	<description><![CDATA[When you talk about genetic hair loss most people think about the most common form of hair loss: male-pattern baldness. This is the type of hair loss that is passed on genetically to offspring from their mothers. Most often the recipients of this type of hair loss are men, but sometimes the gene can result in female hair loss.
While genetic baldness in men is identified by a receding hairline or balding crown, genetic hair loss in women is a bit different. In most cases, a woman will not lose her hair in spots only but will thin out evenly throughout the head. Sometimes, this thinning can be quite severe and result in the woman having to wear a wig to cover up her thinning tresses. While female hair loss almost never results in a completely bald head, it can be extreme enough to expose the scalp quite plainly.
For the woman facing this type of hair loss, there are a few hair loss treatment options that can be explored. They include shampoos, conditioners and topical treatments, such as Rogaine for women, which stimulate hair growth and prevent further hair loss; vitamin supplements; and stimulatory treatments such as massage and infra-red therapy. The most successful of these hair loss treatments are the topical treatments. While they are quite expensive, they produce the best results.
Hair loss due to chemical processes
No matter how healthy and strong your hair is today, you could experience severe hair loss after undergoing a harsh chemical process such as a perm or color. While almost all chemical hair fallout is due to operator error, the chance of it occurring is multiplied by chemical services that you perform on your hair at home. I've seen more than one case of female hair loss in clients who have bleached their hair at home, colored it over and then came to the salon for yet another bleaching. Not knowing this past history, the stylist used too strong a chemical, and the process resulted in hair loss.
Since most of these cases do not result in complete hair loss, the hair loss treatment options include protein treatments and other conditioning treatments to strengthen the remaining hair; a good hair cut that will remove most of the damage; and a gentle hair-care routine that will minimize further hair loss due to breakage. You should also refrain from using thermal styling tools and undergoing any further chemical procedures until the hair is completely grown out.
Hair loss due to stress
Cases of severe stress can literally cause handfuls of hair loss at a time. Women experiencing stressful conditions can experience female hair loss represented by thinning all over the head or in spots called alopecia areata. Alopecia areata means &quot;Hair loss in spots or areas,&quot; and can result in bald circular patches on one or more spots of the scalp. While this type of hair loss is alarming, it is not permanent. After the stress is removed, most sufferers of this type of hair loss regrow all of the hair that they lost.
In most cases, the hair loss treatment for stress-related hair loss is minimal. After ruling out other causes of hair loss, your doctor will likely recommend changes in your diet or ideas to help alleviate your stress. Keep in mind that it can take months for your hair to grow back even after the stressors have been eliminated.
Hair loss due to illness
Any type of extended illness or surgery can result in hair loss. Medications taken to combat certain types of illnesses can also cause your hair to become brittle and break or fall out altogether. The most identifiable type of hair loss is the loss associated with chemotherapy treatments. In most cases, this hair loss is complete and affects all areas of the body.
While there is little that can be done to prevent this type of hair loss or promote growth during illness, surgery or chemotherapy treatments, this type of female hair loss is also temporary. In most cases, full recovery of hair is made after the illness is over.
You can promote hair growth after the illness by getting regular trims and using growth enhancing shampoos and conditioners. Vitamin supplements may also be beneficial.
As you may have already guessed, hair loss in women is more common than we might think. And many may be experiencing hair loss and dismiss it as a natural occurrence that comes along with age. A lot of these women fail to seek the necessary hair loss treatment that can help them keep their remaining hair and regrow new hair. So, if you are experiencing hair loss, do not think that it is just because you are getting older. There may be something that you can do to keep the hair on your head from clogging your drain.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Female hair loss is often overlooked as hair loss seem to afflict more males than females. Many people believe it just doesn&rsquo;t happen, but it does. The effects on a woman are devastating. Much emphasis has been placed on the physical looks of a woman that when she begins to lose her hair, it is traumatic to her self esteem. There are some good options to help a woman who is losing her hair. Most of the treatment methods are just for hair loss remedy and prevention. In certain cases, these hair loss remedies may not be effective. Many women in these situations would want to get back the hair they have lost. No one likes to wear a wig everyday. That is where the option of surgery comes in.
In a hair transplant surgery, there are two ways hair is replaced. Depending on how the hair is lost, the methods can be follicle transplant or larger area transplant. In a follicle type, transplant individual hairs are transplanted to the thinning areas. In the other method, flaps of skin containing live hair are transplanted. Each method ends with the same desired result of replacing lost hair.
It is important to find out if hair transplant can meet your needs and be the answer to your hair loss. If you lose hair mainly from the top of your head then you have experienced the correctable form of hair loss. This is because the areas where you have not lost hair can be donor areas for the hair to be transplanted with little worry that they will grow once transplanted. The second type of hair loss is a thinning throughout the entire head and this way can not be corrected through surgery.
Hair transplant surgery is not always the answer for everyone. Some may have to have multiple surgeries to get the desired results. Deciding if you are a candidate for hair loss should be discussed between you and your doctor.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[In today's image conscious society, physical appearance is more important than ever to a woman's self-esteem. Imagine the heartache caused when a woman notices her hair thinning? It is estimated that over 25 million women experience thinning hair in the United States. Many are genetically predisposed to the condition. Most wonder if there are any natural remedies to help or prevent their female hair loss.
Several vitamins have been found to be very effective in supporting female hair health. Of course, many factors may contribute to female hair loss but proper nutrition can help prevent further thinning and more loss.
Vitamin A has been found to support the healthy development of tissues and cells in the body and also supports healthy hair. This important vitamin promotes healthy hair follicles by keeping the root of the hair lubricated. Vitamin A can be found in green vegetables, particularly the leafy ones, red, orange and yellow vegetables, liver and eggs. Many good multivitamins contain the recommended daily allowance of vitamin A, so don't take additional supplements without a physician&rsquo;s supervision. Overdoses of vitamin A can be dangerous.
A healthy scalp is also essential to healthy hair. Vitamin E supports a healthy scalp by helping to increase the oxygen supplied through the blood. Americans rarely suffer from a vitamin E deficiency, but increasing one&rsquo;s intake of green leafy vegetables, fortified grains and cereals and nuts can help ensure that this important nutrient is adequate. Vitamin E supplements are also available for this matter.
The B vitamins are also important for hair health. Regulating the amount of iron in the blood, these vitamins also help oxygen flow through the lungs to the tissues. Of course, a B vitamin deficiency would damage the hair and scalp by limiting the amount of oxygen that these tissues receive. B vitamins are available as supplements and in several foods, including proteins and soybeans, cereals, nuts and wheat germ.
