I'm 30 yrs old and my hair is thinning and is very brittle. Could this be a hormonal imbalance? Which doctor should I consult?Hair Loss in Women?
Take care not to use Shampoos which contain Sodium Laureth Sulfate or simply SLS. This substance is found in most shampoos and the manufactures use it because it produces a lot of foam and it is cheap. But the fact is that SLS is used to scrub garage floors, and it is very strong. It is also proven that it can cause cancer in the long run, and this is no joke. Some of them which do not use SLS are (Vidal Sassoon), it doesn't contain it; however, others such as Vo5, Palmolive, Paul Mitchell, the new Hemp shampoo, Pantene Pro-V, etc., contains this substance.
You can treat your hair the Natural Way.
Falling of Hair: Loss of hair at a very tender age has become a common disorder these days. It causes a great deal of concern to persons affected by loss of hair, especially Indian women who regard good hair growth with thick long hair as a sign of beauty. Hair is formed in minute pockets in the skin, called follicles. An up growth at the base of the folic, called the papilla, actually produces hair; when a special group of cells turn amino acids into keratin, a type of protein of which hair is made. The rate of production of these proteins '; building blocks,'; determines hair growth. The average growth rate is about 1.2 cm per month, growing faster on women between the ages 15 and 30.
Causes: The most important cause of loss of hair is inadequate nutrition. Even a partial lack of almost any nutrient may cause hair to fall. Persons lacking vitamin B6 lose their hair and those deficient in folic acid often become completely bald. But the hair grows normally after the liberal intake of these vitamins. Another important cause of falling of hair is stress such as worry, anxiety, and sudden shock. Stress leads to a severe tension in the skin of the scalp. This adversely affects the supply of essential nutrition required for the healthy growth of the hair. General debility, syphilis, chronic cold, influenza, and anemia, also gives rise to this disorder. It makes the roots of the hair weak, resulting in the falling of hair. Unclean condition of the scalp can also cause loss of hair. It weakens the hair roots by blocking the pores with the collected dirt. Heredity is another predisposing factor which may cause hair to fall.
Treatment: The healthy condition of the hair depends, to a very large extent, on the intake of sufficient amounts of essential nutrients in the daily diet. Hair is made of protein and adequate protein is necessary for luxuriant hair. Women require 60 grams, men 80 to 90, adolescent boys and girls 80 to 100 grams of protein. It is supplied by milk, buttermilk, yogurt, soyabean, eggs, cheese, meat, and fish. A lack of vitamin A may cause the hair to be coarse and ugly. A deficiency of some of the B vitamins, of iron, copper, and iodine may cause hair disorders like falling of hair and premature greying.
Lack of inositol causes loss of hair. Any person having trouble with his or her hair should eat foods rich in inositol such as yeast, liver and molasses. Research has, however, shown that women have a low requirement of inositol. Although this vitamin may help to stimulate the growth of a woman鈥檚 hair, its lack is probably not a major cause of slow growth. Women are generally deficient in iodine and vitamin B1, either of which can slow down circulation to the scalp to such an extent that hair may fall out and new hair grow in very slowly. Women who keep their diets adequate in iodine, the B vitamins and iron have a better growth of hair. According to Adelle Davis, a world famous nutritionist, ';increasing the intake of protein, particularly of liver, wheat germ, and yeast, and supplementing the diet with a teaspoon of inositol daily usually stops a man鈥檚 hair from falling, and I have seen three or four persons whose hair became thick after these improvements were made.'; Persons with a tendency to lose hair should thus take a well-balanced and correct diet, made up of foods which in combination should supply all the essential nutrients. It has been found that a diet which contains liberal quantities of (i) seeds, nuts, and grains, (ii) vegetables and (iii) fruits would provide adequate amounts of all the essential nutrients. Each food group should roughly form the bulk of one of the three principal meals. These foods should, however, be supplemented with certain special foods such as milk, vegetable oils, honey, wheat germ, yeast, and liver.
Home Remedies: Several home remedies have been found useful in the prevention and treatment of the loss of the hair. The most effective among these remedies is a vigorous rubbing of the scalp with fingers after washing the hair with cold water. The scalp should be rubbed vigorously till it starts to tingle with the heat. It will activate the sebaceous glands and energies the circulation of blood in the affected area, making the hair grow healthy.
Amla oil, prepared by boiling dry pieces of amla in coconut oil, is considered a valuable hair tonic for enriching hair growth. A mixture of equal quantity of fresh amla juice and lime juice used as a shampoo stimulates hair growth and prevents hair loss.
Lettuce (salad-ka-patta) is useful in preventing hair loss through deficiencies. A mixture of lettuce and spinach juice is said to help the growth of hair if it is drunk to the extent of half a litre a day. The juice of alfalfa (lecerne) in combination with carrot and lettuce juice, taken daily also helps the growth of hair to a remarkable extent. The combination of these juices is rich in elements which are particularly useful for the growth of hair. While preparing alfalfa juice, the leaves of the plant only may be used when it can be obtained fresh.
Daily application of refined coconut oil mixed with limewater and lime juice on the hair, prevents loss of hair and lengthens them. Application of the juice of green coriander leaves on the head is also considered beneficial. Amaranth, known as chaulai-ka-saag in the vernacular, is another valuable remedy. Application of its fresh leaf-juice helps the growth of the hair and keeps them soft.
Mustard oil, boiled with henna leaves, is useful in healthy growth of hair. About 250 grams of mustard oil should be boiled in tinned basin. A little quantity of henna leaves should be gradually put in this oil till about 60 grams of these leaves are thus burnt in the oil. The oil should then be filtered through a cloth and stored well in a bottle. A regular massage of the head with this oil will produce abundant hair.
Another effective home remedy for loss of hair is the application of coconut milk all over the scalp and massaging it into the hair loss. It will nourish the hair and promote hair growth. The coconut milk is prepared by grinding the coconut shavings and squeezing it well. Washing the hair with a paste of cooked black gram dal, (urad dal), and fenugreek (methi) lengthens the hair. A fine paste made from pigeon pea or red gram (arhar dal ) can also be applied regularly with beneficial results on bald patches. Regular use of castor oil as hair oil helps the luxuriant growth of the hair.
Certain home remedies have also been found useful in case of patchy loss of hair. The seeds of lime and black pepper seeds, ground to get a fine paste, is one of the valuable remedies. This paste applied on the patches, has mildly irritant action. This increases blood circulation in the affected area and stimulates hair growth. The paste should be applied twice a day for a few weeks.
Another useful remedy for patchy loss of hair is the paste of liquorice (mulethi) made by grinding the pieces in milk with a pinch of saffron. This paste should be applied over the bald patches in the night before going to bed.
Hope this helps you grow your hair well.Hair Loss in Women?
are you taking meds,this can cause it,or not eating properly
goodluck
It could be due to several factors. Hormones, stress, diet, genetics.
Have a chat with your GP first, who can refer you to other professionals should you require further treatment.
Thin hair is a sign for hair loss. You should stop this hair loss process as soon as possible before its too late. use a hair loss stopper like provillus. Yes it is possible that it can be a hormonal imbalance.
If you eat too much vitamin A it can cause hair loss, try cutting out foods with that vitamin. Otherwise, talk to your GP.
I'm 42 and when I was 29 I was diagnosed with
a thyroid disease.
The symptoms were as follows: dry brittle hair that got very thin, weight gain,
extreme fatigue and I was always cold (to the point of sleeping in my car with the windows rolled up in 100 degree weather).
I feel much better most of the time now although I still have some days of fatigue but the meds made a world of difference.
ps: my regular HMO Dr. did the tests needed to find out about my thyroid.
It could be nothing or it could be something that needs treatment. You should see your family doctor. If it's not something obvious you will get a referral to a specialist.
I wonder if any doctor on earth can provide a real cure for the problem you have mentioned which is a common phenomenon!
alopecia, go to a skin doctor.
Severe hair problems may cause anguish.Badly damaged hair breaks at the scalp. Here a few simple home remedies which can be tried at home to control hair fall. To treat hair loss apply a little lemon juice with some black tea. Massage well and shampoo.Rub oil into the scalp. Wring out a towel in hot water and wrap it on the head. Keep it on for 15 minutes. Shampoo and dry well. Check out http://usefulinfo-hairloss.blogspot.com/ for more info.

Hair loss in women I need help! Please?
Hi,
I'm 24 and I've always had a thin widows peak type of thing with my hair line and just recently I've noticed that it's getting worse. It's scaring me! Now, I'm on birth control, but for a good couple of months I haven't been taking it consistently, could this cause hair thinning?
Also I've gone Pescatarian and I don't know if maybe that could be making my hair thin due to not enough vitamins?
And lastly, I've always been a stressed out person, but for the last couple of months I've been a little extra stressed.
Could all of these be possibilities of my hair loss? And if so and if you have experienced any of this... Did it grow back for you? Or do you think it would? I'm thinking about buying Rogaine for Women.
Any feed back would help,
Thank you!Hair loss in women I need help! Please?

