Did you know that many women lose their hair? It's true, menopause and hair loss is not a myth and in fact, is not uncommon. Most people never think that this problem affects women, as it is so normal and so common in men. But, the fact remains that many women fall victim to this. Unfortunately, as this problem is not as common in women as it is in men, women find it to be quite difficult to deal with. Also, you should know that women do not lose their hair in the same way that men do. For men, their male pattern baldness either begins with a receding hairline or a bald spot at the top of the head. This usually extends further and results in very thin hair remaining at the top, or a horseshoe with complete baldness forming on the top of the head. Women-pattern baldness is typically the thinning of the hair on the top of the scalp. For many, it can get quite thin, leaving women feeling very insecure and trying different hairstyles to conceal the problem. Unfortunately, they usually opt for styles which can further damage hair follicles, leading to more thinning. Do you know any women who are going through menopause and hair loss? It is a trying time for them. Not only are they having to deal with the hormonal changes that come with menopause, they are also dealing with an embarrassing and emotionally crushing problem. In the past, women either teased their hair, pulled it back in pony tails, or permed it to hide their secret. But, now there is something that can be done to treat this problem. In fact, if it is caught in time, hair can be regrown by using the proper treatment. If not, then at least it can help maintain the amount of hair you have. Rest assured, there are healthy ways to deal with menopause and hair loss.About the Author:
