Female hair loss
Nearly 40 million females in the United States experience female pattern hair loss, medically termed adrogenetic alopecia.
Andro is taken from the hormone androgen, which is not a sole trait of males. Genetic- Female pattern hair loss is inherited from the mother or father's side of the family. Either may carry the dominant gene, which triggers hair loss. Couple these ingredients with a particular age when your genetic alarm clock goes off, and female pattern baldness begins.

The onset of hair loss
With an average head of hair containing over 100,000 individual hairs, most women do not notice their hair loss until they have already lost up to a fourth of the total number of hairs on their scalp. It is at this point when
Low, Level Laser Treatments are most effective.
When hair loss is noticed, the panic light often goes on. Even though it is normal to lose up to a hundred hairs a day, each lost hair now noticed is often chipping away at one’s self esteem.
Many ask themselves the following questions:

Different Traits
Female pattern hair loss exhibits different traits than the male with the females hair loss being diffuse. Most women are fortunate enough to be able to retain frontal hairlines. (Although no amount of hair loss is desired.) Females do not usually exhibit totally bald areas as do their male counterparts.

Other causes of women's hair loss are pregnancy and menopause. At these times the male hormones tend to have more of an effect because there's less estrogen in a woman's body. Three to six months after delivering a child, many women will notice some degree of hair loss.

Another type of hair loss is called alopecia areata, sudden round bald spots will be noticed. Its cause is believed to be an imbalance of the immune system. Alopecia totalis is total hair loss of the scalp. Alopecia universalis is loss of all body hair. For most, the hair will re-grow back on its own. For more information on this and other types of hair loss Contact us at 903-561-9697 for a free private consultation appointment.

Trichotillomania- A obsessive compulsive disorder which involves the pulling out of one's own hair. This condition is usually seen in pre-teen and teenage girls and is often unconscious to the individual. The condition can effect women of all ages. Trichotillomania can appear as alopecia areata and is in fact, often mis-diagnosed as such. New medications and treatments are available for the condition. For more information contact us at 903-561-9697 for a free private consultation appointment.

DIET- Top Dermatologists state that diet plays a very minimal role in female pattern hair loss. Any normal diet will insure you of enough proteins and nutrients to adequately provide the nourishment needed for hair growth. Diet will more likely effect the condition of the hair such as dry, dull, shiny, etc.

AGE & HAIR LOSS- As women age, they lose estrogen which stimulates hair growth. More androgens are present as we age which again are the main cause of the hair loss. As women age, longer hair becomes less flattering and with it's increased weight, often makes hair appear thinner rather than thicker. Stylists usually recommend shorter styles to add a thicker look to the hair along with adding gels, etc. Unfortunately, even those without female pattern hair loss begin to see changes in their hair as early as their thirties. Grey hairs begin to sprout and hair begins to gradually get dryer and thinner in texture as we age. With hair loss it is especially important that precautions are taken to avoid excessive exposure to the sun. Hats, caps & scarves offer much needed protection.

When hair is wet it can be vulnerable to damage.
Avoid sharp, fine tooth combs when hair is wet.
Wide toothed combs are strongly suggested. In longer lengths always begin at ends and work up to scalp while hair is wet.
Avoid excessively hot showers. (They dry out the scalp and promote dandruff).
Don't share combs and brushes with others.
Use the appropriate shampoo and conditioner.
Texture and condition are the two main essentials in determining your hair care products. Texture is usually divided in three stages: fine, medium and coarse. Hair that is chemically treated should be classified as dry.
Condition also is divided in three main categories: dry-normal and oily.
Many experts advise individuals to switch shampoo types periodically. One week use a conditioning/moisturizing shampoo to treat dry, dull hair. The next use a protein formula to add body to the hair.
Avoid using the highest heat settings on blow dryers.
Avoid hair weaving, tight pony tails or braids which keep a tension on the hair. (These can cause permanent hair loss).
Don't use regular rubber bands in the hair.

Although chemicals such as perms and colors do not cause hair loss they do damage the hair. The less chemical usage the better for healthy hair. Consult with a professional for perms, color, bleaches, etc. Always use patch tests on the skin prior to chemical applications to insure against allergic reactions.