If a proper nutrition that involves essential vitamins and minerals helps in hair loss prevention and a good healthy scalp, then paying extra attention to the food and supplements that you eat is well worth the time and effort!]]></description>

	<title>Women Experiencing Temporary Hair Loss</title>

	<description><![CDATA[While hair loss is considered a normal part of aging for men, hair loss in women is much less common. Thus, hair loss in women is much more detrimental to a woman&rsquo;s self image than it is for a man. Women with thinning hair are often ridiculed and may find it difficult to be seen in social situations. But what makes male and female hair loss so different?
The truth is that there are not many differences in the way the hair is lost or why. While it is true that fewer women are susceptible to genetic hair loss, a small group of women do still experience this disease. This type of hair loss may cause complete baldness and is not temporary. It is a popular misconception that these women are somehow genetically or hormonally more masculine than other women. While this has caused many women shame and ridicule, this is a complete myth. There has yet to be any proof that these women are genetically or hormonally more masculine than any other woman.
Hormonal hair loss also occurs in women. Nevertheless, hormonal hair loss in women is usually temporary, as a woman will experience re-growth once the hormones return to normal. This type of hair loss in women is likely to occur after the birth of a child, during menopause, during pregnancy or even as early as puberty.
If you or someone you know as experience hair loss after the birth of a child, the experience I usually temporary. This type of hair loss occurs when extreme fluctuations in hormones take place. During this time a woman&rsquo;s estrogen levels are likely to either be to too high or too low. If the level happens to be particularly low, it leaves the woman more susceptible to an imbalance. The testosterone in her body may trigger the same hormonal hair loss it does in men. Luckily for the woman, this usually only last a few months before hair begins to grow again. A woman may also experience hormonal hair loss if she has a thyroid problem, but even this is temporary, as the hair will return when the thyroid is treated.
Hair loss due to medication is a greater risk for females than males, because breast cancer in women is the most common kind of cancer. Like most cancers, breast cancer often requires treatment in the form of chemotherapy. Women are also at a greater risk of having thyroid disease which often requires radio active treatment. This too causes the hair to fall out. Many of these treatments will cause complete baldness. Luckily, this type of hair loss is also temporary and may subside when the medication is stopped.
Since most forms of female hair loss are temporary, over the counter treatments may be used to prevent too much hair from being lost during these periods. However, genetic hair loss is still a real threat even for women. For this reason anyone experiencing thinning hair should see a doctor and consider treatment.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Everyday we shed hair regardless of age or how healthy our hair is, just the same as we shed skin. Most of us fortunately never have any problems with noticeable hair loss, but then there are an ever increasing amount of us that do experience the almost &lsquo;nightmare&rsquo; of losing our hair at all different ages. Once hair has been lost it is normally replaced in a reasonable amount of time, but it is only when the hair is not replaced for whatever reason that may be, that the loss of hair starts to become noticeable.
There are many myths of hair loss as usual, just as there are with any medical condition, but there are numerous known contributors to hair loss, that are present in most of our lives. Excessive bleaching and colouring of your hair and the constant use of products that are full of chemicals can be detrimental for your hair&rsquo;s condition. The process of aging can have the effect of hair loss even if you have lived a stress free healthy life, and can cause you to search for hair loss treatment.
Most drugs whether they have been prescribed by doctors or taken for recreational purposes can not only have an effect on practically all of your bodily functions, and lot term effect on your body mentally and physically, but can also contribute to the loss of hair at all stages of life. Any type of skin infection or hormonal imbalance with women can influence the loss of hair, and so can any illness that has taken a hard toll on your body.
One of the most common thoughts of hair loss is down to stress, and working a lot of hours and spending most of your working week stressed up to your eyeballs, and not been able to distress before you commence with another stressful day at work seems to contribute to a lot of hair loss across the nation. A simply remedy to this is work less hours, or do not let your work stress you up as much. This is quite often easy to say, and very difficult to put into practice.]]></description>

	<title>Hair Loss Myths</title>

<guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.eHairLossGuide.com/Hair-Loss/Hair-Loss-Myths.html</guid>
	<description><![CDATA[Not surprisingly, hair loss myths are more well known than hair loss facts. Since hair loss is such a common and unwelcome condition, the public has been flooded with hair loss myths to promote sales of hair loss prevention products. Many companies have jumped on the hair loss bandwagon because of our own enormous desires to eliminate hair loss from our lives, not to mention the unlimited amount of money that we (the public) are willing to spend on this quest. This makes the hair loss market ripe for perpetuating myths that will increase sales. But, for the most part, they are just that, myths.
Some of the more common hair loss myths are as follows: Male Pattern Baldness comes from the mother&rsquo;s side of the family and skips a generation. Not true. There is no one single gene that causes baldness. Most researches believe that MPB is a result of several different genes, inherited from both parents, interacting with each other to cause hair loss.
Hair loss myth #2: Pattern baldness affects only men. Just ask any women suffering from pattern baldness, it&rsquo;s not true. In fact, hair loss is just as common in women as it is in men, it just usually occurs in a less virulent form and is easier to hide. Also, women&rsquo;s hair tends to thin out over the entire scalp area, whereas men&rsquo;s hair thins in patches and at the forehead.
Hair loss myth #3: Poor blood flow to the scalp area causes hair loss. This is a misconception that has been perpetuated by companies selling hair loss products for years. Ask any dermatologist and they will tell you, bald scalps have just as much blood flow as scalps full of hair. It is because of this blood flow to the bald scalp that hair transplants work so well.
Hair loss myth #4: If you haven&rsquo;t lost your hair by 40, you aren&rsquo;t going to. Again, not true. Age has nothing to do with it. If you are genetically predisposed to loose your hair, you are going to. Just be grateful you made it to 40 with your hair still intact.
Hair loss myth #5: Stress makes your hair fall out. Okay, in some part, this is true, but it takes a very traumatic event to cause enough stress that your hair falls out. The common stress we experience on a daily basis will not make our hair fall out. In fact, some stress can actually increase the production of hair.
