Hair loss can be the cause of severe anxiety and depression in some men and women. Thankfully today, men and women have options to treat it. But preparing to restore your hair involves extensive research and planning. Below we’ve provided important tips to properly prepare for hair restoration.

Understanding Hair Loss: Understanding your hair loss condition can help you develop realistic hair restoration goals. Learn about the causes of both genetic baldness and non-genetic hair loss. Consulting with a hair restoration specialist can help you determine what’s causing your balding and recommend available treatment options.

Consider Your Hair Loss Treatment Options: Learning about various hair loss treatment options and finding one that suits you can take time and careful consideration.

• Non-Surgical Treatments: Today, two FDA approved hair loss treatments Propecia (men only) and Rogaine can help slow down or stop the progression of male pattern baldness. Low level laser therapy and alternative treatments are also available however, determining their effectiveness isn’t as well documented. The key to evaluating hair loss treatments is looking for clinical and visual proof of successful hair regrowth.

• Hair Replacement Systems: Today’s hair replacement systems and strands give severe balding men and women an instant solution to their hair loss problem. Ongoing cost and maintenance is typically the biggest concern when considering this hair loss solution.

• Topical Hair Loss Concealers: Topical hair loss cover-ups such as Dermmatch, Nanogen, and Toppik can be a great way to conceal your hair loss to the public. Concealers work by temporarily fattening the hair and coloring the hair and surrounding scalp to present an illusion of hair density. Concealers can be washed out and have to be re-applied after showering.

• Surgical Hair Restoration: Today’s hair transplants can be so natural looking that even hair stylists cannot detect them. But selecting the right surgeon is vital to ensure success. Learn about hair transplant surgery and consult with an elite hair restoration physician to determine if you are a candidate.

Developing Realistic Goals: Because there is no cure for the progression of genetic female hair loss and male pattern baldness, realistic expectations must be developed and maintained. Understanding your condition and available treatment options will better prepare you for developing realistic goals. Working with a hair restoration physician who can help set and meet your goals is also helpful. For a free virtual consult with our leading hair restoration physicians, click here.

Many hair loss sufferers are not only concerned about a natural looking hair transplant, but want to know the best ways to style their new hair.  What is the “best” hairstyle after hair restoration surgery?  Does it depend on each patient or is there a universal hairstyle best suited for the patient?  What role does hair density, hair direction, and hair characteristics play in styling your hair?
