This is a natural, effective and free option. It consists in allowing the hair to grow until a minimum length so that the hair shaft can be in touch with an absorbent surface (pillow), which avoids the detention of sebum flow (DSF). It is not necessary to use any special product, only brush your hair and allow the hair at the top to grow longer. This is a passive method. The most suitable hairstyle would be a small "bob" parting the hair in the middle. The alopecia will not continue affecting new hairs, but those hairs already damaged will not be able to grow in a healthy way and therefore they will be finally lost.

If you decide that it is the moment of taking action against alopecia in an active way, then you must fight against the triggering cause of it.

You must avoid the detention of sebum flow (DSF), especially the one that goes towards the inner hair follicle. The use of a fluidifyng agent is absolutely necessary to avoid the DSF, and it will be effective even if you wish to wear a short hairstyle.

The agent must be able to reach the inner part of the hair follicle, which is mainly a lipidic environment. Jojoba oil is an extremely stable, innocuous and very fluid wax, very similar to our own sebum, which makes it the ideal choice. In this way, we will be able to stop in an effective way the advance of the common baldness, and we will be able to recover a certain number of hairs, which were already being affected by the degenerative process of alopecia.

This is the strategy to try to recover those hairs already lost by the alopecia process. We must take action in different fronts, not only against the initial cause, but also against the derived causes from the triggering initial cause. It must be attacked the hormonal excess (DHT accumulated in the sebum), inflammatory processes, the excess of fungi and bacterial growth, the fibrosis processes, the rejection by the immune system, the processes of neuronal degeneration, and even the alteration of the bulge area (area where the stem cells are located), and we must also provide a good environment in the skin by increasing its hydration and moisturizing, elasticity, blood flow, etc.

We must understand that not all the hairs lost will be able to be recovered, since as the time goes by, the negative side effects become more intense, and it will be only possible to recover those hairs recently lost. But we must bear in mind that it is much better to win the war, even if we have to lose some of the battles.

The human hair is extremely complex, and also the most evolved among all the different species, one of its singularities is that the hair is asynchronous, i.e. the different phases that compose the hair cycle: growth, rest and loss are not connected in all the different hairs. Each hair is independent of its neighbour; therefore each hair has all the biologic system (extremely complex) to make its own natural cycle.

The process of common baldness is slow, and the alterations that the hair suffers gradually increase in quantity and intensity, for that reason the process becomes more irreversible with the time. In the war against alopecia there are individual battles with each hair.

There are certain substances which can activate the anagen or hair growth phase, but these same substances can affect in a negative way in the following phases of the hair cycle, and due to the fact that its use affects in a systematic way to all the hairs, it is not advisable to recommend treatments that impulse for a long time only one part of the cycle (It is a possible explanation to the cycles of shedding and regrowth with the use of minoxidil and finasteride).

My bet consists of the use of natural products, without side effects, based in essential oils, which will reach the target with the help of Jojoba Oil. The mix of different essential oils acts in a synergic way, powering the effect of one another.

It is also advisable to use a nutritional supplement such as the microalgae spirulina, so as to avoid certain deficiencies of vitamins, minerals, etc… which are necessary for the growth of our hair.