Okay, I could go on and on about hair loss myths and not run out of things to talk about. My point is this. Most of the facts we think we know about hair loss are actually hair loss myths. If you are suffering from hair loss, consult your doctor. Your physician will be able to give you a factual reason for your hair loss and advise you on what types of treatments would work in your specific case.]]></description>

	<title>Proteins for Hair Growth</title>

<guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.eHairLossGuide.com/Hair-Loss-Treatment/Proteins-for-Hair-Growth.html</guid>
	<description><![CDATA[Many people ask me what proteins are most appropriate for hair growth. People with hair loss often turn to protein and amino acid supplements as part of their treatment regime. Although it is rare for a lack of protein to be a primary cause of hair loss, there is no harm in taking extra protein or amino acid supplements if you wish for your hair growth. If you take a blood test your serum total protein should be between 60&ndash;80 grams per liter. Less than this suggests a problem with protein intake. And you may take some of the protein supplements now available as either as powder protein supplements or liquid protein supplements. Soya bean protein is considered good for hair growth but take care not to take it in excess other wise it can have some negative affect.
Amino acids and proteins
Much importance has been given to proteins for hair growth. Protein serves as the major structural component of all cells in the body, and functions as enzymes, in membranes, as transport carriers, and as some hormones. During digestion and absorption dietary proteins are broken down to amino acids which serve as the building blocks for formation of structural proteins and functional compounds of protein such as enzymes and pre cursors of hormones etc. There are 20 amino acids in all which are required for the synthesis of proteins.
Proteins for hair growth
But out of which some of the amino acids cannot be synthesized by the body and are therefore are required to be taken as dietary amino acid supplements if you wish to take them to stimulate your hair growth. The amino acids: Phenylalanine, Valine, Tryptophan, Threonine, Isoleucine, Methionine, Histidine Arginine, Lysine Leucine are considered to be essential amino acids. But the distinction between essential and non-essential amino acids is not very clear, as some amino acids can be produced from others. For example the sulfur containing amino acids, methionine and homocysteine can be converted into each other but neither can be synthesized de novo in humans. Likewise, cysteine can be synthesized from homocysteine, but not otherwise. So, for convenience, sulfur-containing amino acids are sometimes considered a single pool of nutritionally-equivalent amino acids.
Hair follicles require a constant supply of amino acids via the blood stream to maintain hair growth. Hair follicles contain some of the fastest growing and dividing cells in the body so their energy, vitamin, mineral, and amino acid consumption is high. If amino acids are lacking, particularly the essential amino acids listed above, the hair follicles may be less able to produce hair fiber.
Benefits of amino acids
A lack of amino acids in a first world country diet is very unusual and for the most part supplements are not required. However, everyone should ensure they have a healthy, balanced diet that provides all the amino acids required. There are many amino acids, but the nine amino acids which are known as essential amino acids must be provided in the diet and are indispensable amino acids which are required for both hair and other functions of the body. The body can make the other 11 amino acids needed to synthesize specific structures from the nine essential amino acids and carbohydrate precursors.
Protein supplements
Proteins from animal sources, such as meat, poultry, fish, eggs, milk, cheese, and yogurt, provide all nine indispensable amino acids in adequate amounts and for this reason are considered &ldquo;complete proteins&rdquo;. Proteins from plants, legumes, grains, nuts, seeds, and vegetables tend to be deficient in one or more of the indispensable amino acids and are called &lsquo;incomplete proteins&rsquo;. Vegetarian and vegan diets may contain enough protein, but people following these diets may not be receiving all the essential amino acids if they do not pay attention to the type of protein they eat. Vegan diets adequate in total protein content can be &ldquo;complete&rdquo; by combining sources of incomplete proteins which lack different indispensable amino acids.
Amino acid function for hair
In terms of hair fiber production, the most important amino acid is cysteine. Cysteine is the most common amino acid in hair. It is particularly important because it contains sulfur molecules. As part of a keratin protein chain, these sulfur molecules cross link with each other to produce disulfide bonds. These chemical bonds are what gives hair its strength. For this reason the most popular amino acid supplement taken for hair is cysteine.
Besides the proteins, nutritional diet vitamin supplements and safe herbal supplements are the best diet supplements for hair growth.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Hair loss can be a real disappointment for men. It can make you look older than your years, and maybe even worse, it can detract from your appearance. If you've been worried about your hair loss and wondering what you can do, there are a number of choices. See stop-your-hair-loss.5x1.net for more information.
Some men choose to try surgical hair transplants. That seems like the permanent fix to many guys. The problem is that it often takes more than one round of transplants. That first transplant surgery will leave you with noticeable scabbing and swelling for at least a week. And then when the hair does come in, it can look artificial. I've seen hair transplants where there are areas that are too spotty or unnatural. Those results leave a guy with a hairline that screams &quot;hair transplant&quot;. That can be worse, you know, than the look of the thinning hair before the transplant. 
Men who are considering a hair transplant need to be aware of that possible outcome. It takes a year before a second transplant can begin to fill in the bad spots, and even then a third procedure might be needed. That's the downside to transplants. You go in hoping it will solve the problem quickly, and then you get a result that is noticeably a transplant and it takes years and multiple surgeries to correct. The problem seems to happen more often to guys with lighter colored or thinner hair. 
One tried and true choice is to try a wig or a hair weave. That's a club that many guys just can't bring themselves to join. It's way too noticeable and women especially seem to react poorly to it. 
Another choice is to address the body chemistry that is bringing about the hair loss. Drugs such as Propecia are an example of this choice. For many men this avenue of treatment is preferred. It's less noticeable and maintains the natural hair a man started with. Not losing the hair in the first place is a great solution. 
Carefully consider the options for hair loss treatment. A good choice will make you feel better about yourself.]]></description>

	<title>Female Hair Loss and Menopause</title>

	<description><![CDATA[Menopause is one of the most common causes of female hair loss and one of the least happily endured symptom. Female hair loss can be pretty devastating to any woman in today&rsquo;s modern society, which emphasizes the importance of an attractive hairdo. Just think on the thriving multi-billion dollar in the hair care industry and the numerous advertisements on shampoo, styling products and hair loss treatments.
Like childbirth, menopause is a natural occurring state for women and &ndash; also like childbirth &ndash; the changes manifested in the body can be traumatic. Women begin menopause between the ages of 30 and 70, with most beginning between the mid 40s and mid 50s. However, menopause can occur unnaturally, that is, after surgery or medical treatment. In this case, the symptoms may be much more severe and female hair loss is much more likely.
Female hair loss is not a guaranteed symptom of menopause. It is less common than, for example, hot flashes and mood changes. Women experience female hair loss to varying degrees and some don't experience at all.
Exactly what causes hair loss is still not clear. But many experts have said that the most common cause is androgenetic alopecia or genetic balding. This refers to a genetic process whereby individual hair follicles metabolizes the sex hormone testosterone. Menopausal women experiencing hair loss experience a higher rate of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, or DHT. It is the effect of DHT on hair follicles that results in heair loss.
