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.

Women's Hair Loss - What Are The Reasons For It?

By Eric Huff


Hair loss in men as well as baldness related products are seemingly everywhere; television commercials, magazine ads, and you name it. Did you ever see that one in which the "solution" was to actually spray a cover-up to make the hair look thicker? Certainly seems that most, if not all, of the media coverage addresses hair loss problems for men. The fact about women's hair loss is they do suffer from it and experience the same, if not more, emotional trauma. The shocking fact is that hair loss in women happens with greater frequency, and there's a wider variety of causal factors for it. Keep reading to discover a couple of reasons for this problem women have.

Quite a few conditions can impair a woman's normal hair growth cycle, and the thyroid is one such area that can cause problems. The thyroid is a powerful influence in women, and quite a few things can go wrong with it that will adversely affect a woman. Hashimoto's disease and cancer are just several widely known diseases of the thryoid. The important point about hair loss in women is that it's often one of the symptoms of "possible" thyroid disorder. You should consult with your family doctor is you experience rapid hair loss for no apparent reason.

Many women may already know that the time during pregnancy can often have a noticeable impact on their hair. The effect is that some experience rapid hair growth, but for other women the opposite happens. What happens after childbirth is that for the women who grew more hair, and faster, all that hair will fall out, or shed, at the same fast rate.

There can sometimes be a chronic condition that will produce the sympton of hair loss. It isn't so much the medical condition, itself, as it is due to the medication that is being taken for the condition. Other times one of the symptoms is hair loss, and the doctor takes that into account when making a diagnosis. As is often the case with a chronic condition, it will be a permanent state. Then it becomes a situation of quality of life and effectively managing the illness. Also, many times the medication must be taken, there is no substitute, and the hair loss cannot be avoided. Your physician is your best bet when it comes to options for dealing with the hair loss.

One of the most often cited reasons for hair loss is menopause. There are numerous changes that occur when menopause hits, and hair loss is among them. It is the post-menopausal period that seems to be the time when the majority of women experience so much hair shedding. The main reason for this phenomenon is due to a drop in estrogen levels and the effect is has on other chemicals. Unlike other types of hormone imbalances, however, in this case the hair loss cannot be brought back through hormone replacement therapy alone. Talk with your doctor about the other options that are available to you.

Women's hair loss does not get as much press as men's hair loss. It's hard to say why this is so. However it is probably true that women are much more embarrassed about this and may not seek help with it. Hopefully this will change. Research, time, and public awareness will hopefully shed more light on this area.
