So, you've just looked in the mirror and realized that your hair
line is receding. You can no longer ignore the layers of hair on
your pillow each morning and you can't blame the shower clogging
on your significant other any more. You're losing your hair!
You're going bald! How will you deal with it?

It's normal. Yes, it may be a bit embarrassing at first, and
probably a blow to the ego. However, just be glad you live in
the 21st century. You won't be relegated to sporting a shiny top
for the rest of your life; there are options - and one to surely
fit your lifestyle and budget.

First off, most everyone who has a TV can't help but to have
heard a commercial or two about Minoxidil (Rogaine) and
Finasterida (Propecia). Both of these prescription medications
have been used quite effectively to slow down the loss of hair.
In some individuals, Rogaine has helped to actually stimulate
hair re-growth but this exciting phenomenon doesn't occur in all
cases. The key to using both of these medications is early
detection.

Hair transplants and surgical procedures are another, albeit
more expensive and drastic, form of treating baldness. Some
individuals choose to use a hair graft, taking sections of the
scalp skin containing hair and moving them to regions without
hair.

Others opt to have a scalp reduction performed thus decreasing
the amount of scalp that is hairless. The areas with hair are
then stretched to cover up the regions where the hairless scalp
was removed.

Other less invasive and expensive forms of living with baldness
include hair weaves, hairpieces, specific styling techniques and
hair care products.

In today's day and age there are enough options for alopecia
that anyone with this condition who so desires can choose one
that's right for them.
