Hair Problem - Dandruff Causes and Symptoms

2009-11-08T03:10:00.000-08:00

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

2009-07-06T07:39:00.001-07:00

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

2009-07-06T07:38:00.002-07:00

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:

eating adequate amounts of protein
eating appropriate levels of useful carbohydrates
achieving a healthy balance of dietary fats

The Truth About Hair Loss

2009-07-06T07:38:00.001-07:00

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

2009-07-06T07:37:00.000-07:00

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

2009-07-06T07:36:00.002-07:00

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.

Scalp Massage to Improve Hair Loss and Stimulate new Growth

2009-07-06T07:36:00.001-07:00

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. Gently tap your scalp all over with your knuckles for 30 seconds. Slowly raise your body and repeat in an upright position.

ORIENTAL SCALP TAPPING MASSAGE
Place fingers at the center of the skull base and begin to tap about 30 times. Work your way outwards towards the ears and continue tapping. Then go back to the center of the skull, a little higher up and repeat process in this manner until entire scalp is tapped.

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
Adding essential oils or nourishing herbal infused oils can increase the effectiveness of scalp massage. Dab a small amount of the prepared formula onto fingertips. Place fingertips under hair, directly onto scalp and massage in circular motion. Continue until scalp has been massaged, paying extra attention to thinning areas.

Hair Loss in Women, Could Stress Be The Culprit?

2009-07-06T07:35:00.000-07:00

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

2009-07-06T07:30:00.000-07:00

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

2009-06-18T02:19:00.002-07:00

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

2009-06-18T02:19:00.001-07:00

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

2009-06-18T02:18:00.003-07:00

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

2009-06-18T02:18:00.001-07:00

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.

Best Hair Loss Treatment

2009-06-13T21:21:00.001-07:00

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. It was originally developed for treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) but was found to have a beneficial side effect - some men reported their hair loss stopping and even experienced regrowth of hair in their receding hairline and bald spots.

Finasteride was originally a prostate cancer drug but was also found to reverse hair loss and even encourage hair regrowth. Minoxidil was originally a drug used to treat high blood pressure but was also found to have good abilities to help with hair loss and regrowth.

Minoxidil usually comes as a liquid or a foam and must be rubbed into the scalp daily. There are two strengths available. Men will experience greater hair regrowth with the stronger version but the side effects are also more severe. You should monitor your blood pressure while using Minoxidil as it can lower the blood pressure significantly.

Actually, men with male pattern baldness have a greater propensity for getting prostate cancer so it has been known for some time that DHT is linked to both prostate cancer and male pattern baldness. It is generally only prescribed for men because if women even touch trace amounts of the drug they can harm an unborn child.

Natural Treatments

As I mentioned earlier, all these treatments work in the same way. You want to stimulate the hair follicle. To this end, there are many natural ingredients that indigenous tribal people have been using for centuries, way before drugs or lasers were invented.

The principle is very similar to the drugs above - specific substances can encourage circulation and better nutrition to the hair follicles, as well as inhibit DHT - the male androgen linked to male pattern baldness.

Do you enjoy combing over that bald spot? Wish you could stop balding and even regrow some of your old hair back? If you want to experience new hair growth and eliminate your bald spots and receding hairline Hair Loss Conquered might be just the solution your looking for. This is a great step-by-step instructional guide to stopping your hair loss and regrowing your hair.

The Costs of Hair Transplants

2009-06-13T21:20:00.003-07:00

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.

Everything about hair growth

2009-06-13T21:19:00.001-07:00

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.

Lasertron For Hair: Men and women across the country have experienced the benefits of the Lasertron brush. It’s a technological breakthrough designed to satisfy your desire for thicker, fuller, and healthier looking hair. The company Web site says this technology is so cutting edge that the Lasertron Brush is currently undergoing clinical testing at a United States Medical Institution, and has worldwide patents pending.

Past efforts to address hair loss problems have focused on four types of treatments.

Perhaps you’ve heard about some of these solutions, and how time consuming and expensive they can be. Now, an easy-to-use brush for men and women has combined all of these treatment solutions into one.

Albert Einstein was a pioneer in the development of therapeutic laser applications. In the early 1960s Endre Mester pioneered the use of low-level laser technology for the purpose of therapeutics, improving the healing of wounds through the use of his laser. The company’s Web site says advances in the use of lasers for medical treatment have been more successful and its uses broadened, including the use of lasers in treatment of hair loss since that time.

Here’s how it works:

Massage the pre-treatment cleanser into your hair.
Apply the Treatment Solution which inhibits DHT, a major cause of hair loss.
Brushing your hair for 15 minutes, three times a week, with the Lasertron Brush will stimulate cells and energy production.

Low level laser light energy is a compressed light from the cold red part of the spectrum. Different from natural light in that its color is precise, exists on a single wavelength, and travels perfectly straight and true to a precisely defined point. Therefore, this form of laser light penetrates the skin surface without damaging it and with no known side effects.

Female Hair Loss Treatment

2009-06-10T22:37:00.001-07:00

Hats are For Fashion Not to Cover-Up Your Bald Spots!Nothing can be more devastating for a women than to realize that her hair is coming out far more extensively and rapidly than is normal. (Normal is 100-150 strands a day). Each hair grows for a period of 2-6 years, goes through a short dormant period and then falls out as the follicle pushes through a new hair. When new hairs do not replace the old or when hair is coming out in clumps or sections, there is definite cause for concern.

Female hair loss comes from a variety of causes – some temporary, some permanent. Temporary causes include pregnancy, anxiety and stress, too many strong treatments (coloring, bleaching), too much manipulation, illness, disease, and infections of the scalp. Fortunately, regrowth occurs naturally when as these causes dissipate. Permanent hair loss occurs as a result of heredity and hormonal changes and unfortunately is not reversed naturally. Women usually see hair loss begin at areas of parts, where parts become wider.

Female pattern baldness occurs primarily in the frontal areas; then, there is general overall hair loss, resulting in a continual thinning of the entire head with the scalp becoming more and more visible.Treatments for female hair loss include a number of things:

1. Diet plays some role in hair loss, so it is important to commit to a healthy well-balanced diet at all times.

2. Exercise increases blood circulation to all areas of the body, the scalp included. Some studies have shown that increased blood circulation to the scalp can assist in the stimulation of follicles to begin to produce hair again.

3. There are a number of natural herbal and oil remedies, most of which are topical, that is, they involve applying solutions directly onto the scalp with the effect of opening up closed follicles and enhancing the chance of hair production. These have varying degrees of success, dependent upon the individual.

4. Wigs and hair extensions can provide non-permanent relief for sufferers and, fortunately, these are considered acceptable fashion accessories today.

5. A number of medical products have also been developed specifically for females. It is important to state here that women must be certain that products they use are specifically designed for them. Male hair products often have ingredients which can be harmful to women, particularly those of child-bearing age. Medical products are available through prescription and over-the-counter. It would be wise to consult with a physician first, before using any of these, to be certain that they are not contra-indicated with any other medication currently being used and to be certain that the hair loss is not the result of some other medical condition. Provillus has products designed specifically for women, and is FDA approved. Research studies on the effectiveness of these and other products, in terms of both reducing loss and promoting regrowth, is readily available on the Internet, through a “Google” search. Some offer money-back guarantees, and most have testimonies from satisfied users. Success varies by individual, and success or lack of success from one customer does not necessarily relate to your body’s response.

6. There are also a number of surgical procedures available for women, including transplants and grafts. These are expensive and should be explored carefully before committing to the cost.The distress over hair loss is an individual matter. If yours bothers you on a daily basis and you are beginning to avoid normal social activities due to embarrassment, you owe it to yourself to take action. Life is to be enjoyed!

Female Hair Loss Treatment- Essential Points to Check

2009-06-10T22:36:00.002-07:00

You may or you may not have a good female hair loss treatment solution. The problem is finding out if the product you are using for your hair condition is not just taking advantage of you. The key is to evaluate a product properly before using it on yourself. Fortunately, there are a couple of guiding points you can use to determine if a product is any good.

Reputation

Find out how well a product sits with consumers and users. You can easily do this by searching for and reading reviews of products. Be careful though, not every product review online is independent or real. Some are written by ghost writers or affiliates who may not have tried using the products themselves. There are however, a couple of independent review sites that post actual consumer feedback. Reading a couple of bad reviews along with some good ones will give you a more balanced idea of a product’s merits.

Consumers may also post reviews about more than just the product qualities. Some may also provide feedback on fake money back guarantees advertised by manufacturers. The mere fact that a product’s “no questions asked money back guarantee” is not easy to obtain may say a lot about a product and its manufacturers.

Website Data

Before considering a female hair loss treatment product, you should have at least researched about hair loss in general. This will arm you with the necessary information to check if a product page is in line with the most recent medical research about female pattern balding.

Read every page of a product site. Find out what ingredients a product carries, how it says it can solve your problem and what it says about hair fall in women. If some points do not tally with your sound research, you should become at least a little wary.

Customer Service

Quality customer service is one other clue that a product is what it says it is. Manufacturers who make rip-offs sometimes do not maintain a real customer service team. Try using the contact information provided to see if you are able to connect with real people. You can even ask a few questions to check if the person on the other end knows diddlysquat about the product in question.

A good female hair loss treatment is not always easy to come by. With a little vigilance and smart evaluation though, you may be able to find some real product gems in all the muck.

Hair loss - Causes and Treatment options

2009-06-10T22:36:00.001-07:00

Medications can also cause hair loss. Especially medicines used to treat cancer, anti – depressant, excess of vitamin A can cause hair loss. Hair usually returns to normal once the medications are stopped. The most common cause of hair loss in men is male pattern baldness. It is caused due the conversion of hormone testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by enzyme 5 – alpha reductase. DHT cause male hair loss by shortening the growth, by miniaturization of follicles, producing progressively shorter, finer hairs. Slowly these hairs disappear totally.

Whatever the cause and symptom, hair loss is a source of dejection

2009-06-10T22:33:00.000-07:00

Hair loss is a difficult matter to face for both men and women. It is the thinning of hair on the scalp. The medical term for hair loss is alopecia. Alopecia can be either temporary or permanent. Heredity and hormonal imbalance can cause gradual hair loss that is referred to as ‘androgenetic alopecia’.

Define Hair Loss

Hair is made up of a keratin, a protein that is produced in the hair follicles. When new cells are produced the old cells are pushed out through the surface of the skin. This cycle of new hair growth and losing old hair is termed as ‘natural hair loss’. When hormonal changes and heredity are the cause for hair loss then it is termed as ‘androgenetic alopecia’. Patches of baldness that normally grow back are termed as ‘alopecia areata’. Rapid shedding of hair after childbirth, fever, or sudden weight loss is termed as ‘telogen effluvium’ and thinning of hair from tight braids or ponytails is normally referred to as ‘traction alopecia’. Hair loss is generally age-related and occurs gradually in both males and females, but is more pronounced in males.

The average adult head has about 100,000 hairs at any given time and loses up to 100 of them a day. So a few stray hair here and there cannot necessarily be termed as a problem.

Each hair usually grows in repeated cycles — that is growth, rest, falling out and re-growth. Usually this cycle repeats itself yearly and as a result 90% of the scalp hair is growing at any given time; this phase lasts between two and six years. 10% of scalp hair is in the resting phase, lasting between two and three months. At the tail end of the resting phase, the hair goes through the shedding phase. When a hair is shed, it is replaced by a new hair.

Symptoms of Hair Loss

Male-pattern baldness is hereditary and therefore runs in families. It usually sets in around the late twenties or thirties. Following a set pattern, the first stage is usually a receding hairline, followed by thinning of the hair on the crown and temples. It can even progress to complete baldness, although it is rare. The symptoms of hair loss in men include:

Thinning hair on the scalp
A receding hairline
A horseshoe-shaped hair loss pattern leaving the crown exposed

With age, women generally notice thinning of hair, but they tend to lose hair mostly from the top of the head. This becomes more noticeable after menopause. It is also called androgenetic alopecia, or female-pattern hair loss. Baldness in females also runs in families. In women it includes:

Thinning of hair in general
Thinning of hair at the crown

In addition other symptoms may be:

Sudden loss of patches of hair in which the immune system attacks the hair follicles and can affect all body hair – alopecia areata
Complete loss of all hair on the body – alopecia universalis
Patches of broken hair or bald patches because of the hair being pulled out – trichotillomania.
Excessive shedding of hair after various illnesses or drug treatments, rapid weight loss, anemia, stress or pregnancy – telogen effluvium
Inherited hair loss – androgenetic alopecia
Hair loss because of fungal infection – tinea capitis

Hair being an important part of our appearance, its loss can result in loss of self-esteem and a feeling of unattractiveness, especially in women and teens.

Causes of Hair Loss

Although hair loss causes vary from person to person, there are various causes that result in scalp hair loss. However, most hair loss is not associated with systemic or internal disease or poor diet. Apart from genetics, hormonal changes as well as aging in men, women mostly lose hair due to poor circulation, hormonal changes after menopause, childbirth and poor diet.

