An alarming trend of abnormal hair loss among women of all ages is on the rise. While minor hair loss is considered normal, many women are suffering from an unexplained and significant loss of hair. It is estimated that over thirty million American women experience atypical hair loss at some point during their life and for many the cause remains unknown.

The loss of hair can be extremely damaging to a woman's self esteem and vanity and is more often than not a cause of great concern for those affected. Luckily, in contrast to men, hair loss in women is usually impermanent and can be rectified. Before attempting to remedy hair loss, it is particularly important to diagnose the cause followed by implementation of proper treatment.

Hair loss in women can be caused by a great number of problems including increased stress, genetic predisposition, pregnancy and even medicinal drugs.

In times of amplified stress, a woman's entire body is thrown out of balance and their immune system naturally and gradually deteriorates. When this occurs, the cycle of hair growth is stalled, consequently causing hair to fall out and cease re-growth. This type of hair loss is most common among, but not limited to, women ages 35-45 and can be cured with a diminishing level of stress and certain nutritional supplements.

For decades, specialists have believed that all hair loss in women was caused by their genetic tendencies, inherited from their parents. While it has been proven that this is not the only origin of hair loss, it is still considered a leading cause. Hair loss that has been inherited can become significantly noticeable any time after puberty, while some with the inborn gene never experience any symptoms of the disease. Genetic hair loss, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is caused by a hormonal imbalance of testosterone and it's subsequent and negative reaction to the enzymes of hair cells. With certain hormonal therapy, androgenetic alopecia is curable.

For many women, their first and possibly only experience with hair loss can be a direct result of pregnancy. Several months after giving birth, many women begin to notice a noteworthy amount of hair loss. This type of hair loss is associated with the hormone estrogen, which is produced in great numbers during pregnancy. Estrogen causes hair to grow rapidly and following birth or the discontinuance of breast-feeding, estrogen levels drop swiftly. This causes hair to cease growth, enter the resting phase and subsequently fall out. While it can be initially alarming because women can lose up to fifteen percent of their hair at once, this type of hair loss will usually correct itself with time and patience.

Certain medication prescribed for patients can also be a cause of hair loss in women. While chemotherapy is commonly known to cause hair to fall out, other drugs such as blood thinners and regulatory cholesterol and blood pressure prescriptions are also to blame. Additionally, certain nutritional enhancements can also cause unusual hair loss, while others can counteract this affect.

There are many factors that cause and contribute to the loss of hair in males. A genetic condition that is referred to as male pattern baldness is one of the most common. This condition is characterized by a gradual thinning of hair on the crown of the head. The thinning usually follows certain patterns, and is caused by hormones as well as a genetic predisposition. It occurs when a hair follicle begins to shrink over time which results in a finer and shorter hair. Eventually the follicle fails to replace the hair during the normal cycle although the follicle remains alive. The reasons for this are not completely understood, but the viability of the follicle does offer hope that growth could take place again.

The hair loss usually begins at the hairline. The hair becomes very fine at first, and then eventually is gone. At the same time, the hair on the crown begins to thin also. Eventually, the thinning hairline and crown meet, and leave a horseshoe shaped fringe of hair around the edges surrounding the bald top. This process is gradual. Rapid hair loss, loss of hair in patches, or loss that is accompanied by pain, redness, or scaling is the result of other factors, and should not be viewed as normal. When these conditions occur, medical attention should be sought at once.

Although there is no cure for male pattern baldness, nor is it considered to be a serious medical problem, it does often cause problems of a personal and emotional nature. Serious problems of self esteem are often associated with hair loss of this type. Some men are quite comfortable with their appearance, however, or are able to deal with it through the use of hairpieces or changes in hair style.

There are many other causes for hair loss in men. These are causes that are not normal and are usually related to a specific condition, and in most cases can be treated by addressing the condition. Stress is one of these. It has quite common for hair loss to occur a month or two after a major surgery, for example. This hair loss as a result of stress is temporary, and normal growth should resume when the stress is removed.

Related to stress hair loss, certain hormonal imbalances can also be the culprits. Over active thyroid glands could be the cause of the imbalance, and treatment of the thyroid condition may be needed. An imbalance of certain male hormones can be another cause, however restoring the balance most often corrects the situation.

Medicines are another cause of hair loss. The loss of hair from medicines used in chemotherapy is well known, but other medicines such as anti-coagulants, and anti-depressants may also result in loss. Even an excessive intake of Vitamin A has been linked to hair loss. Human hair is an extremely delicate part of the human body. Its importance to us is mainly cosmetic, and it is this factor that leads to it being often abused. Hair treatments of all kinds exist that are hard on hair. Hair is curled, waxed, oiled, overly cleaned, over heated, and sometimes pulled out in frustration. We are very hard on our hair, and often the result of this is that we suddenly find ourselves losing it. Some of this loss, as we have seen, is just the normal result of the passing of years, and some of it is caused by medical conditions that can be treated. Much of it is caused by our own abuse. If you find yourself pulling large clumps of hair out of the drain of your sink, it is important to determine just what exactly is going on. There is no magic cure all for male hair loss, but there are treatments and measures that may be taken to stop, or at the very least, reduce it.

How serious you approach this problem, of course, depends a lot on your attitude toward the esthetic value of a full head of hair. Losing hair does not rate up there with, say, losing a kidney. On the other hand, when the hair loss is related to another medical problem, it should not be ignored. Nor should the important issue of self esteem be ignored either. A full head of hair is one of our birthrights, and perhaps, we deserve to keep it.

