Dandruff is due to the excessive shedding of dead skin cells from the scalp. The skin itself sheds every twenty-four days. Dandruff can occur at any age but is most commonly found in people aged between 12 and 80. Mild cases may need nothing more than daily shampooing with a gentle cleanser.
And stubborn flakes often respond to medicated shampoos. The yeast-like fungus that can cause or aggravate dandruff, a discovery that may lead to better treatments and even a whole new wardrobe.
Dandruff is an itchy, annoying and persistent skin disorder of the scalp. Some people, however, either chronically or as a result of certain triggers, experience an unusually large amount of scales, which can also be accompanied by redness and irritation. Over the past decade dandruff problems in the world became more severe and more frequent. As is normal for skin cells to die and flake off, a small amount of flaking is normal and in fact quite common. Most cases of dandruff can be treated with specialized shampoos or common household remedies.
Dandruff is a shedding of skin on the scalp that leads to white flakes on the head, neck and shoulders. It is a natural and harmless scalp condition in which the shedding of dead skin cells occurs at an extraordinarily fast. Because of the oily skin often associated with this condition, these cells clump together and flake off as dandruff. The skin of the scalp has many layers.
Dandruff and dark color shirt can never find a place together, because it looks really bad when someone brushes off the white flakes off your attire. At home, dandruff might not seem a big problem, but in later stages, can become problematic when you find that your skin is getting affected. Seborrhea dermatitis is a common skin disorder that can be easily treated.
Dandruff appears as scaling on the scalp without redness. Seborrhea is oiliness of the skin, especially the scalp and face, without redness or scaling. Patients with seborrhea may later get seborrhea dermatitis. Seborrhea dermatitis has both redness and scaling.
Causes of Dandruff:
The main causes of dandruff are impairment of general health, the development of a toxic condition mainly due to taking of wrong foods, constipation, and a low vitality due to infectious diseases. Another issue is caused by the organism called Pityrosporum-ovle that is present throughout the body of the scalp.
Dandruff is usually a result of too much oiliness of the skin and scalp, instead of dry. Although it is caused by the accumulation of dead skin, in many cases more severe, a yeast-like germ aggravates it. While this germ is normally present throughout the scalp, it can produce some irritation if it grows stronger. Hormones may also be another important cause, because dandruff usually starts after puberty and is more common in men than women. For unknown reasons, people with certain diseases such as Parkinson's disease, are more likely to have dandruff.
Symptoms of Dandruff:
The most common symptom of dandruff is itching and excessive flaking of the scalp. Your scalp can be excessively dry or oily. Severe cases may complain of dandruff scales appearing like lumps or crusts on the scalp. Dandruff is linked to the inadequacy of welfare and health, inadequate diet, constipation and low-functioning immune system, due to the development of toxic conditions or infectious diseases.
Other probable causes of dandruff include emotional tension, harsh shampoos, general exhaustion and overexposure to cold and heat conditions.

Understand Baldness and How You Can Reverse It
There is no magic potion that will instantly give you back a full crop of thick, lush hair. But if we look at the way advances in hair loss treatments have evolved recently, perhaps we're not far from it.
Hair loss can be caused by many factors, the most common being Pattern Baldness which affects more then 40% of the male population. Women also suffer from hair loss, although the causes can be quite different than in men. Baldness can be quite a degrading condition for millions of men and women, and can lead to psychological problems and feelings of self worthlessness. But the scientific discoveries in recent years have made the treatments for balding more effective, and like all medical conditions, if you act on the problem when it is in it's infancy, you've got a better chance of minimizing the effects, or even reversing the condition.
The causes for hair loss are many and varied. Genetic 'Pattern Baldness' is the most common, but there are other very common causes such as Hormonal Imbalance, Illness, Poor Diet, Poor Hygiene, Drug Abuse and Stress. These are just the core issues that contribute to the hair loss. To get a better understanding of exactly how the hair stops to reproduce entails a bit of a scientific look at how hair actually grows.
Hair grows in 3 stages. In the first stage (Anagen) a new hair is produced and this is the stage where most growth occurs. Next, in the Catagen (Regressive) stage, the hair has stopped growing but is yet to shed. In the final stage (Telogen) the hair is resting and eventually falls out, and a new one begins to grow. In Pattern Baldness, DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) miniaturizes hair follicles by shortening the Anagen (growth) stage and at the same time can also lengthen the Telogen (resting) stage. This is usually a gradual process, and the end result is an increase in the number of short, thin hairs which are barely visible above the scalp.
There is hope, because while any hair is growing then various treatments can be administered to re-balance/block the DHT and promote healthier hair growth once again. There is no single hair loss treatment that works for everyone. In fact, it would be quite amazing if somoene used a single baldness treatment that completely solved their problem. The best hair loss treatment is in fact a combination of the best known products in a way that is tailored to your individual circumstances.
Generally, the most effective regime for preventing/reversing hair loss is a combination of 3 or 4 products:
1) DHT Inhibitors - Work to inhibit the negative effects of DHT 2) Growth Stimulators - artificially stimulate growth in the hair follicle 3) Hair vitamins - these products actually provide all the clinical proven vitamins and minerals required to help hair grow to its fullest and thickest 4) Hair and Scalp Cleaners - these products provide proper hair and scalp hygiene and nutrition.
In all cases, the most effective hair loss treatment will involve a combination of the above options. That is because there is no single solution that tackles the cause and the effect of baldness in everyone.