Hair loss in women...bald spots....?
I'm 19 years old and started losing my hair about a year ago. I can't afford to go see a doctor, and I'm not sure what is causing my hair to fall out. I have a handful of hair fall out in the shower plus more throughout the day. I probably have about 4 or more bald spots(penny to quarter size). I just had a baby 3 months ago, I was balding before that, and it was worse when I was pregnant, but I am still losing hair and finding new bald spots every time I turn around.
What I'm asking is what do you think could be the cause? And if you recomend any kind of shampoo or vitamins or anything to help my hair grow back. I used to have the thickest long hair, I loved it and am very depressed with having to wear my hair in a certain way all the time. I just want my hair back, any help would be greatly appreciated! Thankyou so much.
I'm not on birth control, and I do have eczama and asthma. I smoke, have been smoking since I was 15. Not under any paticular stress...Hair loss in women...bald spots....?
A hormone imbalance could be causing this but the only way to find out for sure is to see a doctor for further evaluation. Because of your financial situation I would recommend checking with the city health dept to see if they offer a free clinic that might be able to help. If not, check to see if there's a Medical School close by that might be able to help.

Hair loss in women? Help!!!?
I dont know if it is my imagination or not but there is a little , very tiny spot kind of on the front of my head. I had my parents check it and they said that it looks fine, my dad said that he sees no hair shaft in the little spot, he thinks that maybe its just the way my hair grows. And my mom was washing my hair yesterday and would have noticed something. I was the one that noticed this spot today and was wondering if it was ringworm, but the spot is very tiny that people cant even notice it. My parents think it looks normal, but I have never noticed the spot before, My mom says if anythiing, it could be a minor case of ringworm which is easily treatable, or a hormonal imbalance, which can be easily fixed by birth control pills, they think I am overreacting. I dont know what it could be, since when I put my hand through my hair no hair falls off, and I dont find nor comb out gobs of hair clumps, so no hair is falling out, but its this one little tiny spot that is bugging me, I have another tiny spot like that in the front of my head with no hair shafts that has always been on my head since I was born, but this new one i have never noticed, could I be overracting? Or not have seen it before? Help!Hair loss in women? Help!!!?

Hair Loss in women?

stress, no a proper diet. I have chemo pateints on this: it helps theri hair to stop breaking. watch the video
I think you should check out www.biolustreflorida.com
I just went to their launch party and had my hair done, free as a demo. Its amazing, my hair was breaking off and flying away. I will always always buy this stuff. Its awesome, I saw a difference as soon as she rinsed my hair. I have no damage anymore, its unbelievable! No more split-ends, its like my hair is NEW! I love it!

Make sure you watch their video on the site, its amazing. Lady changes her hair color 3 itmes in 30 minutes with NO DAMAGEHair Loss in women?
Genetics, diet (lack of certain vitamins and minerals), environmental factors and in some sources it's even gone so far as to say smoking and caffeine can effect it.
genetics, stress , poor diet it could be a number of things. do you colour your hair? if so try not to colour it for as long as you can (i no its hard but worth it) have trim every 6weeks and buy a good thicking shampoo. by the way hair is made of protein so its a good idear to get more high protein foods in your diet like eggs,meat,beans,nuts give it a try :)
genetics
well, I think it is because of your diet. Do not eat salty food or instant noodles. stress or did not sleep well will also cause your hair to drop. or even if you having scalp problem or oily scrap like dranduff. Try to use less oily shampoo. and only appy hair conditioner on the tips of the hair and not to the hair scalp since you should be having oily scalp. Try washing your hair everyday or alternate day. Do not leave it for more than 2 days and once the scalp oily, hair will drop easily. Do not use too hot water to wash your hair. The pore will open and more hair will drop. use warm water first and after shampoo use cold water to rinse to close the pores. Wish you good luck!
Stress can cause hair loss--and if you fast for long periods of time that can too.
well it could be genetics but it could also be over alot of different things like stress
For women main reason should be iron deficiency. Drink 10-12 glasses of water daily and have a high protein diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables and dairy products. Since iron-deficiency anemia can also cause hair loss,make sure that you eat a well-balanced diet that includes a daily serving or two of iron-rich foods. Check out

Things that help hair loss in women?
my hair has been thinning lately %26amp; i am starting to get worried (let me add that i just turned 29 so i dont think this should be happening yet or at all ) i am starting pregnent ladt vitamins cause i heard they help ...................any other suggestions PLEASE!!!!Things that help hair loss in women?
I went thru a $1600 hair regrowth program and this is what I found:
DHT is the hormone that causes hair loss
Minoxidil 2% for women, applied as directed DOES stop a lot of the hair loss, but it's very labor intensive to keep up with
Biotin is a natural vitamin that helps with hair (and nail) growth; try 2500 mcg or mg (don't know how it is marketed)
Natural 100% boar bristle brushes help alleviate breakage of hair
Turn to natural shampoos %26amp; conditioners; regular off-the-shelf shampoos and conditioners build up on the scalp %26amp; hair shaft and tend to ';suffocate'; the skin's ability to ';breathe';
The item that helped the most %26amp; is the easiest (other than washing %26amp; vitamins) to keep up with is using a low-reading/level laser comb. It's very expensive, but is attainable. The machine I ';rented'; for my hair treatment cost the owners $50k (so they claimed), but the laser comb can be purchased directly from the company or thru eBay. I purchased the Forest Spencer (Spencer Forest?) brand for $600. It truely does the trick. I am 48 yrs old, and have been doing this hair treatment since October 2002. Another by-product of the lasercomb is that the hair will become incredibly silky, your scalp will feel like you have had it massaged (very stimulated and ';alive'; feeling), and seems to have an increased moisture content in the shaft (doesn't feel dried out - but cool %26amp; smooth to the touch).
I believe it's never too soon to take care of health issues, so check into what I've offered in information. Good luck!

Go to your Doctor and ask about ';Propecia';.
Do not use hair color if you do. Vitamin B complex is helpful, Calcium is very important. Putting your hair in a ponytail will make it fall out. Watch out for prescription drugs and ask your Pharmacist
I was loosing a lot of hair and it turned out I had a low thyroid.
first of all don't automedicate.... causes.... stress... dryness.. hormones... go see a doc.

How to slow or reverse hair loss with a healthy diet and nutritional supplements
by Dani Veracity
Unless you were trying to make a fashion statement 鈥?think David Beckham or Sinead O'Connor 鈥?you probably wouldn't be too pleased with hair loss. In Western society, hair loss 鈥?especially male pattern hair loss 鈥?is fodder for jokes, unless the hair loss is a result of chemotherapy or other medical treatments. If you're suffering from situational baldness or male/female pattern baldness, you may laugh about it among your friends. Chances are, however, that you're crying about it in privacy. But by no means are you alone. Fortunately, there are many natural remedies to relieve hair loss and the personal embarrassment that results from it.
We can blame the typical American diet for yet another unfavorable thing: Hair loss. American's high-fat, high-animal protein and high-salt diet damages the kidneys and creates acidic blood, thereby leading to hair loss, according to Paul Pitchford's Healing with Whole Foods and Janet Zand's, Allan N. Spreen's and James B. LaValle's Smart Medicine for Healthier Living. The typical American diet is also usually low in vitamins. This lifestyle leads to vitamin deficiency, which is another cause of hair loss. And thanks to the globalization of fast food chains and the American diet, we're exporting hair loss overseas.
If your diet is relatively healthy, you may have to scrutinize other potential causes and use the process of elimination to determine the cause of your hair loss. For example, do you dye your hair or treat it with other chemicals? According to Bill Gottlieb's Alternative Cures, these treatments may be thinning your hair. Similarly, have you been experiencing a lot of stress in your life? Stress may literally be making you pull your hair out.
If you're a woman: Are you pregnant, menopausal or on birth control pills? These are three big factors in female hair loss. Hormone imbalance is arguably the most common cause of hair loss in females. Pregnancy, menopause and sometimes birth control pills can create hormone shifts, according to The Doctor's Book of Home Remedies for Women. In fact, according to Dr. Neal Barnard's Eat Right, Live Longer, ';Childbirth almost always causes some degree of temporary hair loss, sometimes occurring after a delay of a few months鈥?In other animals, this has a useful function; rabbits, for example, line their nests with shed hairs. Humans have less use for it.'; So unless you're intent on finding new ways to decorate your baby's room, you're just going to have to wait out the temporary hair loss. Excessive dieting also causes hormone shifts. Hair loss is thus one of the major symptoms of anorexia and bulimia.
Hair loss doesn't have to be controlled entirely by genetics
If your hair loss is caused by a controllable factor, such as using chemical hair dyes, then by all means, change your behavior. Take vitamin supplements, stop dying your hair, change your shampoo or choose a different method of birth control. On the other hand, hair loss could also be genetic. No, you can't alter your genes yet. But you can rely on natural medicines to help counteract an inherited hair loss trait. Vitamin E, Golden Maidenhair (found in a tea shampoo), red sage extracts (also found in some shampoos) and formulas that mix turmeric with horsetail or oat straw are all found to prevent or slow the process of hair loss. Additionally, eating a diet high in fruits and vegetables and low in starch may slow down the hair loss process, according to Arthur C. Upton in Staying Healthy in a Risky Environment.
The average human sheds between 50 and 100 hair strands every day. If you're shedding more than that, you don't have to accept it as a burden you must bear. A little lifestyle change goes a long way to stop hair loss. If your parents or grandparents exhibit hair loss, you're not doomed, but you do have an even greater need to watch your diet and use herbal remedies. If you do start losing your hair, however, handling it well can make all the difference between hair loss becoming a source of embarrassment or a fashion statement.

