Let’s face it female hair loss is a serious problem that can shake a woman’s self confidence right down to the core. After all a woman’s hair is a part of who they are and how other people judge their beauty. A man can simply go to the bald is beautiful club seamlessly, as his male and some female friends tell him how much they love his new masculine look. In this article titled “Important Facts About Female Hair Loss” we will explore female balding and along with female hair loss treatment options.
In many instances thinning and balding is a temporary occurrence caused by crash dieting, fever, too much bleaching or coloring, oral contraceptives, certain blood pressure medications, diabetes, chemotherapy drugs, surgery, hypo or hyperthyroidism, large doses of vitamin A, physical stress, bacterial or fungal scalp infection or psychological stress. All of these types of female balding and thinning tend to reverse themselves once the instigating condition has been cured, treated, modified, or runs its course. In these cases a female hair loss treatment consisting of a topical formula containing natural ingredients such as pumpkin seed oil, almond oil, and jojoba oil can prove helpful in both conditioning the hair and scalp while stimulating regrowth.
On the other hand permanent balding and thinning can occur from hereditary and hormonal issues. The most common of these is known as female pattern baldness also called female pattern hair loss. But whatever you call this condition it is stubborn, progressive, and difficult to effectively treat.
If you are close to a mirror lets take a look together. Are you noticing thinning on top or a general thinning rather than a complete loss of hair? Is your hairline pretty much staying intact? Is your hair loss generally in frontal areas of the scalp? If you answered yes to these questions chances are good that you are being victimized by female pattern baldness.
Finding a female hair loss treatment
There are a number of excellent female hair thinning and balding treatments formulated to address the special needs of women with suffering the devastating effects of female pattern baldness. Generally speaking to be effective they must be successful at reducing or blocking the androgen hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This can be done by blocking or limiting its access to the follicle or by targeting the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT (5 alpha reductase type 2). While the popular prescription medication Propecia works in the second way it is not approved for use by women.
Of the natural options perhaps the one with the most scientific research supporting its effectiveness is nettle root extract and this is an ingredient you should look for when searching for a female hair loss treatment.
What Next? Doing nothing is not a viable option due to the progressive nature of female pattern baldness. There are actually some excellent female hair loss treatments containing nettle root extract as well as other ingredients designed to stimulate dead hair follicles and promote healthy hair growth. These female hair loss treatments have proven particularly effective when combined with proper nutrition (diets high in protein and B vitamins) and a topical hair regrowth stimulator; either natural containing pumpkin seed extract and jojoba oil or the pharmaceutical product Minoxidil (Rogaine).