Hair loss, also known as Alopecia, is not something anyone wants to experience in his or her life. For both men and women, it can mean a total loss of self-esteem, and a feeling of humiliation and embarrassment. Hair loss affects about 35 million men and 21 million women in the United States. A stunning 40% men have hair lost by the age of 35, and 65% have hair loss by the age of 60. There are products such as Propecia, Rogaine, and Avodart to stop or reverse hair loss, but besides the fact that there is no guarantee that they will work, they are also expensive treatments.

There are many natural treatments that you can do at home to stop or reverse the hair loss that you should try before taking a dramatic step towards hair replacement surgery. Massaging your scalp should be started in your early 30's before you notice any significant hair loss. For just a couple of minutes a day, lightly take your fingers and gently massage your scalp from front to back. It can stimulate the blood flow to the hair follicles that may cause some minor hair growth. At the very least it can stop the hair loss in minor cases.

Aromatherapy is another natural option that is used to stimulate your scalp also. You can blend together 6 drops each of lavender and essential bay oils, mixed with 4 drops of almond, sesame oil, or soybean. You should massage it into your scalp and let it sit there for 20 minutes at least 4 times a week. Licensed aroma therapists recommend doing this on a daily basis. Jojoba is oil that the Native Americans have used for centuries to promote hair growth. It is not only great for hair, but also used as a moisturizer when rubbed into your skin.

When used externally, sage and rosemary are two herbs that have shown benefits. You should boil the rosemary and sage together with peach leaf, burdock, and nettle. Strain the loose herbs from the liquid, and then you can use the liquid to wash your hair daily. This should slow down any future hair loss and possibly increase the hair that you are getting.

Aloe Vera has commonly been used to stop hair loss, and again was used by Native Americans for centuries. Aloe's benefit is that it heals the scalp while promoting hair gain. It balances the pH level of your scalp while cleaning out the pores in your scalp to stop oily hair from breaking and weakening. Just add a small amount of Aloe Vera to coconut milk and wheat germ oil and use this as a shampoo, and you should see results fairly quickly.

A simple solution that most people overlook is the cleansing of your hair. It sounds so easy, but some people don't wash their hair in a correct way. They are too rough with the scalp and hair. When washing your hair you need to do so in a very gentle way. Massage the scalp by slowly running your fingers through your hair, and don't scratch the scalp. Don't over shampoo; the normal amount that you should shampoo is twice a week for normal hair, or four times a week for oily hair. When you over wash your hair it gets weaker and breaks till eventually it doesn't grow back. Finally, don't squeeze the water out at the end, just let it drip naturally. If you follow the proper cleansing and try a few of these natural remedies you may have some luck in stopping the hair loss pattern.

There are few things in your life that you will have from the time you are born till when you die. Hopefully your hair can be one of those things you keep forever. Hair can be unmanageable, fragile, and very delicate. You need to take care of it everyday to keep it as shiny, and beautiful as possible.



The first thing you need to know if whether your hair is normal, oily, or dry. This makes a huge difference in the type of shampoo and conditioner you use, which is the start to beautiful, and full hair. Stress, types of food you eat, and hormones can change your type of hair frequently, so it is best to keep in mind these factors when washing your hair.

If you have very oily hair, it doesn't mean that you should scrub it harder or wash it more. It won't take the oil out of your hair, because that oil is caused by sebaceous glands that are aggravated by the aforementioned reasons. Oily hair should be washed at least 3 times a week with shampoo specially designed for oily hair such as lemon shampoo, which gives you a great shine. Conditioning should only be done twice a month, unless your hair is chemically treated, then it should be done every time you shampoo. If your hair is dry then you should wash it only twice a week with shampoo and conditioner made for dry hair such as an egg or herbal shampoo. Your ends are the driest, and therefore more susceptible to breaking so pay special attention to conditioning the ends. Having an oil treatment twice a week will keep it looking more healthy and not as dry and flaky. Normal hair is relatively easy to take care of with shampoo. You should use a mild shampoo and conditioner twice a week. Lightly towel drying your hair before blow-drying can help from keeping your hair from becoming damaged due to the high heat.

For some hair conditioners you can make a home recipe that works just as well as the store bought ones. Adding milk, water, 1-2 egg yolks to henna, which conditions your hair. This is made for dry hair in order to keep it soft and manageable by applying it monthly. For normal or oily hair, add water, lemon, and egg yolks to henna and apply twice a week. To give your hair a bright shine, you can take ½ bucket of water and add ¼ cup vinegar to it and keep it on for an hour.

There are some things that people do to their hair on a daily basis that just shouldn't be done. Tugging on your hair with your hairbrush is the most common occurrence. If you have a tangle, use your fingers to separate it before taking a hairbrush or comb to it. This will break even the strongest hair, and weaken it over time. Worse yet, it could pull out your hair in clumps, and although you may have a full head of hair, you don't want any chance of bald spots later in life. Do not use elastic bands to hold up your hair, it is incredibly hard to get them out, again leading to hair breakage. Don't chew on your hair, especially the ends. The ends are delicate enough without you causing split ends with your teeth. Most importantly, keep the hair dryer at least 5 inches from your hair so the high heat doesn't damage the hair. Following all of these tips should allow you a very long life with your gorgeous, healthy hair