Another by-product of the lasercomb is that the hair will become incredibly silky, your scalp will feel like you have had it massaged (very stimulated and ';alive'; feeling), and seems to have an increased moisture content in the shaft (doesn't feel dried out - but cool %26amp; smooth to the touch).
I believe it's never too soon to take care of health issues, so check into what I've offered in information. Good luck!

How to slow or reverse hair loss with a healthy diet and nutritional supplements
by Dani Veracity
Unless you were trying to make a fashion statement 鈥?think David Beckham or Sinead O'Connor 鈥?you probably wouldn't be too pleased with hair loss. In Western society, hair loss 鈥?especially male pattern hair loss 鈥?is fodder for jokes, unless the hair loss is a result of chemotherapy or other medical treatments. If you're suffering from situational baldness or male/female pattern baldness, you may laugh about it among your friends. Chances are, however, that you're crying about it in privacy. But by no means are you alone. Fortunately, there are many natural remedies to relieve hair loss and the personal embarrassment that results from it.
We can blame the typical American diet for yet another unfavorable thing: Hair loss. American's high-fat, high-animal protein and high-salt diet damages the kidneys and creates acidic blood, thereby leading to hair loss, according to Paul Pitchford's Healing with Whole Foods and Janet Zand's, Allan N. Spreen's and James B. LaValle's Smart Medicine for Healthier Living. The typical American diet is also usually low in vitamins. This lifestyle leads to vitamin deficiency, which is another cause of hair loss. And thanks to the globalization of fast food chains and the American diet, we're exporting hair loss overseas.
If your diet is relatively healthy, you may have to scrutinize other potential causes and use the process of elimination to determine the cause of your hair loss. For example, do you dye your hair or treat it with other chemicals? According to Bill Gottlieb's Alternative Cures, these treatments may be thinning your hair. Similarly, have you been experiencing a lot of stress in your life? Stress may literally be making you pull your hair out.
If you're a woman: Are you pregnant, menopausal or on birth control pills? These are three big factors in female hair loss. Hormone imbalance is arguably the most common cause of hair loss in females. Pregnancy, menopause and sometimes birth control pills can create hormone shifts, according to The Doctor's Book of Home Remedies for Women. In fact, according to Dr. Neal Barnard's Eat Right, Live Longer, ';Childbirth almost always causes some degree of temporary hair loss, sometimes occurring after a delay of a few months鈥?In other animals, this has a useful function; rabbits, for example, line their nests with shed hairs. Humans have less use for it.'; So unless you're intent on finding new ways to decorate your baby's room, you're just going to have to wait out the temporary hair loss. Excessive dieting also causes hormone shifts. Hair loss is thus one of the major symptoms of anorexia and bulimia.
Hair loss doesn't have to be controlled entirely by genetics
If your hair loss is caused by a controllable factor, such as using chemical hair dyes, then by all means, change your behavior. Take vitamin supplements, stop dying your hair, change your shampoo or choose a different method of birth control. On the other hand, hair loss could also be genetic. No, you can't alter your genes yet. But you can rely on natural medicines to help counteract an inherited hair loss trait. Vitamin E, Golden Maidenhair (found in a tea shampoo), red sage extracts (also found in some shampoos) and formulas that mix turmeric with horsetail or oat straw are all found to prevent or slow the process of hair loss. Additionally, eating a diet high in fruits and vegetables and low in starch may slow down the hair loss process, according to Arthur C. Upton in Staying Healthy in a Risky Environment.
The average human sheds between 50 and 100 hair strands every day. If you're shedding more than that, you don't have to accept it as a burden you must bear. A little lifestyle change goes a long way to stop hair loss. If your parents or grandparents exhibit hair loss, you're not doomed, but you do have an even greater need to watch your diet and use herbal remedies. If you do start losing your hair, however, handling it well can make all the difference between hair loss becoming a source of embarrassment or a fashion statement.

You need to find out everything you can about Rogaine or some of the other medications out there and ask her to reconsider.
I do not recommend that you go against her wishes and use it. This is a discussion you need to have with her and a dermatologist.

Stress can be a major cause of hairloss in females and so you need to identify areas of stress in your life and sort them out.
A good diet and plenty of water to drink will help flush toxins out of your blood stream and aid the body to heal itself.
I would suggest going to your GP and getting some blood tests done as well. This will help to pinpoint anything that may be physically wrong.What causes hair loss in women. am scared i may develop a bald head. am slowing losing a bit of my hair.?

Hi Kaby
I'd suggest going to the following website:
www.regrowth.com
It's a great site and will give you very open, non-commercial information on the reasons for hair loss as well as the treatments available to you.
There is also a seperate site that is pretty good for online purchases of various products:
www.hair2go.com
One of my staff members is suffering from the same problem. As I also did.
Please feel free to drop me an email if you'd like any other detail. I'd be happy to help you wherever I can.
andyblank@yahoo.com
you may even just have a hormone imbalance go and have a blood test done and talk to your doc.
STRESS!!!
Have your Thyroid checked! That was one of the symptoms I had.
* Stress
* It might run in the family
it sounds like alopecia areata. it is a hair losing problem usually from stress. if you are losing almost quarter size on your head. go to a demotologist to make sure. there are remedys for this problem .
Lots of reasons but it could be stress related, diet, etc.. or if breast feeding your hair can receed like a man but will eventually grow back, if in doubt contact your G.P
Vitamin deficiences such as iron deficiency can cause hair loss, so get yourself checked out. Also stress can be a major factor, or if you have recently suffered from an illness this can cause hair loss. Try not to worry about it if you can but go %26amp; see your doctor %26amp; improve your diet straight away. Eat plenty of fresh fruit %26amp; vegetables, meat %26amp; oily fish - organic if possible. Try to avoid processed foods, excessive sugar %26amp; refined flour %26amp; other junk food whenever possible as they are not beneficial for health. I hope you manage to solve your problem.
female pattern hair loss may be due to menopause or iron deficiency. it could also be a genetic disposition (if other members of ur family have it). alopecia can also be an auto-immunological abnormality.
some illness like psoriasis also cause hair loss or excess treatment with bleach or hair colour.
u must just take some vitamins or use some protein-rich hair care.
topical vasodilators are also available on prescription.
are you stressed out you may have the start of alopecia its where u have hair loss due to stress,go to the dr they can prescribe something and hopefully wont get to bad....
There can be a no.of reasons for hair loss in women.
Eg. stress, hormonal imbalance, some disease.
It an also be just seasonal, for no reason at all and temporary/reversible.
U need to monitor it for a few days. Normal hair loss in healthy ppl is 100/day. so maybe its normal afterall. Hair keeps growing and compensates for the normal daily hair loss. It may seem a lot to u but might be normal.
U need to look into this and if really feel the need, see a good dermatologist.
Good luck!

Hair loss can be due to anxiety, temporary illness or use of harm full hair products. if you haven't under gone any of these things you should go to a doctor and get your body checked, it could be symptoms of something else.
There are several factors that our hair could lose. Like thyroid and stress this will lead to a poor blood circulation. If your scalp is tight your pores is closed so the hair cannot breath and that cause your hair to fall out.
I would go to the doctors and let them know, because most hair loss in women is caused by stress, however as someone has mentioned it could be down to your thyroid.
Dont put it off go see a doc, so you can get it sorted as soon as, so you dont have to worry more about bald patches beacue the more you stress out about going bald the higher your stress levels will be, so its a viscious cycle.

Hair loss in women?
I am a 36 year old female and I have noticed around my hair line that the hair has broken and it's only about an inch long. I am relieved that there is re-growth but am wondering why this has happened? I have been using a straightening iron - could that have broken the hair or could this be a more serious underlying problem? Does anyone know?Hair loss in women?
it is hard to guess without seeing your hair...but do you wear a style that stresses that area of your hair?
Are you noticing breakage any place else...braided styles often times put stress on that area of the hair....since your hair is growing back, it is unlikely that it is a medical condition...
also check out any medications that you are using some of them have hair loss as one of the side effects
Best of luckHair loss in women?
Straightening irons are very hard on the hair. The heat can be very damaging. You might want to consider picking up some vitamins to help promote healthy hair growth. There is a hair, skin and nail formula you can get from GNC. Make sure you eat enough protein and get your B vitamins.
If you have had any extreme weight loss that can cause hair loss as can certain medications...
Loss or absence of hair, also known as alopecia is a hereditary and unavoidable condition. In some men it can be a side effect of medication, a dietary deficiency or hormonal imbalance.
You can help reduce the effects of hair loss from stress, trauma, shock or illness by increasing your intake of vitamin C found in fresh fruits and vegetables, particularly citrus fruit and juices, parsley, broccoli, green peppers and black currants.
Take a vitamin B complex everyday or brewers yeast. Increase your intake of protein found in meat, fish, liver, wheat germ, dried cooked beans and peas, tofu, cheese, milk and eggs.