Other causes of hair loss include stress, diabetes, certain drugs, chemicals and hair dyes and vitamin deficiencies.

In addition, disease like thyroid can also result in hair loss. Many medications also list ‘hair loss’ as one of their side effects. Moreover, cancer treatments like chemotherapy and immune suppression medications can result is loss of hair. Similarly, fungal infections may also result in hair loss.

Normally, each scalp hair has a life of around three years when in the growing (anagen) phase. Then the hair enters the resting (telogen) phase. Normally, about 10% of scalp hairs are in the telogen phase. In this three-month period, the hair root shrivels up into a small white ‘club’ a then falls out. Therefore, it is considered to be normal to lose about 100 hairs every day and more on days when the hair is shampooed. Shampooing loosens the hair root of the hairs that are ready to fall out. These hairs are then replaced.

Our circumstances or certain life altering evens may also ‘shock our system’ into altering our hair growth rhythm. This may put 30-40% of our hairs in the telogen phase. This normally happens after:

Childbirth
High fever
Sudden weight loss (crash dieting)
Surgery
Emotional trauma

Hair loss may or may not follow these events, depending on individual threshold. Strangely enough, the more dramatic the hair loss, the better is the prognosis. This is so because once the body gets back into shape almost all the hair will come back.

Other probable causes of hair loss are follicular deterioration, zinc or iron deficiency and use of steroids.

How to stop hair fall.

2009-06-10T22:32:00.002-07:00

Hair loss can occur after pregnancy, major stress trauma or illnesses. There are some medicines as well which can cause hair loss. You can prevent this if you stop taking those medicines, but after consulting a doctor. Medicines that can cause this include blood thinners, also called anticoagulants, medicines for gout problems, medicines used in chemotherapy for cancer, excessive intake of vitamin A, birth control pills & even certain antidepressants. Certain infections like fungal infections of the scalp can also cause hair loss. These are easily treated with some antifungal medicines. Lastly, hair loss may also occur as part of a disease that you may be suffering, such as diabetes. It is important to find the cause so that it can be treated since hair loss is usually an early sign of a disease. Depending on your type of hair loss, treatments are available. If a medicine is causing your hair loss, your doctor may be able to prescribe a different medicine. Recognizing and treating an infection may help stop the hair loss. Correcting a hormone imbalance may prevent further hair loss.

Medicines may also help slow or prevent the development of common baldness. One medicine, minoxidil (brand name: Rogaine), is available without a prescription. It is applied to the scalp. Both men and women can use it. Another medicine, finasteride (brand name: Propecia) is available with a prescription. It comes in pills and is only for men. It may take up to 6 months before you can tell if one of these medicines is working.

If adequate treatment is not available for your type of hair loss, you may consider trying different hairstyles or wigs, hairpieces, hair weaves or artificial hair replacement.
Male pattern baldness (i.e. receding hairline and a bald patch developing), in men, is linked to me male hormones, androgens. In women, it is unclear whether hormones do play a part. It is often an inherited tendency, especially in women. The most practical solution to in male pattern hair loss is to take the oral contraceptive pill, Dianette, which blocks the male hormones (androgens) and so can help prevent further hair loss. If you cannot take the pill for some reason (e.g. because you have had a thrombosis) or you prefer not to, you could try minoxidil (Regaine) lotion, available over the counter. You have to keep using it or any hair regrowth tends to fall out again, which can prove very expensive. If you are approaching the menopause then you may want to consider HRT which may halt the process and restore some hair thickness. A blood test will not tell you much but can let you know whether you are approaching the menopause despite regular periods. If no particular cause is found, advice from a skilled hairdresser is best. There are many commercial sources of help with hair loss problems but you need to be a little sceptical and careful before spending lots of money on untested or unproven wonder cures.

If you are having a Hair Loss problem then the first thing that you need to do is to study Hair Loss Reviews of Products, treatments, and cures, before deciding on what to do.

There are lotions in the market that claim to magically re grow your hair. However if you read some Hair Loss Reviews of the product, regarding the effectiveness of these lotions, then you will know from the statistics that lotions and potions do not make your hair grow back. Minioxidil is one of the chemicals that are mostly used in many lotions available in the market, to stimulate hair growth. In fact it is one of the most advertised chemicals on the market that stimulates hair growth. However many recent studies have proved that the hair growth due to Minioxidil is insignificant and the chemical can be responsible for many other ailments of the body which include high blood pressure as well as Heart attack.

Another product that is advertised in many Hair Loss Reviews is the hair regrowth pill. These are supposed to be the most convenient solution to all hair loss problems. However, these are some of the biggest scam products in the market that should never be trusted. All these products take advantage of the human need for a bountiful head of hair and to stop hair loss. Therefore it is necessary to read about a product, cure, and treatment, before using it.

Even though laser hair therapy is common among people, success of Laser Hair Therapy differs from person to person, as does the patterns of Hair Loss. Each person will achieve his or her own results from voluminous to minimal. Laser Hair Therapy results will depend on how far advanced the occurrence of hair loss is but most studies show well over 90% regrow their hair. One thing for sure, those with thinning hair will minimally find that it halts, or prevents further hair loss. And there will be those who will find that it not only halts, but actually grows back most of the hair that has been lost.

It may seem strange to hear about a laser being used for Hair Regrowth, but this type of Hair Loss Treatment has been around for some time and was discovered accidentally by a scientist in Hungary in 1967. Forty years later and after hundreds of clinical trials Laser Hair Therapy Treatment has now been proven as an effective hair loss treatment by many scientific studies. In 1982 a report was published called "The Growth of Hair Under Laser Influence of the HE-NE Beam". In the study, patients with Alopecia Areata responded with positive results after only 6 to 8 twice-weekly treatments.

Top 4 Natural Ways to Stop Hair Loss

2009-06-01T00:19:00.002-07:00

Do you look in the mirror and frown at how much your hair has thinned out? Are you busy trying to hide your receding hair lines or bold spots? If you run your hand lightly through your hair, do you end up with 20-50 loose strands? If you said yes to any of these questions, you probably are wondering what you need to do to stop this hair loss.

Hair loss occurs in both men and women. It has a great impact on a person's confidence and self esteem. In recent years, more and more young people are suffering from premature hair loss. The culprit that contributes to this increasing trend is the modern lifestyle of stress, tension, poor diet, insufficient rest and use of harmful chemicals.

So, what are some natural remedies to reduce the hair fall? Here are some suggestions:

1. Vitamin B7 Biotin This type of B-complex vitamin does well to encourage hair growth, strengthen hair and prevent hair loss. You can get Biotin by eating foods such as yeast, kidney, eggs, liver, nuts and soy beans. However, getting Biotin from your diet is insufficient for your hair needs. You still need Biotin supplements. The recommended daily intake (RDI) is 30mcg. But you don't have to worry about over dosage as there are no side effects. Any excess will be excreted. There are plenty of testimonials vouching for the effectiveness of Biotin in reducing hair loss. Some saw results as fast as 1 week.

2. Egg treatment You may not like the idea of dumping egg on your head but the fact remains that it can remedy your hair loss. It's able to strengthen your hair. There are a few ways to apply it.

- Combine 1 egg with 2tbsp of olive oil. Whip it up and leave on hair for 1/2 hour before rinsing off with cold water. - Mix honey with egg yolk and massage into scalp and head. Leave for 1/2 hour then rinse off. - Whip 2 egg yolks with 1/2 cup of water. Massage into scalp and hair for 5 minutes. Wash off with water.

It's crucial that you remember not to use hot water when rinsing. You may end up with slightly cooked eggs on your head. Now some of you might be wondering "how do I get rid of the bad egg smell afterwards?" After washing off the egg treatment, follow-up with a rinse of vinegar mixed in water. The smell will be gone. Another tip is to wash the hair with some lemon juice.

3. Change your shampoo Take a look at your shampoo and see if it contains Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) or Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate (ALS)? These are corrosive ingredients and are used in household and commercial cleaners such as car wash soap, engine degreaser, and garage floor cleaners. It is said to attack your hair follicles and interfere with hair growth. Although studies are still on going, many already attribute premature hair loss to these ingredients. The danger of SLS is quite controversial. But why take the risk when you can be safe with organic shampoos that use natural ingredients. There are also countless testimonies of how changing to a non-SLS shampoo lead to a reduction in hair loss.

4. Aloe Vera Why not follow the footsteps of the Native Americans, Indians and Caribbeans in using Aloe Vera to keep skin, scalp and hair healthy. Not only does it prevent excessive hair loss but also encourages hair growth. It creates a balanced pH level, cleanses the pores and repairs damaged hair. If you have the plant, you can rub the natural gel onto your scalp. If not, you can opt for the over-the-counter Aloe Vera gel. Leave it on your head for an hour or more, then rinse off. There are also shampoos and conditioners with Aloe Vera as part of it's formula. If you don't mind the hassle, you can even make your own Aloe Vera shampoo by mixing it together with coconut milk and a little wheat germ oil.

Excessive hair loss is a great concern especially if you are as young as 18 years old. You may be eager to try the many hair loss treatments that you've read about. However, the first important step is to visit a dermatologist to rule out any underlying health problem. When you understand better what is causing your hair to fall, you will be more successful in finding a remedy.

Do You Understand the Cause of Hair Loss

2009-06-01T00:19:00.001-07:00

It is an unfortunate fact that many men, and a surprisingly high number of women, will suffer from some form of hair loss during their lives and often that hair loss will be permanent. Since hair has been falling out of heads, medical science has been attempting to find the true cause of hair loss.

To understand fully hair loss we need to look at how hair grows and what factors can interfere with this natural process.

Hair growth occurs in two distinct phases, the growth phase known as the Anagen phase and the resting phase known as the Telogen phase. The vast majority of hair on our head (as much as 90%) at any one time is in a 2-7 year growth phase. The remaining hairs are in a resting phase that can last anywhere between two to four months.

A normal rate of hair loss is between 50 to 150 hairs a day. Once a hair has been shed that particular follicle begins a growth phase, as the lost hair now needs to be replaced.

If everything goes according to plan this cycle of growth and rest continues through many cycles during our life.

Hair loss problems can result when this natural cycle is disrupted and the natural fallout rate exceeds that natural re-growth rate. Additionally, certain factors can lead to hair re-growth that is much weaker and thinner than the previous hair that is being replaced.

Here the problem can go unnoticed for many years. Since each hair is being replaced there does not appear to be a problem. However, over the years each re-growth of shed hair is getting progressively weaker and thinner. In this case baldness and hair loss can appear to be a very sudden onset, but it is something that has been active for several years.

Fortunately from the point of view of being able to treat and prevent the problem, science has found the true cause of hair loss.

It is now believed that the cause of hair loss is an increased level of testosterone (that begins in puberty) that eventually leads to an excessive imbalance in another hormone DHT (dihydrotestosterone).

If there are large amounts of DHT present, blood supply to the hair follicle is reduced and over time the actual blood vessels that feed each hair follicle begin to shrink, making blood flow to the hair follicles even more difficult.

A deficient blood supply leads to weak, thin hair re-growth, which gets progressively worse over time. The eventual outcome is a growth that is little more than wispy short hair that is barely visible.

At this stage the person is suffering from a condition known as androgenic allopecia, more commonly known as male pattern baldness.

Specifically why and how these levels of DHT get to the level where they create a problem with hair loss is not known. At this point in time the cause is largely attributed to genetic factors.

Apart from our understanding of the causes of hair loss that is more or less permanent, there are several factors affecting men and women that can cause temporary hair loss.

Some of the more common cause of temporary hair loss are; scalp infections; improper use of hair care products; side affects of some medications and medical procedures (surgery and chemotherapy for example) and inadequate nutrition for healthy hair growth.

Usually once the cause of hair loss is established and the appropriate treatment given, hair growth can return to normal.

The most important factor in successfully treating any kind of hair loss is to determine quickly the correct cause of the hair loss and then immediately begin with the appropriate treatment.

For someone experiencing hair loss now or someone who could reasonably expect hair loss in the future based on past family medical history, preventive measures should be taken sooner rather than later.

At the very least an appropriate hair care regime should be in place. As part of this regime adequate nutrition should be stressed, including nutrients that have a known hair growth function such as Biotin, Zinc and the herb Saw Pallmeto.

Today there are many hair loss treatment options available. There is a range of natural over the counter preparations that have undergone some clinical trials and have had some success in stopping hair loss and promoting re-growth of normal healthy hair.

And if the natural way does not deliver the desired results, there are always hair restoration techniques such as hair extensions, hair transplants and wigs that offer even more options to treat hair loss.

Thinning Hair Loss

2009-06-01T00:18:00.003-07:00

Thinning hair loss in men and women may be caused by many problems that will undoubtedly be different for each of the sexes. So, what works as a hair loss treatment product for bald and thinning hair loss in women will be different than the product that works for men. Makes sense doesn't it given that we "are definitely different"?

Thinning hair loss in Women is often discovered earlier because Women as a rule tend to be "more interested" in their appearance. Perhaps they also are less prone to denial.