Types Of Hair Loss Treatment Available
The hair loss treatments outlined here cannot provide definitive cures for all hair loss conditions, but they do represent regimes that many sufferers have found useful. In other words, they are examples of potential solutions that many patients have chosen after honestly assessing the causes of their hair loss together with their expectations.
This article will focus on four basic approaches:
1. A drugs based approach for those who don't mind taking strong medications.
2. A commercial product approach for those who prefer a non-drug solution but who still want a treatment that has a track record.
3. A natural remedy approach for those who prefer to follow the natural route.
4. A nutritional approach for those who wish to adopt a more holistic perspective.
It remains a fact that only two hair loss treatments have been approved by the FDA and both can be classed as strong drug-based medications. Propecia (finasteride) is the treatment of choice for many men with good reason - it tends to work! It is a powerful drug that inhibits the formation of DHT in the system, eventually to a level that is sufficiently low to encourage a normal growth cycle. Rogaine (minoxidil) acts differently in that it stimulates hair growth in both men and women by overriding the prevailing hair loss symptoms. These drugs can be used either on their own or in combination. Women should seek professional medical advice before using Propecia.
The world of commercial hair loss products is much less clear cut and it is here that many scamsters ply their trade to rip-off unsuspecting customers. The best advice I can give here is research, research, and more research! Many useful products are available on the market but none have been approved by the FDA. Probably the best, and certainly most popular, commercially available products are those containing natural ingredients that have been shown in field trials to reduce hair loss and encourage regrowth. You can find out more about these products by visiting the site listed at the end of this article.
Increasingly, people are turning to natural hair loss remedies as they seek to combat thinning hair. This has an obvious appeal for many sufferers and there is growing evidence to support the view that some natural remedies may be effective in curtailing hair loss. The most popular ingredients of natural hair loss treatments include ginko biloba, green tea, he shou wu, pygeum, saw palmetto and stinging nettle. Each of these is described in more detail in an supplementary article entitled "Herbal Remedies That Offer Hope".
It is becoming increasingly evident that poor nutrition and modern lifestyles can have a negative impact on health, and hair loss is no exception. At the most basic level, improved nutrition can minimize shedding and support other treatments that encourage regrowth. This can be achieved by:

The Truth About Hair Loss
It is normal to shed hair every day and the truth is we loose between 100 - 125 hairs on any given day. Hair that is shed falls out at the end of growth cycle. At any given time 10% of our hair is in what is called a "resting phase" and after 2- 3 months resting, hair falls out and new hair grows in its place. Some people, however, experience more hair loss than is normal.
As we get older, both men and women experience some hair loss. It's a normal part of the aging process. Called Androgenetic Alopecia, it accounts for 95% of all hair loss. Androgentic Alopecia often runs in families and affects some people more than others. In men it is often referred to as Male Pattern Baldness. It is characterized by a receding hair line and baldness on the top of head. Women, on the other hand, don't go entirely bald even if their hair loss is severe. Instead, hair loss is spread out evenly over their entire scalp.
Hormones play the dominant role when talking about Androgenetic Alopecia. Simple put, both men and women produce testosterone. Testosterone can be converted to dihydrotestosterone ( DHT) with the aid of the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase. DHT shrinks hair follicles causing the membranes in the scalp to thicken, become inelastic and restrict blood flow. This causes the hair follicles to atrophy. As a result, when a hair does fall out, it is not replaced.
Needless to say, men produce more testosterone than women and experience more hair loss.
While Androgenetic Alopecia is the number one reason why individuals experience hair loss, it is not the only one. Medical conditions such as hypothyroidism, ringworm and fungal infections can cause hair loss. Certain medications such as blood thinners, gout medication, birth control pills and too much vitamin A can cause sudden or abnormal hair loss as can following a crash diet, sudden hormonal changes, chemotherapy and radiation.
Emotional stress, pregnancy, or surgery can also cause our hair to fall out and is usually not noticed until 3-4 months after the stressful event has taken place. Stress can cause a slowing of new hair growth because a larger number of hair follicles enter into the resting phase and no new hair growth is experienced.
Another way in which individuals experience hair loss is due to mechanical stressors on the hair and scalp. Wearing pigtails, cornrows or tight rollers that end up pull on the hair can scar the scalp and cause permanent hair loss. Hair products such as hot oil treatments and chemicals used for permanents can cause inflammation to the hair follicles which can also result in scarring and hair loss.
For some, hair loss may be the early warning sign of a more serious disorder such as lupus or diabetes, so it is important to talk to your doctor. If you or someone you know is suffering from hair loss, here are some alternative health ideas that can help naturally.
Recommendations For Wellness
If you are taking prescription medications, talk to your doctor and find out if your medication is contributing to your hair loss.
Avoid mega-doses of vitamin A. Too much vitamin A can cause your hair to fall out.
Exercise, do yoga, meditate or find some other practice that will help to reduce your anxiety and stress levels.
Massage your scalp with rosemary oil in an olive oil base. Both rosemary oil and massaging the scalp can stimulate the circulation in the scalp and promote hair growth.
If you are a women, have your female hormones tested. If they are imbalanced, talk to your health care provider about bio-identical hormone replacements.
If you wear pigtails, cornrows, use a curling iron, hair dryer or hot rollers, try changing your hair style to one that puts less pressure and stress on your hair and scalp.
If hot oil treatments or chemicals such as those used in permanents are causing inflammation to the scalp, discontinue their use, or reduce the number of times you are using them.
Use gentle shampoos and conditioners to avoid any unnecessary damage to your hair.
In men, herbs such as saw palmetto and licorice root help block the formation of D HT. The same holds true for supplementation with zinc. As an added benefit, studies show that these supplements can also help prevent prostate enlargement.