I HAVE THINNING HAIR ON THE TOP/FRONT OF MY SCALP. I AM 30 YRS OLD AND I HAVE BEEN DEPRESSED SINCE MY MOM DIED.What causes hair loss in women? s?
First of all I want to say I am very sorry to hear that your mom died. It is always hard on you mentally and physically to lose a loved one. Stress is one of the number one triggers for hair loss. Chemical imbalances can also cause it. Certain medications could also be the culprit. I would recommend seeing your family practitioner or a grief counselor. This sounds strange but take calcium pills. It's good for your body and helps with mood swings. Also if you go to your local health food store and ask them for natural ways to take care of it. Taking controlled substances could have adverse effects and make your problem worse. I wish you the best of luck and hang in there. It's hard and you never stop missing the person you lost but as someone who's been through it I can say that it does eventually start to hurt less. You go on and life does get better. It just takes patience and a strong heart. I'm sure you have both. Good luck to you again.What causes hair loss in women? s?
The most common cause of hair loss is genetics-you inherit the tendency to lose hair from either or both of your parents. This is called male-pattern hair loss or female-pattern hair loss. The medical term for this type of hair loss is androgenetic alopecia.
In this type of hair loss, your genes affect how your hair grows. They trigger a sensitivity to a class of hormones called androgens, including testosterone, which causes hair follicles (which hair grows from) to shrink. Shrinking follicles produce thinner hair and eventually none at all.
Common causes of hair loss include:
Ringworm of the scalp (tinea capitis), which is common in children.
Mental stress or physical stress, such as recent surgery, illness, or high fever. You may have a lot of hair loss 4 weeks to 3 months after severe physical or emotional stress. Your hair usually will grow back within a few months.
Hair care. Pulling your hair back too tightly or wearing tight braids or ponytails can cause hair loss. You may lose hair around the edge of the hairline, especially around the face and forehead. Using curling irons or dyes continually can also result in hair loss. Hair usually grows back when these activities are stopped.
Age. As you age, your hairs tend to break more easily, and hair follicles do not grow as much hair.
Poor nutrition, especially lack of protein or iron in the diet. Hair returns after you change your diet to get enough of these nutrients.
Thyroid diseases including hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.
Other causes of hair loss include:
Alopecia areata, an autoimmune disease in which your immune system attacks hair follicles, resulting in obvious, round hairless patches on any area of the scalp or body. Severe cases involve many bald patches of hair or complete loss of hair on the scalp or body, although in some cases there is hair thinning without distinct patches of baldness. Hair usually grows back within 1 year without treatment; however, 10% of people with the condition may never regrow their hair.2
Diseases, such as lupus, syphilis, or cancer. Hair may grow back on its own, although you may also need treatment.
Side effects of medications or medical treatments, such as blood thinners (anticoagulants) or chemotherapy. Hair usually grows back after you stop using the medication or when the treatment is over.
Trichotillomania, a compulsive behavior in which a person pulls hair out of the scalp, eyelashes, or eyebrows. There is usually mounting tension before pulling and a feeling of relief afterward. Trichotillomania often results in noticeable hair loss.
Injury to the scalp including scarring. Injuries can damage hair follicles and cause hair loss.
Changes in hormone levels. Childbirth, taking birth control pills, or changes in a woman's menstrual cycle can affect the hair growth cycle and cause hair loss. Hair usually will grow back.
There are many thing that can cause hair loss in women,from bad nutrition habits and stress,to weak damaged hair and poor blood circulation.
There are some things you can do to make your hair grow faster though,everybody has a maximum rate of hair growth,if your body is not in good health,your hair will only grow at the minimum rate,here are the necessary steps:
1.Don't wash your hair everyday,washing your hair everyday puts unnecessary stress on the hair,the more you wash,the more your hair dries out and breaks,wash your hair twice a week with an emu oil moisturizing shampoo %26amp; conditioner.It is very important that you find an emu oil shampoo %26amp; conditioner because emu oil gets rid of scalp inflamation, scalp inflamation denies the hair follicles the necessary blood flow it needs in order to grow fast.
2.Keep an oil moisturizer in your hair,it's very important to keep some kind of oil in your hair because wind and dust in the air will make your hair dry and brittle and easier to break,my favorite oil moisturizer is Cantu Shea Butter oil moisturizer,it is kinda greasy,but you can put more or less depending on how you style your hair on that day,find an oil moisturizer that works for you.
3.Take care of your hair from the inside,take a multi-vitamin with minerals and amino acids/proteins daily,there are plenty of great vitamins out there,you just have to find what works for you,have a look at these:
http://www.salonweb.com/hair_vitamins.ht鈥?/a>
4.Don't brush your brush hair,brushing rips and tears at the hair folicle,use a comb with wide teeth instead,and wear your hair up whenever possible,your clothing,especially cotton clothing can cause splits ends.Every time you wear your hair down, you are exposing it to environmental damage. It is exposed to the air, which will dry it out. Wind will cause tangles, which in turn causes more handling and more damage. Your hair will rub against your clothes which dries it out even further.
5.Massage your scalp,this will increase blood flow to the hair folicles,I love to hang off of the sofa or my bed and massage my oil moisturizer into my scalp.Sleep on a satin pillowcase to prevent damage from tossing and turning,If you have fine, thin hair, stay away from volumizing and thickening shampoos,they dry out your hair,stay away from hair accessories with metal in them,that will definitely rip and tear your hair,keep heat styling to at a minimum,no more than twice a week,if you must do this more than twice a week,find a good deep conditioning treatment,like this one:
http://www.ariva.com/jokinhy85oz.html
And drink lots of water!
It could very well be the stress of your mothers death causing the hair loss,there is little you do to keep from being depressed when there is a death in the family,but just try to find a nice hobby,watch some new movies or pet an animal,things that can really make your heart rate and blood pressure drop and relax you.My heart goes out to you.
Hair loss is caused by many reasons such as malnutrition, illness, tension and other health problems.It is normal to shed some hair each day as part of a cycle of growing new hairs and loosing some.However,some people may experience excessive hair loss which might cause baldness.Hair loss of this type can affect men, women and children. Other reasons for hair loss in men and women are;stress, infection, surgery, high fever,diets,over brushing,syphilis,and tumors.Severe hair problems may cause anguish. An increase in the numbers of hairs lost daily about 200 hairs a day will be noticeable to the person who may become desperately anxious that he or she is going to become bald.
Perming, straightening, hair dyeing and bleaching ,hot combing, using heated rollers and hot wax inevitably damage the hair.Badly damaged hair breaks at the scalp.Once split ends have appeared, it is a good idea to trim off the straggly ends to give a healthy appearance to the hair.

5.Massage your scalp,this will increase blood flow to the hair folicles,I love to hang off of the sofa or my bed and massage my oil moisturizer into my scalp.Sleep on a satin pillowcase to prevent damage from tossing and turning,If you have fine, thin hair, stay away from volumizing and thickening shampoos,they dry out your hair,stay away from hair accessories with metal in them,that will definitely rip and tear your hair,keep heat styling to at a minimum,no more than twice a week,if you must do this more than twice a week,find a good deep conditioning treatment,like this one:

And drink lots of water!
It could very well be the stress of your mothers death causing the hair loss,there is little you do to keep from being depressed when there is a death in the family,but just try to find a nice hobby,watch some new movies or pet an animal,things that can really make your heart rate and blood pressure drop and relax you.My heart goes out to you.
Hair loss is caused by many reasons such as malnutrition, illness, tension and other health problems.It is normal to shed some hair each day as part of a cycle of growing new hairs and loosing some.However,some people may experience excessive hair loss which might cause baldness.Hair loss of this type can affect men, women and children. Other reasons for hair loss in men and women are;stress, infection, surgery, high fever,diets,over brushing,syphilis,and tumors.Severe hair problems may cause anguish. An increase in the numbers of hairs lost daily about 200 hairs a day will be noticeable to the person who may become desperately anxious that he or she is going to become bald.
Perming, straightening, hair dyeing and bleaching ,hot combing, using heated rollers and hot wax inevitably damage the hair.Badly damaged hair breaks at the scalp.Once split ends have appeared, it is a good idea to trim off the straggly ends to give a healthy appearance to the hair.

Keratin is produced by Biotin and hair follicles are kept healthy by inositol. Panthothenic acid and Para-amino benzoic acids are also beneficial. These vitamins are present in fruits such as lemon, pineapple and strawberry and in vegetables such as potato.

