A Major Switch: From Zero to Leimo…


Hair loss is a very popular topic in our image conscience society. Have you ever noticed that in movies a bald man is always the laughing stock? Remember Austin Powers’ arch-nemesis, Dr. Evil and Mini Me? They are the best examples.
Men have problems of baldness. About half of the male population all over the world will experience receding hairlines and thinning crowns at some point in their lives. This may happen early on or later in life as one of the signs of aging. Millions are desperate to find a solution to the growing problem of hair loss.
There are tons of products out there that guarantee to help you get your hair back. However, the vast majority of them simply don’t work. So you should take your time and research products before buying them. Hopefully, after reading this review you will be able to make an educated decision on what product is good for you.
One of the most versatile and effective natural plant extract that treats hair loss is the saw palmetto. Saw Palmetto is a palm plant native to North America. It is rich in fatty acids and phytosterols and also it is an herbal DHT inhibitor. It has similar mechanism of action to finasteride, but it doesn't affect the rest of the organism and thus have no side effects associated with finasteride and other prescription drugs.
Since ancient times, Saw Palmetto has been used by Native Americans to treat urinary disorders in men. It is considered an effective alternative treatment to benign prostate gland enlargement. Only recently it was found out that Saw Palmetto can also treat hair loss! Saw palmetto baldness treatment is said to work by interrupting hormonal signals and therefore reducing the uptake by the hair follicles of a damaging chemical called dyhydrotestosterone (DHT). It turned out that it blocks the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme, which is responsible for converting testosterone into DHT, thus preventing and reversing hair loss.

Among the tons of emerging products out in the market today, the LEIMO Scalp Therapy Day Treatment and Night Serum is an intensive antioxidant treatment designed to deliver a rich blend of Saw Palmetto extracts to help safeguard against the build up of DHT in the scalp and follicle. DHT is one of the primary reasons for problematic hair in both men and women. This product is an ultra concentrated natural formula that fights against the effects of thinning hair and DHT. Helping to reduce these effects, allows the hair follicles to rejuvenate and produce thicker and stronger hair.
With saw palmetto used as an ingredient in the LEIMO scalp therapy treatment, it got me curious enough to buy my own Leimo Therapy treatment and prove it for myself.  After 6 months of constantly using this product, I am proud to say that it really worked! After months and months of switching from product to product, I now settled for LEIMO scalp therapy treatment because it gave me a positive result.
 Just so you know, I am a woman….who is currently battling the hair loss problems. To every men out there, you can try the LEIMO products and trust me…you will have a positive hair growth but always remember that patience is the key to success.

Food for the Scalp: Home-Made Onion Recipes for Healthy Hair Regrowth

Allium cepa, which is popularly known as onion, is a staple ingredient in delicious recipes.

Not only does it add a burst of flavor to your home-cooked meals but it also has a long history of medicinal uses.

In fact, today, scientists have discovered the potential of onions for treating hair loss and other scalp problems.

With its excellent cleansing, nourishing, conditioning, and antibacterial properties, onion serves as an excellent agent for hair loss treatment. This spice also stimulates proper blood flow, delivering enough oxygen and nutrients to the hair roots to encourage healthier hair regrowth.

In addition, onions contain important minerals like calcium, magnesium, potassium, as well as vitamins C and B6. It is also high in sulfur, a useful element in promoting hair regrowth. A high level of sulfur in collagen tissues helps prevent further hair loss and hair thinning problems.

Whether you are balding or your hair is thinning, you can stimulate the growth of healthy hair with basic home-made recipes with onions as the main ingredient.

Here are a few onion recipes to improve the health of the scalp and hair:

1. Plain Onion Juice. First, chop 1 whole onion and put the chopped onion in a grinder to extract as much juice out of it.

To open the pores of the scalp, apply warm oil then wrap the scalp with a towel or shower cap. Take out the towel or the shower cap after one hour, then apply the onion juice.

