If your hair is all frizzy and lifeless, a good massage, shampoo and conditioning can bring back the volume and bounce. And if it is your hair colour that is bothering you, some hair colourant can revitalise your look. But if the problem you have is hair loss, there is unfortunately not much you can do, externally, to restore its former glory.

Hair loss in men is mostly rooted in a genetic problem, where the body produces large amounts of a hormone called DHT. Though this hormone is essential for development in young boys, the hormone is practically of little use in adults, and can lead to several problems, from hair loss to prostate cancer.

The only feasible, permanent solution for male pattern hair loss – so far – is treatment with oral medication, like Propecia, which can arrest the production of this hormone. Propecia treats hair loss by inhibiting an enzyme, which converts the hormone testosterone to DHT in the male body, and stimulates the production of new healthy strands in the follicles.

However, do not expect this to be an instant wonder pill, getting your hair to grow profusely within a few days of treatment. Patience is indeed a virtue here. If you can just persevere for a few months, you can be assured of a full head of hair when you look in the mirror in as much as six months’ time.