Aromatherapy For Female Hair Loss
At 32 years of age, my hair suddenly started falling out by the handfuls. The hair loss began in August. By October, just two months later I was almost completely bald.
Other than having hair loss, my physical health was excellent. Since my medical tests all came back normal, my doctor advised me to get a good wig and get on with my life. My friends and family encouraged me to count my blessings rather than my shortcomings. They tried to convince me that I was still the same person on the inside, with or without hair. I didn't buy it. But I did get the wig and I did get on with my life.
A new friend I met happened to be a hairdresser who specialized in thin, fine hair. After confiding in her, she told me about the great results some of her clients had using aromatherapy. She armed me with books and information. I absorbed it all and kept learning more until I was ready to make my own scalp formula.
There were many essential oils to choose from. I especially liked
using peppermint oil. The tingling sensation it produced seemed to energize my scalp and my entire being. The scent of the oil perked me up so it was a great choice to use it the morning to get my day started.
At night I would experiment with more relaxing oils such as lemon, lavender, chamomile, cypress and carrot seed. I would often sleep with the oils on my scalp and wash them out in the morning. The drifting aroma seemed to lure me into a deep sleep, helping me to wake up refreshed and revitalized.
The essential oil formulas felt so healing and energizing on my scalp. It was as if I could "feel" them working! Within three months I began seeing and feeling soft new growth. Three months after that my entire scalp was filled in with new hair.
It's been fifteen years since my hair loss incidence. Every so often I find the beginnings of new bald patches or I notice more hair falling out than usual.
As soon as I notice the hair loss I begin treating it with essential oil formulas. My hair responds quickly to the aromatherapy treatments. I've been able to stop the hair loss and start the re-growth before it becomes noticeable.
At first I really didn't care how the essential oils worked. Just the fact that they did work was all I needed to know. But, because I became so fascinated with the effects and so fond of the aromas, I went on to formally study aromatherapy.
I think of essential oils as a "fertilizer for hair". They increase circulation to the scalp. The increased blood supply nourishes the hair follicles. They increase oxygen supply, encourage cellular regeneration and remove toxins. They thoroughly cleanse the scalp, removing excess sebum, dead skin cells and environmental pollutants.
Essential oils need to be diluted with fixed oils. Jojoba and castor oil turned out to be my favorites, as even on their own they are healthy for hair and used to promote growth.
Choosing the essential oils to use in your formula requires some research and knowledge. Certain essential oils cannot be used under certain medical conditions such as high blood pressure, pregnancy etc.
Your formula will be more effective if you choose oils specifically for own condition rather than a generic hair loss formula. You can customize your formula to address your specific scalp condition, such as dry, oily, itchy, sensitive, etc. You can further customize your formula by choosing oils that blend into a scent that you enjoy.
Although you apply the formula to your scalp, the healing doesn't stop there. Aromatherapy is known to produce an over-all feeling of physical, emotional and spiritual well-being that goes far beyond a better head of hair!

Aromatherapy for Hair Loss-Top Eight Essential Oils to Promote Growth
Losing my hair, handfuls at a time until I was practically bald was a painful experience for me. Fortunately I was able to overcome my hair loss and re grow my hair through the use of aromatherapy.
Learning about aromatherapy soon became my passion and my field of study. For fifteen years now I have been able to control my hair loss and maintain healthy hair with aromatherapy.
There are approximately 200 essential oils in use today. Of those, about 35 are commonly used for scalp and hair. Most people who work with essential oils settle into about 10 or 15 oils they can't live without. This article contains what I consider to be the top eight essential
oils to stimulate and maintain hair growth.
BASIL, (Ocimum basilicum). Basil oil is a powerful scalp stimulator. When applied to the scalp you can actually "feel" it working. It produces a warm, slightly tingling sensation. When I use basil I don't have to use a conditioner. My hair rinses out smooth, tangle free and squeaky clean. I've noticed that basil, more than any other essential oil, makes my hair look shiny, healthy and thicker.
CARROT SEED, (Daucus carota). Carrot seed oil is superior for hair and skin that is in need of nourishment, moisture and elasticity. It is indicated for alopecia areata, fragile hair, brittle hair and falling hair. It is calming to the skin and scalp. Carrot seed oil is rich in beta-carotene, vitamins A, B1, B2, and C, essential fatty acids and other nutrients. It is expensive and harder to find than most essential oils. Although some people find it pleasing, I am not particularly fond of the scent; but I am fond of the results!
CYPRESS, (Cupressus sempervirens). Imagine your self in a quiet forest surrounded by tall Cypress tress. The aroma of cypress oil can transport you to that soothing place. Cypress is used to reduce oiliness in the scalp and is good for dandruff. I use cypress if I am making a nighttime scalp formula that I will leave in while I sleep. It clears the mind and prepares it for sleep. It is important to use only the smallest amount (1 drop) in your formula or it could have the opposite effect. I like to blend it with orange and lavender in a base of jojoba.
LAVENDER, (lavendula vera) Lavender oil is a standard in hair and skin care. It has cell-regenerating properties. It is used to promote hair growth and to prevent future loss. It is effective for all hair types. Because it has the ability to regulate sebum production, it is useful for either oily or dry scalp. Lavender is often paired with rosemary in scalp and hair formulas. Together they produce an outstanding synergy for hair care.
LEMON, (Citrus limon) the essential oil comes from the rind, which is high in Vitamins A, B and C. Lemon oil is very versatile. It can be used for dry or oily hair because it helps to regulate sebum production. It is anti-aging and promotes cell-regeneration. It helps to restore the hair's natural ph level. Lemon oil can produce a healthy shine, especially to blonde hair.
PEPPERMINT, (Mentha piperita) If I could only have one essential oil for my hair it would be peppermint. It is refreshing and invigorating, excellent to use in the morning to get the day started! Peppermint produces a cool, tingling feeling as it energizes the scalp. It is used to promote hair growth, for dandruff and itchy scalp.
ROSEMARY, (Rosmarinus officinalis) Rosemary oil is very well known for it's superior hair care qualities. For hair care, it is probably used more often than any other essential oil, especially to promote hair growth. It is a powerful scalp stimulator for hair loss and to strengthen thinning hair. It is also used to shine and condition hair and to bring out highlights in dark hair.
TEA TREE, (Melaleuca alternifolia) Tea tree oil has become very popular. It is anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal. It is effective against any type of fungal condition of scalp such as ringworm. It is used to heal infections and to reduce itchiness. It removes build-up on the scalp and helps rejuvenate dull lifeless hair. It leaves hair soft, clean and manageable. Tea tree has a strong, clan medicinal scent.
It is important to know and follow all safety guidelines before using any aromatherapy products. Essential oils must be diluted properly before applying to skin. Certain oils cannot be used if certain medical conditions are present. Enlisting the help of a trained professional aromatherapist can help ensure a safe and effective formula.

