Hair Loss Treatment for Women



Australia, (Melbourne) -- (1-800-HAIRLOSS-TREATMENT.COM) -- {06/06/2013} – Beautiful women are always depicted in stories with long silky hair. The color may vary from blonde to black, even to brunettes and redheads. Even Disney Princesses usually have a common denominator: their ‘long silky smooth hair’.

From women’s perspective, there’s hardly anything worse than losing their hair! The majority of females feel upset and distressed when watching hair loss, which is not unusual by the way. Hairloss in women can be a very terrifying scenario.

That is the very reason women are always in search for some hair loss treatment. They will do whatever it takes to keep their attractiveness intact and by that, it only means going through the hassle and bustle to find the best hair treatment for hair loss. There are a number of treatments for women available in the market but if you like to effectively and definitely get rid of your hair loss problems without the use of chemicals or complicated procedures, well read on to know some natural hair loss treatments. The only drawback is that it might take you a while to see the results for some of the methods but the best point is, they are all safe and natural. Here’s some of the natural hair loss treatment that may work for you. Enjoy!

Hair Massage: Yes, giving yourself a daily massage can be very beneficial for your hair. A hair massage will stimulate the blood flow and improve circulation. This will feed your follicles and help your hair grow healthier. You can use a few drops of vitamin E oil to better strengthen the scalp. This method has almost no side effects and the cost is really low (it can also be at no cost if you decide not to use the vitamin E).

Essential oils: Aromatherapy is another safe, effective, and low-cost way to fight hair loss in women. The use of oils is one of the best of natural hair loss treatments. You need to prepare a mix of various oils, and then massage it into your scalp. Some of the best oils to regrow hair are Jojoba, Rosemary, and Basil oil. Lavender and soybean extracts also help stimulate hair growth. It’s not recommended to mix them as you please, though. You should consult with an aromatherapist for the best mixture for your type of hair.

Healthy Diet: Sometimes changing what you eat is all you need to stop and even reverse the hair loss process. Make sure your diet is rich in zinc, saw palmetto and vitamin B6 and that you eat enough eggs. The nutrients will benefit your hair.

Exercise: To further reduce the chances of hair loss, add an exercise program to your plan. Exercising will improve the delivery of the proper nutrients to your hair follicles and reduce the effects of stress on your body.

All-natural supplements: The ideal supplement to help your hair grow back must contain just the right amount of vitamin and minerals to stop your hair from falling. A good blend should include magnesium, Saw Palmetto, pumpkin extract, vitamin B7, silicon dioxide, vitamin B6, zinc, etc. The nourishing nutrients will stop your hair from falling and make it grow thicker. Provillus, for example, is a pill made of natural products which help fight hair loss.

Female Hair Loss

Australia, (Melbourne) -- (1-800-HAIRLOSS-TREATMENT.COM) -- {05/30/2013} -- Female hair loss is not as prevalent as in men. Female pattern baldness (FPB) affects 1 out of every 4 women and it does appear to be as common for women as for men. It’s believed that one cause of hair loss in women is caused by hormonal imbalances. Having an overactive or underactive thyroid gland may also cause thinning hair.

If you are looking for a hair loss product that caters to female hair loss, then you have come to the right place. There are tons of products out there that say they cure hair loss; the fact is there is no cure for hair loss and to think that a product can cure your hair loss is ridiculous. However, there are treatments and products that can stop it and even regrow your hair; but once the treatment is stopped, then your hair loss has every risk of coming back.

Related Articles: TheRight Hair Loss Treatment

The products that are worth talking about have been reviewed outlining the pros and the cons of each. This will give you more of a chance in choosing the right treatment for your alopecia.

Rogaine/Regaine(UK) – This product comes in an extra strength 5% form and in a 2% form. There is also an easy foam available that allows for quick drying which is convenient for people on the go. It is proven to be effective at regrowing hair in the first 6-12 months. Rogaine/Regaine is designed to stop hair loss immediately and diffuse thinning of the hair. Continuing treatment is necessary as the effects will generally wear off after a couple of months. It can be purchased over the counter so no prescriptions are required.

Laser Hair Brush - The laser hair brush is a new product on the hair loss scene. This is used by medical professionals for the treatment of female pattern hair loss, male pattern hair loss and the thinning of the hair. It uses Low Level Laser Therapy (Cold laser) to remove the blockages in the hair follicles allowing the hair to regrow naturally. This can also be used in conjunction with another hair loss treatment to maximize effectiveness and hair growth rate.

