Women and Hair Loss Treatment - What Women Need to Know
Baldness is a very common occurrence in men, but hair loss treatment for women? Not as common or so we'd like to think! In this day and age, women should be made aware that baldness can occur in women too.
Knowing more about the types, causes and possible treatments for the condition would make it easier for women to handle such a situation if it happens to them in the future.
Knowing the major hair loss types can aid in determining the possible causes and treatment to be applied.
There are different types of the condition but in women there are three major hair loss types.
These are alopecia areata or temporary loss of hair which sometimes appears as a coin shape patch of baldness; telogen effluvia which is usually due to stressors in the system and the androgenetic alopecia or the female pattern baldness.
The last type can generally happen when a woman turns 30 but start as early as 20's or late in the 40's.
While baldness is very common in men, various factors affect hair loss in women.
It could be due to heredity, pregnancy, medications, hormonal imbalance, aging, stress and diets.
System stressors such as illness, drug use, depression or high fever can also be blamed for hair loss.
Some people also wonder if shampoo and other hair products can be a possible cause.
It would be different for different people but there are rare cases that hair dyes, chemicals and others can cause allergic reaction and lead to the inflammation of the scalp and hair loss.
So it is advised to use only high quality hair products to prevent damage and injury to hair follicles due to this.
In some women, hair equipment such as blow dryers and hair irons can also contribute to the los of hair, sometimes to a greater extent than one might expect.
It is best to stay off generic hair equipments and opt for high quality ones to avoid damage to your hair.
Hair loss treatment generally takes about 3 to 4 months but depending on the severity and the body chemistry, it can go longer than that.
For women, some hardy notice the improvement until after a year had passed.
While working on treating this condition, there are some styling tips than can help alleviate the current thin hair condition.
Natural or not, use only products that are recommended for fine or thin hair.
Conventional products for thin hair types are mild enough prevent further hair damage.
Use good quality hair care products all the time, because in many of the highly discounted brands of hair care products, the ingredients have more potential to be sub-standard or to have exceeded recommended shelf life.
Style hair and opt for haircuts that can give the illusion of thick and rich hair.
Apply hair volumizing products to thicken strands and avoid rubbing hair vigorously to avoid hair breakage and further thinning.
Also during the period of hair loss treatment, avoid using heat generating appliances such as hair blowers and styling irons.
Subjecting hair to extreme heat will only cause more damage, hair breakage and loss.
It can be frustrating and depressing, but there is different treatment for different people.
For women, find the patience to religiously treat and style hair in a way that it would appear thicker and work at the physical ways to prevent it from happening.