If emerging male balding is treated when the hair thinning first begins, then thinning hair loss products can work faster and be more effective. More effective that is than in more advanced cases of baldness, where thinning hair was likely ignored until it is probably even "too late". Generally that means that the man is unable to solve the dilemma of thinning hair loss. If general thinning hair loss is mainly at the top of the head and the balding area has lots of tiny, fine hairs then you are still a pretty good chance at getting some success. It's quite amazing really but statistics indicate that thinning hair strikes as many as one in three males at some point in their lives.

It also wise to remember that thinning hair may be the often a precursor to male pattern baldness. This can develop into total hair loss in the scalp region. Typically it is much easier to identify, treat and cover Thinning hair in its earliest stages. These are generally before the hair loss becomes too noticeable, more advanced or just plain obvious.

The condition called Thinning hair loss is that may cause people high levels of emotional distress and discomfort which can actually further enhance the loss. a vicious circle really!The good news is that thinning hair loss products such as Provillus can work towards helping people even with advanced cases of baldness. You know the one's where thinning hair was ignored until it was too late.

Don’t become a "victim" of thinning hair loss!

What I mean by that is, deal with it immediately. That way pattern baldness may never catch up.

Hot oil treatment with a vigorous massage of scalp releases the sticky dirt and smoothens the hair strips. It opens sebaceous glands and keeps the excretion normal.

Chemotherapy Hair Loss Prevention - Battling Side Effects

2009-06-01T00:17:00.002-07:00

A cancer patient often finds that he has more than just cancer to worry over. When undergoing chemotherapy treatment, he has to worry about other side effects like hair loss. Chemotherapy is supposed to fight cancer. So why is it that hair loss occurs during treatment?

Chemotherapy attempts to kill cancer cells with radiation. The amount of radiation a patient is exposed to, depends on the seriousness of the condition. If cancer is already in late stages, chances are, an aggressive treatment plan may be necessary.

When chemotherapy is taking place, cancer cells are prevented from spreading. This is how the treatment discern cancer cells from normal healthy cells. Unfortunately, the discernment process is not a hundred percent accurate. So healthy cells get damaged as well. In addition, hair follicle cells tend to regenerate more quickly than normal cells. In this aspect, it is similar to cancer cells. That's why chemotherapy damage hair follicles as well, and hair loss starts to occur.

How serious will the hair loss condition be?

The answer is not a straightforward one. It all depends on the intensity of the treatment, and the duration. If large doses of medication are taken, accompanied with prolonged periods of chemotherapy, it is very likely that the patient may loss all his hair. However, for less serious cases, the hair may thin temporarily. In extremely mild cases, there may not be a noticeable effect at all.

Hair loss is just a side effect of chemotherapy treatment. Fortunately, it is something that the patient can take measures to cope with. Here are some suggestions on how to cope with hair loss.

Wearing a hair piece - This is by far, the most common approach. There are no additional medication that needs to be taken, and it takes care of the problem immediately. Hair pieces are rather fashionable these days, so can patients should not be afraid to try them on.

Wear a head gear - Now is the time to be a fashion freak. Try on some head gear like scarves, hats, etc. There are many options available, and you will have lots of fun shopping for the head gear.

Seeking hair loss treatment - For mild cancer cases, you may want to seek hair loss treatment. For example, you may be asked to take additional health supplements or apply hair lotion to help prevent hair loss from taking place to quickly. Your hair may still thin, but the rate is remarkably reduced. When the treatment is over, your hair will grow back naturally.

In addition, you can take other less drastic measures to help protect your help. Use a mild shampoo to prevent breakage. Do not try to adopt ambitious styles for your hair during chemotherapy. For instance, don't perm or dye your hair.

Women and Hair Loss Treatment: What Women Need to Know

2009-06-01T00:17:00.001-07:00

Baldness is a very common occurrence in men, but hair loss treatment for women? Not as common or so we'd like to think! In this day and age, women should be made aware that baldness can occur in women too. Knowing more about the types, causes and possible treatments for the condition would make it easier for women to handle such a situation if it happens to them in the future.

Different kinds of hair loss

Knowing the major hair loss types can aid in determining the possible causes and hair loss treatment to be applied. There are different types of hair loss but in women there are three major hair loss types. These are alopecia areata or temporary loss of hair which sometimes appears as a coin shape patch of baldness; telogen effluvia which is usually due to stressors in the system and the androgenetic alopecia or the female pattern baldness. The last type of hair loss can generally happen when a woman turns 30 but start as early as 20's or late in the 40's.

Causes of Hair Loss in Women

While baldness it very common in men, various factors affect hair loss in women. It could be due to heredity, pregnancy, medications, hormonal imbalance, aging, stress and diets. System stressors such as illness, drug use, depression or high fever can also be blamed for hair loss.

Some people also wonder if shampoo and other hair products can cause hair loss. It would be different for different people but there are rare cases that hair dyes, chemicals and others can cause allergic reaction and lead to the inflammation of the scalp and hair loss. So it is advised to use only high quality hair products to prevent hair loss due to this.

In some women, hair equipment such as blow dryers and hair irons can also contribute to hair loss. It is best to stay off generic hair equipments and opt for high quality ones to avoid damage to your hair.

Hair Loss Treatment

Hair loss treatment generally takes about 3 to 4 months but depending on the severity and the body chemistry, it can go longer than that. For women, some hardy notice the improvement until after a year had passed.

While working on treating hair loss, there are some styling tips than can help alleviate the current thin hair condition. Natural or not, use only products that are recommended for fine or thin hair. Conventional products for thin hair types are mild enough prevent further hair damage and hair loss. Use good quality hair care products all the time, because in many of the highly discounted brands of hair care products, the ingredients have more potential to be sub-standard or to have exceeded recommended shelf life.

Style hair and opt for haircuts that can give the illusion of thick and rich hair. Apply hair volumizing products to thicken strands and avoid rubbing hair vigorously to avoid hair breakage and further thinning.

Also during the period of hair loss treatment, avoid using heat generating appliance such as hair blowers and styling irons. Subjecting hair to extreme heat will only cause more damage, hair breakage and hair loss. Hair loss can be frustrating and depressing, but there is different treatment for different people. For women, find the patience to religiously treat and style hair in a way that it would appear thicker and work at the physical ways to prevent it from happening.

Discover the Truth Behind Hair Loss in Women.

2009-06-01T00:16:00.002-07:00

There are currently more than 25 million women in the United States, who suffer from premature thinning of the hair. In some cases the effect of losing one's hair can trigger severe depression. The most common causes of hair loss in women are related to pregnancy, ,poor nutrition, major surgery, severe stress, thyroid disease, chemotherapy, high fever and other infections. These conditions, however, tend to be temporary and resolve once the root cause is addressed.

Unlike men who become totally bald as they age, many women experience significant hair thinning, especially around the forehead and the crown of the scalp. This usually begins at the beginning of menopause. As women age, their skin also ages due to a reduction in estrogen levels, which also causes thinning of the hair. At the onset of menopause, a women's estrogen levels decline and more testosterone becomes available resulting in a shorter hair growth cycle and finer hair strands. Eventually thinning of hair occurs. At the age of 80 to 90, the women's hair follicles have shrink so much that hair growth completely stops.

Experts say that the typical growth pattern of hair is at the rate of about Â½ inch each month with each hair having a growth phase of 2 to 6 years. The hair then "rest" for some time and begins to fall out. This cycle goes on until maturity. However, a group of hormones called androgens alter this natural process of hair growth. According to dermatologists, androgen may include DHT or dihydrotestosterone. When testosterone comes in contact with the enzymes in the hair cell, it is transformed into the more potent DHT and this binds with receptors inside the follicles. Build up of DHT causes the follicles to shrink. Some follicles die resulting in significant hair loss.

Whatever the cause of hair loss in women, it is simply hard to accept. After all, many people feel that hair makes a woman's face prettier. Absence of hair alter the look of even the most beautiful face. If hair loss cannot be prevented, it is best to initiate treatment to slow down the hair loss. There are many treatments available. Some treatments are over the counter while others are more drastic and would need the supervision of a medical practitioner like doctors and dermatologists. Two of the FDA approved and most popular drug-based cures for hair loss is minoxidil and finasteride, also called the wonder drug Propecia. Only these two drugs are approved by the Food and Drug Administration to cure hair loss in the U.S. The methods that would require the doctor's help are surgery, hair implants, low-level laser therapy, hair multiplication and the like. Concealment of hair loss may also be an alternative. There are also many ways to do it like wearing a wig or toupee and through various ways of combing the hair.

As you can see there are many things that can cause hair loss in women. Fortunately, there are proven therapies and resources available. For more information on how to stop hair loss, you can read the following article.

Hair Loss of Women Top Myths

2009-06-01T00:16:00.001-07:00

It cannot be denied that the hair loss of women is receiving a lot of attention. Along with genuine expert resources out there is a host of information that may or may not be accurate. If you are a woman suffering from thinning hair, looking for reliable information may become frustrating. Here are some top hair loss myths to consider to help you separate good from bad information.

#1- It can be pinned down to one causal factor.

Most men who go bald are affected by both genes and hormones. For a time, it was thought that women too are influenced by the same causal factors. It has since been discovered though that hair problems in women are far more complicated. Women may indeed lose hair because of drops in estrogen levels but they may also lose hair because of illness and stress.

#2- Only old women lose hair.

Females usually suffer from widespread hair thinning instead of sectional baldness. This is most likely the reason why you might notice that older females in your family have less thick locks. It is incorrect to believe though that only old women have this condition. Young women may fall severely ill or they may go through periods of hormonal fluctuations that can make hair loss possible. Women who go through childbirth for example may experience excessive hair fall a few months after giving birth because of a drop in their estrogen levels.

#3- Parlor treatments can cause hair loss in women.

Excessive parlor treatments can damage hair quality and strength. They are not however a known cause of female balding. Do take note though that having your hair tied or styled in tight arrangements may cause traction alopecia. Hair can get literally pulled off from the roots.

#4- There is a cure for female hair fall.

Female hair thinning cannot be totally stopped or cured. That is unless the cause is an underlying illness in which case all that needs to be done is to treat the primary illness first. If a sustained drop in female hormones is to be expected though, then there may be little else that can be done about hair fall. Even minoxidil which is FDA approved for hair loss can only provide minimal to moderate results which will disappear if intake of the medicine is discontinued.

The hair loss of women is definitely a hot topic. You should be careful about the kind of information that you read though. You would want to get only the right facts.

Best Hair Loss Treatment for Women- Is There One?

2009-06-01T00:15:00.001-07:00

A woman losing lots of hair would definitely want the best hair loss treatment in town. The problem is that the jury is still out on whether there truly is a best solution for females. This may seem unfair since men seem to have better options especially when it comes to medication. For women, only minoxidil is approved by the FDA.

Before you start lamenting the female hair’s fate however, it is worth noting that female hair loss is not the same as the male version. Unless the loss of hair is due to a severe medical condition, women rarely ever go bald. That is, hair fall is only characterized by diffuse thinning. This in itself should make you think twice about looking for a hair or scalp solution. Do you really look so horrible that you need to find a treatment?

The reason why experts just can’t recommend every treatment option to women is that some typical male treatments may be harmful for women. Certain ingredients or solution concentrations may wreak havoc in a woman’s system and may affect such aspects as hormonal levels. If you try to use inappropriate products for female hair loss, you could end up with bigger problems.

There is also a chance that hair shedding in some women may not be permanent. Some may lose great amounts of hair due to stress, severe illness or periods of hormonal dips such as after giving birth. In these cases, looking for a hair loss treatment may be premature. The condition will naturally go away after the major, underlying condition is treated. All you need would be a little patience and proper consultation with your doctor.

In the end, there is nothing inherently wrong with trying out a possible best hair loss treatment. Just remember that they are not all effective or safe for female consumption. If you do not take proper precautions, you could end up with a bad product that can, at the very least, harm you emotionally because of false advertising. Before trying any remedy, take a look at yourself in the mirror first. You may be able to live with the fact that thinning hair is a part of the changes you’d have to cope with in life. Accepting your condition may mean you don’t have a problem that needs solving.

Hair loss in children

2009-05-29T20:30:00.002-07:00

Hair loss treatment and hair transplants are normally associated with those of us that are more advanced in years. As we grow older, we keep an eye out for overt shedding and uneven hairlines in the same way we inspect ourselves for suspicious moles or stubborn wrinkles. When it comes to our children, however, we are often too preoccupied with scraped knees, lost teeth and fevers to notice if their locks are looking less than lush.

If you do notice that your child is experiencing a degree of hair loss there is no need to panic. Reasons for hair loss range from dietary deficiencies to radiation exposure and once you’ve found the cause it can easily be remedied. Here are some of the more serious causes of hair loss in children:

1. Tinea capitis: Commonly known as ‘ringworm’, this fungal infection is caused by fungi called dermatophytes. It commonly affects children and results in an itchy scalp and hair breakage. Tinea infections are highly contagious and children can catch it by coming in contact with an infected individual or by exchanging contaminated items such as brushes, caps or clothing. Take your child to your physician as soon as you notice the symptoms. Your doctor will perform a skin lesion biopsy to determine the nature of the fungal infection and prescribe anti-fungal medication to be taken orally. This treatment, if used in conjunction with a medicated shampoo should quickly sort out the hair loss problem.