BEST REMEDY FOR HAIR LOSS IN WOMEN?
Hello. Your condition is normal. It is relatively known as Postpartum Hair Loss and your hair will grow back.
To briefly explain the situation, when you are under pregnancy, your hormones level fluctuate. You will usually have higher levels of Estrogen which are important for healthy hair. As your body is more nourished by foods for the baby, your hair during that period will look healthier and radiant.
However, after giving birth, your Estrogen levels will tumble as well as your body facing a period of post natal stress. That will eventually shock some of your hair follicles into the resting phase because of the lack of nutrients and lower levels of Estrogen. The hairs in the resting phase will fall off after a period of 3 months in a normal hair growth cycle.Therefore, you will notice that a lot of hairs falling off after 3-4 of pregnancy.
As your body should recuperate after birth, your hair will stop falling that much. So there is nothing to worry about. Your hair will come back. However, if you really want to do something about it..try taking vitamins that can help your hair to grow back faster and stronger.
For the selection of hair loss treatment it is more important to find the cause of hair loss.
pregnancy and other physical or emotional stress like extreme weight gain or loss, illnesses like high fever, and the use of certain drugs causes sudden hair loss but such type of hair loss is not permanant and can be regrow completely.
So dont worry about such hair loss it will recover soon.

What are remedies for hair loss in women?
If it's male-pattern hair loss (at the temples and crown) then you need to get your hormones back into the normal female range.
But remember that after the menopause many or most women tend to develop more ';male-type'; hair patterns -- hence the reference to a ';widow's peak'; as the hair recedes at the temples. After the menopause most women also tend to have some moustache and eventually some beard growth if they're not on hrt. So don't get worried about ';normal'; hair loss.
Where hair patterns start following a male pattern before menopause it's worth consulting a doctor to see whether there's any pathological cause. But again, remember that there's a considerable overlap between males and females on this one.What are remedies for hair loss in women?
try using Rogaine for women.What are remedies for hair loss in women?
you can try the hair restorer for women they sell it at wal-mart and you can also brush it on your eyebrows too if they are sparse.
My doctor recommended I get Biotin, which is a Vitamin Supplement which gives you healthy hair. I think you can find it at all drug stores, but you might need a prescription, so ask your doctor.
vitamin E

What has caused hair loss in women!?
I didnt realize it but my hair has been falling out. Now it is very obvious. My hair was my alot thicker. Had blood test and it came back normal. My hair is so thin on top I cant maintain my hair style and it falls within mins. You can see my scalp ,I need help. My daughter has it real bad also, and her blood test came back normal, could it be a lack of a vitamin? Please help.?What has caused hair loss in women!?
maybe you have PCOS? it took my drs forever to figure it out What has caused hair loss in women!?
It could be cancer...But the blood tests said Normal. It could be a lack of Vitamins, Get a Vitamin supplement and use it for around a week, If the amount of hair that falls out does not reduce then I would go and see a doctor or skin specialist.
It may also just be in your Gene's for hair to fall out, Do you and your daughter dye your hair alot or wash them alot? If you dye your hair then I would go and consult a hairdresser, They may have some hair strengthening serums/ointments.
If you wash your hair alot of have been using only 1 brand of Shampoo and conditioner then I would stop washing it so much, twice a week is plenty. Also try chaging your shampoo and conditioner, If you are using a cheap and crappy brand then try something a little more expensive. The cheap stuff may contain some NASTY chemicals.
In the mean time, If it is obvious wear a cap or beanie or a head scarf.
Could be many different factors that are causing your hair loss. I think you may be on to something asking about the vitamins because It is important that your body is getting all the nutrients it needs.
You can stop your hair loss with the right treatment. Do not use just any old solution, though. Do some comparing of hair loss products.
I found a site that compares top treatments on the market today, and they have a review of a woman hair loss solution.

What causes hair loss in women in there 60's and is there any treatment for it?
The causes of hair loss in women may be different from the causes of baldness in men. Dermatologists said that hair loss is a growing problem affecting women that may occur even in an earlier age.
Factors for hair loss in women
The following are some reasons why hair follicles break their normal cycle and switch into a resting phase. These are the factors why some women experience thinning of hair and thicker hair on the other parts of their bodies. The causes include any or a combination of emotional and physical state such as stress, hormonal imbalance (especially androgen sensitivity), genetics.
Some are caused by immune system irregularities including thyroid disorders, nutritional deficiencies (Iron and Vitamin A). Others may be due to cosmetic factors. Lastly, health conditions may contribute to the situation due to radiation or chemotherapy, dental treatment, blood loss, drugs, diseases, surgery and scarring.What causes hair loss in women in there 60's and is there any treatment for it?
Usually it is caused by the lower production of estrogen ( female hormone). This allows for the testosterone to become more active in the woman's body and may cause hair loss.

Whats the best way to solve hair loss in women?
I actually researched this a lot a while back. The best way to solve it is to find out WHY it is happening. I started losing a lot of hair after I had my son. The following things could trigger hair loss: post-pregnancy, rapid weight loss, stress, poor nutrition, certain medications and I am sure there are many more reasons. I would say those are probably the most common.
Take a daily multivitamin, eat a variety of healthy foods and drink water instead of sodas.
The way a persons hair looks has more to do with what they put in their body rather than on their body.Whats the best way to solve hair loss in women?
There are some pills you could take. My mom usually just washes her hair with a special shampoo that is just for hair loss. They seem to work pretty well, but you should probably go to a dermatologist if it's way too much and it doesn't stop (not even a little) with the shampoo. If you see that it is stopping with the shampoo, but not completely, you should wait until after you wash it a couple more times until you decide to go to a doctor because it could just take a while to start working.Whats the best way to solve hair loss in women?
try another shampo with alot of vitamins.

What causes hair loss in women under the age of thirty?
Stress, lack of essential vitamins and minerals in your body, but it could be stress related. I lost my hair when i was about 27, and it devastated me, so i saw a trichologist who said that my hair would grow back and it did! The only drawback though was that it grew back grey. But what the heck, better grey hair than no hair! My hair loss was from stress and i got counselling which helped too. Have yourself checked out, and be positive and work through things that might be affecting youWhat causes hair loss in women under the age of thirty?
allergies, alopecia, polycystic ovarian syndrome, thyroidWhat causes hair loss in women under the age of thirty?
Stress, stress and more stress!!!
Thyroid or lack of vitamins... I used to brush and would have tons of hair when I was done... My dad used to pick off hairs that were embedded in his shirts from washing my clothes with him. I got a free bottle of Viactiv Women's Viatmin - it's either 50 or 60 count at Walgreen's or any drug store. I haven't heard him complain any more and have less hair loss. It's great! Granted you'll always have some hair loss but this is A LOT LESS!
Not enough nutrition, anemia, thyroid, a lot of diseases/conditions actually
Or you damaged your hair too much

