Women And Their Hair
Posted by: | Comments
FollowHair loss is normally seen as a ‘guy’s issue’ as it is quite a common sight to see bald men or men with receding hairline. However, what many people don’t realize (or rather, what many women manage to hide) is that hair loss in women is just as common. Moreover, it is more devastating for the woman when it does happen. This is because women see their hair as the main part of their beauty, it is something that most women take pride in and thus, the psychological impact of hair loss in women is much greater than in men. The good thing about hair loss in women is that it normally does not result in total hair loss unlike the male counterparts.
Hair Loss Causes
Posted by: | CommentsWhen 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.
What Is So Normal About Hair Loss
Posted by: | CommentsIt is important to note that shedding of hairs is a natural process with anything from 100 to 300 hairs randomly shed each day. In this article we’ll look at two distinct aspects of normal hair loss. Firstly, we’ll examine what is actually involved in the hair growth cycle. Secondly, we’ll assess the natural progression of hair loss over time.
Hair is composed of long, twisted keratin fibers that are protected by a coating of keratinized cells. Just below the surface of the skin lies a cluster of active cells known as the dermal papilla and it is from here that the hair grows into its follicle.
Treating Hair Loss Conditions
Posted by: | CommentsMinoxidil is one of only two FDA-approved treatments for hair loss and is the only anti-baldness drug approved for women. Originally introduced as a medicine to treat high blood pressure, it was noticed that users began to grow extra hair. It is now available without prescription as a topically applied liquid in solutions like Rogaine, but cheaper generic versions are also available. A 2% solution is marketed as a treatment for both men and women, but a 5% version is approved only for men.
Do Natural Hair Loss Remedies Have Any Real Relevance
Posted by: | CommentsThe effectiveness of modern hair loss treatments is clear for all to see, but many people simply prefer not to use strong chemicals or non-natural substances.
If you fall into this category, does this mean you’ll just have to accept an ever-decreasing head of hair? The answer to this is an unequivocal NO!
Many natural hair loss remedies, both traditional and contemporary, have shown their worth in reducing and reversing hair loss. They are also perceived as being free from side effects and even deliver additional health benefits.
Are Hair Loss Treatments Effective?
Posted by: | CommentsThe hair loss industry is not one that inspires great confidence in most people. I have to admit this is perfectly understandable given the damage caused by the many rogues and charlatans who have abused the trust of far too many vulnerable people – people who have received worthless and even dangerous products or advice in exchange for their hard earned cash. The end result is the prevalance of a stigma that the industry is hard pressed to shake off.
Medical Hair Restoration – Getting Your Hair Back Permenantly
Posted by: | CommentsBalding is something that happens to most men and some women. While many men adapt to the fact that they are losing their hair, others seek remedies and treatments to help prevent the hair loss and even to replacement procedures. Medical hair restoration is one method of obtaining a permanent solution to hairloss. This is suitable for both men and women and produces a very natural looking head of hair. Medical hair restoration is also called hair transplants and if this is something that you are considering, you should contact a specialist in the field.
Use Home Remedy As Hair Loss Cure
Posted by: | CommentsAlthough most doctors will tell you there is no such thing as a hair loss cure, there are many products on the market proposing that they can cure your hairloss problem. One of these is Rogaine, a topical treatment that you have to apply to the scalp twice a day. However, this treatment is not a hair loss cure because once you stop using it, you start to lose your hair again. If you look at the list of ingredients in this hair loss product, you will see that the main one is alcohol. This is one of the top ingredients that has been used for years in hairloss cures.
Find Out The Causes Of Sudden Hair Loss
Posted by: | CommentsTwo of the leading causes of sudden hair loss are genes and stress. Hair loss may be inherited, but this is usually not sudden, but happens over time. What is sudden about it is that you notice large clumps of hair staying on the brush or comb when you do your hair each morning. Although this is common in males, it does happen to females as well. Severe stress has also been identified as a cause of sudden hair loss because it interferes with the inner workings of the body’s hormones. This can be psychological stress or trauma to the body following an accident or major surgery.
Choosing Hair Loss Remedies
Posted by: | CommentsHair Loss Remedies are big business, especially on the internet. However not all hair loss remedies are equal, and before you decide that it’s time to tackle your hair loss problem, you might like to think a little more about whether you need to seek out a hairloss remedy, and if so how.
The first thing you need to do before even thinking of looking for hair loss remedies is to consult your doctor. Not all hair loss is permanent. There are various medical conditions and medical treatments which cause hair loss. But when the condition or treatment is over the hair naturally grows back.