In the same respect, women who have abnormally high levels of male sex hormones can also experience thinning of scalp hair. Signs that these women display include plenty of body and facial hair, abnormal menstrual patterns and enlarged clitoris.
In addition, factors like anemia, thyroid disorders, fungal infections and stressful life situations can cause hair loss in menopausal women.
In the same way that female hair loss shows itself as a manifestation about three months after the originating cause begins, so too does female hair loss take about three months to show the effects of treatment. Estrogenic treatments like soy isoflavones or hormone replace therapies, will need to be implemented for about three months before you can determine whether or not it's working for you.
How negative a menopausal woman feels towards her hair loss differs from individual to individual. In situations where it affects her quality of life and self esteem, it is best to address the problem quickly. A proper evaluation by a professional for causes of hair loss is necessary to determine the underlying medical conditions and an appropriate course of treatment that produce the condition.]]></description>

	<title>Stress and Hair Loss - An Amazing Relationship</title>

	<description><![CDATA[In the modern times in which we live, stress has become a part of everyday life. There is so much stress embedded even in simple, mundane, day to day living that it is almost unconceivable that stress could be eliminated from our lives. From school to work place, family to friends, the daily dose of stress every modern person encounters is terrifying and this, more often than not, tells on every system and part of the body.
Stress plays a very important role in our daily moods and feelings. You will agree with me that to be stressed up and happy at the same time is almost impossible. Stress comes with worries, anxieties, anger or even depression. No wonder stress has been associated with several life threatening diseases. Recent research has highlighted the role played by stress in diseases like high blood pressure, heart failure, stroke or diabetes. In some cases, it is even surprising to note that the relationship between stress and our emotions plays a more delicate role in causing some of these diseases, than even the conventional, established risk factors.
However, to suggest that stress can also induce hair loss could meet with utter amazement from some quarters. You want to ask; what the heck has stress got to do with my hair? Well, don't be shocked to hear this; stress really does cause hair loss and it has even gotten a medical name, to show you it's real. In medical jargon, Telogen Effluvium is the name given to hair loss induced by the sudden onset of stress.
Most people never get to realize this association because, oddly enough, the hair loss never seems to occur until after the end of the stressful event that is inducing it. It is explained that the sudden onset of a stressful event causes the hair follicles to stop hair production and relapse into a resting phase prematurely. The hair follicles remain in this resting phase for several months afterwards and during this period; an unusual amount of hair will be shed. However, for the most part, hair loss caused by stress is temporary and heals up after the hair follicles resume hair production.
If you really want to keep your hair intact, effectively managing stress could be a great thing to do. There are several ways to do this, as long as you are determined to reduce stress in your life and to live a better, stress-free life. Cutting out stress from our lives is undoubtedly a good thing, but we all know that it is almost impossible to expect to be free from stress totally. However, you can do a lot to reduce the impact of the daily stress on your body and health.
The first and perhaps most effective thing to do, is to learn the art of dissociation. Most people carry their emotions, worries, fears and anxieties on their faces and you almost always see stress in the faces of people you meet on the street. Dissociation entails freeing your mind and body from your problems and worries, at least for a short period of time, daily. Relax and forget your problems, even if just for a minute. The longer you can maintain this state, the better for your overall health. Our lives will be better without the worries we carry about. Forgetting your problems and worries allows the body to calm down and dissipate built-up stress. The longer you can maintain this state, the longer time the body has to calm down. This is not only good for your hair, it is very important for your overall health.
Another effective tool in managing stress is to find a form of relaxation that you really love and engage in it often. If you like reading, then find a lovely book and read for some period during the day or when you feel stress building up in you. If you are the movie type, then go see your favorite movie regularly. Just pick any fun activity which you enjoy and burn off that stress before your hair starts falling out.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[It seems almost surreal that over to 80 million American men and women are affected by hair loss. Hair loss is not only genetic; it can also be brought on by a number of factors of our own doing. Doctors specializing in hair loss will often ask the following questions of their patients:
What&rsquo;s a typical day in your diet?Are you taking any medications (including vitamins)?What&rsquo;s your family history of hair loss?Have you been afflicted with a recent illness?What are your daily hair care habits?
For both men and women hair is simply our crowning glory. Society (the world over) places a huge deal of social and cultural importance on hair (length, health and thickness) and hairstyles. Most of us never miss our hair, until we start loosing it. That&rsquo;s usually when we enter a mad race to find solutions and remedies to regain our crowning glory. Sadly, many conditions such as diseases, heavy amounts of stress, hormonal imbalance and improper hair care result in excessive hair loss.
A healthy scalp will produce about one-half inch of hair grows per month (some lucky individuals can see up to one inch of hair growth per month). Normal hair shedding should not be of concern or alarm, as we typically loose 50 to 100 hairs per day. However, if you notice heavier hair loss or worst if you notice bald spots, it&rsquo;s best to consult your dermatologist. Your hair loss may have started with a few extra hairs in the sink or in your comb, but when heavy hair loss should be of concern and should be treated immediately.
There is a parade of drugstore cures to treat thinning hair and baldness at your local pharmacy, but the only true way to restore your hairline is to seek treatment from a physician. Board-certified physicians trained in hair restoration surgery (a.k.a. dermatologic surgeons) are uniquely qualified to diagnose the cause of hair loss and recommend a treatment plan.
Hair loss can be treated. The sooner you contact a qualified doctor, the sooner you&rsquo;ll be able to restore your mane. Remember that hair restoration procedures greatly depend on the physician's skill and artistry. Therefore, it's very important to see a dermatologic surgeon with training and experience in this area.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[The ordinary kind of hair loss, called hereditary hair loss, can affect both men and women, but women are usually affected less than men. The condition is so common that it nearly can be regarded as a part of the normal aging process.
SYMPTOMS OF HAIR LOSS
The pattern of hair loss and baldness are different for men and women. On men special areas on the head begin get totally bald. These areas are usually at both sides of the front, and the top back side of the head. The hair loss then progresses with these areas extending, and at last most of the head can be totally without hair. However, a great area in the neck uses to remain unaffected and keeps a thick hair cover. The same is usually true about the area in front of each ear.
On women all the hair on the head begins thinning, and then gradually progress over the whole head for many years. Women seldom get totally bald areas on their head, but the hair often gets so thin that the scalp is clearly visible through the hair.