What causes patchy hair loss in women? I have been told stess. That's too general of an answer for me!?
I have had my thyroid checked, numerous blood tests. I have been told that it could be linked to sleep apnea. I've been tested for lupus. My doctor doesn't have any answers... I'm just wondering if she could be missing something. I am 33, I first experienced hair loss after the birth of my second daughter in 2002. I'll get a spot, usually on the right side of my head that starts out about the size of a pencil eraser. They have been as big as an orange! I'm talking smooth baby butt bald! Hair slowly grows back, but another spot will usually appear before the previous one is completely covered by new hair. Right now, I have a spot on the back of my head about the size of a golf ball. I am stressed worrying about my hair falling out. Other than that, I would not say that I am under any more stress than most.What causes patchy hair loss in women? I have been told stess. That's too general of an answer for me!?
stress definitely can cause hair loss. but have you been diagnosed with alopecia? alopecia is just baldness, and alot of women experience alopecia...maybe you should talk to your doctor about alopecia and whether or not your hair loss is a result of that.What causes patchy hair loss in women? I have been told stess. That's too general of an answer for me!?
The fact that the baldness moves could indicate ringworm. And I know that this is REALLY hard to get rid of once you have it. There are some teachers that develop this as a chronic disease because they're exposed to it so incessantly.
Yes, stress can be a major reason, but also a hormonal imbalance causes that as well. I'm experiencing the same thing. You'll have to ask your doctor and see if he can get you on some kind of hormone or if you want to do it naturally, then search the web on'; hormonal imbalance';. It all depends on what your body needs, so I can't just say ';Take this, this, and this and your problems will be cured.'; Your doctor may support you if you want to go natural, and help you figure out what you need to do, but usually doctors just want to put you on some kind of drug. Search all your options and go from there. Talk to people, or you could go to your local health food store and ask them their advice. I hope this helps. Good luck.
cholesterol medication could cause hair to fall out. you didn't say if your are on any meds, but that can cause hair loss.
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune malfunction. This mean your immune system attacks the hair follicles in the patch as if they were ';invaders';. Stress can bring it on, but it is common in families that have eczema, psoriasis, asthma.
Low thyroid function can be associated with it.
During menopause the placenta takes on the production of progesterone and levels rise dramatically. After childbirth there is a sharp fall in progesterone. In an indirect way progesterone can help you make stress hormones, but low progesterone is not usually the cause of alopecia areata - or lots more menopausal ladies would suffer - children also suffer.
Low iron levels have been associated with all forms of hair loss - so it may be worth getting your Ferratin level - iron stores checked.
Regards
Andy
There is a great shift in hormone levels after pregnancy and hair loss is very typical. It would be helpful to know if your doctor had your hormones checked. There is also a condition known as alopecia which has no known cause - they used to say stress, but they do not any longer. The fact that your hair grows back is the interesting (and hopeful) part.
I would definitely get to a dermatologist along the way - they can offer a different point of view.
stress definitely can cause hair loss. but have you been diagnosed with alopecia? alopecia is just baldness, and alot of women experience alopecia...maybe you should talk to your doctor about alopecia and whether or not your hair loss is a result of that.What causes patchy hair loss in women? I have been told stess. That's too general of an answer for me!?
The fact that the baldness moves could indicate ringworm. And I know that this is REALLY hard to get rid of once you have it. There are some teachers that develop this as a chronic disease because they're exposed to it so incessantly.
Yes, stress can be a major reason, but also a hormonal imbalance causes that as well. I'm experiencing the same thing. You'll have to ask your doctor and see if he can get you on some kind of hormone or if you want to do it naturally, then search the web on'; hormonal imbalance';. It all depends on what your body needs, so I can't just say ';Take this, this, and this and your problems will be cured.'; Your doctor may support you if you want to go natural, and help you figure out what you need to do, but usually doctors just want to put you on some kind of drug. Search all your options and go from there. Talk to people, or you could go to your local health food store and ask them their advice. I hope this helps. Good luck.
cholesterol medication could cause hair to fall out. you didn't say if your are on any meds, but that can cause hair loss.
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune malfunction. This mean your immune system attacks the hair follicles in the patch as if they were ';invaders';. Stress can bring it on, but it is common in families that have eczema, psoriasis, asthma.
Low thyroid function can be associated with it.
During menopause the placenta takes on the production of progesterone and levels rise dramatically. After childbirth there is a sharp fall in progesterone. In an indirect way progesterone can help you make stress hormones, but low progesterone is not usually the cause of alopecia areata - or lots more menopausal ladies would suffer - children also suffer.
Low iron levels have been associated with all forms of hair loss - so it may be worth getting your Ferratin level - iron stores checked.

There is a great shift in hormone levels after pregnancy and hair loss is very typical. It would be helpful to know if your doctor had your hormones checked. There is also a condition known as alopecia which has no known cause - they used to say stress, but they do not any longer. The fact that your hair grows back is the interesting (and hopeful) part.

I have been loosing hair for the past year or two and it's only in the front of my head. It comes off easily from the root. And i noticed I have had severe dandruff lately. I have a bald spots on the front of my head with a little bit of hair over it. Ive been to the doctor and i was told it could be hormones and it should stop soon. But it didnt What could it be? What could i do to regrow the hair?Hair loss in women question?
It very likely could be your hormones. I would get a good dandruff shampoo and see if that helps also. Dandruff is a fungus that can get worst, if not treated.
I found a few sites that may help you understand the hair loss:

It wouldn't hurt to get a second opinion. Also, dandruff can actually *cause* hair loss, so controlling it might stop the hair loss. Rogaine is likely to stop, slow, or reverse the hair loss if you suffer from female pattern hair loss. Its best if you start taking it early and it won't hurt if you try it.
Go for a checkup to rule out a thyroid or autoimmune disease (lupus and alopecia areata); a blood test might diagnose a hormone problem; ask a pharmacist if there are any side-effects to any medications you might be taking. Its possible that you may suffer from mercury contamination from eating too much fish (more than three fish a week is not safe anymore). Try to simplify your life and avoid stress (easier said, I suppose....) and make sure you've got enough vitamins, omega 3 fatty acids, and protein in your diet.
I encourage you to see another dermatologist, one who will explore all the possible causes with you. In the meantime, try Rogaine. That stuff isn't a scam. (Nioxxin shampoo is also worth a try.)
go see a hairdresser or a specialist for skin
Most of the commercial shampoos and conditioners on the market contain toxic chemicals that actually irritate the scalp, erode at the hair folicle and cause dandruff like symptoms. The two main chemicals are SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate) and Propylene glycol - check out your shampoo... I am a distributor for Neways, a company that makes 100% non toxic hair care, skin care and cosmetics. A friend of mine suffered from dandruff for years and the antidandruff shampoo's she tried didn't help much at all. She tried the Neways range and her dandruff was gone within 1 week. Her hair started getting thicker too because the otherwise clogged hair folicles were actually getting to do their thing! You will not find neways in retail stores.

Does anybody know of any herbal medicine that will help with hair loss in women? I have heard herbal is better
I think i might have androgenic alopecia (sorry if spelling is wrong) I am 21 female losing hair on top and sides of hair ..my doctor said i dont have that that it is a result of iron but i am sure i have it. Have any other females had this problem at such a young age??? thank you xxxDoes anybody know of any herbal medicine that will help with hair loss in women? I have heard herbal is better
If your taking a proper multi-vitamin and doing everything else right in terms of diet and exercise you might want to try sulfur. It has been used by alopecia patients to regrow hair. Sulfur is a natural chemical element and is used in a lot of hair growth aids. It has a really bad smell, like smoked bacon.
Try boundless tresses or MTG. They are both really good hair growth aids. If you do buy it, test some on the back of your hair to make sure your not alergic and then if your not just continue the use. You can research and read reviews on both products if you google their names.Does anybody know of any herbal medicine that will help with hair loss in women? I have heard herbal is better

bring some garlic and peal them then get some slices of them in the areas where ur losin hair and after 30 minutes and then wash ur hair ,do it once aweek and after 2 weeks u'll start noticin baby hair
Are you talking about a ';receding hairline';? Yes, iron deficiency (not enough iron) or having too much iron. I suggest staying away from all sugars and white carbs like donuts, breads....drink lots of water, exercise, take a women's daily vitamin, take flaxseed oil daily, eat alot of raw veggies and fruits, eat raw fish or baked....If you are on birth control, this is dangerous...I've been off for 7 years and I had that problem too and also with iron. I suggest that if you are, get off immediately and tell your friends too. Look into a better way of living and eating and your hair will love you for it.
I do recommend that you shampoo and condition your hair once a week, deep condition once a week w/ a cream conditioner and massage your scalp with your fingers, sit under a hot dryer or use a hot wet towel for 15 mins. People think it's the hair that's the problem but it's actually the scalp condition and your healthy lifestyle.