2. Trichotillomania: Trichotillomania is an anxiety disorder that characterized by the persistent and excessive pulling of one's own hair, resulting in noticeable hair loss. This includes the pulling of eyelashes, eyebrows and pubic hair, but is generally confined to scalp hair. In children the condition is normally described as an impulse-control disorder (as opposed to an obsessive compulsive disorder) and can be treated by non-medical means such as diet and hypnotherapy. Cognitive behaviour therapy can also be helpful if it is found that the pulling is the result of stress.

3. Traction alopecia: Also known as ‘ballerina baldness’, Traction alopecia is localised hair loss caused by damage to the hairs' roots from constantly pulling hair too tight in the same direction. First noticed in the early 1900’s among women and girls in Greenland, the condition has also been noted among men of the Sikh clan who wear their hair in tight knots and African American individuals who wear their hair in tight braids called ‘cornrows’. If detected early enough, a simple change of hairstyle and shampoo should do the trick to stop the impending hair loss.

Other causes of hair loss in children include Telogen effluvium, congenital alopecia and scarring alopecia. If you should notice significant shedding or baldness in your child it would be wise to consult a physician before attempting any home remedies. Many of the conditions listed here can be treated easily if spotted early enough, without having to resort to expensive hair loss treatments or, eventually, hair transplants.

Following Step By Step Procedures Male Hair Loss Can Be Prevented

2009-05-29T19:49:00.001-07:00

Are you seeing a sudden influx of hair in the sink each morning after you combed your hair? Found hair strewn everywhere on the floor and furniture, and it’s not even your pet’s? If so, you might be facing a grave situation – you may be afflicted with male hair loss.

Most male hair loss stems from hereditary reasons which mean that you may have inherited this hair defect from either one of your parents. However, male hair loss can also be attributed to the fact that you are experiencing high levels of stress due to a serious sickness, major surgery or work related pressure. Changes in your hormone levels will also cause your hair to shed excessively. And sometimes, a portion of medicines ingested will result in hair thinning. Medicines such as anticoagulants, medical substances used in chemotherapy sessions as well as excessive Vitamin A can cause male hair loss if you are not careful. If you spot fungal infections upon your scalp, don’t take it too lightly and try to remedy the situation soon as you can to prevent early male hair loss.

There are certain ways to counter male hair loss and these steps are very easy to follow with a small amount of discipline. For instance, if you are blessed with a head full of thick lush hair, don’t be too harsh on it. Comb your hair and avoid brushing it especially if you’ve just come out of the shower as wet hair is more susceptible to breaking. Ensure your daily meals contain plenty of protein. This can be found in most dairy products like milk, cheese and eggs. Otherwise, if all else fails do seek alternatives in the form of hair replacement therapies and custom hair wigs.

The Internet is rife with several hair loss myths that need to be debunk so that male hair loss sufferers will not be compelled to trust these mistruths. For example, if you find yourself being afflicted with male hair loss, no amount of cutting or shaving your hair can make it grow back speedily. Hair that sits above your epidermis upon your head are dead by nature and will not be affected at all should you cut it. And the next time someone claims that the reason behind your male hair loss is due to reduced blood flow on your scalp, don’t be too trusting and buy the hair replacement products that he or she is bugging you to purchase.

Ways to Hide Hair Loss After Pregnancy

2009-05-29T19:48:00.002-07:00

Most women suffer from unexpected or gradual balding after pregnancy and also during pregnancy, due to a sudden increase in hormones.

Hair-loss after pregnancy can be spotted at different times - after parturition or after nursing has stopped. The majority of ladies start to panic after seeing clumps of hair coming out whilst showering or during a routine brushing of hair. It is widely known that almost all women experience hair loss after pregnancy, particularly around six months after bearing a child.

Hair loss or balding after pregnancy is also due to the fact that a women's body is providing nutrients to the new born instead of feeding the hair of the said lady, as the child and the mother are the crucial people and not the lady's hair.

There are more reasons for balding after giving birth. The hormones, which are causing ordinary hair loss, are totally lost during pregnancy. Hence the standard losing of hair is not spotted whilst a lady is pregnant.

Once the baby comes out of the womb, the woman's body returns to its usual health and the hair, which has not fallen during pregnancy, begins to shed in conspicuous bundles. The balding after pregnancy is generally spotted in the areas round the ears, near to the hairline, and close to the temples.

There are so many hair styles available from different hairstylists for the lactating mums. One of the excellent options for coiffing hair to perfection without reference to current hair situation is using super volumizing tonic to correct hair falling. This hair expansion product is free from alcohol, and is also natural and is widely available at drugstores.

Another way of fixing hair loss after pregnancy is to go for a better cut or a new hair style. The majority of new moms do not have sufficient time to go for different hair care designs to cover the hair-loss after pregnancy. So ask your husband to baby-sit whilst the new mom could find a little time for herself, and to look after her hair, so as to camouflage the hair-lessened areas.

If you find sufficient time to look after your hair regardless of your new baby, the hair loss after pregnancy can be taken care by having woven lowlights around your face to boost your skin and face by masking the loss of hair.

Eventually, you might choose to select hair accessories like ponytails with hanging pearls. These hair accessories may be used as helpful hair-helpers to mask hair loss. Even headbands are the ideal fit in areas of baldness particularly close to the temple or over the ears and round the hairline. A gorgeous twist or bun can be easily made in seconds using a claw or condor clip by the busy new moms.

By adopting these tactics, the non permanent hair loss after pregnancy can easily be handled for attending any evening event with their new born. New mums will not have to fear hair loss anymore!

A Natural Hair Loss Remedy

2009-05-29T19:48:00.001-07:00

A natural hair loss remedy has now been developed from the true cause of androgenetic alopecia - Skull Expansion. This article explains how Skull Expansion was discovered and how simple self-help techniques completely reversed my own hair loss.

Some simply accept their fate. But, for many others, androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness or MPB) is an embarrassing and alarming condition. I know all this because, back in 1989, I was one such person!

When I first noticed hair loss, it frustrated and annoyed me. But, before long, I had become obsessed and depressed by it. The prospect of becoming totally bald at the age of 23 was something I quite simply refused to accept (vanity in your twenties can do things like that!) There had to be a hair loss remedy, and I had to find it!

Obviously my first approach was to ask the experts. But, being very technically minded, my questions were, perhaps, somewhat different from those they usually faced.

I wanted to know why the rate and region of hair loss can vary. For example, some people lose hair at the front (receding temples), others develop a bald patch at the back, and some suffer hair loss throughout the MPB region of the scalp. I also knew that androgenetic alopecia can start at any age from puberty onwards, and that this process may be extremely rapid or much more gradual. I asked what caused all these variations.

I had also noticed that, in some cases, hair continues to grow thick and strong despite baldness all around it. I wanted this observation explained to me.

Finally, I asked how could it be that DHT (dihydrotestosterone) has been linked to both hair loss and hair growth. (DHT causes facial hair, body hair, etc to grow at puberty).

I considered these questions extremely relevant to the hair loss process and, as such, quite straightforward for a hair specialist to answer. But, every trichologist or dermatologist I asked simply brushed these questions aside saying that it doesn't really matter where or when male pattern baldness starts, the most important thing is how to treat it.

Whilst this sounded fair enough at first, those questions kept haunting me. They were important, and so should have been answered. I also found it very surprising and disappointing that they weren’t answered because it gave the impression that these people didn’t fully understand the hair loss mechanism.

And, if they didn’t know, how could I ever rid myself of this problem?

I've never approved of drugs, lotions or transplants, so conventional treatment was out of the question. (The way I see it, a natural problem should have a natural solution). I had to find a different hair loss remedy -- even if that meant doing it on my own!

So I then focused on finding the answers to my questions (believing that they would reveal the true mechanism behind androgenetic alopecia). I started what was to become seven years of research, reasoning and testing. This was extremely painstaking work, but eventually I began to understand where all those hair loss professionals and standard theories for androgenetic alopecia were going wrong.

These standard theories include the following:

1. DHT receptor sites
2. Sebum overproduction and inadequate hygiene
3. Poor nutrition
4. Stress

However, none of these theories can answer all of those previous questions. As such, they should be now be considered as factors affecting the hair loss process, and not the underlying cause.

The true cause of androgenetic alopecia is Skull Expansion.

As soon as you understand a problem, you can then start work on a solution. So, from the theory behind Skull Expansion, I began developing simple techniques and regimes that could be used to counteract this process. I had to experiment of course, and ended up trying several ideas. But, eventually, I found success -- a method that really worked. It was amazing! I had finally found the hair loss remedy I had spent seven years looking for.

Within about three months of use I had begun growing thick, strong, healthy hair on my scalp (i.e., not simply vellus hair).

And today, over a decade later, I still enjoy a full head of hair.

Most people believe that hair loss is such a daunting obstacle to overcome, that no natural method can ever deny this process and restore permanent scalp hair. But, having now completely reversed this condition for myself, it seems that a natural problem like male pattern baldness can have a natural solution after all!

Combat hair loss easily!

2009-05-29T19:47:00.001-07:00

Hair loss is a very common problem in men. There are multiple causes of hair loss. Just like some diseases, hair loss also does not have any permanent cure. There are millions of people trying to find treatment for hair loss. Hair loss is also called alopecia. Hair loss is something that affects most men at some point of point of life.

Excessive use of shampoo, gel and roller can cause hair loss. For some hair loss may be due to hormonal imbalance, heredity, disease, stress, childbirth, poor diet or due to some medications. Each person has about 100000 hair on head, 50 to 100 lose of hair daily is normal and there is nothing to worry about it as such. Lossing 50 to 100 hair daily is a normal process and they get replaced by new hair. If lost hair is not replaced by new hair, baldness or semi baldness occurs. Male pattern baldness is nost common type of hair loss in men. It accounts for 95% of hair loss. Male pattern baldness is caused due to increase in number od dihydrotestosterone in body. The type II alpha reductase converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT damages the hair follicles.

Treatment

Treating hair loss with prescriptoin drug is most effective treatment. There are number of hair loss drugs available in market promising to treat hair loss. Most of them work by trying to stop hair loss from getting worse. Propecia and Rogaine are the only two FDA approved hair loss treatments. Propecia is for men only, while rogaine is for both men and women.

Review of natural hair loss treatment products for hair regrowth

Stress reduction can be helpful in slowing hair loss. Some drugs can cause hair loss on the scalp and other places on the body. Is it common to be upset about hair loss. But some people experience excessive hair loss due to many reasons. In case of hair loss due to a certain medication, consult your doctor and ask him to suggest an alternative. These ways can work for you, but in recent medical studies the main cause of hair loss, at least 95% of the time, is either genetic and or hormonal. Usually, the earlier it begins, the more severe the hair loss will be. The most common type of hair loss seen in women is androgenetic alopecia, also known as female pattern alopecia or baldness.

People often have the mistaken notion that only males can lose hair and that alopecia is a physiological defect the gentle sex is exempt from. As a matter of fact, almost 20% of females in the world are in dire need of protection from the frightful menace of losing their beautiful hair. Most of them have never imagined that there is such a possibility in a woman's life. First of all, there is the female pattern alopecia, which is somewhat similar to the male pattern baldness, though much less severe. Women seem now to be increasingly threatened by what is called diffuse idiopathic alopecia, the cause of which has not yet been definitely ascertained. It is an insidious disease which may not be apparent until about 80% of the hair is lost, and is then manifest as a diffuse thinning of the hair over the entire scalp.

Testosterone excretion has been shown to be elevated, and some theories have been put forward on this basis to explain this type of female alopecia. It is said that this type of alopecia is associated with seborrhea. Anyhow seborrhea should be controlled, no matter whether or not it is really the cause of the hair fall. It has also been suggested that estrogens should be taken internally. How effective this therapy is has not yet been determined. Another suggested treatment is low dose interrupted courses of corticosteroids. It's now not so wonderful as it once seemed to be. The Female use hair regenerator we are introducing to patients here is based on the remarkable efficacy of traditional Chinese medicinal herbs in tackling hair loss problems. External application is combined with oral administration, if necessary. And the afflicted girl or woman must be persuaded not to develop any strong neurotic reaction to the hair loss. This is the way traditional Chinese medical practitioners do their work.

In ancient China silk of the light blue color was very precious. It was used only for making rich garments. A beautiful woman's hair was compared to light-blue silk. The famous poet of the Tang Dynasty Bai Juyi noticed the pitiful fact that women also lost hair and described it in the following line:Fell the silk of light blue and sparse grew the temples.

