Women’s Hair Loss / Female Hair loss
The topic of hair loss is a big one that affects many people in the population. We have all seen the commercials and late night advertisements promising balding men a re-growth of hair. We’ve seen the commercials that make you think when you re-grow your hair you will get all the beautiful women and be more successful. But most of us know that this is just a marketing scheme to sell product.
But what about the women that suffer from hair loss? We don’t see that as much on TV. But women’s hair loss is a very common problem although it may not be talked about as much. It is estimated that 1 in 4 women may suffer from some type of hair loss at some time in their lives.
While this hair loss may be a very common thing, it can still be very traumatic to a woman who is losing her hair. So if you are experiencing something like this, then what should you do? Well, the first thing you should do is learn as much as you can about women’s hair loss and try to learn what may be causing your hair loss.
If you can determine what may be causing your hair loss, or at least rule out what is not causing it, then you will be closer to finding a successful treatment. You might also want to take some time to consider why your hair loss bothers you. Is it severe? Or does it only seem severe to you? Do you have thinning all over or do you have hair loss in patches? These questions will help you determine your hair loss treatment options and help you decide which is best for you.
When looking for an effective treatment for female hair loss, you need to know that some treatments do not help you re-grow hair that has been lost. Some treatments will help stop hair loss. There are some remedies designed to cover up hair that is lost. There are natural remedies if you worry about what you might be putting in or on your body.
Essentially, there is a treatment for almost anyone. The key is just finding the treatment that works for you. You might also find it helpful to talk to other women who may be experiencing hair loss or who have gotten treatment for their hair loss in the past. This can help you feel better about your own situation.
You do not have to go through hair loss alone. There are many people out there going through the same thing. There are many resources to help you and many people who understand exactly what you are going through. If you have the internet, then there are just more ways for you to connect with people who have experienced what you are going through. With the internet, you have a wealth of information literally at your fingertips and you should take advantage of it whether it be regarding women’s hair loss or other issues in your life.

The main causes of hair loss in women.
by Richard Mitchell
When you think of hair loss it's natural to assume that it's a
condition that predominantly affects men. Some experts however suggest
that as many as one in four women will experience hair loss at some time
in their lives. So why don't we see and hear more about it? Perhaps the
answer has something to do with one or more of the following:
- Women are better at disguising hair loss.
- Women's hair loss is generally less extensive in terms of severity.
- Women's hair loss tends to be spread evenly over the head rather than
concentrated in one or two spots.
So why do women lose hair - are the causes very different to those that
result in male baldness? There are probably three common reasons for
hair loss in women:
1. Female pattern baldness - believe it or not, most women
affected by hair loss lose it for the same reasons as men. They suffer
from androgenetic alopecia which is a reaction to male hormones in the
body, specifically the conversion of testosterone into the
hair-unfriendly DHT. In the case of women, pattern baldness may start
later and the effects may be less extreme due to the influence of female
hormones, but the condition is nonetheless the same as that found in
male pattern baldness.
2. Telogen effluvium - this is regarded as the second most common
cause of women's hair loss and this is unsurprising given the nature of
the condition. Telogen effluvium is characterized by a general thinning
of the hair and is usually brought about as a result of some traumatic
event causing sufficient stress to interfere with the normal hair growth
cycle. Given that pregnancy is a prime example of the type of event that
can shock the hair growth cycle then perhaps the high incidence of
telogen effluvium amongst women is only to be expected.
3. Alopecia areata - this is the third most common hair loss
condition to affect women. It is characterized by patchy areas of hair
loss on the head or it can be more widespread over the body. It is
thought to be caused by deficiencies in the immune system but much is
still not known about the condition. In many cases the hair regrows
spontaneously after a variable period of time, but in a minority of
cases the problem may be more severe and longstanding.
If you experience any form of hair loss arrange to visit your physician
to discuss the treatments that may be suitable for your particular
condition.
