Posted by kelebek on December 11th, 2009

Female Hair LossHormonal changes and imbalances are among the leading causes of hair loss in women. Along with a great number of other known causes of female hair loss (including taking certain medications, poor and unhealthy nutrition, scalp infections and other diseases, incorrect or too aggressive hair care, genetic predisposition to female hair loss, and others), hormonal shifts and imbalances play a key role in causing premature hair loss in women. Fortunately, this most common cause of the problem is usually linked only to temporary hair loss, which can be treated and stopped.

Hormones are responsible for normal functioning of our body, and when their levels are normal, the normal and balanced function of the body and maintenance of our body systems is provided. At the same time, hormonal shifts and imbalances cause unexpected changes and can lead to various health problems, including hair loss. In particular, hormonal changes during pregnancy are connected with estrogen levels falling, and soon after childbirth, when hormone levels normalize, the woman usually experiences hair loss. In the most cases, it usually takes several months for the hair growth cycle to stabilize and hair loss to stop.

Menopause is another common health condition connected with hormonal shifts and imbalances causing temporary hair loss. During the period of menopause, the levels of estrogens and progesterone in the woman’s body frequently change and fluctuate, affecting normal hair follicle development and hair growth cycle. As a result, the majority of women notice hair thinning on the crown and hair loss during perimenopause and menopause periods. Similar hormonal changes can be caused by using some medications, in particular, birth control pills. Any changes in birth control routine usually cause temporary hair loss, which stops within a few months. Finally, hormonal shifts causing temporary female hair loss can be also linked to abnormal activities of the thyroid gland.

If you are currently experiencing a type of hair loss and thinning caused by hormonal shifts and imbalances, don’t panic and don’t be stressed out. In the majority of the situations such type of female hair loss can be stopped in few months after the condition is gone and hormonal shifts subside. Usually it does not take more than 6 months, and then your hair growth cycle will be restored. Female hair loss can be an embarrassing and frustrating thing to face, however, if the problem is linked to hormonal changes, it can be treated and combated. Therefore, in this difficult period of your life you should be patient and use special hair styling techniques to add more volume to your hair until your normal hair growth pattern is restored.

The extracts of such plants as rosemary, caraway or equisetum can be used for rinsing your hair (1-2 teaspoon for 5 liters of water) and help you to lower the activity or sebaceous glands on your scalp. You can use sage tea (1-2 tablespoons of dried sage boil in 400 ml of water for 10-15 minutes, cool down the tea and rinse your hair in it after washing). Also, you can use burdock oil, which is one of the best herbal remedies to improve your hair condition.

Posted by kelebek on October 16th, 2009

iron deficiencyIron deficiency is one of the leading causes of female type hair loss (especially in non-menopausal women) and if you are losing hair, it can be caused by a lack of iron. Some specialists claim that this nutritional deficiency plays more important role as a factor causing hair loss, than such factors as hormonal shifts and ineffective hair care. Iron deficiency can be a result of blood loss, receiving insufficient amount of iron from the daily diet, or for inability of the body to absorb sufficient amounts of this chemical element.

There were numerous researches that proved the hypothesis about the importance of iron for normal hair development and growth. Several groups of specialists in Cleveland Clinic carried out an almost 40-year long study, the findings of which were published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology in 2006. After examining numerous cases and patients, the specialists came to the conclusion that there are very strong links between hair loss and lack on iron, and it is impossible to stop hair loss if the person’s level of iron in the blood is too low.

The experiments in the Cleveland Clinic were among the first researches if this issue. The scientists from Scalp Clinic and the University of Pennsylvania Hair were also studying the effects of having sufficient iron intake on effective hair growth and re-growth. Besides, for eight years French specialists at  French health and medical institute Inserm in cooperation with the experts from French cosmetics group L’Oreal were researching the effects of iron depletion and iron deficiency on hair loss by measuring the amounts of ferritin in blood.

Iron deficiency can be caused not only by blood loss due to injuries or insufficient iron intake, but also by such factors as pregnancy and menopause. It is essential to be aware about the levels of iron in the blood and keep it under control. There are numerous natural sources of iron, including apples, beans, red meat and other foods, which can help increase the content of iron in your body and slow down hair loss.
