2 Pregnancy - Some women do go through a period of hair loss after giving birth. The body goes through a lot of changes during a pregnancy, but luckily these changes are temporary.
This period of hair loss in pregnant women is known as telogen effluvium and normally lasts anywhere from one to five months. Hair loss should lessen and hair should begin to regrow about three or four months after it begins.
Ways to Stop the Loss and Get Back the Hair
Vitamin Supplements. Certain vitamins supplements have an effect on the things that grow and make healthy hair. For instance,shox danmark (http://www.sportssko.net/nike-shox-sko-skodanmark_57), vitamin A makes sebum,Replica bags (http://www.replicabagsgreece.com/), which is the oil that keeps the hair and scalp from becoming dry. Excessive dryness can add to the hair loss issue.
1 Hormones - An imbalance of hormones as a result of menopause can cause women to lose their hair. In fact,mont blanc pen prices (http://www.montblancsingapore.com), most female hair loss occurs during and after menopause. This hair loss can be permanent.
Male pattern baldness, or more scientifically put, androgenic alopecia, is the main cause of hair loss in men. Male pattern baldness is most likely genetic, something inherited from father or even from your mother's father.
There are a few things that can help the temporary hair loss that women go through.
What Causes Hair Loss in Women?
Losing hair is something that no one likes to face. Men are more likely to accept it as part of being a man, but a lot of men also try some of the hair loss cures or hair regrowth treatments. For women, it's a different story. Not many women are willing to put up with hair loss and both sexes are turning to treatments to reduce or stop the balding.
Vitamin C is helpful for the production of collagen,spyder jakke (http://www.northfacenorge.com/spyder), which is essential for healthy hair.
During the normal human hair growth cycle, only about 90 percent of hair is growing at a time. The remaining 10 percent goes through a 'rest period'. Each two to three months, that hair that has been at rest will fall out and new hair replaces it. During pregnancy, more than the usual 10 percent of hair goes into that state of rest at one time. This is due to the raised hormone levels that happen during pregnancy.

3 Another cause of female hair loss that is known as traction alopecia is simply caused by constantly wearing severe hairstyles like tight braids and ponytails. These pull the hair too tightly and can shock the hair follicles just enough to hold back hair growth.
For men with male pattern baldness and women who are losing their hair through menopause, probably one of the most common treatments are topical creams or foams that contain Minoxidil. This is an FDA approved substance that has been in use for years. What Minoxidil does is keep the damaging hormones from going after and destroying the hair follicles. Treatments containing Minoxidil can be very effective. Some people do have reactions to the chemical that cause the scalp to break out.
Vitamins B and E are both great for oxygenating the scalp in order to support healthy hair growth.
Men or women with severe hair loss also have the option of hair transplantation. This is a surgical procedure in which pieces of skin that contain healthy hair follicles are removed from one part of the body and grafted to balding areas of the scalp. While hair transplants can be very successful, the cost may be prohibitive for some. This normally requires somewhere between 1500 and 4000 grafts.
For women, there are a variety of things that can cause hair loss and it is becoming so common that it is often referred to as 'female pattern baldness'. The main reasons that women may suffer from hair loss are:
At the root of this type of genetically-based hair loss are certain hormones. Men have a hormone called androgen. The body contains enzymes that attack androgen and convert it into another hormone known as dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This DHT hinders the natural hair growth cycle by causing damage to hair follicles. This damage weakens the hair follicles with each growth cycle that hair goes through. Eventually the follicles may completely stop making hair completely.