THE CAUSES OF HAIR LOSS
The skin has there layers: The outer layer, called epidermis, consists of epithelial cells. Under this lies the dermis consisting of connective tissue. At the bottom there is a layer called the hypodermis consisting mostly of fat cells.
The skin has narrow pores, hair follicles, extending from the surface down to the top of the sub-dermis, called hair follicles. A hair extend from a growth zone in the bottom of each hair follicle and out at the skin surface
By the common form of hair loss, a substance in the body, dihydroxy-testosterone (DHT), gives a signal to the cells in the hair follicles that make these cells divide less so that the production of hair slows or stops.
DHT is a metabolic product from testosterone, the male sex hormone. Also women have some amount of testosterone and DHT in their body, and therefore hair loss also affects women.
Only cells that are susceptible to the influence from DHT will slow the growth process. This susceptibility is inherited from the parents by some individuals, and not by other. Follicle cells in the lower parts of the head are usually also resistant against the influence from DHT, and therefore these areas seldom get bald.
The effectiveness of hair growth will not only be affected by DHT. Other substances found in the tissue may give the cells signals to divide more, and nutrients like vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids may make the growth process more effective. Some substances in the tissue may also block the DHT or ease the removal of this substance. Therefore all individuals susceptible to the influence of DHT will not lose hair in the same extent.
TREATMENT OPTIONS
Having a good diet giving the body vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants in the right amount may slow down the speed of hair loss.
There exist pharmacological products on the market that can help against hair loss, but usually not 100% effectively. Medicines used to treat prostate hypertrophy also have been proven to stop hair loss and to get hair to regain, because these drugs block the substance DHT. Propecia is a prescription bound drug to take by mouth based on an original prostate medicine.
Rogain is a topical drug to apply 2-3 times each day that does not block the DHT, but stimulates the hair follicles cells to proliferate better.
There are many natural products on the market to help against hair loss. These products often contain several substances working together by different principles.
They may contain vitamins or minerals that are necessary for hair growth. Other substances give signals to the hair follicles to increase hair growth, for example procyanidin B2. Some ingredients work as anti-oxidants that inhibit oxidative attack on the follicle cells, like L-arginine.
Some natural products also contain substances to block DHT. Saw palmetto extract contains substances acting as DHT blockers by much of the same mechanism as prostate medicines. Still other ingredients can reduce the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Grean tea extract have shown itself to contain substances with this effect.
Surgery is an effective treatment against baldness in limited areas. By surgery hair follicles from parts of the scull immune to DHT are moved to bold areas. The hair in the treated areas will however not get as tight as naturally growing hair.
It is also possible to implant artificial hair into the scalp. By this method, large bald areas can be covered, but the treatment implies a certain danger for infection, requires good hair hygiene afterwards and requires a regular refill to replace lost hairs.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Fast hair growth tips for male hair loss.
The following article provides some fast hair growth tips for male hair loss. The first fast hair growth tip I would like to provide is to find out the cause of air loss as soon as possible, and then choose for best hair loss treatment products and solutions after you are thoroughly informed.
Besides the medical treatment there are many safe herbal supplements which can serve as excellent male hair growth products if you are suffering form pattern hair loss.
Some other fast hair growth tips
Sudden hair lossIncase you are experiencing a sudden hair loss, keep in mind this sudden and severe hair loss of your could be due to acute stress or a sudden toxicity or poisoning to the body due to some toxic metals. It is best to rule out the following causes of hair loss before taking any medicine.
Stress has been associated with hair loss for many years. During times of extreme stress, the body loses large amounts of vitamins, minerals and protein in the urine. This sudden loss of nutrients has been thought as a factor in hair loss. The stress may be caused by illnesses such as scarlet fever; it may follow pregnancy or other illnesses.
During times of stress cortisol levels also increase. Cortisol is a hormone produce by the adrenal glands. It has many important functions. However, in excess, it can trigger hair loss as well as bone loss. If cortisol is found elevated by saliva testing, a protocol for male hair loss treatment does exist that will normalize it. So far, this program has been 100% successful for restoring fast hair growth for males.
Chronic hair lossChronic hair loss is commonly due to hormonal and nutritional factors or a slow chronic toxicity. Toxins interfere with the nutrients and hormonal substances that help hair growth. Some toxins interfere with the function of glands or damage the hair follicle.
Proper testing of urine, blood and in some cases also hair (to reflect tissue levels) is important to assess nutritional deficiency due to minerals and vitamins. Guessing by symptoms can fail miserably. An excess of a nutrient can sometimes create the same symptom as a deficiency of that same nutrient.
Testosterone is known to be responsible for male pattern baldness in men when it or its receptors ( Dihydrotesterone) are too high. There are many natural dht blockers are available which are better over the medicines which are known to have many side effects.
Many natural substances are now being used that help the body naturally produce the hormone. There are special traditional Chinese medicine available as male hair loss treatment products. One such herbal male hair growth treatment is Saw Palmetto herbal supplement which is one of the top ten herbal supplements used these days in most fast hair growth products.
The green tea hair growth products offer remarkable antioxidant benefits because of its high level of Polyphenols. The herbal constituents in the tea contain a suite of the key components that have been shown to block DHT from binding to the hair follicle.
Both estrogen and copper are antagonist to zinc the deficiency of which has long been recognized as a factor in hair loss.
New vitamin formulations are now have recently be developed that help the body lower copper and balance estrogen. Lead, cadmium, mercury, aluminum and copper are the most common causes of hair loss. Other elements such as manganese, chromium, arsenic, titanium may also be involved. Lithium and selenium toxicity have been well documented as causative agents in hair loss.
Toxic metals usually do not appear in a blood test unless the person is suffering with extreme poisoning. However they will show in the hair or finger nails if the person is suffering with slow, long term exposure to the metals. This is the most common type of exposure.
Toxic metals do not easily move out of the body and will accumulate in the joints, bone, liver and other organs and glands. They need to be removed by taking specific vitamins that drive them out. Hair testing has been recognized by the EPA as an effective means of testing for toxic metals. Testing is the key factor in understanding how the body is being effected and what should be taken to correct the problem and revive the hair growth potential of your body.
Chemical toxicity from various sources can contribute to hair loss: chemotherapy therapy, thallium compounds (at poisons) and other medications. Always check with your pharmacist to see if your medication can be causing your hair loss prior to looking for other causes of hair loss.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Almost everyone likes to have thick hair as it adds value to your personality. But if your hair is not dense it can be enhanced with proper treatment.
