If you're a woman, hair loss is on your short list of things you don't want as a problem. When you see too much hair coming out with every brushing, it's enough to alarm the staunchest of women. In short, we view hair loss as a calamity! What can be done? You first need to educate yourself on the causes of hair loss in women. You'll want to identify the cause in your own case so that you can pursue making the changes that will address this trauma!
In the United States, estimates vary, showing that 15-80% of all women experience significant hair loss as early as age 40, often attributed to normal aging. With statistics like these, let's take a look at several common causes of hair loss in women and see what you might do to reverse this most unacceptable condition.
Some experts say a common cause of hair loss in women is due to our use of tints, dyes and bleaches. More is not better. Frequent use of these products can weaken the hair, making it brittle and prone to breakage or loss. Another of the common causes of hair loss in women is over-use of hairdryers, which strip natural oils from your hair.
Tight curlers, tightly-pulled pony tails and the wrong hair brush can wreak havoc with the strength of your hair.
If these causes of hair loss in women fits your profile, simply avoid these hair losers for a while, use a good conditioner, the right hairbrush and a once-a-month treatment with mayonnaise worked through the hair and left for half an hour under a shower cap. This remedy also makes your hair grow faster!
Another category of causes of hair loss in women relates to stress, certain medications, hormone fluctuations and diet. Teens and women entering menopause may experience this type of hair loss, but it's generally temporary and can be reversed by correcting the causes. Talk to your pharmacist to see if any medications you're taking may relate to your hair loss. Employ relaxation techniques to deal with stress. Eat quantities of fruits and vegetables daily. Brewer's yeast, nuts and wheat germ are high in protein, contributing to strong hair.