LAVENDER, (lavendula vera) Lavender oil is a standard in hair and skin care. It has cell-regenerating properties. It is used to promote hair growth and to prevent future loss. It is effective for all hair types. Because it has the ability to regulate sebum production, it is useful for either oily or dry scalp. Lavender is often paired with rosemary in scalp and hair formulas. Together they produce an outstanding synergy for hair care.
LEMON, (Citrus limon) the essential oil comes from the rind, which is high in Vitamins A, B and C. Lemon oil is very versatile. It can be used for dry or oily hair because it helps to regulate sebum production. It is anti-aging and promotes cell-regeneration. It helps to restore the hair's natural ph level. Lemon oil can produce a healthy shine, especially to blonde hair.
PEPPERMINT, (Mentha piperita) If I could only have one essential oil for my hair it would be peppermint. It is refreshing and invigorating, excellent to use in the morning to get the day started! Peppermint produces a cool, tingling feeling as it energizes the scalp. It is used to promote hair growth, for dandruff and itchy scalp.
ROSEMARY, (Rosmarinus officinalis) Rosemary oil is very well known for it's superior hair care qualities. For hair care, it is probably used more often than any other essential oil, especially to promote hair growth. It is a powerful scalp stimulator for hair loss and to strengthen thinning hair. It is also used to shine and condition hair and to bring out highlights in dark hair.
TEA TREE, (Melaleuca alternifolia) Tea tree oil has become very popular. It is anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal. It is effective against any type of fungal condition of scalp such as ringworm. It is used to heal infections and to reduce itchiness. It removes build-up on the scalp and helps rejuvenate dull lifeless hair. It leaves hair soft, clean and manageable. Tea tree has a strong, clan medicinal scent.
It is important to know and follow all safety guidelines before using any aromatherapy products. Essential oils must be diluted properly before applying to skin. Certain oils cannot be used if certain medical conditions are present. Enlisting the help of a trained professional aromatherapist can help ensure a safe and effective formula.
Scalp Massage to Improve Hair Loss and Stimulate new Growth
Scalp massage for hair loss has been used throughout history by many different cultures. Massaging the scalp should be part of every hair loss regime. One of the most obvious benefits of scalp massage is increased circulation. The scalp, being an extremity is one of the hardest places for blood to flow. The increased blood flow helps to nourish the follicle. The scalp depends on blood flow to bring oxygen and nutrients to the hair follicles.
Tension causes tightness in the scalp, which restricts blood flow. Scalp massage restores pliability and relieves tension, helping to create an ideal environment for new hair growth.
Massaging the scalp also helps loosen and remove dead cells and excess sebum on the scalp, which can hinder new hair growth. Scalp massage helps to distribute the hairs natural oils to protect and condition the hair.
The benefits of scalp massage go beyond hair loss prevention. Seventy percent of our nervous system is in the head. A scalp massage activates neural pathways to the brain and stimulates unused brain cells. Besides that, scalp massage feels good! It is nurturing and relaxing to the whole body.
Scalp massage should include the face and neck. You can perform it yourself or have someone do it for you. Slide your fingertips under your hair and onto your scalp. Use the balls of your fingertips. Use gentle circular motions to stimulate your entire scalp.
Below are several variations of scalp massage to try.
HAIR PULLING MASSAGE
Glide fingers under scalp. Grab hair close to scalp. Pull gently. Relax grip then pull again. Do this 3 times and then move on. Repeat over entire scalp. This is stimulating to the scalp and it feels wonderful, especially if you have someone else do it for you!
INDONESIAN SCALP MASSAGE
Stand with your feet apart. Breathe slow and deep in and out. Gently lean forward from the waist, curving your spine until your head is just below your waist. Keep legs straight.

ORIENTAL SCALP TAPPING MASSAGE

TAPPING WITH BRUSH
Tapping your scalp gently with a boar bristle brush is an easy way to provide energy and circulation to the scalp.
AROMATHERAPY MASSAGE