The application of warm oil prior the onion juice enables the hair follicles to easily absorb the juice, thereby increasing efficiency in nourishing the scalp and stimulating hair regrowth.

2. Onion and Honey Blend. Mix 1 teaspoon of onion juice with a teaspoon of honey. Then, massage the hair and scalp using this mixture and let it sit for 20–25 minutes. Afterward, wash the hair with lukewarm water and a mild shampoo to remove the residue.

3. Onion and Beer Hair Pack. Grind one onion bulb in a blender. Add one teaspoon of coconut oil and a small cup of beer to make a gel-like paste.

Massage the mixture onto the scalp and apply to the hair. Leave it on until the mixture will dry up on the scalp. Afterwards, rinse the hair with water and an herbal shampoo to remove the smell and the residue.

The beer along with the onion ingredient will also give your hair a natural shine.

5 Excellent Natural Hair Loss Treatments

Many of us are turning to natural means of living—from our clothing to our personal hygiene. In this way, we believe we can stay healthy while being close to nature.

Natural always sounds better than artificial regardless of anything. The problem with natural methods, however, is that they rarely receive the proper attention they deserve from mainstream science.

In the cases of hair loss treatments particularly, rare is the case wherein the Food and Drug Administration was enthusiastic about approving natural hair loss treatments. In fact, the agency never did approve anything natural-based.

Despite the fact, however, people with hair loss still prefer an all-natural or at least anything natural-based. In fact, some products for hair loss utilize natural essences from both herbs and animals, as their active ingredients.

What are the most common ingredients used in natural hair loss treatments and the most effective hair growth products? Find out below.

1. Saw Palmetto. Popularly known as the men’s herb, saw palmetto has always been compared with finasteride, the infamous hair loss drug for men with pattern baldness.

Both saw palmetto and finasteride inhibit the enzyme 5-alpha reductase from converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the key to pattern baldness.

However, saw palmetto differs from finasteride in terms of producing side effects. Finasteride has been linked to a number of potentially permanent side effects in the sexual function, fertility, and prostate glands whereas these side effects were rarely linked to saw palmetto.

Saw palmetto can come in liquid extracts, tablets, capsules, and in shampoos or topical hair regrowth products (i.e., Leimo).

2. Rosemary Extracts. In aromatherapy, rosemary oil is popularly used as one of the natural hair loss treatments. Even general practitioners would recommend the use of rosemary extracts to stimulate hair regrowth.

Rosemary extracts are high in antioxidants (rosmarinic acid, carnosic acid, rosmanol, epirosmanol, carnosol) and makes an excellent vasodilator, which means that it can help improve nutrient flow en route to the hair follicles in the scalp. Besides that, it also helps treat dandruff and regulate oil production.

3. Nettles. While there is little literature suggesting that stinging nettles can promote hair growth, many patients can attest the efficacy of nettle extracts in treating hair loss.

Like saw palmetto, nettles have been used to relieve the symptoms of benign prostate hyperplasia. For this reason, it has been assumed to be an effective hair loss treatment as well. It is rich in beta-sitosterols that reduce the production of DHT.

4. Grape Seed Extracts. When it comes to health and cosmetic benefits, grape seeds are better than the grape itself. Grape seed extracts contain procyanidin oligomers that have been found effective in inhibiting DHT production in significant levels.

Grape seed extracts also have powerful antioxidants, thus keeping the hair follicle cells from free radical damage.

5. Camellia Oil. Camellia oil is derived from camellia seeds, which contain powerful moisturizers, antioxidants, proteins, and essential fatty acids (e.g., linoleic acid and oleic acid).

Camellia oil stimulates hair regrowth, as it is a good vasodilator. It also keeps hair from damage by the sun’s UV rays.

Safe, Effective, and Drug Free Hair Loss Treatment

Searching for the appropriate hair loss treatment could be such a tedious task. There is a lot to try but there is little time to try them all. Everyone wants to find a safe and effective treatment with the least trouble. That is not as easy to achieve as it sounds.

