Women's Hair Loss - "Don't Panic!"

"Yesterday when I was getting my hair cut, my hair stylist commented
on the amount of new growth she saw all over my scalp and said to
continue whatever I was doing since it works."
- Kim

Being a woman with hair loss can be devastating. This guide reviews the causes of female hair loss, and the herbal-based hairloss products that can help stop it. As a woman, you don't need to suffer anymore.

Sandy had just completed her first full year on the birth control pill. In the last couple weeks, a bald spot the size of a golf ball had formed on the back of her head. When she saw it, she was in shock. What was happening? What could be causing this?

Rose just finished celebrating her 57th birthday, and had recently gone through menopause. Her hair had begun to rapidly thin in the last week or so. Leaning forward into the mirror, her heart sank as she realized the hair she cared so well for her whole life was thinning all over. Panic set in...

Lisa had been on antidepressants for a few months, and was now losing her hair. Lisa had nothing new going on in her life whatsoever. She had a healthy diet, a relatively stress free lifestyle, and nothing much to complain about except that her hair was rapidly thinning and she had no idea why. In August, she went in for her yearly physical, and was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism.

Samantha was celebrating her newborn baby's one month birthday. Unfortunately, it was the same day that she noticed her hair was thinning extensively. She had no idea what was wrong. This just didn't make any sense.

There are many other stories we could tell of women experiencing this incredibly devastating condition known as hair loss. It's hard enough for a man to lose his hair, but at least it is socially acceptable. For a woman losing her hair, the experience can be a thousand times more difficult. Confusion, fear, and anxiety can set in, and the feeling of helplessness is paramount.

Hair Loss In Women

Hair loss is not just a problem for men alone. One out of every four women in the United States experiences it, and for that one woman, hair loss can feel like a first class cosmetic disaster. Under no uncertain terms, we believe that stopping female hair loss and growing new, healthy, vibrant hair is possible.

The incidence of hair loss in women is almost parallel to that in men. However, in women, the degree of hair loss is usually not as extensive as it is in the male population. Luckily, women's genes do not express the trait to the same severe degree as men. There is the same amount of thinning in terms of numbers of women compared to men, but the degree of hair loss is usually not as severe as it is in the male population.

Women are more protected by estrogen for a period of time, but the cause is the same. It's just that they have it happen later, it goes more slowly, and the pattern is such that it's easier to cover it up than it is for men. It's said that we have to lose 50 percent of our hair in any given area before it starts to be noticeably thin, but a lot of women notice it long before then. There are very few people with delusions of hair loss. They can just tell by the texture, by the body, that it's not the hair it used to be. Finally, though, it gets to the point where they begin to see scalp and not hair. Especially in women, right behind the hairline they tend to get a round or oval-shaped area that gets very, very thin, and those women seek treatment.

Most women lose their hair for the same reason that men do...so-called genetics. It's commonly referred to as female pattern balding, as opposed to male-pattern balding, but both refer to what is called androgenetic alopecia, which means hair loss caused by a sensitivity to male type hormones, which men and women both have.

Your body naturally produces the hormone testosterone. It happens in everyone. When testosterone combines with androgen receptors, then mix with the Sebum/dirt substances that are impacted in your follicle, it creates a powerful substance called DHT. DHT is the real enemy of hair growth and retention. When formed, DHT causes the follicle to begin shutting down, and basically, the follicle dies a slow death. What makes this worse is that your bodies immune system senses the follicle is dying, and as part of its defense system, tries to further shut it down and get rid of it (as it would a cold or flu). What effect does a dying, clogged follicle have on an actual hair strand? If you pulled out a hair strand from your follicle, and looked at the root end of the hair strand under a microscope, you would see the hardened sebum/dirt substance on the root of the strand (We encourage you to do this so you can see for yourself!!). What you are seeing is just a small amount of this material. The rest of it is in the hair follicle. At the root of every strand of hair is a bulb. On a healthy strand of hair, the bulb is nicely rounded. This healthy round shape is like a strong root, the larger the bulb, the more firmly your hair is rooted in your follicle.

When Sebum builds up in the follicles, it deteriorates the bulb of the hair. Slowly, the bulbs get smaller, less round, and because of this, your hair is not rooted as well and the hair strand falls out. Then another hair strand grows from the follicle, but this hair strand is thinner and weaker than the last one. Because of Sebum cloggage and the fact that the dying follicle can not provide nutrients, the new hair strand must fight its way through the follicle, causing the hair strand to be thinner and the bulb smaller. This process repeats itself, with the next hair getting thinner and the bulb smaller each time the old one falls out. This is why most men and women experience thinning hair as they are losing it. The unfortunate ending is a hair follicle so damaged from Sebum, bacteria, and DHT production that the follicle dies.

By effectively cleaning out the Sebum and dirt buildup from your follicles, you can stop your hair loss and give yourself the best chance to grow new hair without the use of drugs or chemicals. It is important to find a product that allows this cleansing to occur in the skin, not just on the surface.

The second most common cause of hair loss in women.

Telogen effluvium, which is where the hair goes into a resting or shock phase after any type of insult. The most common cause of this type of resting hair shedding is pregnancy. Three to six months after delivering a child, many women will notice a great degree of hair loss as the hair cycles into a resting phase because of the physiologic insult of pregnancy.

This can also occur quite commonly in women who are on crash diets and lose a great deal of weight over a short period of time, or after acute illnesses, such as an acute infection. Anything that puts stress on the body can cause the body to recycle its hair into a resting phase and cause acute hair shedding, called telogen effluvium. Because the body is able to compensate for this insult, usually three to nine months after the insult, the hair will begin to regrow, and usually in most cases between 90 and 100 percent of hair regrowth can be expected.

The third most common cause of hair loss in women.

The third most common cause that we see in clinical practice is a condition called alopecia areata. Areata is Latin for "round" or "circumscribed", which means that people suddenly see bald spots here or there, or little, tiny short hairs that are broken off. Sometimes it's noticed by the person cutting their hair. It's often related to some stressful event, and it's believed to be some type of immunologic imbalance. The immune system goes after its own hair for some unknown reason, causing them to go into the resting phase and slow down their growth so they break off or come out. A lot of times, it regrows by itself. In fact, most people who have it don't come to the doctor. It just goes away by itself.

But a small number of people have very severe problems. Some people will lose all the hair on their head, and some people lose all the hair on their body. It's quite a common condition.

I am a 45 year old woman, who has been losing my hair for 5 years, and I am having amazing results with your products after ONLY ONE WEEK! Wow - I still cannot believe it. At day 3 I noticed my scalp had turned pink, stopped itching, and completely lost that mottled, shiny bright white scaly texture. At day 7, I was absent mindedly running my fingertips along the front of my hairline and I thought I felt dust - incredibly it is hair - small fine hair, and it is getting thicker and longer each day. I am stunned. I can now feel hair growing all over my scalp, front to back! I had read your web site thoroughly and felt your information made a lot of good sense and decided I would try, one more time, to get my hair back. I am so glad I took a chance on Hair Growth Solutions. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for me in the way of more hair growth. I have spent thousands and thousands of dollars on other treatments and had not one bit of hair growth with any of the products I had tried, and they all cost much, much, much more than Ferm-T products. The other products also left my hair dull and brittle, but your products leave my hair soft, shiny and easy to style. The treatment is also simple and easy. All this for less than a dollar a day! I was about to give up and truly thought nothing could stop my hair loss and restore my hair growth - but I was wrong. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me back what I never thought I would have again - my beautiful hair! I will tell everyone I know about your wonderful products. I am in your debt forever!

Best regards always,
LM