Hair Loss in Women, Could Stress Be The Culprit?
Have you ever noticed that when a person feels stressed-out, their hair often looks frazzled and fried? Or that a depressed persons' hair often looks dull and lifeless, as if to match the way they feel. This is no coincidence. Our hair reflects our emotional state. There is no denying that stress affects the condition of our hair and can ultimately lead to hair loss.
Stress causes actual physiological changes in our body. These changes throw off our entire equilibrium, and affect every system of our body. Hair is very sensitive to any disturbances or changes within our body. If the disturbance is severe or prolonged the hair growth cycle becomes disrupted, causing excessive hair loss and delaying new growth.
Healthy hair growth is dependent on an intricately balanced hormonal system. An over or under production of certain hormones is a common cause of hair loss. When our body perceives stress, our glandular system responds by producing additional stress hormones.
Our body is well equipped to handle stress as long as there is plenty of time to recover between incidents. Unfortunately our busy hectic lifestyles provide little, if any recovery time between stressful events. This type of chronic, cumulative stress causes harmful effects to the body. Hair loss is often the first symptom.
Cortisol is one of the main hormones involved in combating stress. Too much or too little cortisol can cause hair loss. Cortisol is produced from the adrenal glands. The adrenal glands can become dysfunctional trying to keep up with the demands of stress. Any adrenal gland disorder can lead to hair loss.
Another stress hormone involved in hair loss is corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH). When stress is perceived, CRH signals the sebaceous glands to produce excessive oil. This oil called sebum creates a waxy substance on the scalp, making it difficult for new growing hairs to permeate. Excess sebum can create weak, thin, slow growing hair and hair loss.
Long-term, chronic stress weakens the entire immune system. When the immune system is suppressed the body is less able to fight off bacteria, yeasts, parasites, viruses, and other invading pathogens. This produces a hazardous environment within the body. Under these conditions the hair often responds by falling out.
Stress can also cause the immune system to lose its ability to turn off when it is no longer needed to fight off invasions. An over-activated immune system can trigger or worsen autoimmune conditions and inflammatory conditions. Hair loss is a symptom of many of these types of conditions.
Stress is known to decrease the release of acid in the stomach and to impair digestion. Hair loss is a symptom of gastrointestinal disorders such as Chrons and Celiac. When the digestive system is not functioning properly we may not absorb the nutrients needed to support hair growth. Large amounts of vitamins, minerals and proteins are secreted in the urine before they have a chance to reach our scalp. Extreme stress depletes important nutrients such as selenium and zinc. A deficiency of these nutrients can lead to hair loss.
Stress hinders proper circulation. Muscles become tense and stiff, restricting blood from flowing to the scalp. The scalp depends on blood flow to bring oxygen and nutrients to the hair follicles, and to remove toxins and environmental pollutants from the scalp.
Cumulative stress can cause cells to age faster and to eventually stop dividing. Hair is formed from cells at the base of each follicle. These cells multiply and differentiate to form each individual strand of hair. Cellular regeneration must occur in order for new hair to form.
Stress is a major factor in many of the medical conditions in which hair loss is a symptom.
Acute stress, when dealt with effectively has no negative effects on hair growth. It is the chronic, cumulative, prolonged stress that is so destructive to our system. This type of stress causes hopelessness, anxiety, depression, insomnia and bad habits. Often the first place this harmful stress shows up is in our hair. Significant changes in hair can be a warning sign of stress that has gone out of control. Hair loss caused by stress responds well to natural therapies such as massage, aromatherapy or reflexology.

Hair Loss Remedies for Men and Women
Regardless of your age, you need to be concerned about your hair. The appearance and quantity of hair that you have is a reflection of your internal health. You can use natural hair loss remedies to save your hair.
Of course, when you are young you have plenty of hair. But, there are even some of you at an early age, twenties, start to lose your hair.
The appearance and quantity of hair that you have is a reflection of your internal health.
Aside from a having a serious illness, your hair loss is affected by scalp cleanliness, stress, diet, and excess DHT. Knowing this, you can check out many hair loss remedies available to you.
Scalp cleanliness
If you have dandruff, you need to get rid of it. Dandruff can be a source of hair loss when it combines with dirt, shampoo chemicals, excess sebum follicle oil. Over time this combination of chemicals can create a film on your scalp that hardens and start to plug up your hair follicles. Once plugged, your follicles can't support hair growth.
Dandruff can be caused by excess stress, dry scalp, or chemical irritations. Look to see if you have excess stress in your life and find a way to reduce it. Chemical irritations can come from the shampoos that you are using.
Look for shampoos and conditioners that have natural ingredients. Start moving away from those hair products that have so many petrochemicals and dyes. Petrochemicals are those ingredients that you are not familiar with on the ingredient label - propylene glycol, phenoxyethanol, methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, and FD&C colorings.
Stress
Stress is a major contributors to many illnesses. It can also be the main reason you can experience loss of hair. Many years I was under a lot of stress at my new job. During the first 3 month there I experience excessive hair loss on the top of my head.
When you have hair loss due to stress, you can recover this hair if you take action right away. First look at your high stress level and start reducing it. Next, start supplementing your diet with a good hair loss nutritional supplement.
Diet
What you eat feeds your body. The type of body you have is based on what you eat. If you do not provide enough nutrients to your body, you hair will not receive enough nutrients to grow and be healthy. Your hair is last in line for the nutrient you supply your body. One way to improve your diet is eat more fruits in the morning and more vegetable for lunch and dinner. You can consider eating natural food hair loss remedies.
DHT (di-hydro-testosterone)
When excessive amounts of testosterone are converted to DHT by the enzyme 5 alpha reductase, this DHT accumulates at the hair root where it blocks blood circulation to that hair follicle. This decrease in blood to the hair root weakens it and it loses its health.
DHT also accumulates in the follicle and starts to plug it, thus further inactivating this hair follicle. The result is your hair start to thin out.
For women, DHT formation is not a major activity until menopause. Before menopause, estrogen blocks the formation of DHT. When estrogen decreases after menopause, DHT starts to form causing hair loss in women.
There are now shampoos that help to clean off accumulated DHT from the scalp and from within the hair follicles. Use them to stop hair loss and to recover some of the hair follicles that are still alive.
There are also some pills that block the formation of DHT in the blood, but I don't recommend them since it is not known what the longer term effects are of this blocking.