Unfortunately, no existing product has been able to treat everyone’s hair loss. In other words, there is no cure for baldness yet. However, there is a safe, effective, and drug free hair loss treatment derived from nature at the same time a product of modern science: Leimo.

The most conventional method to treat hair loss involves the use of drug-based medications. Even doctors prescribe them. However, the risks of these drugs can be alarming.

Finasteride is a classic example of the potentially harmful drug because it can cause sexual dysfunction. Early this month, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration adds new side effects to the hair loss drug Propecia (finasteride) after discovering that it has severe effects on fertility, among its other potentially permanent sexually related side effects.

Minoxidil is another drug that can produce weird side effects such as swelling and shortness of breath.

A Powerful Drug Free Hair Loss Treatment

Leimo is science’s and nature’s best shot at treating hair loss in men and women. Leimo is a DIY system that features a professional range of topical products that work synergistically in conjunction with the Personal Hair Laser.

Topical Products

Leimo’s topical products utilize the highest-grade natural essences from saw palmetto, rosemary, grape seed, nettle, castor, and camellia.

These ingredients contain essential fatty acids (gamma linolenic acid, alpha linolenic acid, linoleic acid, oleic acid, and azaleic acid); vitamin B6; zinc; beta-sitosterol; and procyanidin oligomers. All of which have been scientifically tried, tested, and proven to treat hair loss due to the hormone, dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

The topical products include the following:

1. Leimo Bio Cleansing Shampoo
2. Leimo Thickening Conditioner
3. Leimo Scalp & Body Scrub
4. Leimo Scalp Therapy Day Treatment
5. Leimo Scalp Serum Night Treatment

The Leimo topical system is a drug free hair loss treatment that works to prevent further hair loss due to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) formation in the follicles. DHT is the key to hair loss, with the sole aim to kill the hair follicles slowly and gradually. Leimo reduces DHT levels by significant levels, thus ceasing the course of hair loss.

Leimo Personal Hair Laser

The Leimo Personal Hair Laser is designed to restore hair and induce new hair growth at a cellular level. The device is non-invasive, non-chemical, and has no documented side effects.

Combining the powerful potential of Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) and Light Emitting Diode Technology (LEDT), this laser device will reverse the miniaturization of the hair follicles by delivering extra boost to the cells and improving the circulation to the scalp. Thus, the Leimo Personal Hair Laser restores hair, complementing the Leimo topical system.

Scientists discover new gel may stop hair growth, eliminate need to shave

-->
Philadelphia, Penn. - Scientists from the University of Pennsylvania have discovered a drug that when combined with a gel, helps stop unwanted hair growth, thus eliminating the need to shave.
It was found that cidofovir, commonly used to treat eye infections, significantly reduced hair growth during a study involving sixteen men with beards when combined with a gel and applied on the skin in a three percent dose.



“Eflornithine, the only prescription topical agent approved in the United States for female facial hirsutism [excessive hair growth], has only a 32 percent success rate... therefore, additional topical treatments effective in preventing hair growth are needed,” according to scientist Joy Wan and her team, reports the Daily Mail.


Therefore, the dose level needs to be adjusted, however, when given in too strong of doses, subjects experienced nausea, headache, fever and a drop in white blood cells. 

Further trials regarding the drug will continue before it is perfected, as researchers found the gel to be “...safe and well tolerated. But we did not observe total alopecia hair loss as was previously reported and the treatment dose and duration may have been insufficient to trigger this effect.”

What type of hair loss do you have?

The average scalp contains about 100,000 to 150,000 hair. The normal hair life cycle lasts for 2 to 3 years. At any given point of time, about 90% of the hair on your scalp is growing and about 10% of the hair is in a resting phase. After 2-3 months, the resting hair is shed and new hair starts to grow in its place. It is normal to shed some hair every day. You lose roughly 100 hair strands every day. But, some people may experience more than normal hair loss. Partial or complete loss of hair is called alopecia.

