Women Hair Loss Tips – Your Awareness to prevent it permanently









































Women are used to their hair clogging drains and laying wispy blankets on the bathroom floor. But when your ponytail starts to look startlingly skinny or you're showing more scalp than you'd like, it can be worth seeking help for a common but often neglected problem:female pattern baldness.



Hair loss also can be a sign of a hormone disorder, such as polycystic ovary syndrome or a thyroid imbalance, and it's a symptom of many illnesses, from anemia to syphilis, but those usually are also accompanied by other symptoms.



Though hair loss isn't usually a sign of a serious health problem, it can be psychologically devastating.



Losing Hair can be stabilized 80 percent of the time with treatment like boosting estrogen, such as by taking estrogen-dominant birth control pills, or blocking testosterone, such as by taking medicines containing finasteride (Propecia) or spironolactone (Aldactone).



Other people turn to minoxidil (Rogaine), a nonhormonal topical solution that can stimulate hair growth.



A new treatment is to add a bit of estrogen to a minoxidil formulation, though there's not yet solid evidence that it works, Reed said.



Exercise regularly and eat enough protein to keep your hormones in balance.



Recommends supplements like, zinc, iron, B vitamins and 5,000 micrograms daily of biotin (vitamin B7), which is known to strengthen hair and nails.



Wash your hair at least every other day; otherwise, you could shed scalp and inflame the hair follicles.