Rosemary is an important ingredient that promotes hair quality. Mix &frac12; cup of rosemary to 1 cup of water. Add this solution to half the quantity of your shampoo and cleanse your head. Rosemary helps opening the blocked pores in the scalp and thus gives a chance for hair growth. Tea can be made out of this product and it is useful for the overall blood circulation and supports hair growth also.
You can also clean your hair with slightly cold water to make them shine and glow. If you wish to make them lighter, apply lemon or lemon juice. Make use of egg yolk when the hair is wet. This conditions the hair and prevents hair splits and hair loss.
To make your hair look healthier and shiny mix almond oil and castor oil and massage the scalp gently. Cover it with a towel for sometime so that the scalp absorbs the mixture. Rinse your hair with a mixture of 2-3 teaspoonfuls of honey and water.
Aloe Vera helps to prevent the male pattern baldness in women and when applied to the scalp gives rise to thick and healthy hair. Onion includes high quality sulfur in it and therefore it yields the same benefits like Aloe Vera.
The red pepper popularly known as Capsium releases the hormone to the cells known as histamine. In this way all the necessary nutrients reach the scalp area and thus gives scope for hair growth.
To prepare a quick conditioner mix one egg with 1 tsp vinegar and glycerin. We can also make a honey conditioner by adding 1-2 whipped eggs to honey along with olive oil. When we mix about two eggs to 2 tsp of brandy we get an alcoholic conditioner. All the above-mentioned conditioners need to be gently applied on the scalp and should be cleansed with shampoo and steam.
If you maintain a good quality of your hair then you will obviously create a good impression.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Hair loss or baldness is caused mainly due to the lack of Vitamin B supplements. Vitamin B5 contains pantothenic acid and B3 (niacin that is vital for hair growth). B6 is equally important to the body, as it contains the nutrients of zinc, sulfur, magnesium and biotin.
An interesting fact about Vitamin B: Certain experiments were conducted with rats and they were fed with food that lacked magnesium supplements. It was found that they lost their hair in bunches and when they were provided with a low biotin diet they turned hairless. But to the surprise of all, their hair returned when they were fed with food rich in Vitamin B. Similar studies were conducted on men and it was found that Vitamin B enriches the quality of hair.
The body also requires Vitamin A. Fatty acids such as primrose oil, flaxseed oil or salmon oil need to be consumed for enhancing hair growth.
Vitamin E is meant for stimulating the oxygen intake in the body and improves the blood circulation. If there is proper blood circulation, hair growth is enhanced. Vitamin C assists the normal functioning of capillaries that carries the blood to the scalp. Even zinc is an important supplement, which should be consumed as it assists hair growth.
Biotin is necessary for hair growth. There are many sources of biotin such as brewer's yeast, brown rice, bulgur, green peas, lentils, oats, soybeans, sunflower seeds, and walnuts. It is present in some shampoos, so you can use shampoos, which contain biotin. It is advised to consult a physician before taking any vitamins or medications for hair growth.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Does this sound familiar?
Are you wondering why your hair is falling out when you wash or brush your hair?
I was wondering the same thing when I gave birth to my third child. Having three kids in a row can really deplete your bodies&rsquo; natural vitamins. If you have this problem, then I would suggest you do several things. First, get rid of any shampoo that you bought at a retail store. Try to get a natural shampoo at the health food store instead. Then take a multi vitamin every day- who cares if it costs 20 to 30 bucks for the bottle- your body is worth it. If you think you are anemic, them make sure to take prenatal vitamins. Even if you are not pregnant and if you are a guy- a prenatal is what you need if you or if your family members is anemic- it runs in the family. The reason why you need to take a prenatal is because they have extra Iron and other things that an anemic person needs badly. After those two suggestions, I can offer you the best advice possible. It is what worked for me personally, and for another girl friend that I told this about.
It is a supplement called blue green algae. It is vital to your health and to fix whatever depletion your body is trying to tell you about with the hair loss- Blue green algae is the perfect solution. For 6 months, gobs of hair fell out in my hands when ever I would try to wash or brush it. After just 3 days of doing all the things I suggested above- it stopped falling out.
Also, make sure you eat Iodine rich foods at once a month. There has been new studies reported that in all of the breast cancer subjects there was a depletion of iodine in their bodies. Where can you get Iodine foods? The best answer is seaweed. So eat some sushi and love it!]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Finding a hair loss product that works for you may be a big task. However, physically obtaining a hair loss product may be an even bigger task. It is stressful enough when someone starts losing their hair for the first time; and the more and more hair someone loses, the more and more worried they become about finding a solution for their problem. This stress does not help; and in fact, it perpetuates the loss even further. The best advice is to stay calm and do your research. You will soon find a product that works for your type of hair loss.
To find a hair loss product, there are a few options available to ensure that you get what you need. The first place to start would be by visiting your family physician, an experienced professional, or a dermatologist. All three of these professionals should be able to advise you to as what hair loss product is best for you. If you are lucky, your doctor may even be able to provide you with a sample hair loss product. This is a great way to find the hair loss product that works best for you. You can never beat samples when on a quest for the right product and you need to be sure to ask for samples.
If you would rather skip the visit to the doctor, check out your local drug store. You can browse the store alone, or ask the pharmacist for some suggestions. You will surely be able to come up with a solution that works for you. There are many different products on the market, so you may be in for some trial and error.
You can also try searching online if you are looking to find a hair loss product. There are several natural supplements that can be purchased online. It can be beneficial to purchase through online stores as they often have reviews on all of their products.

	<description><![CDATA[Hair loss is becoming something of an epidemic in the minds of middle aged men. With social pressures forcing men to live up to that 'perfect' wealthy middle aged man image, obvious imperfections like baldness are unacceptable.
Clearly I say so in a satirical tone but the reality for men facing this problem can be far more harsh. Hair loss can lead to embarassment, loss of confidence and more.
Fortunately for the middle aged among our male species there are nowadays various methods of regaining that long lost youth and returning your scalp to its former coveredness.
Of course we all know about wigs and hair transplants but not all of us have the inclination or with hair transplants the money to make such treatments feasible.
Then there are medications that come by prescription that can assist in natural hair regrowth and rethickening. The considerations that need to be made here are that prescription medications for hair loss often involve altering various hormonal levels which can unfortunately lead to sexual dysfunction and decreases in sexual arousal.
The final, and being a softie my personal favourite and recommended option is natural herbal supplements such as the new Procerin.
