hair loss women

Hair loss is a common problem. But most of the people who suffer hair loss never understand why their hair is falling. It is a mystery for most of us. Because of not understanding
we try many therapies including different diets and natural formulations. But most of the times
we find no improvement. That is very disappointing and we accept the fact of hair loss and stop trying. This need not be done. Once we understand all the possible reasons of hair loss
we can surely find out what is happening to us and take an informed decision. Alopecia aerata is one of common causes of hair loss. Let us find out about that.

Hair loss- what is alopecia aerata?

Alopecia aerata is an autoimmune disease. In this disease the body attacks the hair follicles and kills them. The body begins to think that hair follicles are foreign objects and wants to remove them. Why it does that is a mystery.

Hair loss pattern in alopecia aerata

You may begin losing hair in coin size patches. Sometimes the loss will stop after a patch or two and re-grow there after some months. Sometimes the loss continues and you may lose all the hair. This hair may come back after some months. No body can predict about how you will lose hair and when you will get it again. If you have a family member who suffers from a autoimmune disease such as Atopic dermatitis
hay fever etc. your probability of getting alopecia aerata increases. There is no way to stop this hair loss. Only treatment can be done to get the hair back sooner.

Hair loss and baldness is a common problem in our society. A number of men and women are facing hair problems and seeking for help. Hair problem badly affects one’s social activities and especially the women. About 90% of men and women are suffering with hair problems
some time it is thinning of hair
sometime it is falling of hair and some time it is becoming bald.

In general
a person with less hair on his / her head is considered as less smart / beautiful as his / her counterpart who has hairy head with healthy hair. Hair loss is clinically diagnosed as the deficiency of Biotin a vitamin of ‘Vitamin B – Complex’ group in the body. Vitamin B7 and vitamin H are other synonyms of Biotin.

It is said that
‘prevention is better than cure’
so a person need to take vitamin H rich diet to maintain his / her body and hair health
as biotin is also important for other bodily functions. But no problem comes calling in life
so if you are being in hair problems
then you need to take necessary steps to prevent further loss and ultimately baldness.

Now

what are the steps
one has to take in case of Hair Problems??

Here is little ‘Easy Hair Loss Cure’ advice
which you will like to follow
if you are facing Hair Loss Problems.

Different types of lotions
various medicines and shampoos in different fragrances are available in the market stores to prevent your hair. You can buy these hair loss products from a medical store in your locality. There are the products
which you can by only after a physician’s prescription. The choice of selecting a hair loss product totally depends on the level of suffering you are going with.

The clinical root cause of hair loss may be any
like hereditary
hormonal imbalance and aging etc. And hence an individual need to receive medications accordingly. The blocking of hair follicles is found one major condition for hair problems. A hormone called dihydro testosterone in excessive quantity does the blocking of hair follicles
which ultimately results into hair problems. Dihydro testosterone is also pronounced as DHT. The effect of DHT in hair follicles can be neutralized using 5 – alpha reductase
which is an inhibitor.

Nugen HP
Revivogen
and Hair genesis are some of the common hair loss products available in pharmacies and drug stores. All these medicines help in reducing the level of DHT and thus help in control of hair loss and promote healthy hair.

Nugen HP controls your problems naturally. This blocks the DHT in follicles and thus cures your hair problems. If you are facing hair problems
you must have to take proper nutritious balanced diet. Take a diet full with proteins
vitamins and minerals.

Hair genesis is very effective in hair problems. It is a natural DHT blocker and prevents hair loss in males.

Many more products are available in the medical and pharmacy stores
but while using any product
taking diet rich in nutrition is also equally important.

You also can use hair conditioners to prevent hair loss. Revivogen
Folligen
Tricomin
and Nisim are some of the hair conditioners.

Minoxdil is a drug
which is effective in case of youngsters’ hair problems.

So no matter

and conditioners are there to help you and prevent your hairs. But be cautious
take the advice of your doctor and have food enriched with vitamins and minerals and proteins. Hair loss is curable and with little extra effort you can have healthy hair on your head.

In one of my other articles
I revealed that plugged hair follicles are one of the main conditions that start hair thinning and baldness. The other condition is insufficient blood circulation in the scalp.

When you don't have enough blood circulating in your scalp
then your hair roots don't get enough nutrients to support the life and strength of your hair in the follicle.

The hardest place to get good circulation is at the top of your scalp. It is the furthest point away from your heart. It is the area that is less stimulated. The sides of your head are stimulated as you sleep and move your head around the pillow. That is one reason why most people still have hair on the sides of their head while the top is completely bald.

So what the ways you can increase blood circulation to the top of your head?

Here are two ways to do it.

* Use herbal remedies to increase body and scalp blood circulation
* Use hot and cold hydrotherapy

Use herbal remedies to increase body and scalp blood circulation

There are several herbs that provide increase circulation to all parts of the body. Two good standby remedies are ginkgo biloba and cayenne pepper. Use ginkgo biloba as indicated on the label. Ginkgo increases the blood circulation in the brain and all parts of the head.

