 For women hair loss can be
temporary or long lasting. Hair loss that
could have been temporary may become permanent
merely because of indecision or inaction.
The potential for reversal of hair loss is
greatest when hair loss is most recent.
Perhaps as frustrating as actually losing hair
is the stigma associated to women's hair loss.
The information below may help guide you to
action sooner rather than later.
Female Pattern Hair Loss and Its
Treatment
The
majority of women who suffer from hair loss have
diffuse thinning on all areas of the head.
Men on the other hand, rarely have diffuse
thinning but instead have thinning in the front,
top, and crown areas. Androgenetic
alopecia, commonly called female pattern
baldness, is the cause of this type of hair loss
and was only partially understood
until the last few decades. For many
years, scientists thought that androgenetic
alopecia was caused by the predominance of the
male sex hormone, testosterone, which women have
in trace amounts under normal conditions.
While testosterone is at the core of the balding
process, it is now known that
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is the main culprit.
DHT, a derivative of the male hormone
testosterone, is the enemy of hair follicles on
your head. Simply put, under certain
conditions DHT wants those follicles dead.
This simple action is at the root of many kinds
of hair loss.
Testosterone converts to DHT
with the aid of the enzyme Type II 5-alpha
reductase, which is he ld
in a hair follicle's oil glands.
Scientists now believe that it's not the amount
of circulating testosterone that's the problem
but the level of DHT binding to the receptors in
the scalp follicles. DHT shrinks hair
follicles making it impossible for healthy hair
to survive.
Menopause and Hair Loss: After
menopause many women will experience symptoms of
hair loss, as well as an increased amount of
facial hair. When a woman enters into menopause,
or loses her period due to a high level of
physical activity or dieting, her estrogen
levels drop. Before menopause, estrogen binds excess
testosterone to proteins called globulins and
lowers the freeform testosterone levels in the
blood. Lowered levels of estrogen thus
allow free testosterone levels to rise, and thus
lead to increased levels of DHT the hormone that
kills hair follicles.
Our natural and
herbal hair loss treatment can curb
hair loss and prompt regrowth because of its
ability to interfere with DHT's follicle-killing
mission by either inhibiting 5-alpha reductase,
and therefore the amount of DHT that can be
created out of testosterone, or by inhibiting
DHT's ability to bind to receptors in hair
follicles.
