Alert 30 Million Americans Suffering Hair Loss |
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, approximately 30 million women in the United States are affected by hair loss at some stage - and the numbers are increasing. Depending on which authoritative source you consult, between 25 and 33.3 percent of all American women will suffer varying degrees of hair loss at some point in their lives.
Avoiding Hair Loss
1. Exercise.
Just 20 minutes a day can produce enough endorphins to reduce stress levels.
2. Write in a journal.
Writing your thoughts and feeling down in a journal can help in expressing the frustrations you are keeping inside.
3. Get a massage.
Massage therapy can relax muscles, easy muscle spasm, increase blood flow to skin and muscles and relieve mental and emotional stress.
4. Realistic expectations.
A lot of stress is caused by disappointment in ourselves and/or others. When we or others can't live up to expectations you may have, disappointment and stress can set in. If you feel this applies to you, adjust your expectations. Don’t expect everyone to be like you or behave to your code of “shoulds and oughts." And don't say yes to demands that you know will be difficult to live up to. Don’t let ego and social pressure force you into being/doing something you are not. See http://HairCare.hairlossfact.info.
Information On Hair Loss
The internet is a great place to find information about hair loss and treatment options. It can also be a very bad place to find out more about about treatment options. 21st Century snake oil salesmen from all over the world are selling bogus mircale hair loss cures and raking in millions of dollars. Americans should be careful when selecting all natural products insinuating that it is a sure-fire cure for hair loss.
Disease Causing Hair Loss
Over thirty specific diseases, including diabetes and lupus as well as diseases of the liver, kidney, and thyroid, are known to cause permanent or long-term hair loss. But hair loss can also result from general illness: a high fever or a bad case of flu can initiate loss that is noticeable in one to four months but usually reverses itself soon thereafter, and chronic illness can cause chronic loss.
Getting to the Root Cause of Hair Loss and Thinning Hair
Doctors aim to treat the underlying cause. If a patient has iron deficiency anaemia they'll be given iron tablets. If current medication seems to be causing hair loss, GPs may consider prescribing alternative medication or changing the dosage. In certain cases, they may also suggest minoxidil liquid to encourage hair growth or recommend hair transplants.

DHT affects these follicles growth cycles, causing them to produce and thinner hair until these follicles finally "die." Thinning Hair can be prenvented! |
