Best Hair Loss Treatment

Would you believe that the average person has about 100,000 strands of hair on their head? Naturally, any male pattern baldness in women or other balding in women for that matter is most unwelcome. That’s because baldness robs us of our natural appeal and beauty to some degree. But don’t despair for you can regain your natural look by stopping pattern baldness and restoring the growth of your hair. First, let’s talk a bit about how hair grows.

The Hair Growth Process

Imagine the hair follicle to be like a planter below the scalp. From these follicles the hair shaft grows. For hair to grow properly, it needs nourishment. This comes via the follicle from the blood supply to the scalp. Interestingly, hair growth follows a natural repeating cycle. Each cycle has a growth phase and a resting phase.

At any given time about 90% of your hair is in the active phase of growth. The other 10% is in the resting state. Growth occurs for between two and seven years, while resting spans eight to sixteen weeks. At the end of the resting phase, fresh growth displaces the hair in the resting state and replaces it as new hair.

From this you can see that some hair loss is natural and the growth process is a continual renewal and replacement cycle. As a matter of fact we should lose an average of 100 hairs a day bacause of this ongoing growth cycle. Of course if you’re producing more hair than you’re losing there’s no need to worry. But if the opposite happens, hair loss becomes a real problem and thinning hair will result. This type of hair loss is referred to as Alopecia also known as Pattern Baldness.

Balding In Women – Why?

Clinical studies have established that 95% of all balding is due to Androgenetic Alopecia. This big name suggests a combination of two factors at work. One factor is hormone related and the other, genetic inheritance. The implication here is that male pattern baldness in women is passed on by heredity. It’s in your genes.

Although this form of hair loss afflicts men primarily, it is also seen in women. Hence the term male pattern baldness in women. This problem becomes evident first when you start losing hair at the temples. The balding advances over the top of the head. In time, full baldness can set in leaving hair only around the sides and at the back of the head. When this pattern baldness occurs in women, the pattern is different from that in men. For women the hair loss is not in spots as described above. Rather a thinning occurs more or less uniformly throughout the head and is referred to as a loss of hair density.
While several hormones play a part in the hair growth process, Testosterone and its derivative DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) have the most profound influence in causing the hair follicles to shrink in size thus impairing the growth of hair and producing male pattern baldness in women as well as men.

The presence of DHT in the scalp also interferes with the active hair growth phase causing more hairs to be shed than are produced.
Of one thing we can be certain: General balding in women as well as male pattern baldness in women are not to be blamed on the sufferers. No indeed! Wearing a hat, brushing your hair, teasing it or sitting out in the heat of the sun do not cause this type of hair loss. As seen above the real culprit in 95% of the cases of such hair loss is the presence of DHT and hereditary factors. But all is not lost because it is possible to regrow your own hair and recover your crown of beauty while restoring your self confidence and self esteem.