The situation deplored by the renowned Tang Dynasty poet has become more serious in the contemporary world. But there is no need for female to get into a panic if she finds a few hairs on her pillow in the morning. It is normal for a person, whether male or female, to lose 50-100 pieces of hair during the 24 hours of a day, because he or she is supposed to have one hundred thousand pieces of hair on his or her scalp. If the person washes his or her head and finds a lot of hair in the water, then the situation is more serious. It is highly probable that he or she is losing hair. It is certain that a woman will feel greatly alarmed or even become ashamed of herself if she should discover that her scalp is barely covered by a thin layer of hair. This is a natural reaction, because her beauty is impaired. Now, what are the causes of hair loss in the case of females? An obvious cause is some chronic skin disease. It must not be overlooked that ringworm may bring about alopecia with scaling and pustulation. This is far more serious than alopecia which is due to other diseases, such as anemia, so far as the possibility of regrowth of hair is concerned.

Thinning Hair Solutions

2009-05-27T22:51:00.003-07:00

Before one can realistically evaluate thinning hair solutions they must first have a general idea of the dynamic of head hair.

The hair strand springs forth from a small pouch like sac called a follicle which resides under the surface of the skin. Encased in the follicle is the root and hair bulb. The hair follicle itself is made of a protein called keratin which is found in the skin, hair, and nails. The root is nourished by the blood stream to produce new hair. The bulb supplies keratin to the hair shaft which in due time pushes through the scalp.

Realistically head hair growth and regrowth is based in no small part on good circulation, proper scalp conditions and a normal hair replacement cycle. Both self inflicted and natural conditions that can produce thinning hair are genetics, hormones, stress, hair abuse, crash diets, disease, circulatory problems, pregnancy, child birth, menopause and certain autoimmune conditions. There are many others but you get the picture.

When speaking specifically to finding thinning hair solutions you are dealing with a combination of general health solutions combined with stopping harmful progressive hormonal issues. The second part of this equation is the most problematic. While many of the above causes of thinning hair will reverse themselves once the hair loss culprit has been identified and eliminated progressive hormonal issues may not. The most likely cause of the march of thinning hair to the land of permanent follicle impairment is a condition known as androgenic alopecia.

Androgenic alopecia is responsible for the vast majority of all hair loss cases. Without getting into too much detail it is a condition where too much of the hair loss hormone dihydrotestosterone is produced. When this situation occurs your head hair becomes finer and shorter. This destructive hormone also interferes with the natural growth cycle. If in fact androgenic alopecia is the cause, or a contributing factor in your thinning hair dilemma, your thinning hair solutions are limited. Realistically your only solution is to find a way to slow or block the production of DHT. Once this is done you may be able to stimulate hair regrowth with a topical solution such as nut oil, pumpkin oil, or FDA approved minoxidil.

In summary, there are no easy answers for thinning hair caused by androgenic alopecia. What we do know is that the sooner the problem is recognized and treated the better your chances are for both keeping your remaining hair and possibly re-growing new hair. If you have not already researched a thinning hair solution there is no better time to get started than right now!

Grow More Hair Without The Latest Hair Loss Treatments

2009-05-27T22:51:00.001-07:00

If I could go back into time, I would've never laid a single hand on any of the hair loss treatments I spent money on.

I was desperate and like many others I was willing to do whatever was possible in order to stop my hair loss. A few years later and I finally became a success with my hair back in place.

Simply because your blood is the only way your follicles will be able to receive the nutrients they need in order to grow. Picture your blood as being a Red Cross truck ready to deliver food and water to those in need after a natural disaster.

Products to Treat Male Pattern Hair Loss and Hair Breakage

2009-05-27T22:50:00.003-07:00

The first step that should be taken before purchasing a product for hair loss is to take the time to do some research. Many individuals do not realize that some of the products out in the market can actually cause more harm than good.

Various products like dye, bleach and a perm can damage your tresses leading to hair loss. What is even more alarming is the fact that some shampoos and even blow dryers can cause harm to your hair. However, the damage from products is usually not the same as hair loss that is caused by genetic or medical problems.

Because of this, it is difficult to link hair loss with the use of various products. The use of various products actually causes breakage, which is different than hair loss that happens at the level of hair follicle.

If you have been worrying about the effects that some of these products have caused to your hair, you can take a breath of relief knowing that you may be able to regain your hair back if you stop using the products causing the breakage. Treatment of hair loss can come in a number of forms. Eating healthy is never a bad idea. Soy protein, fish oil, b vitamins, and biotin are some of the foods and supplements that can contribute to having healthy hair.

On the other hand, if your hair loss is due to male pattern baldness which is the main reason most men lose their hair, eating healthy foods and supplements will only result beneficial for the hair if you reduce dihydrotestosterone levels on the scalp. Dihydrotestosterone is an androgen produced by the body that attaches to the hair follicles in men who have male pattern baldness.

The binding of this androgen to the hair follicles does not permit blood to flow freely to the scalp and provide the necessary nutrients for healthy hair growth. The result is finer hair which later falls out.

One of the most effective treatments for reducing dihydrotestosterone levels is a prescription drug called Propecia. Some men are able to slow down or halt their hair loss with this medication. The down side is that it can cause serious side effects.

Some of the side effects experienced by some men taking Propecia are loss of libido, breast tenderness or breast enlargement, and erectile dysfunction. Many individuals like the idea of using Propecia to treat their hair loss due to the fact that it is a simple pill that is instructed to be taken once a day.

Another medication for the treatment of male pattern hair loss is a drug called minoxidil which is available in pharmacies without a prescription. Minoxidil is applied directly to your head two times a day and it is suppose to work for the vertex area of the scalp, though many have also received good results applying it on the front part of the scalp.

It is common to experience hair shedding in the first couple of weeks and months of taking minoxidil or Propecia. This is considered a positive sign and it usually means that the hair follicles that were at a dormant phase are now making room for new thicker hair by pushing out and replacing the hair that was thin.

The Most Effective Treatments For Hair Loss

2009-05-27T22:48:00.003-07:00

Hair loss does not require treatment. It is not an illness and does not cause any physical harm. Although it does bring with it emotional baggage that can be a source of lowered self-esteem and affect a person's quality of life. Finding the most effective treatments for you can help reduce the severity of the emotional repercussions by preventing further shedding and helping to re-grow what's already been lost.

Everyone's condition is different. Whether you're a man or woman, pubescent or retired, hair loss can strike for a variety of reasons and impart varying degrees of damage. Sometimes the condition requires treatment, other times the most effective action is doing nothing. Depending on the type and cause of the condition, it may reverse and correct itself in time, or it may get progressively worse if nothing is done to address the root cause.

Conditions in men and women are fundamentally different in their nature and cause. Male pattern baldness generally leaves most men with only a ring of hair around the back and sides of the head whereas women's hair loss is mostly limited to overall diffuse thinning. And while the cause in men is largely attributed to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), women's conditions are much more subjective to other contributing factors such as physical and emotional stress. The most effective treatment for an individual is determined based on the nature of the condition as well as its contributing factors.

To discern which treatment is most appropriate for you, it's advisable to get a diagnosis by a specialist. A number of medical reasons could explain your situation, or the hair loss itself could be the physical side effect of an otherwise silent condition. Your family and medical history, lifestyle and dietary habits are all taken into account by specialists to formulate an individualized program for you that incorporate the most effective hair loss treatments.

Hair loss may not be an illness but neither is acne. Just as you would consult a dermatologist for expert advice on acne, you should look to a specialist for advice if you want the most effective treatment for hair loss that will not only be safe for someone in your particular circumstance, but also give you the best possible results.

Automate Hair Growth - Needed Steps For More Hair Naturally

2009-05-27T22:48:00.001-07:00

What if you could do just a few simple things that would allow you to automate hair growth without using any of those expensive hair loss treatments?

Sounds good right? Well it's possible but you have to know the specific routine for doing so. You won't find out how to do it from any of those hair loss manufacturing companies. Their goal is to get richer and richer while you endlessly purchase their goods in an effort to restore your hair.

So first you need to know what exactly is causing your hair to fall out. Assuming that it's genetics right off hand is a very bad decision. I once thought that I was losing my hair because of heredity. I looked at my father and saw that he lost hair just like me, but really there were "hidden factors" behind my thinning hair.

You can do the same thing. Some hidden factors behind hair loss are a lack of nutrients, low blood circulation, prescription medications, over or underactive thyroid condition, or just simply a build up of sebum on the scalp that clogs the follicles.

There are other aspects that can affect whether you're able to regrow hair or not, but these are some of your main causes. Heredity very little affects baldness the way you think it does.

So what you want to do first is target blood circulation. There is no way of being able to tell if you lack circulation in the scalp until you strive to increase it. The best way to go about doing this is to grab yourself some essential oils and start massaging them into the scalp daily.

Using jojoba, henna, rosemary, and even lavender oils will certain increase blood flow and send all the needed nutrients from your blood to your follicles. Just takes 15 minutes a day and soon you'll start seeing newer hairs budding.

How to Keep the Appearance of Your Hair Thick and Healthy If Your Hair is Thinning

2009-05-27T22:46:00.000-07:00

Believe it or not, I often find that people are more concerned with the appearance of their thinning hair than they are with why their hair is thinning in the first place and what they can do to fix this. Improving the appearance of thinning hair and making it look thicker, healthier, less flyaway, and filled with more volume is among the most common concerns that I'm asked to address. I'll go over some tips for accomplishing these things in the following article.

Don't Over Condition But Wash Enough: If your hair is fine or thin, it's likely that it's easily weighed down which can cause it to look sparse or stringy. To avoid this, you must make sure that there are no excess oils, sebum or products weighing it down too much. Often people with hair loss are tempted to wash their hair less because each time they shampoo they see more hair in the drain. It's important to realize though that avoiding this will likely only lead to more androgens on the scalp, possibly clogged follicles, or inflammation. Simply put, you need the healthiest scalp that you can manage so you can't neglect it.

However, although you should be generous with gentle and appropriate shampoo, you shouldn't over condition. Fine or thin hair will look greasy and weighed down as the result. I know that some people will skip conditioner, but doing so will rob you of volume. The best case scenario is to either find a very light weight conditioner made for fine hair or to condition first and then shampoo second. What I mean by this is to wet your hair gently work the conditioner or creme rinse through and then rinse it out and then shampoo as the last step. This will remove any build up and will give you more volume.

Get A Good Hair Cut: A good hair cut can camouflage a lot of flaws in your hair. Adding color or curl can do the same. Some people assume that a short hair cut will look thicker. This is sometimes true. But occasionally, a short cut will only make the scalp show through more. Most women do well with a full bob that tapers forward. Adding body or curl can work wonders too. You don't want your hair to be long enough where you can actually see through the sides. Cut to where this begins to happen.

Many people swear by volumizers but I would say to be careful to only use light weight options that wash out easily without build up or irritation. You don't want your hair to look teased or overdone. This only draws more attention to what you're trying to cover up.

Lift At The Roots: There's an old trick for curly hair that works well for thin hair too. People with curls have a tendency for their hair to fall like dead weight on the side of their head. To counter this, they're often advised to place clips to lift the root while the hair is drying. This helps the hair lift away from your head and to look fuller. You can get the same effect by allowing your hair to dry in a towel that you applied by bending forward so that all of your strands are drying lifted away from your head.

Figure Out Why You Are Thinning And Address It: Camouflage will only get you so far. To really grow healthy hair again, you'll need to figure out why this cycle is happening and you'll need to fix it. Something is compromising your ability to maintain and regrowth normal hair. The best styling techniques in the world can't band aid the problem forever. Sure these things can help your appearance and will buy you time, but you'll need to address why this is happening to truly over come it.

Coping With Hair Loss

2009-05-23T21:30:00.003-07:00

Hair loss is a problem that affects a large number of males and also a number of females. It can be a devastating problem to cope with which can have some very negiative effects on your self esteem. With that in mind, we'll discuss some hair loss solutions in this article to help you with your problem.

One of the most commonly employed methods of keeping hair loss to a minimum is the use of prescription drugs. Two of the most commonly prescribed drugs, and consequently, the only two that have been approved by the FDA to deal with hair loss are Rogaine and Propecia. Rogaine is a topical treatment that you apply to the scalp, aiding the growth of hair and helping to slow hair loss. Propecia is a pill that is designed to help keep your hair count high as well; often, doctors recommend that both products be employed for the most efficient hair loss prevention solution.

Another option for coping with hair loss is hair restoration surgery. In this practice, surgeons remove strips of hair from the back and the sides of the head and place them on the top of the head, allowing for permanent growing hair in your affected area. Surgery can be quite expensive but the results are long-lasting and very natural looking. It's your own hair - it grows just as it would if it was still on the back of your head. For those who don't have the finances to get hair replacement surgery, nonsurgical replacement options are often considered. There are many types of wigs and toupees available which can accent your natural look for a short-term solution to hiding your hair loss problem.

It's important to note that one shouldn't get overly optimistic about any types of hair loss cures advertised on the internet or elsewhere; only two solutions, Rogaine and Propecia, have ever been approved by the FDA. If some wonder-cure for hair loss were to come out, it would definitely make the front page of the newspapers. Unregulated websites may offer quick solutions, but as unfortunate as it may be, they are likely pulling a con.

