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.

Why Are My Eyelashes Falling Out?

By Kate Minogue

Just like the rest of the hair on your body, your eyelashes will fall out from time to time. This is perfectly normal. The medical term for this is medarosis from the Greek word "madaros" which means bald.

However, if your eyelashes are falling off in great numbers, there may be a medical issue that needs to be fixed. Lash loss can be caused by infections, hormonal imbalances, and irritation.

A common cause of irritation is harshly removing your eye makeup. If you rub too hard, you can accidently pull out your lashes fromt he root. Use a stronger eye makeup remover or switch to water based mascaras which don't require chemicals and rubbing to get off. Also be gentler when you curl your lashes as the curler can tug and cause your eyelashes to fall out.

Infections such as chlamydia, parasites, and herpes can also make your lashes fall off. These are serious conditions that should be looked after by a physician.

Endocrine disorders can change the balance of hormones in your body. Since hormones are the master signals that change growth, your eyelashes may be growing back thinner, more brittle, and less healthy. The rest of your hair, not just your eyelashes may become dull, brittle, coarse and start falling off in large clumps.

If you're losing hair all over your body, you may have an autoimmune disorder. Madarosis can occur with alopecia as your body turns on itself and starts attacking its own cells.

Not to fear though, as long as the hair follicles are not damaged, you can stimulate and regrow your eyelashes. Try using eyelash stimulators and growth products. These products help your lashes regrow naturally to their maximum potential.

Eyelash growth serums like LiLash grow the appearance of long, thick, and shiny lashes naturally. LiLash is clinically tested to coat and treat your lashes to give you results in just a few weeks.

LiLash has other uses besides being an eyelash stimulator. It also acts as a lash conditioner to protect the lashes that you still have. LiLash will keep your lashes from breaking off so even if you wear extensions or fake lashes, they'll look fuller, healthier, and longer.
