What is the Most Effective Way to Handle Women's Hair Loss?

By Samantha Smith


Hair loss is equally traumatic for men and women alike. If your are a man you have many more options available to you because people have been working for years to find solutions for your issue. Women on the other hand are more limited. Up to a few years ago it was considered taboo for a woman to discuss her hair loss with anyone other than her physcian and even then it was frowned upon. Since women are now becoming more open about this issue the solutions are also "coming out" to help women cope with hair loss too. Suprisingly enough there are many more options for women now than there are for men. See below for a few interesting ways women are dealing with the loss of their hair.

Men who have hair loss problems often take Rogaine. There is, however, a similar drug for women. The women's version, however, is called Minoxidil. Minoxidil, according to some research, may actually be more effective in treating women's hair loss than Rogaine is for men's. This is a drug that is applied topically, and simply by putting it on your head it helps to stimulate hair growth. Minoxidil is actually the only drug for hair growth that is FDA approved.

If you really want to shock the people in your life, shave your head!

When men notice that their hair is thinning out, they often just shave it off. If men can do this, why not women? Women being bald is something that is becoming increasingly accepted by society. Of course, this can get cold in the winter and you will have to take care to protect your scalp from sunburns. On the other hand, you won't have to worry about washing your hair. You won't have to purchase shampoo or hair conditioners. You should, however, know that your scalp will itch when your hair begins to grow again. Try to keep from scratching or you could have to deal with scalp scabs as well as hair loss!

If you can conceive the notion, some women can totally keep hair loss problems from happening by practicing appropriate hair care for their hair types. Talk to your hairstylist about the kind of hair you have and the most beneficial way to care for it. Be sure to pamper your scalp often! A pampered scalp is a happy scalp. A pleased scalp is more prone to grow the hair you want to grow!

There are lots of ways to treat and deal with women's hair loss. The more analyzing you do, the more apt you'll be in uncovering a technique that will work for you. However, prior to testing anything out, you should consult your physician to be sure your selected technique of coping with your hair loss is safe. Remember-your hair loss could simply be a symptom of something else. This is why you should always seek professional medical advice. Hope all goes well! You'll find what you are looking for if you just keep looking!.