Provillus – a hair loss product that specifically treats the thinning of the hair or female hair loss.  It comes in tablet form and has a 30 day money back guarantee. Provillus is very new on the hair loss scene but has received a lot of rave reviews.

Finasteride – Also known as Procerin; it is an oral medication that is used as a hair loss treatment for men only.  This product works by inhibiting the hormone DHT, which is known to shrink the hair follicles by turning testesterone into the hormone DHT.  This medication has to be taken continuously, as ceasing taking this will result in the process of hair loss resuming.  Procerin is not an effective hair loss treatment for women unless their hair loss is due to DHT.

A hair loss product for men can be harmful for the treatment of female hair loss, so researching the facts when you are choosing a hair loss product is essential. Also, a hair loss product for women could treat different aspects of hair loss and not treat the DHT that is causing the alopecia in men. The bottom line is when buying the right  treatment, always execute vigilance in choosing what is best for you.

Leimo Formulated with Powerful Biogrowth System

The use of herbal remedies, including the herb fennel, classified as Foeniculum vulgare, are popular as an alternative to standard western allopathic medicine for a variety of problems, including digestion, over-weight, boosting metabolism as well as for stomach cramps. Fennel is also known as Foeniculum vulgare, and has certain therapeutic properties and the reported benefits of using it internally, in the form of a herbal tea (infusion). In making fennel herbal tea, the seeds are used for making the brew, but the roots are especially beneficial when treating urinary tract infection.

Fennel seeds also moisturize and condition color-treated hair, leaving it naturally shiny, vibrant, and full of color. The Leimo Bio Cleansing Shampoo has been specifically formulated with the powerful BioGrowth System that utilizes mistletoe and fennel ingredients to improve and moisturize the hair and scalp condition. This creates a healthy environment for thicker, fuller, and healthier looking hair. With every wash, the active natural concentrate cleanses the hair shaft and follicle from excess sebum, both deep within and on the surface of your scalp and hair.

The fennel is one of the most aromatic herbs used in the kitchen. Nothing goes better with a fish than a nice aromatic herb to season it, or to inspire a sauce. The fennel, one of the primary ingredients when making absinthe, is an incredible and highly aromatic herb, with both culinary and medicinal purposes.  Fennel is used for the following benefits: digestion, slimming and weight loss, detoxifier, boosting metabolism, stomach cramps, heartburn, helps with morning sickness, bloating, flushing the kidneys, helpful after chemotherapy and radiation.

Included in culinary traditions of many countries and regions of the globe, the fennel is a great seasoning ingredient for eggs, fish, salads, cheese or risotto. The Indians use it in their cookery, the Bengali cuisine, Pakistan and Germany. Fennel is healthy for the human intestines as it reduces bloating. It also improves eyesight and is an effective diuretic product.

About Biologix Hair Inc. and Biologix Hair Science Ltd.

Biologix Hair Inc. (Biologix Hair), together with its wholly owned biotechnology subsidiary, Biologix Hair Science Ltd. (TM) (BHS), is focused on realizing the full market potential for its patent-pending hair loss prevention and regeneration treatment - the Biologix Hair Therapy System(TM) - and its demonstrated ability to prevent and reverse the effects of alopecia, which plagues hundreds of millions worldwide.

Between mid-2004 and mid-2012, more than 30,000 pre-clinical-trial treatments of Biologix Revive - the essence of the Biologix Hair Therapy System(TM) - were administered to 5,000-plus patients in South America suffering with varying degrees of alopecia, as well as people seeking preventive treatment. The participating treatment clinicians subjectively observed and reported that virtually 100% of preventive care clients continued to retain their healthy hair and an estimated 80-85% of the males and 90-plus% of the females treated for hair regeneration experienced significant regrowth of their own natural hair. And among alopecia areata patients, virtually total hair regrowth was observed in 100% of the cases. To date, no negative side effects have been reported.

BHS is currently focused on obtaining FDA approval for its breakthrough hair loss prevention and regeneration therapy and has initiated a research and development program with one of the world's leading medical research universities, the Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT). The R&D program, expected to take approximately twelve months to complete, is an important final step before formal clinical trials and the FDA approval process begins.

