Hair today Gone Tommorrow

Balding is not something anyone would look forward to. Even though we are unable to stop aging we can help ourselves when it comes to hair loss.

Our hair does get thinner as we age and more for some than others but with today's medications and creams etc we may be able to slow this down.

I have looked into many hair loss remedies and have found some that are better than others in how they say the can slow down hair loss and some even say they will help your existing hair grow more and stronger. I do not know about that but have heard of some of the good some of them do.

The Importance Of Hair In The Female World You Should Know

By John Farikani

The story of a women's hair details the evolution of that women. Hair defines who you are and helps to display a women's beauty to the world. Hair loss in women its causes, although more complex than its male counterpart, is a common occurrence. However, as women are more defined by their outer beauty, including their hair, they often struggle with the issue of hair loss. There are many reasons for female hair loss and a handful of those reasons are quite common.

One documented medical condition known to cause hair loss involves the thyroid. The thyroid helps to control one's metabolism. When the thyroid is not functioning properly it manifests itself through a variety of physical symptoms. Some of the symptoms of an under active thyroid include obesity, listlessness, constant fatigue, depression, anxiety and hair loss. Hair loss is one of the most common symptoms indicating a problem with the thyroid.

Another condition that creates hair loss in women is stress. Stress has been medically documented to create many physical ailments. Women are from Venus and men are from Mars. Women and men deal with stress in entirely different ways. Women shoulder their burdens, internalizing stress, instead of finding appropriate outlets to release it. The buildup of stress wreaks havoc on the body and causes sleep deprivation, poor nutrition, and fluctuation in weight. The most common of all stress related disorders is hair loss.

A person's genealogy also is a factor in whether or not one will experience hair loss. Your family tree plays a large role in your physical makeup. Balding often runs in families and it is safe assume if one has a large group of family members that have experienced hair loss that you will too. Women with a pattern of hair loss in family members will most likely experience hair loss as well.

Hair care is also an important factor in maintaining healthy hair. Grooming and caring for the hair properly prevents hair loss. Hair care products that have harmful chemicals in them are a direct cause of hair loss. In order for women to avoid hair loss they should practice proper hygiene when caring for the hair and avoid the overuse of chemical products.

Hormonal changes in a women's body can also cause hair loss. Low levels of estrogen causes a decrease if the production of testosterone. Menopause is a direct result of the decline in the amount of estrogen and testosterone in the female body. A shortage of testosterone causes a reduction in hair growth which results in female hair loss.

The conditions discussed above shed light on some of the symptoms and conditions that cause women to lose their hair and how it affects them not only physically but emotionally.
