Best Women's Hair Loss Options

Women arent supposed to lose their hair

Women arent supposed to lose their hair. Theres a reason why its often called our crowning glorywe are conditioned to believe that long, shiny, flowing tresses are a necessary part of our feminine beauty. Sadly, theres a lot of shame and stigma attached to hair losseven more for women than for men, since its not supposed to happen to us at all! However, there are so many options for women today. Lets discuss some of the choices.

MedicationsBoth minoxidil and finasteride are clinically proven to re-grow hair. Minoxidil is readily available over-the-counter, so you have the option to treat thinning hair without seeing a physician or needing a prescription. There are side effectsdizziness is one, bodily and facial hair growth is another. Each of us can determine if these apply to us, and whether the benefits outweigh these possibilities. Finasteride is prescription only, and theres a little more of a trick to thisfinasteride is strictly for women who have NO chance of becoming pregnant. It is pregnancy category x, meaning that it can definitely result in severe birth defects (deformities in male fetuses). Obviously, with warnings like this, many women need to stay, literally, as far away from the pills as possible (even touching them can cause risks), but there are still a good number of women who are under no risk and may be able to use this medication to re-grow hair.

Hair Transplant Surgeryyes, this is available for us as well! Although its quite costly, transplant may be an even better option for women than it is for men since were less likely to need repeat procedures. Men who undergo transplant surgery can still progress farther toward utter baldnessgiving their transplant the appearance of an island in the middle of a sea of barren scull. It is more likely that we will thin at our crowns than for our hairline to recede down to our ears, so a single influx of follicles can provide great results.

Hair Replacementthis term refers to wigs or hairpieces. There has always been a subculture of wig-wearers. It is a completely acceptable method to add style and body to a womans hair, even if she is not experiencing any thinning! The styles and forms of hairpieces are nearly endless. You have the option of finding something that makes your hair look exactly like it used to, or getting something that makes your hair look better than it ever did!

Hair Treatmentsthese are cosmetic products that increase the thickness or appearance of hair strands, giving a fuller look. Treatments, thickeners, and scalp concealers are all inexpensive products that give instant results. As women, were comfortable with cosmetics that give us the appearance of fuller, longer, darker eyelashes, or unblemished skin. Perhaps its time that we familiarize ourselves with similar products for our hair!