If your hair loss is distinctly noticeable. you need to find out what kind of hair loss you are suffering from. The various different kinds of hair losses are:

Natural hair loss

The rate of hair growth slows as you age. Both men and women tend to lose hair thickness and amount as they age. If you notice gradual thinning of hair with age, then you have Involutional alopecia. More and more of your hair follicles go into a telogen (resting) phase. The remaining hair becomes shorter and fewer in number.

Temporary hair Loss

You may experience temporary hair loss over the scalp weeks to months after a stress episode like child birth, fever, severe illness, stress and sudden weight loss. The hair shedding will decrease after few months. Such type of hair loss is called Telogen effluvium. This happens due to changes in the growth cycle of hair. A large numbers of hairs are in the resting phase (telogen) at the same time. After 2-3 months, there is massive shedding and subsequent thinning.

 Male or female pattern baldness

If you are a male with a receding hairline and gradual disappearance of hair from the crown, you may be suffering from Androgenic alopecia referred to as male pattern baldness. In this condition, you may experience hair loss as early as in your teens or early 20s. Men with androgenic alopecia may notice hair loss at the top of the scalp and a receding hairline particularly along the temples. The typical pattern begins at the hairline which then gradually moves backward and forms an ‘M’ shape. Finally the hair becomes finer, shorter, and thinner, and creates a U-shaped pattern of hair around the sides of the head. Miniaturization is the progressive decrease of the hair shaft’s diameter and length in response to hormones causing thinning of hair. It is characteristic of androgenic alopecia. Hair follicles that are producing healthy hair begin to produce thinner (decreased in diameter), shorter, more brittle hair with weaker shafts. It is a genetically predisposed condition that can affect both men and women. If you are a woman with general hair thinning over the entire scalp and most extensive hair loss at the crown with front hairline intact, you may be suffering from androgenic alopecia referred to as female pattern baldness. The central hair part may become wider with time. As hair thinning occurs, the scalp becomes progressively more visible. The hair loss rarely progresses to total or near total baldness. You may notice hair thinning in your 20s but you are not very likely to experience noticeable thinning until your 40s or later because the pace of hair loss tends to be gradual.

Patchy hair loss

If you are a child or young adult with one to two totally smooth, round patches of hair loss, mostly on the scalp, you may be sufferinf from Alopecia areata. The hair loss may also be seen in the eyebrows, and arms, legs or beard. It is often sudden in onset. The hair usually grows back in 6 months to 1 year in one area but will fall out in another area. In some people the hair may become thinner without any patches of baldness. In some, it may grow and break off, leaving short stubs which resemble exclamation point. Alopecia areata is generally considered an autoimmune condition, in which the body attacks its own hair follicles. In alopecia totalis, an extensive form, the entire scalp goes bald. If you have complete loss of scalp hair and body hair, you have alopecia universalis. It is the most severe form of alopecia areata and can occur at any age. For severe forms, treatment includes injecting small amounts of steroids like triamcinolone into affected patches to stimulate hair growth. Other treatments such as oral steroids, immunosuppressives, Contact immunotherapy or Psoralen with Ultraviolet A Light (PUVA) therapy are available.

Tinea capitis or ringworm of the scalp

It’s fungal infection of the scalp which usually affects school-age children and goes away at puberty. It’s rare in healthy adults. It involves only parts or whole of the scalp. Hair breaks off at areas that are infected causing bald scalp with small black dots. The skin has inflamed (red swollen) round, scaly areas and pus-filled sores called kerions. You may have a low-grade fever or swollen lymph nodes in the neck. The scalp is itchy. It is contagious from sharing combs and hats.Once the infection is cured, the hair grows back. Griseofulvin, terbinafine or itraconazole are used for 4 – 8 weeks to treat ringworm in the scalp

Traction alopecia

This is a type of hair loss caused by force applied to the hair because of particular hairstyles. You may notice small, localized hair loss in certain areas caused by persistent pulling or force on hair roots. Tight braids and ponytails can pull hard enough on hair to make them fall out.

