There are many myths about how to stop baldness in women. There is quite a gap between the medical facts and the corporations trying to sell products they claim are effective. Most myths on how to stop baldness were started by companies like the one on the left trying to make some money. Here are some common misconceptions about how to stop baldness in women that are sold off as truths when hair restoration products come on the market.
Myth 1: You can stop baldness by increasing blood flow to the scalp
This is a popular way to advertise scalp creams and massagers that claim to stop baldness by bringing more blood flow to hairless regions. You can hang upside down as long as you want, but it won’t help the hair grow back.
Myth 2: Removing hair mites will stop hair loss
There are many shampoos out there that claim they remove demodex hair mites which cause balding. While this hair mite does actually exist, it could not possibly cause balding because it is prevalent in most human beings and, if it did induce hair loss, most of the population wouldn’t have any hair!
Myth 3: Increasing the amount of hair follicles in your scalp will stop baldness
A person is born with as many hair follicles as they will ever have. There are absolutely no drugs that can change this, same as you cannot change how many eggs are in your ovaries when you are born.
Myth 4: Vitamins and minerals can stop baldness
While deficiencies of certain nutrients can cause hair to thin, it cannot actually cause baldness. A proper diet will help with thick, luscious tresses, but the lack of one will not make all your hair fall out.
Myth 5: You can stop baldness by unclogging hair follicles
There are some treatments and shampoos that claim hair follicles get clogged which causes balding and that they need to be unplugged with their special formula. Plugged hair follicles can actually happen, although rarely, and if they do the worst damage that can occur is an ingrown hair.
Myth 6: Baldness is caused by stress
This is my personal favourite. While the image of a woman with large, red eyes with bags under them clutching bunches of hair she has just ripped out of her head from intense stress does seem plausible, it is not. It is just an over exaggeration.
Myth 7: Normal hair products cause baldness
There are some shampoos, conditioners and other hair products available that claim to not damage the roots of your hair and therefore, by using them, you can stop baldness. While hair products will damage hair on the outside, they cannot actually damage the root or have any effect on baldness. The most that a change in hair products can do is give your hair a more healthy appearance, but it will not make you have more of it.
Myth 8: There are miracle cures to stop baldness
Unfortunately, there is no cure. There are things that can help temporarily as well as actions that can prevent hair loss in the future, but there is no miracle pill or cream (not even Rogaine, which works but not on everyone) that will stop baldness.
Companies will always make up facts to play on their customers’ needs. Next time you see an advertisement that claims it has the one, true, and certified solution to stop baldness, you will know the difference between marketing and reality.
