When hair starts to fall out in large amounts, it is tempting to immediately ask the question, “what can I buy to fix this”.  However, it is easy to get caught in a vicious cycle of buying all types of supplements, serums, creams, shampoos and conditioners , constantly looking for the next best thing.

Instead of seeking immediate gratification, it is important to consider your own long term satisfaction. This is where knowledge can be your best ally.

Dr. Umar Discusses Hair Loss Baldcast

I created Baldcast as a tool to shed light on important hair loss and restoration topics. Through the power of discussion, listeners are able to go beyond surface facts to understand big picture answers to questions like why and how.

Some episodes will be devoted to answering specific questions asked by individuals who are losing hair. Others will cover an in depth scope of subjects and areas that others want to know more about. There will also be interviews with other experts in the field of hair restoration as well as actual patients.

Each episode of Baldcast can be downloaded and saved on your system.

Tips On Gathering Relevant Information About Hair Loss And Treatments 

1.  Prioritize questions

Sometimes it may seem difficult to know where to start in learning about hair loss. FAQ or Q&A content is a quick way to understand what is generally relevant to other sufferers.

Ask as many questions as you can about your own condition.  Dig further until you are clear about what is true versus myth or hype.

2.  Understand a basic physiological picture of your hair follicles and their surroundings

Even if you are not an expert in science or medicine, try to grasp a basic picture of the physiology involved in hair loss.  Assess treatment options in terms of how well they fit into this picture

3. Learn about conditions and treatments from a cause and effect point of view

Understand the basic causes of hair loss and how well certain treatments are supposed to address these factors.

4. Ask why and how

Learn about why certain interventions work or don’t work. And try to find out how various treatments are supposed to work.