Going Natural With Hair Loss Remedies

2009-05-23T21:30:00.001-07:00

Since the introduction of Rogaine in the early 1980's, androgenic mediated hair loss, or 'male pattern baldness' has been considered a treatable condition through the use of pharmaceutical preparations. The perception that over-the-counter and prescription drugs are the only means to successfully treat this type of hair loss is perpetuated by the lack of well-funded and publicized studies on the efficacy of natural treatments. However, as the understanding of the biological mechanism of male pattern baldness has become clear through a great body of research, the reality of an effective natural treatment regimen is at hand. After a review of the available natural products, some suggestions will be made for creating your own regimen for treating hair loss naturally.

The overall cause of male pattern baldness is now well-known: this type of hair loss seen in about a third of the male population is mediated by the androgenic metabolite of testosterone known as dihydrotestosterone or DHT. The production of this now-infamous hormone increases later in life for many men, along with changes with the receptors for this hormone at the hair follicles.

In general, the pertinent hair follicles shrink with continued exposure to the androgenic hormone, some forming only small, villus hairs, while others eventually die completely. Some sources claim these follicles are still getting an adequate blood supply, while others note a waxy buildup or scar-like tissue surrounding the follicles, preventing adequate nutrient delivery. Thus, the localized cause of hair loss, at the follicle level, is still being researched. This does not mean there has been success in discovery of natural hair loss remedies!

Whether using a pharmaceutical, natural, or combination regimen to re-grow hair, genetically-related hair loss should be addressed on two fronts: reducing the production and effects of DHT, and stimulating the hair follicles themselves back into action.

Prescription drugs such as Finasteride and Dutasteride are available which lower blood levels of DHT, and have been used to improve hair loss conditions. There are now several well-known natural, plant-based products which either reduce testosterone's conversion to DHT (via the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme system), block the binding of DHT to receptor sites, or both. Most common, and most important are Saw Palmetto Berry extract and Stinging Nettle Root extract. These to herbs work in combination to both block the conversion of testosterone to DHT and prevent it's binding to receptor sites in the scalp. Other herbs employed with similar functions include pygeum africanum and pumpkin seed oil, both used to bring into balance the testosterone/DHT ratio; lastly, the plant sterol Beta-Sitosterol is often used successfully to treat prostate enlargement, which has similar causes to male pattern baldness - whether it will support hair growth is not yet known, but it likely won't hurt!. Finally, getting an adequate supply of Zinc is also important in maintaining this hormonal balance. The entire androgen hormone regulation system is fairly complex; just remember these items: Saw Palmetto, Nettle Root (not leaf!), Pygeum, Zinc, and Beta-Sitosterol. By the way, if using a prostate formula for these nutrients, they should be taken in gel cap form - they are better absorbed this way than in plain powder, and hence more effective.

In addition to these herbs, which are also commonly used around the world for blocking the creation and effects of DHT, Procyanidins, or Polyphenols, have been shown to inhibit DHT systemically, AND can stimulate hair growth when applied topically. These anti-oxidant compounds first became renown with the discovery of the amazing action of grape seed extract and it's powerful ability as a free-radical scavenger. More recently, Japanese researchers went through the effort of testing HUNDREDS of compounds in the laboratory for their effect on the stimulation of hair growth, and they found the compounds of grape seed extract grew hair at a greater rate than the pharmaceutical preparation Minixodil. With further testing, using variations of the polyphenols, they discovered those found in apple skin polyphenols to be even more effective, nearly twice effective as Rogaine. Further, with the addition of Forskolin, another herbal extract, the effect was even greater. Exciting news! The interesting thing is that these compounds actually stimulated the hair follicles to become active, whereas it seems Rogaine works by lowering blood pressure in the scalp, thereby increasing blood flow to the follicles. And these compounds did not produce an initial 'shedding' as Rogaine has been known to do.

In addition to the polyphenols, certain essential oils alone and in combination can be effective at hair growth stimulation. In a Scottish study on alopecia areata patients, a blend of Lavender, Thyme, Cedarwood and Rosemary oils based in Jojoba and Grapeseed was found to significantly enhance the regrowth of hair compared to an application of just the base oils alone. Many essential oils, including lavender and rosemary, contain 'ketones', molecules that have been found to cause the skin to regenerate. Further, these oils could be enhanced with the addition of Rosehip Seed oil, which contains compounds similar to Retin-A, a pharmaceutical which has been used in combination with Rogaine for faster effects.

Given all this wonderful information, how does one combine them into an effective regimen? The best thing to do is keep it simple - the more simple it is, the more likely it is you'll stay with it for the several months it will take to see significant effects. So, for the systemic DHT suppression and inhibition, look at formulas either designed specifically for hair, or those for the support of the Prostate gland - they will contain almost the exact same ingredients. Look for a high-quality supplement, with standardized Saw Palmetto extract, Nettle Root extract, and Pygeum extract. Do not take the un-extracted herbs, they will not likely be strong enough in doses you are willing to consume. Saw Palmetto can be consumed in doses between 160 and 320mg daily, Nettle Root a bit more, and Pygeum significantly less. They should be in a gel cap, preferably in Pumpkin seed oil. Take a separate Beta Sitosterol supplement, around 400mg daily, if it is not included already. This is typically found in dry capsules, and there have not been reports of the importance of consuming this in an oil-based capsule, though you can take it with fatty food if you want to be sure (this may help the absorption). Add an oral supplement of Green Tea extract, Grape Seed extract, or Apple Polyphenol extract if you like, along with a good multivitamin.

For the topical application, one can find natural hair care products on the internet using apple polyphenols, or you can make your own for less cost. Apple polyphenols are just now becoming available in bulk and in capsules. You can create your own topical blend by mixing these into water or an alcohol/water solution at 1-3% by weight (1 ounce of water weighs about 30 grams, so 1 gram of apple polyphenols in one ounce of water will produce about a 3% solution - more is not better here, as there was a drop-off in effectiveness with higher concentrations in the laboratory). An herbal extract of Forskolin can also be added to enhance the effects. Finally, this can all be made in Nettle Root tea as the base, adding a DHT inhibitor to the blend. Try applying 2 - 3 times daily.

For the essential oils, the recipe used in the scientific study was as follows: 3 drops of essential oil of thyme, 3 drops of essential oil of lavender, 3 drops of essential oil of rosemary 3 drops of essential oil of cedarwood based in 1/8 cup of grapeseed oil and 1/8 cup of jojoba oil. Apply during the day some time, massaging into the scalp, and leaving in for 20 minutes to an hour, then wash out, or apply before going to bed. This will give enough time for the oils to penetrate the skin and have their effect. If you wish to further enhance this blend, you may squeeze some of the gel caps of Saw Palmetto et. al. into the oil, which can reduce the effects of DHT topically, in addition to the systemic effect of the oral supplements.

So there it is, the roundup of the more well-known and tested natural remedies for male pattern baldness. While Rogaine for growth stimulation, and Finasteride or Dutasteride for DHT inhibition are completely reasonable ways to go, their costs are high and the effects of their long term use are not well known. And then there are some folks that would prefer to stay away from chemically manufactured medicines altogether - hopefully this bit of information will help. There is much more research available on the internet, though hopefully this is enough information to get you confidently started.

Culprit Behind Female Hair Loss

2009-05-23T21:29:00.001-07:00

Women are accustomed to styling their hair to make their personality shine through. However, not every woman, can enjoy their crowning glory’s health all throughout their lives. To the detriment of these prettier species, female hair loss can happen.

It is a widely-known dilemma affecting over 30 million women in the United States alone, which is according to the American Dermatology Academy. It doesn’t only affect older women, even girls at a tender age of 15 or 16 can develop this dreaded problem – female hair loss.

What can possibly cause hair loss in women? Here are some of the speculated culprits of female hair loss:

Blame it on your parents.

Yes, genes or having genetic predisposition to succumb to this problem is one of the major causes of hair loss. Checking if your grandma or aunts are suffering from hair loss can help inform you of your future with your tresses. Those with genetic predisposition to develop hair loss usually suffer from androgenic alopecia. It is a condition wherein androgen, a type of hormone which is aplenty with men, interferes with the normal cycle of hair growth. Androgenic alopecia used to be the most popular cause of hair loss.

You could be sick of something.

Sometimes female hair loss is a symptom of an underlying medical condition. Such conditions that can cause female balding include polycystic ovary syndrome. Other conditions include autoimmune disorders. These autoimmune disorders can cause alopecia areata, hair loss in a less dramatic level. Alopecia areata is an inflammatory condition which can make hair come out in patches or clumps.

Medical conditions such as anemia, a viral or fungal infection, anorexia or bulimia, liver disease, essential fatty acid deficiency, zinc deficiency, too much vitamin A, thyroid disorders and other chronic diseases can also be at fault when female hair loss is experienced. Some women who also undergo medications such as chemotherapy or taking in or stopping certain birth pills, amphetamines, bromocriptine, anti-cholesterol agents, etc., can also be one root cause of hair loss.

Other conditions that can cause a certain type of hair loss known as telogen effluvium include crash dieting, child birth, menopause, a traumatic emotional event or surgery. This female hair loss condition is usually temporary and happens because the natural growth cycle of the hair gets altered.

Habits can also cause female hair loss. These habits are hair pulling, overuse of scrunchies, overuse of hair products, etc. Stress can trigger hair pulling and other habits that can cause hair to come out.

So how does female hair loss get treated?

Experts in treating hair loss in female recommend diagnosing the main cause of this condition first before attacking it with any treatment plan.

If your thinning hair is because of an oily scalp, doctors would recommend that you shampoo your hair more frequently.

If it’s a habit that is causing hair loss, psychological help is usually of great help. But if it’s another medical condition, such as anemia, or thyroid disorder another treatment plan will abate female hair loss. Getting this disorder diagnosed early will also prove to avoid aggravation of this condition. Also, although taking in vitamins won’t cure hair loss, a healthy diet replete with the essential vitamins and minerals can help make sure that your hair is in good health, too.

Hair Loss, Regrowth and Propecia

2009-05-23T21:28:00.004-07:00

Four years ago I would go out to a night club and wear one of my favorite shirts and nicely pressed slacks and I would be told that I looked forty years old. It was very hard to take as I had just turned 36. I would go on to hear this kind of talk a lot around this time.

I moved to a new area and when I would go out, I would always get funny looks and reactions. I've always been an independent person so I didn't mind going out to a local establishment alone but I was always friendly and had some kind of magnetism that seemed to always attract people.

Now don't get me wrong. I'm just an average looking guy. I am tall and have always stayed in good shape and have always had a friendly and good sense of humor. Because I'm a bigger guy, people seem to make friends with me as I may make them feel comfortable. This is how it had always been since I was twenty years old. However, it wasn't happening anymore. Inside I was still the same sarcastic, humorous and friendly person but on the outside I must have appeared to look like a loner or a psycho-serial killer.

I have never went out of my way to make new friends. However, occasionally when you would just come across people I was getting negative reactions. I knew that there was nothing at all different about me except for one thing. I was still big and had a good body, I was still tan, I still had nice, clean white teeth. I still wore brand new expensive shirts. The only thing that had changed was my hair. It was thinning and looked miniaturized and it was very apparent.

I knew that this was my only draw back but I really didn't know what to do about it. I always made a good living and the thought of hair transplants was totally out of the question. I thought about just shaving it as it seemed "that look" was becoming more common. But I could just never come to do it as I always had this thought in my mind that there was a solution.

I bought a bottle of Propecia and for some reason I kept it in my medicine cabinet for about 6 months. I think that I was scared to take it. Everything that I had read seemed to imply that there were too many side effects. At the time, I hadn't began to do any real research.

So I just hung in there and decided to start scouring the internet and do as much research as possible. I went to the discussion forums and I started to listen to a radio talk show about hair loss. The more that I researched, I started to realize that I must take the Propecia right away or my hair is going to start looking worse.

Even though I was still a little nervous I finally made a decision and I just went for it. I went to a Dermatologist and requested a prescription and he agreed that my hair was miniaturized and he felt that I would be a perfect candidate for Propecia. I had read in these forums that others were experimenting with this "big three" regimen and when I decided to get the prescription for the propecia, I would also start on the other two products as well. My plan was to give myself one full year of taking the three products and I would pray that the routine would work. After ninety days I was starting to see progress. As each month went by I would tell myself that I'm at 15% and now I'm at 20% and so on. Now that I look back, I see that I was being way too conservative. When I thought that I was at 50% of the way there and on the road to recovery, I was probably really only at 20%. I still had another 80% of improvement to go. As some people would say, I hadn't even "scratched the surface"

After almost three years of this regimen I must say that I am very happy and that my results are definitely better then expected. I was a guy who had obvious hair loss to anybody that knew me or not. Now I'm a guy that still has a little frontal recession and still a little thinning in the crown and for the most part has a significant amount of hair.

I went out to a local establishment recently and a 27 year old guy talked to me for about an hour and he told me that he was 27 and that I'm "what 32,33?" I said try 39. He said "really, wow you actually look about 32 and you seem like a 32 year old" Of course the first thing that comes to your mind is that he was just trying to be nice and just complementing me. But I really believe that he was sincere as I have been getting a lot of this kind of treatment for the past year.