Why does low thyroid cause hair loss in women?
Why hasn't thyroid replacement treatment stopped hair loss? Any treatment suggestions?Why does low thyroid cause hair loss in women?
It may not have anything to do with low thyroid.We tend to think of it as a guy thing. But some experts believe that dramatically thinning hair--the fallout (literally) from stress, poor nutrition, an underlying medical condition, harsh hair treatments, or heredity, among other causes--is as common in women as it is in men.
Roughly half of all women over age 40 experience excessive hair loss. And one study estimates that it occurs in 75 percent of women over age 65.
Perhaps you've noticed a few extra hairs in the sink after a combing. Or maybe your scalp appears a little more visible when you emerge from the shower. If you fear that your hair may be thinning significantly, read on to learn more about hair loss in women--what causes it, what it looks like, and what you can do about it.
What's Causing My Hair Loss?
The most common type of hair loss from the scalp (as opposed to hair loss all over the body) is androgenetic alopecia (AA), or pattern baldness. When it occurs in men, it's called male-pattern baldness; in women, it's female-pattern baldness. AA accounts for 95 percent of all cases of head-only hair loss and it results when, for reasons science hasn't identified, hair follicles become sensitive to the hormone androgen.
Who Gets It?
AA is hereditary. A history of the condition in men or women on either side of your family (not just your mom's side, as most people believe) increases your risk of developing it and also influences the age at which your hair loss begins, the speed with which it occurs, and its pattern and extent. But a family history isn't always a factor: About 12 percent of people with AA have no trace of it in their family trees.
What Does It Look Like?
Alopecia means baldness. But women with AA rarely go completely bald, as some men do. Most often a woman's hair simply thins gradually and diffusely on the top of or all over her head. In both men and women, AA is permanent and continues with aging.
What Can I Do?
Be sure to consult an expert who can help determine why your hair is thinning so you can treat the problem correctly. To find a physician in your area who specializes in diseases of the skin and hair, check out the American Academy of Dermatology Web site. Click on Find a Dermatologist to search by state, city, area code, zip code, or last name.
In the meantime, however:
Don't Be Afraid to Wash Your Hair
It won't lead to hair loss.
Avoid Brushing or Teasing
Both can lead to hair loss. Use a wide-toothed comb instead.
Try a New 'Do
A style with layers will help your hair look fuller. You can even perm or color your hair; medically, there's no reason not to. Just avoid a weave or any other style that can put prolonged tension on your hair or cause it to break, which can lead to further hair loss.
Am I Losing It?
The truth is, you are--everyone is. Most of us shed 50 to 150 hairs a day. Once a hair is shed, a new hair from the same follicle replaces the lost strand--unless you have AA. AA occurs when the rate of hair shedding exceeds the rate of hair regrowth, or when the new hair shafts that grow in are thinner than the previous ones, making your mane look progressively less thick.
Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow
You can experience temporary hair loss, and unlike androgenetic alopecia, it's not gradual. Here are two for-women-only causes of temporary hair loss.
Giving Birth
During pregnancy, the rise in hormones sends hair into its resting phase, so hair that would naturally fall out doesn't. Several months after delivery, hormones return to normal, and some women experience an increase in hair loss (all over the head, not just at the top). This can last between 1 and 6 months; then, it usually corrects itself.
Starting the Pill
Some women lose hair while taking birth control pills. The reasons: shifting hormone levels (caused by the Pill) and heredity. If this happens to you, talk to your gynecologist about switching to a different Pill or birth control method.
If you've been checked out by the dermatologist and determined to have thyroid-related hair loss, you may have to settle in and be a bit patient. It's likely that for most, the hair loss will slow down, and eventually stop, once hormone levels are stabilized and in the normal range. This may take a few months, however. But rest assured, I've had many thousands of emails from people, and have yet to hear from anyone who lost most of his or her hair, or became bald, due to thyroid disease. But people -- including myself -- have experienced significant loss of hair volume. In my case, I'd guess at one point, I lost almost half my hair. I had long, thick hair, and it got much thinner at various times. But now, with my thyroid fairly regulated, a T4/T3 drug, and use of EPO, it is at about 85-90% of where it used to beI still have short periods when it seems to be shedding a bit more than usual, but they are quite infrequent. (I used to think I was going to able to stuff pillows with all the hair I was losing!)
Look at Other Alternatives
In one study, Dr. Hugh Rushton, a professor at Portsmouth University, also found that 90 percent of women with thinning hair were deficient in iron and the amino acid lysine. Lysine is the most difficult amino acid to get enough of via diet. Lysine helps transport iron, which is the most important element in the body and essential for many metabolic processes. When lysine and iron levels are low, the body probably switches some hair follicles off to increase levels elsewhere. Meat, fish and eggs are the only food sources of lysine. There are also supplements that contain lysine.
Some other natural ways to deal with hair loss include:
Arginine
Cysteine
Green Tea
Polysorbate 80
Progesterone
Saw Palmetto
Trichosaccaride
Vitamin B6 Zinc
Consult a Doctor for a Prescription Treatment
In some cases, your dermatologist may recommend that you try drug treatments. The two popular drugs for hair loss -- Rogaine and Propecia -- both interfere with DHT's ability to destroy hair follicles. Neither drug is safe to use during pregnancy, however, and so they are not as commonly used in women of child-bearing age. Rogaine, the brand name for minoxidil, is available without a prescription. Women typically use a 2% minoxidil solution applied to the scalp twice a day, and men use a 5% solution. Improvements with minoxidil are slow - it may take months to see any improvement, and a year or more for any dramatic change in hair loss and regrowth. To maintain improvements, minoxidil needs to be continued daily. Propecia, the brand name for finasteride, is a prescription drug taken in pill form. It is not to be used by women in child-bearing years because of its ability to cause serious birth defects, but it has been shown to help some women. Propecia does not, however, appear to be any more effective than minoxidil, and like minoxidil, it can take a year to see results, and must be taken for life to maintain regrowth.
Consider Other Options
Ultimately, if thyroid treatment, drugs, and supplements do not resolve your hair loss, and it is a debilitating problem, you may want to consider other options, including:
Hair-transplant surgery. In this treatment, donor hair follicles are taken from an area of your head that is not thinning. Tiny grafts of just a few hair follicles are implanted in your thinning areas. When successful, the transplanted follicles begin to regrow hair in the sparser areas. Several treatments may be necessary, and visible regrowth may take a year. This approach is better for patches of hair loss, rather than general thinning.
A hair weave, which adds artificial hair to existing hair.
Hairpieces and falls (that can be attached under natural hair, or via combs) for additional fullness and styling options, or wigs.

What is the most common reason for hair loss in women?
Hair loss is caused by many reasons such as malnutrition, illness, tension and other health problems.It is normal to shed some hair each day as part of a cycle of growing new hairs and loosing some. Badly damaged hair breaks at the scalp.
Check out http://usefulinfo-hairloss.blogspot.com/ for more info.
Good Luck! =)What is the most common reason for hair loss in women?
The reasons are the same as they are for men. It's hormonal, specifically androgens.
Experts say hair usually grow at the rate of about one-half inch per month -- with each hair having a growth phase of two to six years. At that point the hair ';rests'; for a period of time, then falls out -- and the follicle from which it sprang soon starts growing a new strand.
In some folks, however -- those with a genetic predisposition to hair loss -- a group of hormones called androgens interferes with this natural process. Androgen hormones include testosterone, androsteinedione, and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) -- all of which are made in men's bodies in large amounts, and in women's bodies in small amounts.
In those who are genetically susceptible, when testosterone comes in contact with enzymes residing in the hair cell, it is converted into the more potent androgen DHT, which then binds with receptors deep within the hair follicle.
Over time, an excess build-up [of DHT] in the follicle causes it to begin shrinking, which in turn alters the natural resting and growth phases of the hair. Some of the follicles eventually die, while others are rendered incapable of producing or maintaining healthy hair growth. The end result is hair loss -- and a condition that is medically known as androgenic alopecia.What is the most common reason for hair loss in women?
*** My Success with Natural Techniques To Re-grow Lost Hair
Been on minoxidil ( R0gaine庐 ) for about a year and a half and have not seen even the smallest amount of regrowth that i almost fell into depression.
My hair only started visibly growing on the bald spot after skeptically trying out the various natural techniques to re-grow lost hair @ http://www.regrowmyhair.info
I would highly recommend this easy to follow step-by-step guide with pictures to anyone who is suffering from hair loss right now. But remember this isn't a miracle cure for baldness as you will also need to put in some effort in order to see results. And its only a minimum commitment of 15 minutes a day to help re-grow your lost hair.
Anyway, its also a cheaper and effective way of re-growing lost hair compared to those unnatural ways which may involve harsh chemicals that may have side effects.
There are many reasons for hair loss including stress, malnutrition/diet, vitamin deficiency, age, hormones and underlying medical problems.
overuse of hairdryer, not protecting hair in the sun (wearing a hat), not protecting hair while straitening, dying hair too frequently, bleaching hair, sometimes it's just genetic.
not eating enough protein. now a days, people are always on diet,leaving much to be desired in aspects of nutritious food.
anxiety and not enough hair care are the other causes.
Anxiety and hormonal changes are some of the contributors to hair loss in women.
genetic
stress
major surgery

Good Luck! =)What is the most common reason for hair loss in women?
The reasons are the same as they are for men. It's hormonal, specifically androgens.
Experts say hair usually grow at the rate of about one-half inch per month -- with each hair having a growth phase of two to six years. At that point the hair ';rests'; for a period of time, then falls out -- and the follicle from which it sprang soon starts growing a new strand.
In some folks, however -- those with a genetic predisposition to hair loss -- a group of hormones called androgens interferes with this natural process. Androgen hormones include testosterone, androsteinedione, and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) -- all of which are made in men's bodies in large amounts, and in women's bodies in small amounts.
In those who are genetically susceptible, when testosterone comes in contact with enzymes residing in the hair cell, it is converted into the more potent androgen DHT, which then binds with receptors deep within the hair follicle.
Over time, an excess build-up [of DHT] in the follicle causes it to begin shrinking, which in turn alters the natural resting and growth phases of the hair. Some of the follicles eventually die, while others are rendered incapable of producing or maintaining healthy hair growth. The end result is hair loss -- and a condition that is medically known as androgenic alopecia.What is the most common reason for hair loss in women?
*** My Success with Natural Techniques To Re-grow Lost Hair
Been on minoxidil ( R0gaine庐 ) for about a year and a half and have not seen even the smallest amount of regrowth that i almost fell into depression.
My hair only started visibly growing on the bald spot after skeptically trying out the various natural techniques to re-grow lost hair @ http://www.regrowmyhair.info
I would highly recommend this easy to follow step-by-step guide with pictures to anyone who is suffering from hair loss right now. But remember this isn't a miracle cure for baldness as you will also need to put in some effort in order to see results. And its only a minimum commitment of 15 minutes a day to help re-grow your lost hair.
Anyway, its also a cheaper and effective way of re-growing lost hair compared to those unnatural ways which may involve harsh chemicals that may have side effects.
There are many reasons for hair loss including stress, malnutrition/diet, vitamin deficiency, age, hormones and underlying medical problems.
overuse of hairdryer, not protecting hair in the sun (wearing a hat), not protecting hair while straitening, dying hair too frequently, bleaching hair, sometimes it's just genetic.
not eating enough protein. now a days, people are always on diet,leaving much to be desired in aspects of nutritious food.
anxiety and not enough hair care are the other causes.
Anxiety and hormonal changes are some of the contributors to hair loss in women.