Use Cayenne pepper in the formulation made of Heart Foods Company. This Cayenne strengthens the heart giving it the ability to pump blood to the furthest reaches of the body.

There are two other herbal formulations that have recently come out to provide increase circulation to all parts of the body - vital cell and Arjuna.

Vital cell is a Chinese herbal combination that is available in the US. It is a powerful remedy that helps to re-establish small veins that have closed off. This creates more pathways for blood to go where it is needed and where it once went.

Arjuna is another herb that comes from another country - India. It is now readily available in the US. Arjuna is the latest herb to be exposed as good for preventing and reducing arthrosclerosis. By reducing narrowing of the arteries in the head
strokes can be avoided and a side benefit is the scalp get more blood.

Use Hot and Cold Hydrotherapy

I have talked about this natural way of bringing more blood into the scalp. It's a technique I use every time I shower. At the end of your shower
run hot water over your head for 20 seconds
turn the hot water off and allow the cold water to run over your head for 20 seconds.

Do this hot-cold water technique three - four times and end with the cold water. This technique allow blood to move in and out of the lower layers of your scalp giving you a blood massage and providing more nutrients to your hair roots. As a side benefit
you are bringing in more blood to your brain giving you more brain power as long as use this technique.

Use herbs to improve you blood circulation to your scalp and use hot-cold water to blood massage your scalp. By doing this
you will find less hair loss and you may even start to see some hair growth.

Men who start to go bald even before a mid-life crisis may have their mothers to blame
according to a new study. Researchers have found that the main construction manual for a full head of hair is located on the X chromosome
which sons always inherit from their mothers.

This genetic storage space contains the so-called androgen receptor gene
a long time balding suspect. Looking at men who were losing their hair at a relatively young age
a team led by Markus Nothen
PhD
of the Life & Brain Center at Bonn University
Germany systematically examined all of the genetic patterns within the X chromosome to see why certain hairlines recede faster than others. It’s not a pretty picture.

The study
published in the American Journal of Human Genetics
claims that a single alteration in the androgen-receptor gene is the major reason why some men end up going bald before their fathers. Nearly half of bald men would not be bald if they did not have this genetic variation. The hair loss in these younger men
he added
was much more severe than in the men who still had a reason to use a comb in their 60s.

The two approved medicines to treat hair loss (Rogaine and Propecia) need to be taken for a long time to see results. With Propecia
doctors sometimes advise their patients not to expect any results before at least six to eight months. And both need to be used indefinitely to maintain its effect. Once you stop
hair loss will continue.

Although there are only two medicines approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat hair loss
many people are interested in other
alternative treatments. The herb saw palmetto has been used for many years in Europe to treat symptoms of an enlarged prostate and there is some evidence that it may also be effective in treating hair loss.

Dandruff is one of the most common scalp problems. But it is surprising that no precise cause off dandruff is known. There is therefore no cure for dandruff
but you can treat it whenever it shows. There are many factors that trigger dandruff and some speculation about the possible causes. Let us talk about them so that we can keep our scalp squeaky clean from dandruff.

Dandruff and fungus-

Dandruff is a kind of Seborrheic dermatitis and it is believed that dandruff is caused by a fungus that normally lives on the human skin and feeds on skin oils. During dandruff this fungus known as malassezia multiplies manifold and creates problems in the scalp. Why a fungus
which otherwise lies dormant
suddenly flares up and multiplies is not precisely known.

Dandruff and other causes-

Other causes that are held responsible for dandruff are - stress
poor hygiene of scalp
over use of shampoos
under use of shampoo
chemical treatments that harm the hair and scalp etc. the incidence of dandruff is less in summer than in winter. We can deduce that less sun may be causing dandruff
but exposing more to sun may cause serious skin problems.

Everybody hates dandruff. No body likes the falling white flakes and the itching scalp. we all try many shampoos and treatments
both natural and chemical to get rid of dandruff. I want to ask many of you who suffer dandruff- how are you sure that you are having dandruff? Unless a doctor diagnosed it as dandruff
how can any one be sure that he/she is suffering dandruff if it is not clearing after many washes? May be you are suffering from something else? Let us look at the other problems that may confuse you.

Dandruff and other scalp problems-

There are many scalp problems that itch and produce scales and white flakes. Psoriasis is one of the tough ones. Unless you get it diagnosed and get treated it will not go away. Many cosmetic applications may cause allergic dermatitis or irritant contact dermatitis. Atopic dermatitis or commonly called eczema can also appear on the scalp. Seborrheic dermatitis is one of the common scalp problems that mimic dandruff.

What is dandruff?

In dandruff what we see as white flakes are skin cells. Our skin regenerates itself every month. The new cells travel from the bottom of the skin layer to the top in a month and the dead cells are shed. These are so microscopic and small in quantity that we don't notice this shedding of cells. In dandruff this shedding increases. That is how these dead cells with skin oils form white flakes and we can see them.

