Causes of Hair Loss in Women – What Are the Facts?
Are you as frustrated as I am? We have such an abundance of information at our fingertips these days and often it is hard to determine the true facts. I am a simple person and here are simple facts that you should know.
Causes of hair loss in women can be narrowed down into three main categories; hereditary, hormone swings or imbalances, and serious health issues.
Heredity
Heredity is the primary factor in determining whether a woman or man will encounter a thinning of the crown. Nearly 85 million Americans are faced with some amount of balding on their scalp. For women, 1 in 4 will encounter a reduction of their hair due to their genetic make up.
While men generally have a distinct receding hairline, women tend to experience a thinning throughout the front and top of the scalp without distinct lines.
The good news is that hereditary hair loss is treatable with an FDA approved medication called minoxidil. This is the only medication approved by the FDA for women. While minoxidil can not guarantee your hair will re-grow, it is highly likely that it will slow or stop the balding condition. About 20% to 25% of women do experience addition growth.
Hormone Swings or Imbalances
Hormonal swings or imbalances are brought about for many reasons. When this happens, it is not uncommon for women to experience a reduction in her mane. Oftentimes, once the body returns back to its normal state, re-growth will occur.
Childbirth can cause an imbalance of hormones resulting in a thinning on the scalp. Fortunately, your body is likely to return back to its normal state and your locks should return.
Thyroid imbalances should certainly be discussed and diagnosed with your doctor. These conditions can normally be treated, and after words your hair will likely re-grow. So it is important to consult your physician for the proper treatments.
Serious Health Issues
As many know, serious health issues and treatments may cause your crown to thin or disappear altogether. Unfortunately, my first hand experience when my wife underwent chemotherapy was devastating for her. However, the good news is that her beautiful locks all came back.
It is important to talk with your doctor about what medications have the side affect of thinning on your crown, and to ask for alternatives if that is an option.
Conclusion
Causes of hair loss in women are varied. Research has not been as in depth as one might hope. Fortunately, there are some facts that can be gleaned from all the conflicting information we are faced with so often. And that is at this time in our history, only one medication has the FDA approval for female pattern baldness. That medication is minoxidil applied twice a day. A few well known names offer this treatment. I personally recommend Provillus, do your own research before making any decisions.

The regrowth system is for men who have a general thinning of hair on top of the scalp.
We all know it takes time to regrow hair. However, with this Kirkland Minoxidil Extra Strength for Men, results may occur at 2 months with twice daily usage. For some men, it may take at least 4 to 6 months for results to be seen.
Continued use is necessary or hair loss will begin again. If you do not see hair regrowth in 4 to 6 months, stop use. In studies with 5% Minoxidil Extra Strength Topical Solution for Men, hair regrowth has not been shown to last longer than 48 weeks of continuous treatment in large clinical studies.
The amount of hair regrowth is different for each person. Kirkland Minoxidil Extra Strength for Men will not work for all men. Not intended for frontal baldness or a receding hairline.
XFusion is a cosmetic breakthrough that immediately gives men and women thicker-looking hair.It consists of colored organic fibers made of pure keratin protein ââ¬â the same protein that makes up human hair. When shaken onto balding or thinning hair, XFusion fibers instantly and securely fill out the hair a person already has, giving him or her the appearance of having significantly more hair. Since XFusion works with existing hair, it can enhance even the sparsest areas. It is not, however, appropriate for completely bald individuals.
Up to 50 per cent of women experience some form of hair loss during their lives. This is a much-needed, authoritative, and up-to-date resource for these millions of women who struggle with hair loss and its accompanying emotional toll and shame. With few books available on this condition, Candace Hoffmann, a noted medical writer who also deals with female pattern hair loss, discusses types of hair loss, the most recent treatment options, how to create a hair-loss treatment team, and how to cope with painful and difficult emotions. But most of all, the book is a rallying cry to drop the veil of silence and shame that hides the issue of women's hair loss in the dark shadows of denial and fear. Including numerous personal accounts of individual women's struggles with hair loss, this has become a definitive work in its field.