Top Hair Loss Reasons Exposed
There could be a number of different reasons for why you may start to lose more hair than would be considered normal. Yet although it was thought, for a long time, to be a problem that only men had to deal with, today there are quite a few women who have to deal with this condition as well. Below we look at some of the main hair loss reasons, which can result in this condition occurring no matter the person's age.
As mentioned previously hair loss has been thought of as a problem that men only have to deal with. Yet today it is just as common for some women to deal with the issue as well. In fact in the United States alone around 30 million women are now suffering from some form of hair loss.
Yet even though we have been fighting the problems of hair loss for many centuries now, you will find that many experts are still unable to decide what the main cause for this problem is. Below we will look at just some of the more common factors that can contribute towards a person losing their hair.
1. Heredity - This is the most common type of hair loss that people suffer from. Half of all children who have a parent who suffers from hair loss will also suffer from the same problem as well.
Yet even though many people think that this can only happen to men then they need to rethink this. You will find that pattern baldness is very common in men and women. There are plenty of women who currently suffer from Androgenetic Alopecia. The reason for this being that a woman is just as likely to carry the gene that causes this medical condition as a man and then transmit it on to their child.
2. Medical Intervention - Because we rely heavily on various forms of drugs, medications and other medical treatments to help get us well, these can actually contribute towards a person losing their hair. Certainly, people who undergo some form of chemotherapy or radiation therapy to treat cancer have a higher chance of suffering from some form of hair loss during their treatment. Normally once treatment has been completed, after a period of time, the person will often notice that they have some form of hair regrowth happening.
3. Imbalance In Hormone Levels - In some cases especially with women, it has been noted that their androgen and estrogen hormone levels have become imbalanced. When this occurs, the body will produce much more DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) which will prevent the right signals from passing through to the hairs follicles allowing them to grow hair properly.
In this article, we have looked at three main hair loss reasons, which can cause a person to suffer from this type of medical condition. You will find that along with these, there are others, which can be responsible for why a person has begun to lose their hair.

Hair Loss Causes For Women
Today 1 in 4 women will suddenly start to notice that they are losing more hair than would be considered normal. Often there are several different reasons, which have resulted in them losing hair. Below we look at the two main types of hair loss women may suffer from. Certainly the more a person learns the more they understand about the hair loss in women causes.
1. Androgenetic Alopecia known as female pattern baldness, in men it is known as male pattern baldness. You will find that with men, they lose their hair completely and for women with this condition it will result in the hair covering their scalp becoming thinner.
With this particular form of hair loss the main factors which result in this condition occurring is that their hormones are not working correctly. Just as with men when high levels of the hormone DHT appear in their body this can partially be the cause of the woman's hair loss.
However, along with a woman's hormones playing a role in them suffering from this form of hair loss it may be something that they have inherited from their parent. So do not think that just because your father lost his hair that you will do so as well. It needs to be a gene that both your parents carry in order for you to suffer from this form of hair loss.
2. Telogen Effluvium is caused when a woman goes through some traumatic event in her life. In many cases, women who have a traumatic childbirth, have been malnourished, undergo any form of major surgery, suffer severe stress, or an infection can see that they start to lose their hair.
The only difference between this type of hair loss and that mentioned previously is that usually a woman will notice a difference about 6 weeks to 3 months after the event has occurred. For some women the condition may be so severe that they begin to lose clumps of hair from particular areas of the scalp, rather than a general thinning of hair over the scalp as a whole. Nevertheless, with the right diagnosis and treatment, this can be brought under control and in most cases, they may find the condition goes into remission.
Yet for some women the condition may be very severe and they will find that it becomes chronic and can be a problem they have to live with for a number of months or years to come. For many women before they can find a treatment for the condition they first need to understand what may be the trigger for it happening.
Above we looked at the two most common kinds of hair loss in women. Cause of the conditions of hair loss mentioned is varied and yours may be different from the ones mentioned above.

Hair Loss Thyroid Problems
There are many reasons why a person could be losing their hair even at a young age. Some of these are because of hormonal changes taking place in their bodies, for others it may be to do with their dietary habits. Whilst for others it may be caused by severe stress (whether mental or physical) and for others it could be caused by a medical condition. Certainly, there is a connection between hair loss and thyroid problems.
In this article, we will look at why when a person's thyroid gland does not work properly it can actually affect regrowth of a person's hair. In addition, we look at what you can do should you begin to suffer from hair loss from this type of medical problem.
Anyone who suffers from either hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism has a much greater chance of losing his or her hair. The simple reason for this is that the hormonal changes taking place in their bodies cause the process of hair regrowth to either slow down or stop altogether.
Both of these types of thyroid medical problems force the follicles in a person's hair to remain dormant when they should be going through the growing phase. This will then prevent new hair growth from happening. Because their hair is unable to grow as it should, they will eventually start to lose it.
However, there are a number of things a person can do which will help them tackle this problem should they suffer from it. Below we offer a number of tips, which can help you tackle this kind of hair loss problem.
Tip 1 - It is important that the first step you should take is to obtain the right diagnosis for your condition. Just because you are losing your hair does not necessarily mean you have a thyroid problem. So seek the assistance of a good dermatologist, hair loss expert, or a doctor who deals in hair loss issues.
Tip 2 - If you do have a thyroid problem then it may well be down to the drugs you are taking to replace the thyroid hormone that you are deficient in. Certain thyroid drugs, such as Synthroid, can lead to excessive hair loss in a person as one of its possible side effects.
Above we have given you an explanation as to why hair loss and thyroid problems are associated and what you could do in order to prevent your problems from getting any worse.

