Never has the problem of women's hair loss been so widespread and the solutions been more confusing. It is also my observation that this most recent phenomenon transverses all walks of life and professional pursuits.
That leaves us with a series of possibilities as to what the cause might be. There are a few question all women who are losing their hair should be asking themselves. Let's look at these:
*Do I have a family history of premature hair loss?
*Am I using any medications which could be contributing to my condition?
*Do I have circulatory problems; either known or suspected?
*I am continually placing myself under severe stress?
*Am I doing something which might be causing inflammation at a cellular level?
*Is it just my hair that is looking bad or is my skin's appearance deteriorating as well?
*I am supplying my body with plenty of vitamins, minerals, and water?
*Am I consuming adequate amounts of anti-oxidant rich foods?
In this article we are assuming that your disappearing hair is not caused by something obvious such as chemotherapy or pregnancy. Both of these are temporary and under normal circumstances will reverse themselves over time.
No, in this article we are talking about women's hair loss which is both permanent and progressive which when left untreated/unmanaged will end in a noticeable amount of balding over time.
How to reverse women's hair loss
It is my belief that what is happening in the vast majority of cases of women's hair loss is hair follicle damage due to inflammation in the body, combined with high accumulation levels of dihydrotestosterone (possibly occurring over a long period of time), and unbalanced nutrition. If this is indeed the case there are a number of simple steps that will help you regain your lost hair. Let's look at these steps.
*Add cucumber skins, radishes, parsley, and watercress to your diet a few times a week to reduce toxins and improve liver health.
*Add a vitamin B supplement to neutralize dangerous homocysteines, improve red blood cell health, and help with anemia.
*Make sure the shampoo/conditioner you are using is not too harsh and isn't clogging your scalp pores.
*Take a close look at any prescription medications you are taking and determine whether they could be a contributing factor. Remember all prescriptions are chemicals and produce a certain amount of internal inflammation. If you feel this could be the case talk to your doctor about possibly reducing the dosage or changing medications.
*Be aware that the harsh topical chemical treatments heavily marked for women's hair loss may cause extreme scalp sensitivity over time. This is a serious concern. If this occurs all past re-growth will be lost and balding will resume, possibly ending in hair loss being worse than when the treatment was first implemented.
*Consider one of a handful of all natural products for women's hair loss specially formulated to improve circulation, re-invigorate damaged hair follicles, and shield healthy hair follicles from dihydrotestosterone. There are both topical and oral products available. It is my observation that a combination of the two seems to be the most effective. If you had to pick one or the other I would suggest trying the oral formula first.
*If you shampoo your hair every day try to change this to ever other day.
*Make a conscious effort to reduce the amount of stress in your life. A good way to accomplish this would be to set aside 30 minutes a day for meditation, yoga, or a relaxing walk in the park.
In conclusion, by implementing the above steps you will not only be giving yourself a great change to reverse your balding or thinning hair but improve your overall mental and physical health as well.
