Causes Of Hair Loss In Women Top 8 Causes Of Hair Loss In Women

Help!  I Don't Have to Tear My Hair Out Anymore – It's All Over My Sink!

You see, we lose hair everyday, 100-150 strands actually, simply from brushing and manipulating.  If you have long hair, this can look like a lot, but, considering the amount of hair on a head, it's a tiny amount.  If hair is coming out in clumps, or you notice circular patches of balding spots, however, there is definitely a problem, and treatment will be based upon the specific cause. The following causes should be investigated if you are experiencing more-than-normal hair loss:

1. Diet:  An unbalanced diet, especially one without enough protein, can cause temporary hair loss.  Women who are anemic often experience loss.

2. Menopause:  Because of the change in hormones during this period, hair loss can escalate, and, unfortunately, this can be permanent. 

3. Frequent Shampooing:  Shampoos contain a lathering ingredient called surfactant.  This can be irritating to the scalp and cause itching and scratching, thus increased hair loss.

4. Improper Care:  If you manipulate your hair too much, color and treat too much, blow dry and heat with curling irons and hot rollers too much, you will see increased hair loss.  You need only to look at your bathroom floor, sink and countertops to notice this.  Slow down!

5. Psychological/Physiological Stress:  Increased hair loss can occur with pregnancies, major surgery, or a major life event, such as a death or divorce.  These causes are temporary and hair growth will return to normal eventually.

6. Heredity:  Heredity plays a part and comes from both sides of the family.

7. Other Health Conditions:  Thyroid problems, lupus, and diabetes can accelerate hair loss.  Obviously, these need to be diagnosed by a physician.

8.  Alopecia Areata:  This is an autoimmune condition characterized by circular patches of baldness.  Basically, the body is attacking the hair follicles.  Cortisone shots in the affected areas are required, and the earlier the better.Take heart.  There's a lot of research going on which may soon resolve most of the causes of hair loss in women. However, there is a great product that has been proven effective. It is called Provillus. Provillus is an oral supplement, which works to block DHT, a form oftestosterone that is responsible for 95 percent of hair loss. It also works to stimulate the scalp and bring dead follicles back to life.

You can use Provillus as a preventative tool, starting the program before hair loss becomes severe, or you can use it after DHT has already begun to take hold of your hair and scalp.

Answer
If your taking a proper multi-vitamin and doing everything else right in terms of diet and exercise you might want to try sulfur. It has been used by alopecia patients to regrow hair. Sulfur is a natural chemical element and is used in a lot of hair growth aids. It has a really bad smell, like smoked bacon.
Try boundless tresses or MTG. They are both really good hair growth aids. If you do buy it, test some on the back of your hair to make sure your not alergic and then if your not just continue the use. You can research and read reviews on both products if you google their names.