I can go out now and I have that magnetism again where people want to know me or talk to me instead of looking at me like I'm some crazy man. I still wear the nice shirts, I still work out and my body still looks as good as it did when I was 36, my teeth are still nice and white and I still look tan. The only thing that is different is my hair. It doesn't look thin and miniaturized anymore. It looks like a normal full head of hair.

I truly believe that the way your hair looks tells a lot about a person's age. The hair is the frame for your face and I must say I know that my hair looks 10 times better today then it did back when I was 36. You would think that since I have androgenic alopecia that my hair would look thinner and worse each year.

Actually the reverse has happened for me and time is actually on my side instead of against me because I have reversed the progression of my hair loss. Instead of having a higher level of DHT in my scalp miniaturizing my existing hair follicles, I take finasteride, better known as Propecia. Finasteride has been proven to block Type II 5 alpha reductace, the enzhyme that converts testosterone to DHT.

Although Propecia is the main player of The Big Three, there are still two other products that I feel must be taken. The three products taken together seem to work in a synergistic manner. Propecia does its thing, minoxidil has its role and nizoral also plays a key part. However, one plus one plus one equals four as far as the overall effect of the treatments. Nizoral makes Minoxidil more effective and Mixoxidil works better when taking propecia.

I have been taking the Big Three now for almost three years and I must say the regimen has really changed my life.

Female Pattern Baldness: What Causes Hair Loss In Women?

2009-05-23T21:28:00.003-07:00

So many men go bald and nearly all women seem to have heads full of hair. The question, naturally is if baldness discriminates on the basis of gender. That would be grossly unfair. Well, it would be unfair but the fact is even women suffer from hair loss. And if there is something that goes by the expression 'male pattern baldness', there is also a thing called 'female pattern baldness'.

Of course, there is no denying the fact that baldness is more prevalent and more apparent in males than in females. However, women suffer more than men when they sense that they are losing hair at an abnormal pace because females tend to attach a great deal of importance to the quality and quantity of hair. And why shouldn't it be, given the fact that hair are an integral part of feminine charm.

In some cases, female baldness can be hereditary. Mostly, menopause brings hair loss in women, which is determined by one's genetic heritage. In other words, if a female loses hair in menopausal stage, it is because her mother too suffered from hair loss at that particular stage of her life.

Another cause for female baldness are certain ailments, especially those that come with extended bouts of high fever. Among them are typhoid fever and scarlet fever. Such fevers are a medically established cause of hair loss. There are certain medications, the use of which may also result in hair loss. But in such cases hair loss is gradual.

Malnutrition and a dysfunctional endocrine system have also been found to trigger a slow hair loss.

Fungal infections can also cause hair loss. These fungal infections are chronic bacterial attacks or a result of the presence of ringworms.

Chemotherapy tends to destroy all the rapidly developing cells including the hair follicles, as they also consist of active cells. The baldness thus caused is not temporary but total.

A condition called Alopecia universalis also causes permanent loss of body hair including those on the head and those that form the eyelashes and eyebrows. The causes of the ailment is not fully known and the research is on in this area.

What is quite apparent is a fact that female hair loss does not set in early phase of life unless there are some other reasons for it, like some ailment or malnutrition. So, no cause for beauty-worries for the young ladies and for the relatively older ones, too. Things are pretty much bright unless the genes are unfavourable.

5 Natural Steps to Prevent Hair Loss

2009-05-23T21:28:00.001-07:00

It is always easier to stop something ahead of time instead of waiting and stopping it after it has already happened. This is the same with preventing hair loss in comparison with waiting until you’ve already lost your hair and trying to re-grow it. Preventing hair loss can be done as early as age 18 or 20 and it is a wise decision especially if you have a family history of baldness or thin hair. The sooner you plan ahead the sooner you will see results and the less of a chance you will go bald in the future. No one wants to go bald and you don’t have to if you take the proper steps. Here are a few remedies and solutions to preventing hair loss to the best of your abilities.

1. Number One- Eat and drink biotin. Biotin is a very essential vitamin that will aid in hair growth and you can get this in foods such as honey, milk and bananas. A great, healthy and tasty way to get biotin is to make a blended shake with these ingredients and yogurt.

2. Number Two- Stop stress! Stress is one of the leaders for hair loss reasons and the least amount of stress you allow in your life the better for your hair. Get a stress ball, get a massage and do whatever you can to release all the stress from your life.

3. Number Three: Massage your scalp every time you shampoo your hair. Massaging your head in the shower not only cleanses your scalp but it also increases the blood flow and circulation within your head. This is even more important as you age because circulation slows down the older you get and you should keep circulation in mind.

4. Number Four: Sleep! Sleep cures a lot of problems and it is vital to keeping the entire body in sync and healthy. Your hair is only one of the things that will benefit from getting proper sleep (7 to 9 hours of sleep per night consistently).

5. Number Five: Get Vitamin B in your everyday foods and supplements. Vitamin B is one of the most essential vitamins you can get and Vitamin B6 a key to healthy hair. If you don’t feel that you are getting enough Vitamin B in your foods everyday then you should look into getting a good vitamin supplement to go with your daily regimen.

While baldness is largely a hereditary issue, that does not mean you can’t prevent it and fight against it. Once again, the best time to begin the hair loss prevention time is in your late teens to early 20s. Getting a head start on your hair loss potential is a good idea and will pay off in large ways as you get older and your hair thins out.

Various Hair Loss Treatment UK Choices

2009-05-23T21:27:00.003-07:00

The occurrence of hair loss is due to a number of reasons. But the most common hair loss factor is heredity. When people are suffering from hair loss, the genes and hormones in their body produce a shrinking effect on the hair follicles, causing them to become incapable of growing new hair. There are many types of hair loss treatment UK products that give you a better alternative. Below are a number of treatment options you can choose from.

Drugs

You can acquire hair loss treatment UK drugs over the counter or by prescription. The two in this category are propecia and minoxidil. Propecia is a medical breakthrough that can stop and reverse hair loss in males. It is used the world over for its efficacy in stopping and reversing hair loss. Clinical studies have shown that propecia prevented loss of hair in more than 80% of occurrences, while regrowth was noted in 64% of cases. Minoxidil was initially used as a medication for blood pressure. But then it was discovered that it had the capability of slowing down or reversing the process of hair loss. When administered as a lotion directly to a bald area, it can cause hair to grow again. Using minoxidil with a 2% concentration was found to have positive results. It is proven that continued use of the product resulted to thicker hair. When used together with propecia, minoxidil becomes more effective.

Commercial and Natural Treatments

Other options for hair loss treatment UK include the commercial and the natural ones. The most effective ones are those that offer guarantees of reducing excessive hair loss within one week and can be used as standalone products. Some hair loss treatment UK products even have gone through numerous scientific tests.

Hair Transplant

An alternative to hair loss treatment UK is hair transplant. This cosmetic hair loss treatment is increasingly becoming the most popular choice for a lot of men. Micro grafting, a procedure that utilizes small plug grafts, produces the best results when it comes to appearance. The latest methods involved in the method also make a good hair transplant hard to distinguish.

Hair Concealers

Hair concealers are considered the safest and simplest to use among all other options. When properly applied, these hair loss treatment UK products can produce remarkable results. Here are the different types of hair concealers:

· Solid – These are hard-packed, colored powder hair concealers that cover and thicken the hair, but do not block the pores or affect the growth of hair. These products are safe for daily wear as they allow the skin to breathe freely.

· Sprays – The hair concealers that come in spray form feature ingredients that help to thicken hair of people suffering from hair loss.

· Particles – These products provide a safe and natural way to improve the appearance associated with thinning hair. Application is done by holding the container over the thinning area on the head and shaking it gently. The container has thousands of tiny color-matched hair fibers in it that when shaken are transferred to the head. These particles are then intertwined with the hair on the scalp. The hair fibers are charged with static electricity so the bond stays secure even under harsh weather elements.

Choosing a Hair Loss Prevention Product

2009-05-23T21:27:00.001-07:00

Thinning hair can be a big and embarrassing problem. It can affect other people’s perception of you and make you feel self-conscious about your appearance. You may have tried hair loss treatment products to help stop further loss of hair but haven’t been entirely successful with it. Here are some tips you can use when choosing a hair loss prevention product that will help you grow more hair.

The first thing that you should do is to look into various kinds of available information. There are many websites about hair loss and the different aspects of the problem. There are also a lot of hair loss websites that promote their very own hair loss prevention product. You can browse through these information and learn everything about your problem. When you have learned what you need to, you will be at a better position to determine the best choice that’s suitable for you and be better informed when choosing other options available to you.

A hair loss prevention product may come in different varieties. But if you want a more effective product that prevents hair loss, opt for one that contains minoxidil since this is one ingredient that has been approved to help hair grow back and slow down the loss of hair for some people. A hair loss prevention product with minoxidil is often prescribed to patients before any other treatment. It is often prescribed together with Retin-A for increased absorption of minoxidil into hair follicles. Although a lot of users may find that a certain hair loss prevention product may work for them, such is not the case with other people.

You should be careful when choosing from the long list of hair loss prevention products that are available today. Before deciding on a hair loss prevention product, you should check if it has been approved by the FDA or has been shown to be effective in decent studies.

Here are other tips when choosing a product that prevents hair loss:

· As much as possible, choose a hair loss prevention product that has been in the market for a long time as the product is usually sold with a money back guarantee.

· Ingredients for a hair loss prevention product should be completely natural, hypoallergenic, non-toxic, contain no hormone and have been proven to be safe in laboratory testing.

· You know you have chosen a good hair loss prevention product if your hair grows about ½ inch to one inch a month, although this may vary from person to person.

· Be sure that you are able to identify the active ingredient in the chosen hair loss product so you can be ensured that the hair loss prevention product is effective. This is one way of avoiding possible side effects.

Prevention of further hair loss is less complicated than stopping or reversing it. Following some simple tips may not necessarily be the solution to the problem. But in the long run, prevention is better and a whole lot cheaper than any other solution to hair thinning problems.

Effective Hair Loss Baldness Treatment Options

2009-05-23T21:26:00.004-07:00

Hair loss is a very common occurrence, with more than 60 million Americans suffering from it. Since baldness is inherited, a lot of people think that there is no hair loss baldness treatment available for them. The good news is that there are several ways that deal with hair loss problems.

There is a hair loss baldness treatment available for different people. However, the first step in dealing with hair loss is to consult with a doctor and to get a complete medical examination. This is one way of knowing the precise cause of hair loss and determining the best hair loss baldness treatment. Hair loss in men and women can be due to heredity, illness, malnutrition and side effects from medications. The only way to know the cause of baldness for every individual is to consult with a physician.

Hereditary baldness is a condition that medical practitioners don’t have the capability to treat yet. But there have been hair loss baldness treatment options available in the market that can deal with the problem effectively, whether the problem is due to genetics, illness, drugs or malnutrition. Two of these medications have been approved by the FDA. They are dutasteride and finasteride.

Many people consider dutasteride as the most advanced hair loss baldness treatment to suppress dehydrotestosterone (DHT), the main cause of hair fall among men. Dutasteride has shown that it is capable of inhibiting the two kinds of enzymes that convert testosterone into DHT. Generic Dutasteride works by reducing the size of the enlarged prostate and diminishing the levels of DHT by 90% at two weeks and 93% at two years.

Finasteride (propecia) is another hair loss baldness treatment that stops hair loss. Propecia is the brand name being used in hair loss treatments that contain finasteride. Finasteride has been proven in scientific studies to prevent hair loss. Finasteride works by blocking 5-alpha reductase, which is an enzyme that converts testosterone into DHT. In theory, propecia stops the conversion of testesterone into DHT, thereby preventing DHT from binding to the follicles. Propecia is considered one of the best hair loss treatments. The medication is specifically good for people with minimal loss of hair as users are able to keep their hair without further hair loss advancement.

Propecia is undoubtedly one of the best hair loss treatments because it has proven to work and is also very convenient. Just pop in a small pill everyday and there is no need to mess with the hair. It is particularly good for those with minimal hair loss because users can be confident of keeping their hair without further progression of hair loss.

Another FDA-approved hair loss baldness treatment is minoxidil 2% solution. Minoxidil is considered an effective hair loss baldness treatment since it is efficient in recruiting hair at the follicles, especially when taken together with DHT inhibitors like propecia.

These are three products that are part of an increasing trend towards natural hair loss baldness treatment products that counteract the effects of DHT. Aside from the three medications, other methods for treating hair loss include acupuncture, aromatherapy and even hair transplants.

Many people suffer from hereditary loss of hair. For men, the abnormality is called Androgenetic Alopecia or “male pattern baldness,” which is implicated in 95% of hair loss cases. This type of hair loss is caused by an increase in dihydrotestostrone (DHT), a direct component of testosterone. While this type of hair loss is inevitable, it can be slowed using hair loss treatment for man and other various treatments.

Since the cause of male pattern baldness is caused by a rise in DHT, the most effective hair loss treatment for man is the one with that focuses on blocking the build up of DHT in the body. One such medication for male hair loss is finasteride. Finasteride is a hair loss treatment for man that works by preventing certain enzymes from converting testosterone into DHT.

