Most women suffer excessive hair thinning at some time in their lives. Often it follows child-birth and occasionally an illness. Stress can induce hair loss as can dieting or a poor diet generally. \n\nChanges in the hormone levels in the body causes some thinning of the hair in more than half of all women in this country and still more have hair loss in the form of breakage due to the use of poor quality hair products. \n\nIn many cases it is temporary and the hair will grow back normally without, any help. In others, however, the excessive hair fall, if not treated, will lead to permanent baldness. \n\nSo it is vital that the cause of the problem is discovered and the disorder corrected \n\n\nHAIR LOSS CAUSED BY HORMONAL IMBALANCE \n\nBy far the most common type of hair loss experienced by women is that caused by the effect of certain hormones upon the hair \n\nThese hormones enter the hair cells and pre-vent them from growing as well as they should, this results in the characteristic thinning on the front and top of the scalp. The scalp begins to grow finer hairs and the scalp becomes more visible. There is usually a general loss of "condition" resulting in the hair becoming lank and difficult to control. \n\nThis form of hair loss affects 10% of women between the ages of 18-40, 25% by the age of 50 and a staggering 60% by the age of 70. In many women it is a minor problem and is easily disguised, but other women find it very distressing and lose their self confidence and self esteem. \n\nIn the past nothing could be done to prevent this problem occurring but now there are substances which can stop the hair from thinning and can produce a better quality of hair in most women. The treatment consists of using a very low level (and perfectly safe) hormone cream and lotion which are applied externally to the affected region of the scalp. \n\nAs with most disorders, the earlier the treatment is started the better the results are likely to be. Approximately 30% of people visiting the Trichological Centre are women who suffer from this hair loss problem. \n\n\n\nIn virtually every case the hair loss is stopped and the hair growth greatly improved. It is a safe and inexpensive method of combating an all too common and distressing problem. \nA hair in the follicle. Close up of the bulb showing cellular activity \n\nDIET AND HAIR LOSS \n"We are what we eat," as the saying goes. This is particularly true when it comes to our hair. our hair is affected by what we eat, or do not eat. At the Trichological Centre we constantly see the results of poor diets and crash dieting. \n\nBasically, hair has no useful function. The body can work just as well whether it has hair or not. So if the body is short of any nutrient, protein, mineral, iron etc; it will divert these from the hair to nourish the more important body organs. The result can be a Diffuse Hair Loss \n\nLow iron levels (which may not be true clinical iron anaemia) can cause a marked thinning of hair and women are more susceptible to this because of the loss of iron in the blood due to menstruation. Vegetarian diets can cause hair loss unless specific attention is given to the balance of proteins and iron rich foods. \n\nThe best advise for producing healthy hair is eat a well balanced diet, of protein, carbohydrates and minerals. Go easy on processed and convenience foods. \n\nA Trichologist can help you in this area by making sure there are no specific foods in your diet which are causing problems. \n\nSTRESS RELATED HAIR LOSS. \n\nStress is blamed for causing all types of problems, some times this is true, sometimes it is not. We all suffer from "highs and lows," in our lives. It is important that body stress levels are kept as low as possible. It may not be possible to remove the cause of our stress but there are ways that we can learn to cope with it successfully. \n\nHair loss and stress are inexorably linked. \n\nThere is reasonable scientific e

Many people don't realize that hair loss is a problem, even for women. It is particularly distressful, and I sympathize with you since you've already got a plate full of stressors. The good news is there is help. There are all kinds of medical remedies available. If you're serious about remedying hair loss, see your doctor. You can also take steps to preserve the hair your have. One easy thing, only comb your hair from roots to ends. Anything else tangles and then pulls out hair in the detangling process. Follow this pattern also when you wash and condition your hair. Also, keep your hair cut short as weight will also increase fallout. Finally, Mane and Tail shampoo seem to help, and some judicious use of hair gel will make the hair you have seem thicker. \n\nBeyond all of that, find a way to squeeze some time for yourself into your hectic schedule. Do something that relaxes you -- read a book, window shop with a friend, just sit and enjoy a cup of coffee on the porch. You have to take care of yourself or all of your body systems will suffer. Believe me, I've been there. Take care of you so you are able to take care of the important relationships you have -- with your children. \n\nSending you tons of good wishes,\n~Tia~

There's no real permanent cure unfortunately.\nThe only solution if it bothers you that much is to keep a clean shaven face... or even go as extreme as bleaching your hair on your head lighter... Blonde perhaps. The your grey won't be so predominant.

Not yet.  A few products slow it down by strengthening the hair root, like rogaine and some natural homeopathic stuff, but there's nothing you can do to eventually stop it.  \n\nShave your head!

You might want to start with Nioxin products, and then if no luck move on to minoxodil (Rogaine).  There is also a drug that inhibits Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) called Propecia.  DHT is the main reason people go bald.

First try to find out the reason why you are losing hair. \n\nThere are a prety common reasons why one loses hair, they are due to \n* Dandruff\n* Fungal infection on your scalp \n* Hormonal change in your body\n* Heirditary problem i.e your fathers or forefathers being bald (even then this affects you only when you are over 30   years)\n* Else there maybe some other problem in your body that is being reflected in your hair. Like being affected by typhoid , jondise or some other dieases that genreally affects hair.\n\nIf you are affected by Dandruff alone then you are propably suffering from itching on your scalp and hairfall\n\nBefore i go on to the treatment, let me make one thing clear dandruff is one thing that will keep coming on again and again and the treatment has to be taken for life.\n\n1) Grind ginger and lemon seeds to a paste, apply it on your hair before you go to sleep and in the morning wash it off with cold water. This has to be done on a daily basis since its effect will last only for a day or two.\n\n2) Grind small onions to paste (its ok if u use a little water to grind) and apply in on your scalp for 2 to 3 hours then wash it off with cold water, this will revitalise hair growth and has a good effect over dandruff. This has to be done every week.\n\nIf you are having fungal infection on your hair ( a check up with a trychologist will tell you if u have fungal infection or not and the pattern of your baldness. Its also highly recommended that you go for a complete check up and analyse the defects on your hair) you would mostly suffer from \n\n# Thinning hair ( means that the thickness of a single hair becomes very less)\n# Brittleness of your hair\n# Rapid reduction in the desity of your hair\n# Weakness in the strength of hair roots\n\nWhen you are affected be fungal infection then you are sure to lose completely all the hairs on your head.\n\nIf you have both dandruff and fungal infection on your hair then you are sure to become bald in 8 to 10 months time. Trying any kind of shampoo will still result in more hairfall.  So its highly recommended that you tonsel your head for effective treatment. (the above given treatment has to be followed for fungal infection also)\n\nSome general tips\n\n# Always wash your head atleast once a day with cold water and never use hot water since it aggrevates dandruff\n\n# Message your head gently with equal mixture of aroma oil, olive oil, coconut oil and castor oil for a minimum for half an hour. This can be done every night or in the morning two hours before bath (this is highly recommended that this is done after tonselling your head since with dandruff and fungal infection your hair is not likely to withstand message)\n\n#  Consume a lot of food that is rich in Vitamin A like carrots, sweet potato etc. Its good to have a glass of carrot juice without sugar daily in the morning\n\n# Drink atleast a two glass of milk and lots of water daily\n\n# Have a lot of soya included in your food\n\n\nIt takes atleast 3 to 4 months to see improvements in your hair and only with persistance will the quality of your hair improve\n\nGood luck\n\nManoj