Hair pulling disorder

Some people have the habit of voluntarily twisting or pulling their own hair often the scalp and eyelashes. This is referred to as Trichotillomania. It is a psychological disorder seen most frequently in children. Hair patches in trichotillomania show broken-off hair.

Hair Loss: Natural Methods To Combat It

To stop loss of hair due to a vegetarian diet, soy and iodine levels should be monitored. Soy can affect your thyroid gland and causes an imbalance that might be directly related to hair loss.

Give your hair enough time to grow out and become thicker before the next cut. Overcutting can cause your hair to become weaker and it is wise to let it grow out first.

One of the easiest ways to combat losing hair is to stay away from high pollution areas. If you live in a highly polluted area, you may lose your hair. Exposure to pollutants can cause hair to fall out.

If you have recently been diagnosed with any type of illness, you have to work hard to take good care of yourself. If you neglect your body by failing to take your medicine, or not follow the treatment plan for your illness, your body will degrade, and part of this degradation might be hair loss. When this happens, energy that could be used to facilitate the growth of hair follicles, is instead diverted to energize your body to promote healing and rid your body of sickness. The result of this could be hair loss.

No matter if you are a man or a woman, it can be hard to know what hair cleaning products are good to use when you suffer from hair loss. As long as your hair is more than just razor stubble, it is important to continue using shampoo made for your hair and scalp, rather than just bar soap.

Massage your scalp daily to stimulate blood flow to the area. By increasing the blood flow, you will stimulate hair growth, because hair follicles need blood to survive. Massage your scalp while you are showering or in the morning before you get out of bed, or if you prefer, you can do it right before you head to bed for the night.

Protect clothing when applying hair loss treatments. You should allow the treatment to completely dry before laying down in your bed or coming into contact with clothing or furniture.

Treat your hair gently, especially when wet. Avoid aggressive drying and styling. Your hair is more easily damaged and broken when it is wet. To avoid hair loss, always use a towel to dry your hair. Be gentle, and once your hair is just damp, let it dry on its own. Only style hair when it is dry.

Be careful to limit the amount of harsh treatments, like heat and chemicals, that you use on your hair. If you want to really moisturize your hair well, only use products that are of unquestionable quality. Get a professional hair cut in order to prevent split ends.

If your hair loss is accompanied by an itchy, scaly scalp, consult a physician and inquire about a condition called seborrheic dermatitis. Your doctor should be able to recommend the best treatment for you which may include a prescription shampoo, or an OTC one made specifically for your condition.

Hair loss is not something that anyone wishes to experience. There are things that you can do that will help you deal with issues associated with hair loss. There are many cases where hair loss is reversible! If hair loss is in fact permanent, it doesn’t mean your life has been completely changed. Find what works from this article and use it. With lucky, a simple solution to your personal circumstances exists!

A lot of doctors, would prescribe oral hair loss treatments because of its effectiveness in stopping hair further hair fall and stimulate new hair growth, but the downside of these treatments are its side effects, particularly on males which could eventually cause impotence. This causes a lot of men to make a very difficult decision to choose between their looks or sacrificing their mojo.

This occurs because of the inhibition dihydrotestosterone or DHT, an important male hormone. DHT comes from testosterone when acted upon by an enzyme called 5 alpha reductase. DHT contribute to a lot of functions in a male body, it literally transforms a boy to a man during puberty and it also strongly influence a mans mojo, without this hormone you will never get Charlie to stand when you need it.

While most people know about male pattern baldness already not all of them know that women can suffer from a similar condition. No matter who suffers from it, it has the same name: androgenetic alopecia. this is caused by the turning of testosterone (which women have in small amounts) into a chemical called DHT that keeps the hair follicles from growing. In women, this often starts to occur near the start of menopause. Thankfully (for women), while men are usually forced into total baldness by this condition, women usually only have to deal with the slight thinning of their hair in certain places. this isn’t all that common in women but it is one cause of women’s hair loss. Nutritional deficiencies and anemia are often causes of hair loss for women.
