Hair Loss Can be Reversed

Published: Tuesday 20 July, 2010

Thinning scalp hair may be linked to hormonal imbalance, medication or simply harsh treatment. Fish oils and herbs could help to regain your crowning glory.

Alopecia , or hair loss from the head or other parts of the body, affects both men and women. When the scalp is affected, unlike men who may experience a receding hairline or balding, women are more likely to have a general thinning of hair.ghd pink

Some hair loss is normal, with the average woman shedding up to 100 hairs each day. Hair growth begins in follicles just under the skin. For approximately 4 years, each strand of hair grows about half an inch a month. Then there is a resting phase for a few months before the hair naturally falls out. The follicle produces a new hair to replace the one that is shed but there may be a delay, depending on the health of the follicle, or due to other causes.

Common Causes of Alopecia in Women

An important consideration in female hair loss is genetic predisposition. pink ghd

Imbalance of hormones in the hair follicles can lead to hair loss and also changes in growth. For example, overactive or underactive thyroid can affect hair. A simple test in the doctor’s office can identify thyroid problems and by correcting the hormone imbalance you may stop the hair loss.

During pregnancy, some women find that their hair is thick and glossy, with high levels of certain hormones causing the scalp to keep hair that would normally fall out. However, when the hormones return to normal, about 3 months after the birth of the baby, hair falls out and the normal cycle of shedding and growth starts again.

Hair loss may be connected to stress experienced during illness or surgery. This is usually temporary and in most cases the hair returns to normal as the stress and anxiety decrease.ghd purple

Some medication can cause hair loss, with the most obvious being chemotherapy used to treat cancer. Other medicines that may cause hair loss include anticoagulants, antidepressants and birth control pills.

An underlying illness such as lupus, polycystic ovarian syndrome, or diabetes may be the cause of hair loss.

Perms, hair straighteners, bleaching, dyeing and heated styling tools can all cause the hair to become brittle and to break off near the scalp. Regularly pulling the hair back into a tight pony tail can also cause the hairs to break.ghd straighteners online

How to Prevent Hair Loss

Avoid shampoos with harsh detergents such as sodium lauryl sulfate and ammonium laureth sulfate. These dry the hair and cause it to become fragile. Choose products made from olive oil and decyl polyglucose which is derived from corn.

A lack of the essential fatty acids (EFAs), needed for healthy cell membranes, can contribute to hair loss. Fish oils are the most common dietary sources of EFAs and can help to keep the hair in good condition.

If hair loss begins around the onset of menopause, hormonal balance can be maintained with herbs containing plant-based estrogens. These include dong quai, black cohosh, sage and damiana.

Approximately 1 in 7 people in USA are concerned about this distressing and embarrassing condition. Read about surgical and non surgical solutions for alopecia, or look for a hair loss support group. If hair loss is excessive or accompanied by other symptoms, consult your doctor.ghd mk4 gold

Stay safe

Remember, your ghd IV styler is an electrical appliance and the plates achieve very high temperatures (typically 180oC). So you need to be sensible and safe.

For example:

Never use the ghd IV styler in the bathroom, over washbowls or near water.
Never touch the plates when they are hot.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instructions concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Use styling aids and spray products away from the iron. Never spray directly onto the styler.

You should always inspect your ghd IV styler before you use it. If the styler, power cord or plug are damaged, do not use the styler and seek professional advice from an electrician.

Cherish and protect

Your ghd IV styler is a robust, state-of-the-art product. Cherish it with the love and care it deserves and you will be rewarded with long, devoted service.

Always switch your styler off and unplug it after use
Do not allow the hot plates to touch textiles, plastic materials, or heat-sensitive surfaces
Always ensure that the hot plates do not come into contact with the supply cord: this could melt away the insulation and risk electrocution
Never leave a hot styler unattended
Always allow the plates to cool before storing
When the styler has cooled, fold the supply cord in the same way as it was first delivered in its packaging. Do not wind it around your hand or the body of the styler and your styler will deliver the results every time
When the styler is not in use, always lay it on a flat heat-resistant surface. Never hang the styler by its cable