The reason for 92% of cases of baldness is a condition called androgenetic alopecia. This condition causes baldness by converting the bodies testosterone to a substance called DHT which is released through the skin (including the scalp) which damages hair follicles and inhibits hair growth.
Procerin uses completely natural ingredients to combat the release of this DHT, allowing your hairs growth to resume as normal and preventing the loss of existing hair. As a result of weeks and months with less hair falling out and existing hair growing unrestricted by DHT, the user gets to regain the head of hair they once enjoyed.
The results from Procerin are shown to be remarkable in terms of both long term effectiveness and speed.
Procerin is an ongoing treatment and can be taken as required with no side effects or adverse reactions caused.
With few or no drawbacks and quick and guaranteed results Procerin is likely to be the next big thing in hair loss treatment so don't be surprised to see it on tv, in magazines or in newspapers in the coming months and years.
It really is funny how the more advanced our society becomes, the more we revert back to older medicines to cure our modern day health conditions. Interesting.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[You've heard the myths and theories regarding hair loss. You cringed at the fact that only castrated men of ancient societies managed to keep their hair on their heads. Before choosing whether to give up your macho image or having an ever-receding hair line, read up. There are ways to stagger the effects of hair loss.
The key to prevention however, is understanding what is MPB or Male Pattern Baldness and its causes. To clarify, MPB also happens to women. Surprised? MPB's proper name is androgenic alopecia (androgenic - androgynous, see?) It is also hereditary. It is largely caused by a sensitivity to an enzyme called Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This is the end product of testosterone conversion. This is why there are more documented cases of MPB in men since women don't have much testosterone. Partially, this is also a reason why castrated men have reduced hair loss risks.
Despite being hereditary, reversing hair loss isn't a lost cause. Researches have shown different triggers affect the onset of baldness. This only shows that MPB can be reversed or at least, controlled. Diets with high fat content increases DHT production which speeds up baldness. For example, Asian men are found to be in lesser risk compared to American men with their fatty fast food diet. Other than fat, substances to limit or avoid to lessen hair loss include nicotine, alcohol, sugar, salt, and caffeine. Don't feel deprived as seafood are widely recommended as it contains considerable amounts of iodine, a substance that improves hair growth.
As always, a proper, balanced diet is advised to reverse effects of baldness or hair loss. Adequate rest and sleep are also important as these reduces stress and anxiety which can trigger testosterone conversion. In addition, there are also other methods to increase hair growth. Scalp massages stimulate the blood vessels of the scalp, resulting to a more efficient circulation of oxygen and nutrients needed for hair growth. Don't snub aromatherapy as a sissy habit either. Used as massage oil or mixed with shampoo, essential oils such as lavender or bay have been proven effective as a therapy for hair loss. Asian medicine also offers it solution to combat baldness. Water from boiled sage, rosemary, burdock, nettle, and peach leaves is an efficient hair cleanser. Aside from keeping the scalp clean, this solution also thickens hair strands and stimulates hair roots.
Lastly, restoring hair vitality and health is not a speedy process. You shouldn't expect instant results no matter what type of prevention method you used. Be reminded though that excessive and fast hair loss should be consulted to the doctor. As this could be a symptom of a more serious matter, medical attention should be sought immediately.]]></description>

	<title>The Best Hair Replacement for Men</title>

	<description><![CDATA[Choosing the right type of hair replacement procedure depends on the severity of the baldness that an individual is experiencing. How do you know if you are qualified for hair replacement?
Although it's true that hair replacement surgery can improve appearance and boost self-esteem, there are cases in which the results of the surgery don't measure up to the expected results. The smart thing to do before undergoing hair replacement surgery is to discuss all your expectations with your doctor. Don&rsquo;t be afraid to offer suggestions on how you want your hair to look. Remember that your appearance will be greatly affected by your new hair &ndash; they say that the hair is a person's crowning glory. so make sure that it will really enhance your looks before committing to a surgical procedure.
Another important thing to understand about hair replacement procedures is the need for an existing area of thick, healthy hair growth at the back and sides of the head since these areas will serve as the donor areas for the hair replacement. It's these areas from which the &ldquo;donations&rdquo; will be taken, and the outcome of your hair replacement procedure will depend on things like hair color and texture.
In the cases of men who suffer from a thin frontal hairline while also being bald on the crown, surgeons will sometimes use multiple hair replacement techniques in order to get better results.
Most men, after reviewing various hair replacement procedures, opt for hair transplantation. It's important to understand what the process of hair transplantation entails to understand why it's preferred by most men.
Hair transplantation involves moving small sections of scalp where hair still grows from the donor area of the head to the bald or thinning area, usually at the top of the scalp. This procedure also includes modern techniques in hair grafting which are performed by expert physicians in most hospitals or clinics.
Moreover, in hair transplantation no new hair is added, only existing hair and skin that is relocated to some bald or thinning areas of the head. The skin grafts used for this type of procedure vary in size and in shape. There are actually five types of skin grafts used in hair transplantation: punch grafts, mini-grafts, micro-grafts, slit grafts and strip grafts.
Hair transplantation is not a quick hair restoration procedure, as it involves several surgical sessions before an entire bald area is transplanted with skin grafts. Aside from that, a recovery time is required in between sessions &ndash; for some major cases of baldness it can take years before you'll get to see the final results of the series of transplants that you have undergone.
Even though hair transplantation takes a much longer time to complete, you can be sure of the quality of the results. This is probably the reason why most men prefer this procedure.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[The best hair replacements for women are, of course, those that can significantly enhance their looks. As to the procedure used, depends on the degree of hair loss or balding that a woman has experienced. There are many hair replacement options for women to consider, including non-surgical options for light balding and surgical options for more severe cases of balding.
Non-surgical options include wigs and other types of hairpieces that can effectively cover up thinning hair. There are, however, disadvantages to using wigs. They can be uncomfortable and feel hot on the scalp, or may even fall off, causing embarrassment in public. Use of wigs may also cause further hair loss, and it can be quite expensive maintaining a wig as they need to be professionally styled to retain their appearance.
Because of the disadvantages of wearing fake hair pieces, women are increasingly considering surgical hair replacement procedures. Several different types of hair replacement methods are available: hair transplantation, flaps, tissue- expansion and scalp reduction. All of these methods are geared on covering up bald areas of the head.
Different hair replacement procedures explained
Flaps &ndash; This is one procedure that is used to create full, natural-looking frontal hair line from your own hair. This procedure has been performed for over 20 years and is considered safe. The &quot;flap&quot; is a large portion of hair-bearing skin which is transferred from the sides or back of the head to the balding area. The flap is then sewn into place while still attached to its original blood supply, ensuring that the hair will grow continuously and will hide any scars resulting from the procedure.
Plastic surgeons have developed a number of successful flap techniques which, combined with scalp reduction, result in better coverage of the crown. They also apply tissue expansion to provide better frontal coverage for a natural hairline.
Scalp reduction &ndash; This technique involves the removal of the skin from a balding area on the back of the head and then suturing the area, pulling the skin together. Although this may seem like a simple process, the surgery requires a doctor with specific training and experience in scalp reduction. This procedure requires local anesthesia, injected into the scalp, before the segment of bald scalp is removed.
The size and shape of the segment to be removed varies depending on the patient. In most cases, the surgeon removes a segment of the scalp in an inverted Y-shape; doctors will also sometimes excise pieces of scalp in the shaped of a U or a pointed oval, depending on the coverage that the individual requires.
Scalp Expansion &ndash; This procedure is very similar to scalp extension. Both procedures are done accommodate scalp reductions, especially in cases of a tight scalp. Scalp expansion is also used to prepare individuals for flap surgeries.
Tissue Expansion &ndash; This procedure is commonly used by plastic surgeons in reconstructive surgeries, to repair wounds that are caused by burning or injuries that have resulted in significant skin loss. The same procedure, when applied to hair replacement surgery, has resulted in impressive results where significant coverage is desired in a much shorter amount of time.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[There are many hair loss remedies that one can try today. Though some of them have been proven to be more effective, all of them have worked at one time or the next. Depending on your genetic makeup, and your reason for experiencing hair loss, one product may work better than another. You may have to try a couple different ones to find the one that best works for you. Start with the most popular (discussed below) and see if you have good results.
There are two hair loss remedies that are being used by the biggest percentage of the population. They are Rogaine and Propecia. Men and women alike are both using Rogaine, as they produce a cream for both genders. Propecia focuses solely on helping out women who are experiencing hair loss. The reasons for hair loss vary and in women, the most popular cause, next to genetics, is hormonal changes.
Rogaine has been one of the most popular hair loss remedies since its inception. Rogaine for men and women is a topical cream that is applied directly to the scalp. This cream helps to enlarge hair follicles, which stimulates hair growth. It is a fairly basic principal, but works rather well.
Propecia on the other hand is an oral medication that is specifically for women. Propecia helps to block hormones that cause hair follicles to shrink. Hormonal changes in women can cause hair loss, so Propecia focuses in on blocking out hormones that may have a negative effect on the scalp. Propcia works rather well for women that are balding.
There are also many natural supplements that are taken as hair loss remedies. Visiting your local pharmacy or supplement store is a good place to start if you are looking for natural supplements to add to your prevention plan. These stores also offer special shampoos that can serve the patient well. Proper care of the hair and scalp is one of the most overlooked hair loss remedies. An ounce of prevention is worth a ton of cure.
Visiting with your family physician or with an experienced professional can also be a great place to start. These professionals have been exposed to hair loss problems over many years, so they will be able to prescribe the best hair loss remedies. Only a professional can decide if you need a prescription strength remedy or if an over the counter product would help.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[The first step to stopping hair loss is preventing it. Hair loss prevention can be a very difficult task. In fact, if you are experiencing inherited hair loss, you will not be able to prevent it. In this case, you will have to try one of the many hair loss remedies that are available today. There are several to choose from, but I recommend staying with the more popular ones.
If your hair loss is not hereditary, you may have some options available to you to prevent hair loss before it starts. The first step of hair loss prevention is to find out what is causing the problem. To do this, you need to know what some of the common causes are. First off, stress can cause hair loss. Both mental and physical stress can be harmful.
A simple solution to combat stress-related hair loss is to cut the stress. Try to take some extra time each day to relax. Another hair loss prevention step to combat stress may be working less hours each day, or taking a job that does not require as much physical or mental stress. Even thought the job market is fierce, you can, over a period of time, find a different job or even different occupation that has less stress. Stress not only causes hair loss but many other things that are both physical and mental.
Another hair loss prevention step is making sure you get the proper nutritional supplements needed for healthy hair. A lack of protein or iron can cause hair loss. To fix this problem, consult with your physician about taking iron or protein pills. You may also try to consume more foods that contain these nutrients. Yes, a simple change in diet may be all that is needed.
Improper hair care can also cause hair loss. Most people are not aware that improper hair care can be detrimental. Hair loss prevention shampoos are available to ensure that you keep your hair healthy. You can visit your local drug store to find a shampoo or schedule a visit with the dermatologist for something more potent. The dermatologist can help provide you with options for caring for your hair.
Hair loss prevention may be your best defense against hair loss. Remember to stay stress free, get the proper vitamins, and take care of your hair. It is through these measures that you can best combat hair loss that is not genetic.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Hair loss in women is more common than ever before. Even though hair loss happens to every woman, it can be sped up in several ways. One of the most common causes of hair loss in women is hormonal changes. These changes can be brought about by pregnancy, menopause, or even coming off of birth control pills. Anything that may cause hormonal changes can cause hair loss in women. The different causes of hair loss each have varying degrees of hair loss.
The big difference between hair loss in women and hair loss in men is the pattern in which it happens. A man usually starts off with a receding hair line followed by the thinning of the hair. Over time, a man eventually loses everything.
The pattern of hair loss in women is slightly different. Even though it is common for hair loss in women and men to happen at the same age, it does not follow the same pattern. Women do not typically lose all of their hair like men. Hair loss in women is usually accompanied by gradual thinning, but almost never complete hair loss. This is easily noticeable over the years. Many women use wigs or similar items to hide the hair loss. My own mother used a wig to cover up the fact that her hair is thinning by quite a bit.
Hair loss in women can be combated with a product similar to Rogaine for men. It is called Propecia and has been clinically proven to help slow down hair loss. Propecia works by controlling the hormones that shrink hair follicles. Propecia for women has about the same success rate as Rogaine for men. This is a treatment worth considering if your professional concurs.
Just as in men, hair loss in women can also be combated by topical solutions and natural remedies. Though not as common, women may also receive hair transplantation surgery. Most of the time, surgery is not necessary in women as they do not lose all of their hair.
Hair loss in women can be treated. If you are experiencing this problem, it would be in your best interest to contact your family doctor or an experienced professional to get an initial assessment before you take action. The causes vary and you need the advice of a professional to determine if you need a particular treatment or maybe something as simple as a change in habits could be the cause.]]></description>
