Female hair loss is not as uncommon as you might think. In most cases, the cause is sensitivity to an androgen or male hormone called DHT. The sensitivity is believed to be genetic, but it is still treatable.
DHT or Dihydrotestosterone is formed from free floating testosterone in the bloodstream. It binds to receptors on the follicles and shrinks them. They will slowly die and researchers have not proven, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that they can be brought back to life. But, DHT can be stopped.
Researchers have looked at a number of DHT antagonists in the search for a cure for male pattern baldness. Many of the treatments cannot be used by women of child-bearing age, because they could cause birth defects, by interfering with normal hormone production.
You might say that it is lucky that most female hair loss occurs during or after menopause. If the woman begins to use an effective DHT antagonist early enough, the shrinkage and subsequent death of the follicles can be prevented.
A topically applied DHT antagonist called Minoxidil can be used safely by women of all ages at a
concentration of 2%. Research has shown that the solution has minimal to moderate effectiveness in over 50% of volunteers that use it twice daily for a period of six months.
Manufacturers and researchers caution that using the product more than twice a day does not improve results and can actually contribute to balding. They also advise "patience".
If you see a product that claims to provide results in an instant, you are looking at a scam. The follicles naturally go through stages of growth and dormancy throughout our lives. If you are already starting to suffer from female hair loss, it does not necessarily mean that the follicles have been killed by DHT. They could merely be going through a dormant stage. With the proper care, they can reenter the growth stage.
In order to stimulate the follicles to start producing once again, you need certain nutrients. Unlike Minoxidil, which is applied directly, these nutrients are taken orally. They include biotin, vitamin B6 and magnesium.
Believe it or not, magnesium deficiencies are on the rise in the US, particularly among older people. Part of the problem is refined and processed foods. The other problem is that the body simply does not absorb nutrients as well, as time goes by.
Many other factors could contribute to female hair loss, including various medical problems and prescription medications. If you are currently under a doctor's treatment, ask him or her about the side effects. Could the alopecia (hair-loss) be a side effect?
Even some of the popular anti-depressants can cause alopecia. It might be possible to change your medication or adjust the dosage.
Women that have a family history of baldness might want to consider using Minoxidil, before they notice a problem.
Since there are no negative side effects, it can be used to prevent female hair loss, as well as treat it, as long as you follow the directions.