Top Cause Of Female Hair Loss
There are a number of different reasons as to why a woman would suffer from hair loss in the same way as a man does. Yet even though some women will begin to lose their hair, they do not lose it to the same extent that a man does. Below we look at one reason which is the cause of female hair loss in women today and which is the most common of all the causes.
However, although we are learning more about female hair loss, many people still believe that it is something that is only a problem men have to face. You will find in the United States alone, there are around 30 million women who will suffer from some form of hair loss at some stage in their lives.
For quite a few women the reason that they start losing hair is because of their genetics. All women have hormones in their bodies called androgens, but for a few, these can actually interfere with the way that their hair grows normally. The main hormone in this group, which causes such a problem, is testosterone.
For some unknown reason because of a woman's genetic makeup, there are times when the testosterone hormone in her body comes into contact with an enzyme that makes it convert easily into DHT. When it does this the DHT is able to bind to the receptors deep inside the hair follicles which prevents messages from being able to gain entry and so prevent them from growing as normal.
Generally, this build up of DHT on the hair follicles takes some time so a woman will only see a gradual increase in their hair loss. The build up also causes the hair follicles to shrink and so the pattern for natural hair growth in a person begins to alter. Often as this happens, a woman is likely to notice that they are beginning to suffer from female pattern baldness or androgenic alopecia if you wish to use its medical name.
Yet even though this form of baldness in women is similar to the version that men get there are some slight differences between them. In most cases for women, it will be very difficult to see because it is diffused and often is a thinning of the hair rather than them losing hair and becoming bald. As for men they will start to see the line of hair begin to thin and then recede altogether. The most common place it occurs on women is on the top of their scalps, as for men it happens at the crown, on the temple, or at the back of the head.
The other main difference between the female version and the male version of pattern baldness is that men usually only start to suffer from it as they grow older. However, for women they can suffer from this kind of hair loss at any stage of their lives. In some cases it may well be that the loss has been caused by some other underlying medical condition that they have.
Along with the above, there are other reasons as to what is the cause of female hair loss in women. For some women the cause may be from some kind of medical condition. Whilst the cause for others may have been because a traumatic event has taken place in their lives and considerable stress has been placed on their bodies.

Therefore, there is no guarantee on how well they will work, even if you read about them working well for someone else. However, you should not have to worry about them causing you harm if you do decide to try them.
All the herbs, which we are suggesting for a hair loss treatment, work in a variety of different ways. Below we look at what some of these are and how they affect the way your hair looks and grows.
1. Chamomile - This is not only a great herb for helping to promote healthy new hair growth but is superb for helping to reduce stress levels. In some cases, the cause of hair loss can be that a person is under extreme pressure, which causes their stress levels to rise.
2. Burdock or Catnip - These two herbs can help with making your hair more healthy. This will help with making your hair stronger and thus less likely to suffer the effects hair loss may cause. These two herbs are usually found within a solution like, Hair loss shampoo or conditioner. Then all you would do is use them like you would normally use one of these products.
3. Saw Palmetto - One herb that seems to be having more written about in than many other herbs used for treating hair loss is this one. It helps to promote health growth by reducing the levels of DHT, a hormone in the body that if produced in excess amounts eventually weakens the hair follicles.
4. Green Tea - There was a study done in Japan that showed a benefit by drinking green tea. The tea helped by increasing the sex hormone binding globulin. The effects of this are that testosterone production is lowered; a major cause of hair loss in women is testosterone.
Along with the hair loss herbs that we have mentioned above, there are plenty of suggestions on other herbs that can help to treat this condition. Ones like apple cider vinegar, and sage tea, or psoralea seeds, which you apply directly to your scalp, or you can try ginger or liquorice extract instead.
Hair Loss Diet - Vitamins
Some forms of hair loss can be directly related to your diet. Making a change in the foods that you eat can often help slow or prevent your hair loss; it will also help keep your hair looking full and healthy. Here we will go over a few of the foods that you should include in a hair loss diet.
It is crucial that, from now on, you include in your diet foods contain plenty of calcium, iron, and silica. It is also important that you eat foods that are rich in protein, this being crucial to your hair growth. You also want to include a good balance of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients.
If you are not able to get the minimum daily values for the vitamins or minerals that you need then you should consider taking some form of supplement to help with reaching the levels needed. Another thing you should try to do is eat foods that are fresh and you should try to cook the foods when you plan to eat them, other foods can be eaten raw without cooking.
When it comes to making changes to your diet in order to prevent hair loss you should only eat those foods which are actually going to help promote further healthy hair growth. As mentioned you need foods that are high in certain vitamins and nutrients and below we look at what kinds these are and which types of foods contain them.
1. Vitamin C - You should make sure to take the right amounts of this vitamin, it helps in preventing hair from splitting and breaking. It will also help in the production of collagen. This then helps with the structure of tissues in the body (including your scalp) And makes everything bind together.
The best foods to focus on that will provide you with the right amounts of vitamin c are Citrus Fruits, Berries, And melons. You can also eat vegetables including potatoes, peppers, and dark green leafy veggies.
2. Copper - This mineral is found in trace amounts in the body, but it is still essential in the proper formation of hemoglobin. The hemoglobin allows the red blood cells to carry oxygen, it is also vital in that it helps insure that a sufficient amount of blood is supplied to the hair.
In order to increase the amount of copper that your body absorbs you should eat more organ meats (Such as liver), Seafood, and Seeds and nuts. You should note that you should never exceed the daily-recommended value of 2 MG of copper per day.
Along with those two nutrients that you should be ensuring that you get adequate amounts of in your hair loss diet, there are others as well. You need to make sure that each day you take the recommended daily amount of Vitamin A, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Zinc and protein.

Diet Hair Loss Treatment
Now, the last hair loss treatment I want to mention is diet. Diet can play a big role in the health of your scalp and hair. This is perhaps the cheapest option but also the most difficult to pursue because it requires serious dedication. Eating healthy is not easy – but if you want maximum hair loss prevention, you should pursue a healthy diet.
The type of foods you want to eat will be rich in both zinc and calcium. These foods help to promote healthy hair growth.
There are various hair loss supplements and hair loss vitamins you can consume which will give your body the needed nutrients to strengthen and regenerate hair.
These are the basic hair loss treatments you can pursue to stop hair loss problems. The key is to try as many treatments as possible, combining diet, hair loss medications, and stress control to stop hairloss and start to regrow your hair. If everything else fails, you can always consider hair transplants as the last resort solution.

Reduce Stress to Treat Hair loss
Hair loss can also be caused by too much stress. If you work a high pressure, stressful job, or are experiencing constant stress, you need to try and treat this problem. Treat your stress and you will indirectly help to stop your hair loss. One of the best ways to counter stress is to check into a health spa resort. Health spas give you a variety of full body relaxation treatments and powerful herbal remedies applied to your skin – and scalp. You can even expect scalp massages and detoxification treatments. All of these will help to reduce your stress. Over time, you may find your hair starts to regrow!
Hair loss medication
Another hair loss treatment that’s effective is direct scalp hair loss medication. This hair loss treatment, however, can be expensive because it requires frequent trips to the clinic to have the medication massaged onto the scalp. The treatment is wonderfully effective though for hair loss caused by improper hair care and environmental factors (pollution, excess sun, etc). Direct scalp hair loss medication is pretty much effective for any type of hair loss other than inherited baldness.
I find that direct scalp treatment medication helps to keep both the scalp and the hair on the scalp both clean and healthy. Many people report hair regeneration over any bald spot the medication is constantly applied to.
Besides actual hair loss medication, there are special hair loss shampoos (both natural and synthetic) that help to promote hair growth. The effectiveness varies, but many people some good results with the best hair loss shampoos on the market.

Best Hair Loss Treatment
Hair loss treatments have come some way in the last few decades. No longer does a balding man have to resort to surgical implants or wearing a hairpiece. Let’s find out more.
There are currently two drugs on the market that have FDA approval for use in treating hair loss. Soon there will be a third.
Minoxidil is one of two FDA approved treatments for hair loss.

The Costs of Hair Transplants
If you are faced with severe hair loss which your doctor confirms is not caused by a temporary factor, then one option that you may want to consider is a hair transplant. However, in order to make that decision, you will probably first want to know, amongst other things, how much would a hair transplant cost you.
Depending on the cause of your hair loss, you may find that your medical insurance covers at least part of the cost of the surgery. For example if your receding hairline is considered to be a reconstructive treatment as it was caused by something like trauma or burns, then it may be covered. Otherwise, you will have to bear the hair transplant cost yourself.
Although with older transplant techniques it remained very noticeable that someone had undergone a cosmetic hair process, with todays new hair transplants you should be left with a completely natural looking hair-line. Unless anyone knew you before the process, they shouldn’t be able to spot that you have had a hair transplant.
Most people are suitable to be considered for hair transplants although it is unusual for a hair transplant process to be carried out on someone very young. In addition, some surgeons prefer for other avenues to have been explored first before a hair transplant is considered, in particular for people with mild or moderate hair loss.
Although most people think of hair transplants as occurring on your scalp - in fact that is also the angle that has been dealt with here so far - hair transplants can also be used on other parts of your body. For example it could be used to restore eyebrows where some accident has stopped their re-growth. It can also be used to cover scars from previous surgery and for men, could be used to fill in a beard.
Whatever company you decide to consult, be sure that they are qualified to carry out hair transplants and have experience of carrying out this type of surgery.
If you want to find out more details about hair transplants and your suitability for this process, ask your regular medical professional, or contact a person who is a qualified member of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery.

As well, some medications have side effects that include loss of hair. Or it could be a nutritional deficiency causing the problem. If you’re not getting enough protein in your diet, your hair will become thin and weak, causing it to break off more easily.
Another possible cause of hair loss in women is the overuse of common hair products. A lot of damage is caused by the excessive use of chemical products on the hair such as dye, lighteners or straighteners, which can lead to hair loss over time. Simply avoiding the use of these products, or at least using them less frequently, can solve the problem.

Everything about hair growth
Nothing in life is as simple as it seems, so it should come as no surprise that the strand of hair that you found on your brush this morning is an amazingly complex part of your body. A human’s hair growth starts inside the womb as a developing fetus. After 22 weeks of developing, a fetus has about 5 000 000 follicles on its body. Interestingly enough, that is all of the follicles that will ever develop regardless of how long we live.
The Anatomy of Hair
Hair consists of a follicle, which is embedded in the skin, and the shaft of hair which appears on our body. A follicle consists of various layers, each with its own specific function. The papilla can be found in the base of each follicle. Capillaries are connected to the papilla and they supply blood to the cells which surround the bottom part of the hair strand called the bulb.
Surrounding the follicle are two sheaths, inner and outer, which are designed to both protect the hair shaft from damage, and to help it grow out in the proper direction. Inner sheaths run next to the hair shaft, ending in the oil gland (sebaceous). The outer sheath also runs into the glands but they end in the erector pili muscle. This is the muscle that causes our hair to “stand on end” when it contracts.The hair shaft is comprised of three layers of dead protein cells called keratin. The medulla is the innermost layer, but is not always present in every hair shaft. The Cortex is the second layer and it provides the bulk of the hair shaft. Hair pigmentation can be found in the cortex, determining the color of our hair. The cuticle is the outermost layer of the hair shaft.It is comprised of a series of overlapping cells. The cuticle also gives luster and sheen to the hair.
The way hair grow
Scalp hair grows at an average rate of only 0.3mm to 0.4mm per day, adding to a mere six inches per year.
There are three distinct stages of hair growth.
Catagen Phase
This phase is the transitional phase and it runs about two or three weeks. At any given time you will find approximately 3% of your hair in this phase. There is no hair growth during this period while the out portion of the hair root sheath shrinks and attaches itself to the root.
Telogen Phase
This phase, known as the “resting period” is experienced by approximately 15% of your hair. The Telogen phase for scalp hair lasts for around 100 days and significantly longer for any other hair on your body.
Anagen Phase
This phase defines a period of activity where the hair cells are dividing and new hair growth occurs. This phase can last for as long as two to six years. People who have trouble growing their hair long usually experience shorter growth periods.
Hair Growth Disorders
Humans are mostly affected by two hair growth disorders. Hirsutism is the most common condition that affects mostly females. It can be defined as a condition with excessive dark and thick hair growth (in areas typically reserved for males) is experienced by a female. The areas may include the face, chest, areolae or the area around the nipple. Hypertrichosis is the other common condition, causing excessive hair growth in areas of the body where visible hair is not normally present. Both of these conditions are treatable.