What is the average hair loss in women a day?
Anywhere up to 200 hairs, and when your hair is long, that can look like a hell of a lot! Changes in hormones can increase or decrease the amount you shed. If something (like pregnancy) has decreased your normal shedding rate, you have a period after where your body catches up and sheds all the hairs that would normally have been shed during that time which can be very disconcerting, but is perfectly normal.beauty secrets

What are the possible causes for rapid hair loss in women?
AgeWhat are the possible causes for rapid hair loss in women?
An excess of testosterone, underactive thyroid....have a blood test to check your hormones.What are the possible causes for rapid hair loss in women?
anemia
stress
Recent use of antibiotics and cause hair to fall out. (Especially Zithromax, Erythromycins but many others can cause it.) Since antibiotics interfere with plant cell production, some processes are also found in animal cells and interfere with their ability to grow.
Being severly overweight or quickly gaining weight can also cause male pattern baldness in women and rapid hair loss.
If large patches of hair have suddenly fallen out, suspect a possible fungal infection of the scalp. A dermatologist can confirm that by a scraping and examine under the microscope in a Sodium Hydroxide solution. Depending on the causitive fungus, a shampoo or cream or tablets or combination thereof can be used to kill it.... as well as a bit of laundry to prevent re-infection.
These are a few of the posibilities, not an exhaustive list... just some things to investigate.
stress and no conditioners
hair loss is heriditary. It is recessive in female and dominant in male. The loss is not as fast as in male. Another is both emotional and physical stress such as serious illness or recovery from surgery have been associated with hair loss. It is possible that stress induces hormomal changes that are responsible for hair loss, since hair loss is a known consequence of other hormonal changes due to pregnancy, thryoid disturbance, or evern from taking oral contraceptives. Nervous habits, such as scalp rubbing or hair twisting or pulling may also be responsible for hair loss. These habits may respnose to psychological stress in some people and may be another cause of stress-related hair loss.
stress-worry- and some medications will cause hair loss
Have you been put on any new medications recently? Are you anemic or having thyroid problems? If you are losing your hair at a fast rate and your hair is noticeably thinner, you really need to go see the doctor, your metabolism is out of whack.
stress
Not many people think that medications such as blood pressure meds can and will make you lose hair. Talk to a doctor about your concerns and always ask for side effects including hair loss.

Can hair loss in women be related to a vitamin dificiency?
I have been experiencing some extreme hair loss for many months now and I've gone to get blood work which has turned out pretty okay (very mild iron dificiency), thyroid is good, so are hormones etc. My hair has aways fallen out easily since I was little and it almost seems that my hair aside from being fine and thin comes off from the roots (scalp). Could it be that there's a vitamin or mineral dificiency in me? If so, what kind and how can I take care of it? I'm concerned because I've never lost so much hair as I have now. I don't feel like I'm stressed, no trauma so what is it? Haven't given birth, no surgery etc. I'm actually now going to cut my hair shorter to hopefully help stop the hair loss but how can I make my hair stronger so it doesn't fall off my scalp so easily?Can hair loss in women be related to a vitamin dificiency?
Maybe but not likely. You might need more protein. If you are on a vegetarian diet then that is probably the reason. I lost a beautiful head of hair by becoming vegetarian. Now it is taking me years to get my hair back and a lot of money on doctor visits.
Stress can lead to hair loss. I lost tons of hair when I was eating too much tofu and soy products because it blocked my thyroid medication.
My guess would be stress, even though you say no, you could be internalizing your stress.
Try yoga and take prenatal vitamins. I have some friends who swear by them for healthier hair and nails.
Yes, Rogaine will help but it is expensive and if you stop using it; all the hair you have grown will fall out.Can hair loss in women be related to a vitamin dificiency?
My friend had this problem and her doctor said it was due to her mild iron deficiency. She started taking iron pills (with food b/c they are hard on your stomach) and it took a long time but her hair started growing back and stopped falling out.
ROGAIN....You are carrying the male hormone Testosterone. Apparantly too much in your body. A visit to your doctor and some hormone replacement therapy will make all the difference. I am betting on it. Good Luck.
Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause hair loss
thank you for asking this question. im going through the same exact thing..so ill keep watching for answers

How do you stop hair loss in women? IS there any supplements or treatments that work to prevent hair loss?
I don't think so. If it is hereditary then you are stuck. Rogaine for women works really well but takes four months to see a difference. Hair extentions are popular now if your hair is VERY thin.
Have you told your doctor? Possible it could be an thyroid or hormonal issue.
OBTW, take a multivitamin everyday.

And, if its fixable, how?What can cause hair loss in women under 18?
according to the article i found in http://hairrestorationtalk.com/hair-loss鈥?/a> , the most common cause of hair loss in adults, which can also happen in teenagers, is alopecia. other causes are tinea capitis and traction alopecia. depending on the cause, it can be fixable.What can cause hair loss in women under 18?
Hormones. Hypothyroidism. Stress. A blood test will determine thyroid problems, probably hormone fluctuation. A good dermatologist can tell you if its pattern baldness. Even if it is, there is Rogaine for women. Stress in an 18 year old isn't as easily fixed without professional help.
Majority of the time hairloss under the age of 18 is caused from a skin fungus. I would try slesun blue shampoo or you made need to see a dermatologist for a skin scrapping for a more definitive diagnosis. They could give you something like nizoral shampoo.
Poor diet, stress, using a product which does not suit you, chemical treatments like colouring/straightening, etc
You can control it using coconut hair oil.

What's a good product for hair loss in women?
I've noticed some of my hair getting thinner. Other people don't but I can cause it's been on my head for 28yrs ;) It's obviously thinner after having my son. Any suggestions on what products really work? Ookisa particularly. Does it work?What's a good product for hair loss in women?
You need to use a hair treatment like provillus. I've been on it for 5 weeks and i must say there is a major improvement in my part. It has all the vitamins your hair needs and much more.I've used it and I had very good results.Provillus contains the only FDA-approved topical ingredient clinically proven to re grow hair.
I am sure this product will be worth your time for a second look since your money would be going into the right hands. In a survey conducted, 18 out of 20 people experienced a drastic change after using this product. None experienced any side effects.
Provillus offers the best possible and perennial solution for this problem for both men and women. One of the best parts of the provillus treatment is that it uses natural ingredients. This has accounted for its rising popularity. Thus it leaves the other products behind in this context, since most of the products contain harmful chemicals.
Provillus basically functions by removing the main cause of hair loss i.e. DHT. DHT damages the hair follicles and is responsible for the thinning of hair. It also restricts the re-growth of new hair. Provillus prevents its formation and it also promotes the growth of the new hair.
I use it once a day every evening. The area which i was balding in was the top middle portion of my head, not sure why cause no one in my family is loosing hair accept me so its not genetic. I have regrowth in that area, few strands are coming up and my wife says its so much better than it was before.
Well you might be aware that it is available for both men and women. The saw palmetto extract is basically present in the men's version whereas a combination of acids is present in the female version. Thus in addition to the solution of problem of hair loss it also nourishes hair.
Till now Provillus has been getting positive feedbacks so you needn't worry and instead be assured. It offers the its users complete satisfaction.

As you stated , childbirth is a time when a lot of women start losing hair. This is normal and temporary. As soon as your hormones return to pre-pregnancy levels, your hair will start to re-grow
Thyroid imbalances: Consult a doctor for this matter. Provillus will not help this type of hair loss is a symptom of a more serious problem. However, it can be treated, and then your hair will re-grow.
Menopause is another time when women鈥檚 hormones change. Almost 37% of women experience hair thinning after menopause. This is usually temporary, but your doctor can tell you more about it.
As the site states , this product has helped many people and you can even search the reviews on the net!

Hi, you may try hair loss products with minoxidil (FDA approved). Minoxidil is classified as a hair growth stimulant but it actually is much more than that, primarily due to its effectiveness in treating female/male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia).
There are many hair loss products come with topical minoxidil,such as: rogaine and provillus.
Rogaine is the only product on the market right now that has been scientifically proven to work. Now it doesn't make hair grow but it does prevent further hair loss. They make a Rogaine for women now it's available at almost any retail outlet like Wal-mart, Walgreens,ect..
I have never heard of that but what worked for me is VIA, i think you might be able to find it at a local beauty supply store or online. I lost alot of my hair after cancer and it worked wonders. I only had to wear a wig for 6 months while my hair grew back. I have seen in other former cancer patients the hair never grows back the same but mine grew back thicker than ever. But hair thinning after kids is normal, if you're not wanting to go the route i went try using a thickening shampoo and conditioner from the matrix amplify line along with their root lifter.