Dandruff and diagnosis-

If you are not able to get rid of dandruff after trying many formulas
it is time that you visit a doctor and get the proper diagnosis done. Once you are sure that it is dandruff
you can take proper measures and get a shiny scalp.

Hair usually grows about half an inch per month
although this slows as you age. Each hair remains on your head for two to six years
and during most of this time is continually growing.

But many factors can disrupt this cycle. The result can be that your hair falls out early or isn't replaced.

A new discovery has been made in finding out what actually causes hair loss
namely: the hardening of collagen. Persons who do not suffer from hair loss have supple collagen and persons who begin showing signs of hair loss have hardened collagen. Collagen hardening interferes with the healthy functioning of the hair roots. The vital exchange process of the hair follicle cycle is disrupted and the hair becomes suffocated.

But What Causes Hair Loss?

Diet: Too little protein in your diet can lead to hair shedding. So can too little iron. Bottom line: Too strenuous dieting can result in hair loss! If you want to lose weight
do it the sensible way
especially if you have a hair thinning/loss problem to begin with.

Childbirth: Some women lose large amounts of hair within two to three months after delivery.

Hot Tips!

One great tip is after washing your hair
dry it in whatever manner you normally do. Then turn your head upside down
give your head a vigorous shake
and once back in a standing position
either "place" your hair using your fingers
rather than a brush or comb. You can also use a hair pick to style your hair. The upside down
shaking
also gives a great deal of fullness to otherwise flat looking thin hair. You'd be amazed at how creative you can be with your fingers without pulling at the root of the hair!

To protect hair
the best practice is to shampoo only when hair is dirty. Because fine hair gets dirty faster
people with fine-textured hair need to shampoo more frequently -- even though fine hair breaks more easily.

For that reason
fine-textured hair benefits from a good shampoo and volume-building conditioner

View the pattern that affects women only. Loss of female hair is not the same as male hair loss determined by heredity. Female hair loss is temporary and is seldom an advance warning of baldness. Transient loss of hair should not
however
be ignored. It is possible for a woman to suffer from hormonal hair loss leading to baldness.

Some of the most common causes are:

1. Pregnancy
2. Severe emotional stress
3. Under medical treatment
4. Hormonal hair loss
Is there a relationship between hair loss and menopause?

The most common cause of hair loss is low thyroid function
which is common among menopausal women.

Other causes include
but are not limited to: changes in hormone levels
increased testosterone
increased stress
which can either be physical stress
or emotional stress
various medications
scalp/dermatological issues and heredity.

Any time sudden hair loss is experienced
one must consider events which took place up to three months prior to the hair loss
as factors affecting hair loss can often take up to three months to have an effect
i.e.
were you diagnosed with something new in the past few months? Did you start taking medication during the past few months? Did you go through a traumatic experience. Subsequently
any treatments for hair loss should be given at least three months to have noticeable effects.

There are of course various ways to solve hair problems
such as:

1. Wig / toupe
2. Hair-weaving (weaving in extra hair)
3. Hair transplant
4. Cosmetic hair treatment courses
5. Therapy

There are only a few products available worldwide which have been conclusively proven to combat hair loss. They are Aminexil
Alopesan 400
Maxil่ne
Minoxidil and Finasteride. It’s very important for you as a consumer to know this if you are thinking of taking steps to combat your hair loss. Rogaine is another one of the more popular brand names in the hair loss industry.

The hair loss on account of any specific reason like medication
abnormal hormone levels or infection of scalp can be treated. The most troublesome and the most common forms of baldness is the common male/female baldness in which the hair recedes along the temples and the forehead in case of men and recedes in density all over in case of women. Such baldness is usually genetic. Genetic baldness is usually caused by an enzyme alpha reductase that converts testosterone to dehydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT leads to shrinking of hair follicles. This results in generation of thinner and weaker strands of hair that fall off very quickly.
The special herbal hair care product Renew contains a group of herbs that provide overall scalp and hair root nutrition and also help in the control of dandruff. The special herbs in Renew help in stopping hair follicle shrinkage. Regular use leads to reversal of shrinkage and hair gain. Renew is helpful in all kinds of hair loss situations.
Renew is available in the form a hair oil that has to be applied locally. Local application means that unlike when systemic hair loss medicines like Fenasteride and dutasteride
hair growth does not happen in undesirable areas like the back or the bums.
Massaging of hair and scalp with Renew provides additional nutrition to the scalp and prevents hair loss. Massaging also increases the blood circulation in the scalp and this keeps the hair roots strong.
Part your hair and apply Renew all over the scalp
massage the scalp gently with fingers in a circular motion so that the oil gets absorbed into the scalp. Leave for an hour and then wash with mild shampoo if required. Alternatively you could apply Renew to your hair and scalp before going to sleep and then wash your hair in the morning.
Renew has no known side effects.