Additionally, on May 11, 2012, Venable LLP, the Washington-based law firm overseeing the worldwide IP and regulatory approval processes on behalf of BHS, filed a Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) application on behalf of BHS for Biologix Revive in Geneva, Switzerland. The PCT is an international treaty, administered by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), to which 144 countries have as of now contracted, including Canada and the United States.

Biologix management is determined to be in a ready position to capitalize on the high-margin sales potential of the Biologix Hair Therapy System(TM), if and when FDA and other major market approvals are forthcoming.

As BHS advances the regulatory approval process, Biologix Hair, together with wholly owned subsidiary companies operated by BHS, are rapidly developing a global distribution network of licensed clinicians and medical practitioners seeking to become Certified Biologix Hair Therapists(TM) and secure exclusive territorial purchasing and treatment rights for the Biologix Hair Therapy System(TM).

Biologix Hair has decided not to risk creating any potential regulatory conflicts by offering treatment outside the United States and other major high-product-margin markets until FDA approval has been granted. Therefore, the Biologix Hair Therapy System(TM) is not yet available other than to the 5,000+ patients who participated in the pre-clinical-trials conducted in South America.

To quote the journalist Shana Alexander about the serious role a head full of hair plays in our lives: Hair brings one’s self-image into focus; it is vanity’s proving ground. Hair is terribly personal, a tangle of mysterious prejudices. Hair is that component of the human anatomy which merits great attention from the proud owner, and those around, since time immemorial. Hair care has always occupied an important part of a person’s personal care regimen.

There is an eternal quest to enhance, cultivate, and preserve the keratinoid growth on one’s head has led to the discovery of numerous natural and chemical hair care potions and elixirs as a hair loss treatment over ages. Essential oils are an ancient and surviving relic in the history of trichological evolution. The use of essential oil as a hair loss treatment and for hair growth has been traced back to the ancient Indian, Egyptian, and Oriental civilizations. Many cosmetic and therapeutic formulas, consisting of essential oils for hair care, have been unearthed during numerous archaeological expeditions.

An essential oil is a water-insoluble fluid containing volatile aroma compounds of the plant from which it is extracted. In other words, these oils contain some of the true and original essence of the plant in the form of aroma imparting chemicals that are typical to the plant from which they are extracted. Examples of essential oil are Clove Oil, Jasmine Oil, Eucalyptus Oil, Cedar Wood Oil, etc. As a simple home remedy for hair loss, mix three parts of eucalyptus oil with 1 part of clove oil. Rub this mixture into the scalp at night and it will prevent hair loss.

We all have encountered people offering miracle lotions, creams, pills, or shampoos for baldness whether on the high street or online. As much as we don’t admit it, we almost fell for their sugar-coated propositions.  These individuals are as willing to go to any lengths just to sell you into their products as much as you are willing to go to any length to treat your hair loss. They will use this to their advantage and to your detriment. They will use puffery that appear to leave you no room for discretion. Before you fall into the trap, take time to assess  the product and their manufacturers.

How to Tell if Your Hair Loss Product Is a Scam

When it comes to hair loss, a correct diagnosis is part of the formula for the right hair loss treatment. What many people do not recognize is that not all hair loss prevention programs work the same for everyone. This means that even the best hair loss products may not work for you simply because your hair loss condition is entirely different from the others and your response to the same hair loss treatment may vary to a large extent. For example, while certain surgeries or procedures such as hair transplants may produce excellent and realistic results for many others, they may not work well with your particular condition.

And since the variety of hair loss products can seem to be a bit overwhelming, you might want to consider looking for hair loss product reviews and official websites. Today, the internet is the home of various scams relating to hair loss treatments. Many of these scams make use of advertising programs being propagated in different online communities, social networking sites, blogging spots and forums. These alleged hair loss cures are specifically created for the sole purpose of procuring money from unwary victims.

DHT Blockers Hair Products for Hairloss

Hair loss agents don’t choose whom to attack. Regardless of age, gender, or race, susceptible people will lose their hair through different factors. There are many known causes to hair loss although the most common cause is a certain androgenetic activity in the scalp – DHT build-up. This is why most hair products for hairloss are DHT blockers.

But what is DHT?

DHT stands for dihydrotestosterone which start building up when the androgen receptors process testosterone abnormally. To be more exact, DHT is a testosterone derivative which ramp up when the enzyme 5-alpha reductase (5-AR) breaks down testosterone. What makes DHT the primary cause of hair loss is the fact that it blocks the nutrients necessary for the hair follicles to produce new hair.

