Hair Regrowth in Women
Hair loss in women can be due to several things, some of them exclusive to women such as that which may occur after pregnancy and others more
general.
In the same way there are products that are specifically aiming at hair regrowth in women and others that are suitable for everyone.
The commonest cause is hereditary and in this case genes and hormones causing the hair follicles to shrink , interfering with their ability to
grow new hairs.
Rogaine for Women, which contains Minoxidil, is one product that has produced moderate rates of growth in some 19% or users. However
this is a long term result. You can expect to use the product for several months before regrowth is noticeable, simply because any hair
growth is a slow process – half an inch per month. It comes in the form of a spray. Side effects of using products such as Rogaine are possible.
These vary from a mild scalp irritation to more serious issues such as chest pain, so read any small print carefully. Also it is not recommended
if you are pregnant or breast feeding a child.
The producers suggest that you don’t use it if there is no family history of hair loss, so before spending your money consult your doctor to
ensure that the true cause of the problem is known. Hair loss can sometimes be due to serious, but treatable, conditions such as thyroid
deficiencies or diabetes. The commonest cause though is choosing the wrong parents – in the majority of cases hair loss is hereditary. Another
fairly common cause is traction alopecia – i.e. that caused by pulling on the hair roots. This can happen in certain hair styles or treatments ,
especially those that involve pulling the hair back tightly. The solution is simple – change your style.
Some products that are advertised sound really good- laser combs
for one. They promise healthy revitalised hair. They may well be right, as in February 2007 the American Food and Drugs Administration cleared
the HairMax Laser comb for the promotion of hair growth. The FDA has only ever approved two other products as solutions to combat hair
loss.
There are also products out there that don’t even tell you what their ingredients are - my guess
is that aqua ( water) would come high on their list, so beware. The only herbal product that actually seems to work is Saw Palmetto, a food
supplement that comes in a number of safe forms, with, for the majority, no side effects, The only adverse effects ever reported consist of mild
stomach irritation.
In many cases your hair loss is due to something temporary or treatable and so regrowth will occur. In other cases there is hope, but not all
products work for everyone and the worse the problem is it seems that the less likelihood there is of success, so if you wan t your hair to
regrow act earlier rather than later. And be patient.