Minoxidil is one of the most popular hair loss treatment for man. It is widely regarded as effective in about 25% of men suffering from baldness on the crown. It is applied twice a day in cream form. However, it is effective only when it is continuously used.

Surgery is one other hair loss treatment for man. Although the surgical procedures have undergone significant improvements, the effects are not evident until after several months have passed since surgery. In hair transplants, very tiny plugs of hair are taken from the side or back of the scalp, which are then transplanted onto bald spots.

Scalp massage is a traditional hair loss treatment for man. Massaging the scalp stimulates hair follicles and unclogs blocked oil glands in the scalp. It also encourages growth of healthier hair and scalp.

Tissue expansion is another type of hair loss treatment for man. In this procedure, tiny balloons are placed under the scalp between those areas with thick hair. Over a number of months, these balloons are gradually inflated.

Another hair loss treatment for man is to have proper diet as this is extremely important in hair loss prevention. What you are feeding your body will influence the different areas of system function. If you have an unhealthy diet, you have higher chances of developing hair loss. To prevent such thing from happening, be sure that you eat whole, natural foods as these will guarantee permanent good health. Make sure that your diet consists of whole grains, fresh fruits and lean meats. Protect your system by avoiding or cutting down on excessive caffeine, alcohol, tobacco products and highly processed foods.

Vitamins are another option for hair loss treatment for man. Taking vitamins that help prevent hair from thinning is another option for men who are suffering from baldness. These types of vitamins are valuable in aiding thinning hair and in the promotion of quick growth of healthy hair. These vitamins are typically a combination of amino acids, biotin, zinc, magnesium and vitamins B6.

Many who resort to this type of hair loss treatment for man report that these specific vitamins have produced positive results and that they already have thicker, shiny and healthier hair. If you want, you can take vitamins that are solely for balding and hair loss.

Women's Hair Loss - Finally the Solution to To Thinning Hair

2009-05-23T21:26:00.001-07:00

An estimated 40% of women experience noticeable hair loss by the age 40. Women rarely lose their hair due to genetic predisposition. However hair loss in women is reaching new high levels. Women's hair loss can start as early as the late teens to early twenties. Most commonly, women experience an overall thinning of hair rather than a receding hair line like men do. It is normal to lose 50 to 150 hairs in a day; however hair loss in women usually occurs when these hairs start to be replaced by shorter, thinner hairs. This can be hard to notice at first, but over time it can become very apparent. Thinning hair loss in women may be caused by many problems:

Hormonal imbalance and other cyclical shifts.

Hair loss related to pregnancy postmenopausal trauma.

Effects of medications including birth control pills.

Nervous conditions including tension and stress.

Medical treatments such as chemo therapy and thyroid conditions.

Harsh chemicals such as commercial shampoos, perms, hair color, and bleach

Iron, vitamin and mineral imbalance.

Severely poor diet including dehydration.

Poor circulation can cut off the nutrients that blood flow delivers to the scalp.

*Regenerx is all natural safe alternative to Rogaine however without the side effects associated with minoxidil which can include scalp irritation, itchiness and dryness. Also, unlike minoxidil, Regenerx does not contain any alcohol or propylene glycol (PPG) which can really irritate the scalp and alter or damage color treated hair.

Regenerx- Finally...the solution for thinning hair.

Regenerx was developed from clinical research work conducted at Department of Dermatology, Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, in Scotland.

Treatment with this aromatherapy formulation in the patients suffering from mild to severe hair loss showed significant improvement compared with the control group. Researchers have concluded that pharmacologically active stimulants for hair growth are present in this formulation of specific essential oils and that these oils can be therapeutic in patients with alopecia and thinning hair. The researchers also point out that the formulation caused no side effects, while steroids and other common agents can cause adverse side effects as described above.

Regenerx contains a unique blend of natural oils like cedarwood, rosemary, and lavender which help stimulate hair growth by increasing blood flow to the scalp. More blood flow allows more of the important nutrients and vitamins to reach the scalp. Increased blood circulation can help awaken previously dormant follicles and promote new hair growth.

Regenerx formulation also includes jojoba, grapeseed, thyme, and rosemary oils to help condition and revitalize the scalp. These ingredients contain antioxidants like vitamins E and C which neutralize free-radicals that can damage cells of the scalp. Natural oils like these moisturize and soften dry, damaged scalp to help restore hair follicles and promote healthy hair growth. Jojoba and grapeseed oils are also very effective carrier oils. Carrier oils promote the absorption of other oils into the skin to further increase their effectiveness.

Hair follicles can sometimes become clogged with build-ups of sebum that inhibit hair growth. It's important to clean out this build-up to make way for new hair growth. Lavender, thyme, and jojoba are natural oils that can clear out sebum to make way for new hair growth. In some cases bacteria can inhibit hair growth. These oils also have antiseptic properties that can destroy harmful bacteria and soothe the scalp to create a better environment for hair growth.

Women experiencing hormonal changes often find that their hair starts to thin and becomes brittle. Years of harsh treatment combined with blow-drying and exposure to the sun may irreparably damage hair and decrease volume. Regenerx is a natural way to bring back fuller hair by stimulating hair growth as well as volumizing existing hair using natural essential oils. Whether you are experiencing advanced women's hair loss, noticing a slight thinning of your hair, or want to prevent hair loss altogether. Regenerx provides a unique and effective treatment for women's hair loss that can have you seeing noticeable results just in three months. You don't have to suffer from the effects of hair loss. Finally there is a solution for thinning hair.

How You Can Look Really Fashionable And Gorgeous With Significant Hair Loss

2009-05-23T21:25:00.004-07:00

Baldness amongst women is something hardly discussed in the fashion press and yet it is estimated that as many as 6 million women in the UK suffer with significant hair thinning, excessive hair shedding, androgenetic hair loss (the female equivalent of male baldness) and significant hair loss through the different forms of alopecia.

For men, baldness has become increasingly socially acceptable, with many men now shaving their heads. If anything this is the preferred trend, currently more acceptable than the ‘comb-over’ or the toupée. For women it still remains the final taboo, an embarrassment beyond open discussion.

Hair represents so many things to each individual, even if your hair before hair loss could hardly be described as your ‘crowning glory’. Your hair still probably conveyed your general well-being, your sense of style and personality, even your lifestyle. It’s highly understandable that for most women who have spent years defining and refining a hairstyle that makes them recognisable to family, friends and colleagues, should feel devastated at its loss.

With this taboo subject, there is little understanding of the social and psychological pressures women face. Hair loss isn’t about mere vanity for women, it is about trying to maintain a healthy attitude to body image, which is critical to the recovery process as well as coping with longer-term hair loss issues.

So how can you deal with those issues? How can you repair the damage to your self-esteem, your confidence, your body image, your look, your style?

Two common options spring to mind: wigs – improving all the time, with the more expensive light weight wefted and monofilament models and wig personalization cutting services becoming more available. However wigs in the summer months can prove hot and itchy when worn over prolonged periods of time. So let’s focus on the second fashion alternative - hats/ scarves. There is headwear available on the market specifically for women with hair loss, focusing on the practicalities of hiding that hair loss. Depending on your point of view, you could feel this actually highlights the problem, drawing attention to it, rather than softly distracting the eye away from it. And this doesn’t do much to build the self-esteem.

Most women report their biggest concern with the onset of significant hair loss is that they feel everyone is looking at them. How do women get to feel comfortable in their own bodies again or indeed feel they can simply blend in wherever they go? In fashion terms it’s all in the planning, take a good look in your wardrobe and figure out what you like to wear, what you feel good in and what other people tell you really suits you. List the number of complete outfits you can put your hand on and then think about how you’re going to accessorise those outfits to go with your new hair loss image. Jewellery is key, if you only wear gold or silver consider now picking up colour in a piece of jewellery, i.e. earrings or necklace that complement the colours of an outfit.

This also means coordinating headwear, coordinating because if you’re trying to ‘blend in’ it shouldn’t dominate your outfit, it should complement it and mimic the style of the outfit. The hat colour should ideally coordinate with you i.e. a colour selected because you know it suits your eyes/skin tone and the colour reflects something in the chosen outfit. Mimicking style can be hard for some people, for most of us it is ‘everyday casual’, in which case soft fabric hats are the most accessible style to find and feel comfortable in. Find a hat style that suits you and stick with it, duplicate it, triplicate it, purchase it in as many colours as you like to suit your key outfits. Suddenly life will feel ordered and calm, we’ve talked to women, who once they knew they were looking the best that they could, their confidence soared and they felt able to cope. Fashion for them becomes like that magical cloak but they don’t disappear, it simply deflects any curiosity and they can get out there and get on with life and focus on the important issue of recovery.

How do you achieve this? With a supportive network and an openness to experiment and work at achieving that new image. Headwear is nothing to be afraid of or concerned about, it is simply another item of clothing. Chose it well and it will serve you well and make you feel gorgeous, and people will only see the hat, your style, and you!

What To Do About Hair Loss In Women

2009-05-23T21:25:00.003-07:00

Hair loss is in women is not as uncommon as you might think. It does not only happen to men. As a result, more and more hair loss treatments are being developed for women.

While we are used to seeing balding men, we are not accustomed to seeing balding women. Women tend to hide their hair loss under hats or wigs. Women are more self-conscious about their hair loss than most men are. Therefore it is all the more important to have effective treatment for women with hair loss.

Causes of hair loss in women

It is normal to shed some hair each day. In fact, experts say healthy people shed as many as 100 hairs each day. When a hair falls out, a new hair begins to grow from the same follicle. As some women grow older, though, new hairs may not grow. Hair usually thins gradually all over the head. Thinning hair can occur in younger women, but often begins to occur during menopause.

Hair loss in women can be caused by a number of other things. For instance, women often lose some hair during pregnancy. Hair will regrow after childbirth. Surgery may also cause hair loss due to anesthesia. Hair will regrow on its own and hair loss treatment is usually not needed.

A poor diet can lead to hair loss. Hair is made up of protein, so it is important to eat a healthy diet that includes foods with protein. Hair also needs minerals, particularly iron, in order to grow. An iron deficiency can lead to hair loss in women. Taking an iron supplement can help immensely.

Over treating hair with chemicals, such as those found in some hair dyes and permanents or straighteners can cause hair loss in women. Hair will usually regrow if you stop using these chemicals. Certain hairstyles can also lead to thinning hair. Tight buns, braids, or cornrows put extra strain on the scalp. This can actually cause scarring on the scalp, and then hair cannot grow there anymore.

Thyroid disease can cause hair loss. Medical treatment to correct the hormonal imbalance caused by the thyroid disease will allow the hair to regrow.

Certain medications will also cause hair loss in women, such as the chemotherapy sometimes used to treat cancer. If you think your medication is causing you to lose your hair, talk to your doctor. Never stop taking medication without checking with your doctor first.

Hair loss treatment

Hair loss treatment is not necessary in many cases. If hair loss is due to pregnancy, it will usually regrow following childbirth. If it is due to anesthesia used during surgery, it will usually regrow on its own. If hair loss is due to a poor diet, improving the diet is often all the treatment that is needed. If you wish to speed the natural hair regrowth process, you can try a hair loss treatment.

If hair loss is due to a medical problem, such as thyroid problems, you will need to see a doctor to get medical treatment. Your hair may then regrow on its own. If not, you may want to try some hair loss treatments.

If your hair loss is due to the normal aging process there are several hair loss treatments you can try. There are topical treatments, such as Rogaine, which you apply to your scalp. There are also oral medications, such as Propecia. Both of these have been proven to help treat hair loss in women. If you are on any medications, talk to your doctor to make sure these treatments are safe for you.

Genetic Hair Loss

2009-05-23T21:25:00.001-07:00

Hair loss is the most dreaded problem among humans as it directly affects the person’s outlook. Hair loss can be caused by a number of things like using harsh chemical soaps, shampoos, gels, stress or imbalanced diet. Certain illness can also cause hair. These are all causes in hair loss but the most common type of hair loss that affects approximately 95% men and 70% women is known as hereditary hair loss also known as Genetic hair loss. Genetic hair loss is more commonly observed among males than females and usually starts at the age of 30. The reason for this is that this type of hair loss depends on the extent to which the male hormone testosterone is converted in the scalp to another hormone dihydroxytestosterone. Although genetic hair loss takes place usually after the age of 30 in many cases but in some cases it starts to happen as early as your late teens. Genetic hair loss comes usually from the mother’s side of the family.

Genetic hair loss occurs due to the shortening of the hair's growth cycle, this in turn makes the hair thinner and shorter, and a time comes when the growth stalls completely. It is also responsible for developing bald patches and interacts with the hair follicles. The hereditary hair loss has a very predictable pattern, which is often followed from generation to generation so you can predict by seeing your father and his father how you will go. By the time men reach 50 years of age 50% of the men become bald. In case of men hair loss usually occurs on the crown or the top of the head starting with a receding hairline and leaving healthy hair on the back and sides of the head.

Through certain preventive measure people can slow down the process of baldness. These include using products that make the hair healthy and avoid certain things that damage hair and make them weak, as weak hair fall of easily.