DHT formation in the scalp initially miniaturizes hair follicles and eventually kills them, resulting in complete baldness.

Does it only occur in men then?

Although DHT is a male hormone derivative, it does not mean it builds up in a male body alone. Women are similarly affected with DHT since they also produce testosterone in the adrenal glands and ovaries albeit in lesser quantities.

The Hairless Side of Crash Diets

With the socially-induced definition of beauty, many women who fail to meet the status quo fall back to drastic “beauty-enhancing” measures like crash diets. But while it’s flattering to hear you’ve successfully chopped off an excess flab, you must know that something else is at stake - your hair.

Crash Diets and Hair Loss
Hair is basically composed of dead cells but at the seat of every strand is a biological activity taking place, causing the hair to grow longer and shed off at any one time. This is where the hair follicles reside. Hair follicles are hair manufacturers and require oxygen and nutrients to perform their role. However, since hair has no survival purpose, it ranks last in the priority list of parts in the body to receive nutrients. Therefore, when the body has a faulty replenishment system, hair is very likely to suffer in the process.

Crash diets can help you cut down on calories, fat, carbohydrates, etc. But when fat is trimmed down, there is a separate reaction. The body loses a significant amount of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins C & E as well. These nutrients are necessary for proper hair growth and cycling. However, in the vast majority of cases, hair thinning is a result of the lack of protein and essential amino acids like lysine since hair is basically made up of protein.

When Men Lose Hair at the Early Age of 21

There are various common misconceptions about hair loss and the nature of its causes.  Centuries ago, we have no way of knowing what’s real from reel. We have no means to separate the myths and the facts for the reason that we have limited knowledge about this condition.

However, today’s modern world opened up new horizons for all of us. With the advancement of technology, hair experts have learned the numerous triggering factors or causes of hair loss and how these factors may influence the hair growth process.

One popular misconception is that hair loss only occurs during old age when we reach the point where our body no longer functions at its best. This is definitely not the case; in fact today, it is universally known that many teens or young adults at the early age of 21 or below may experience hair loss. Indeed, all of us can become victims of this unfortunate condition at any given time. No matter who we are or what we are, we are all prone to hair loss conditions.

There are a myriad of reasons why men start to lose their hair at the early age of 21 or below. It may be due to medications, infections, diseases, stress, unhealthy lifestyle, malnutrition and bad habits.   However, the most common cause of hair loss among young adult males is genetics. If anyone in the family from the mother’s or the father’s side has a history of hair loss, then there is a very good chance that their children will suffer from baldness. This kind of hair loss which is common among young men is known as male pattern baldness.

The Hamilton-Norwood Scale of Male Pattern Baldness

Statistics have shown that there are more males than females who suffer from hair loss. This comes from the fact that the condition tends to be hereditary and androgen-dependent. Genetics really play a role but the male hormones are the primary agent. This is called androgenetic alopecia or male pattern baldness. The severity of the condition also depends on the natural presence of these hormones in the male body.

Male pattern baldness is suffered by 40% of all 25-year-old males and 50% of men in their fifth decade. This condition is so common among males that it accounts for 95% of cases.  Hair loss has a progressive nature. The Hamilton-Norwood scale documents the seven types of male pattern baldness. The Hamilton-Norwood scale was initially introduced by Dr. James Hamilton primarily in the 1950s and was later reviewed and modified by Dr. O’Tar Norwood in the 1970s – hence the name, Hamilton-Norwood scale.

Hair Regrowth Made Easy

These days, more and more people experiencing hair loss are being more mindful of their health and more cautious in their choices of hair loss products. Most of them are now opting for hair loss treatments that will restore their full head of hair without the unwanted side effects.

In the same way that we benefit from the sun’s rays, our hair and scalp can also be nurtured by laser light therapy which works by supplying energy to the scalp area applied in the form of non-thermal photons of light. With proper application, the low level laser therapy is able to generate a process called photobiostimulation. Through this scientific process, the scalp is able to absorb the light energy down to the cellular level improving scalp circulation. This light energy is transformed into cellular energy that improves nutrient absorption and metabolism of tissues within and around the hair follicles for revitalization. As a result, the hair follicles are restored to normal functioning for normal hair growth cycle.

