplanted hairs pierce through the fibrosis that develops on the scalp, and that fibrosis is what causes the constricting of the capillaries. Thoughts?
You can believe what you want and engage in all the mental gymnastics about blood flow, hair loss supplements, natural remedies, hair loss cures, etc, etc. If there is really a natural product that works for treating hair loss, we would have heard about it by now and there would be a lot less bald men. Unfortunately, most natural “remedies” for treating genetic hair loss are pretty worthless.
The hair loss doesn’t occur because of the decreased blood flow, the blood flow may decreases because of the hair loss (which is caused by genetics in most cases). Either way bald men bleed just as much as men with a full head of hair.
“Unfortunately, most natural “remedies†for treating genetic hair loss are pretty worthless.”
“Most” – does that mean the Dr. feels that there are actually some effective natural treatments for hair loss?
