When you talk about genetic hair loss most people think about the most common form of hair loss: male-pattern baldness. This is the type of hair loss that is passed on genetically to offspring from their mothers. Most often the recipients of this type of hair loss are men, but sometimes the gene can result in female hair loss.
While
genetic baldness in men is identified by a receding hairline or balding crown,
genetic hair loss in women is a bit different. In most cases, a woman will not
lose her hair in spots only but will thin out evenly throughout the head.
Sometimes, this thinning can be quite severe and result in the woman having to
wear a wig to cover up her thinning tresses. While female hair loss almost never results in a
completely bald head, it can be extreme enough to expose the scalp quite
plainly.
For
the woman facing this type of hair loss,
there are a few hair loss treatment
options that can be explored. They include shampoos, conditioners, and topical
treatments, such as Rogaine for women, which stimulate hair growth and prevent
further hair loss; vitamin
supplements; and stimulatory treatments such as massage and infra-red therapy.
The most successful of these hair loss
treatments are the topical treatments. While they are quite expensive, they
produce the best results.
Hair
loss due to chemical processes
No
matter how healthy and strong your hair is today, you could experience severe hair loss after undergoing a harsh
chemical process such as a perm or color. While almost all chemical hair
fallout is due to operator error, the chance of it occurring is multiplied by
chemical services that you perform on your hair at home. I’ve seen more than
one case of female hair loss in clients who have bleached their hair at home,
colored it over, and then came to the salon for yet another bleaching. Not
knowing this past history, the stylist used too strong a chemical, and the
process resulted in hair loss.
Since
most of these cases do not result in complete hair loss, the hair loss treatment
options include protein treatments and other conditioning treatments to strengthen
the remaining hair; a good hair cut that will remove most of the damage, and a gentle hair-care routine that will minimize further hair loss due to breakage.
You should also refrain from using thermal styling tools and undergoing any
further chemical procedures until the hair is completely grown out.
Hair loss due to stress
Cases
of severe stress can literally cause handfuls of hair loss at a time. Women experiencing
stressful conditions can experience female hair loss represented by thinning
all over the head or in spots called alopecia areata. Alopecia areata means
“Hair loss in spots or areas,” and can result in bald circular patches on one
or more spots of the scalp. While this type of hair loss is alarming, it is not
permanent. After the stress is removed, most sufferers of this type of hair loss regrow all of the hair that
they lost.
In most cases, the hair loss treatment
for stress-related hair loss is
minimal. After ruling out other causes of hair loss, your doctor will likely
recommend changes in your diet or ideas to help alleviate your stress. Keep in
mind that it can take months for your hair to grow back even after the
stressors have been eliminated.
Hair loss due to illness
Any type of extended illness or surgery can result in hair loss. Medications taken to combat certain types of illnesses can also cause your hair to become brittle and break or fall out altogether. The most identifiable type of hair loss is the loss associated with chemotherapy treatments. In most cases, this hair loss is complete and affects all areas of the body.
While there is little that can be done to prevent this type of hair loss or promote growth during illness, surgery or chemotherapy treatments, this type of female hair loss is also temporary. In most cases, full recovery of hair is made after the illness is over.
You can promote hair growth after the illness by getting regular trims and using growth-enhancing shampoos and conditioners. Vitamin supplements may also be beneficial.
As
you may have already guessed, hair loss in women is more common than we might
think. And many may be experiencing hair
loss and dismiss it as a natural occurrence that comes along with age. A
lot of these women fail to seek the necessary hair loss treatment that can help
them keep their remaining hair and regrow new hair. So, if you are experiencing
hair loss, do not think that it is
just because you are getting older. There may be something that you can do to
keep the hair on your head from clogging your drain
The following are the uses of herbs for hair growth:
The first positive thing about using herbs for hair growth is that there are no side effects associated with them like the drugs that are available in the market. If you have Lifeless hair, it can be made better with massage with good herbal oil.
(1) Applying henna to hair deep conditions it. Henna is a very traditional and widely used treatment for hair growth. This herb is available in the tropics. Henna is also used as a natural dye. Henna is mixed with other herbs like gooseberry, coffee, and lemon juice. This mixture is a very good cure for hair fall.
(2) Massage your hair with warm oil. Take a fresh green coconut and massage some warm coconut milk into the hair. Keep this on for an hour and a half. This will make the hair soft and healthy.
(3) Use Aloe Vera gel on the hair once a week and wash your hair.
(4) Hair loss is usually due to an infection that harms the follicle. You can get rid of this infection by the use of the water on the hair with Neem leaves that have been boiled for 5 minutes. Neem is considered as a natural disinfectant and doesn’t damage the hair shaft. It is also known to cure dandruff, which is also one of the reasons for hair loss.
(5) Honey mixed with warm oil and a teaspoonful of cinnamon powder has to be rubbed into the scalp. This should be left on the scalp for around 15 minutes. This helps in hair growth and helps in keeping the hair soft and shiny.
(6) Crushed olive leaves mixed with vinegar should be applied to the hair. This is a great remedy for hair loss.
(7) A paste made of honey and egg yolk is also used for hair growth. To counter the smell caused by egg can be countered by rinsing the hair with lemon juice
(8)Doctors recommend diets rich in nutrients that boost the growth of hair. If your want to stop hair loss you should include lots of ‘Vitamin A’ rich diet. Eat green leafy vegetables like spinach, milk, sprouted beans, and salads. Increase the intake of a Protein-rich diet and you will naturally have healthy hairs which promote hair growth.
Good hair adds beauty to your personality and it is only a healthy body that can be capped with beautiful hair. Eating a nutritious diet and protein-rich diets that are healthy to your health will add stars to your Crowning glory.