Uncovering the Secrets of the Hair Cycle

‘Hair is like rain’. Strange it may seem, but this line always crosses my mind as I write articles about hair loss and the nature of its causes. Yes, few might agree with me; however, I find this certain analogy true no matter how silly it may sound.Rain follows a certain cycle which when disrupted my cause detrimental circumstances like sudden or unexpected climate change. This also holds true when it comes to the hair growth cycle. Why do I say this? It is because like rain, the hair when subjected to different factors like ailments and diseases, infections, hormonal imbalances, ageing, heredity, vitamin deficiency and so forth, can change drastically. The hair’s texture, color and quality might diminish and worst of all, hair loss or hair thinning might occur.

Why do we need to understand the Hair Growth Cycle?

By understanding the hair growth cycle, we gain knowledge on how hair loss occurs. Furthermore, we can free ourselves of the trouble of wondering how long it takes before we can experience hair regrowth. Having an idea of the natural cycle of hair growth will give us a hint on how to prevent hair loss from occurring unnaturally.

How does hair grow?

Hair is essentially composed of keratin, a special protein that is made up of a root, bulb and a follicle. Each hair strand consists of three concentric layers: the cuticle, the cortex and the medulla.

Cold Laser Therapy: A Hair Growth Option for Both Men and Women

While low-level laser therapy lacks general understanding, it does demonstrate effectiveness on hair loss; otherwise, it wouldn’t have remained popular until today. Until scientists completely understand the principles of photo-biology, laser therapy or phototherapy at large will remain outside mainstream science.

Low-Level Laser | Laser Hair Treatment
Low level laser presents the qualities opposite to a hot laser or a high-level laser. LLL is a cold or soft laser that can render only up to a hundred watts or less. Aside from the fact that they are coherent-thus easily manipulated-cold lasers do not possess the component to produce heat, sound, or vibration which is why they are used to serve a curative purpose.

Low-Level Laser Therapy for Hair Restoration
Low-level laser therapy is the application of low-level lasers to serve a therapeutic purpose, in this case, to treat hair loss. Traditionally, LLLT has been in use for treating mild pains, skin diseases, and neurological conditions.

It was a Hungarian physician, Dr. Endre Mester, who discovered the therapeutic potential of low-level lasers for hair loss in the 1960s. He noted that treated areas have experienced thicker hair growth compared to the controlled area.

Getting the Right Hair Growth Product

Even the sensational icon Lady Gaga suffers from hair loss. She tries all her might to conceal that with makeup. Now her manager is probably invoking divine powers to find the right hair growth product that can aid Gaga with this plight (that is, if she really considers  it so). Still if her problem is yours, then here are some tips to get that right product straight into your medicine cabinets.

Find the Source of the Problem

Gaga might be suffering from a temporary type of hair loss and yours could be another case. Her image  as a wild artist, coming up with notorious hairstyles, could have triggered her hair loss. This can only be traction alopecia and chemical trauma. While we can’t be so sure, you have to know there are different causes to hair loss in the scalp.

The most common one is androgenetic alopecia which has something to do with genetics and the male hormones. Almost every hair growth product is made for this type of hair loss.

Androgenetic alopecia occurs when the testosterone (the male sex hormone) interacts with the enzyme 5-alpha reductase to form dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT formation near the hair follicles causes hair loss. Androgenetic alopecia tends to occur in 2 out of 5 men in their mid-20s, and 1 out of 5 women in their mid-30s.

Another common type of hair loss is alopecia areata. It is characterized by the patches of hair loss all over the body. This is an auto-immune disease which may not require treatment since it is only temporary.

Exploring Laser Therapy for Hair Loss

Lasers are generally known as destructive devices used for anything but for therapeutic purposes – especially as a therapy for hair loss. The word “laser” stands for “light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.” As most action movies have it, lasers are used to cut or destroy things to shreds. They are displayed as fatal weapons and not curative tools for any medical condition. This is probably why balding people get put off at the sound of lasers. Little do they know, there are two principles to the types of lasers: the cold and the hot lasers.

Types of Lasers

Hot lasers deliver power up to thousands of watts. They are common devices in surgeries to perform clean, almost bloodless incisions. They are also widely-used in removing an unhealthy tissue without damaging the surrounding healthy tissues.

Cold lasers, on the other hand, do not possess thermal, sonic, or vibratory components to destroy. Most therapeutic lasers operate at 890 nanometers to 904 nanometers which is an infrared light. Typically though, they give off an average power of 100 milliwatts or less – a quality perfect for rendering therapy for hair loss.
