Thinning Hair In Women

11:05 pm November 20, 2009

When a woman starts to experience thinning hair and hair loss it can be a major issue and affect their confidence and self esteem.

There can be many factors that cause hair to thin. These can include a diet lacking int he right amount of vitamins and minerals and protein in particular, stress, a result of taking certain medication and an imbalance in hormones.

For most women though, a hormone called Dht is responsible for thinning hair and hair loss. Dht is produced by testosterone. It damages the hair follicle by binding to it and shrinking it continually making it thinner and thinner.

The Estrogen hormone acts as a counterbalance to Dht and its damaging effects on the hair follicle. As one ages the level of estrogen drops and this can result in Dht becoming stronger in its effects on the hair.

Only two medical treatments have been acknowledged by the FDA as being effective in combating thinning hair and hair loss. These are Minoxidil and Finasteride respectively.

Finasteride is only allowed to be used by men. Minoxidil can be used by both men and women. Minoxidil comes in liquid of foam form and is applied to the scalp twice per day. It has to be used continually or any benefits will be lost.

Minoxidil is most effective in slowing the rate of thinning and hair loss in women. In trials it has proven the halt or slow down further thinning in around 30% of cases.

There are lots of other products besides Finasteride and Minoxidil that claim to thicken thinning hair and regrow hair. If one decides to buy or use any of these types of products it is important to be aware of any ingredients they contain for health and safety reasons.

Hair thickening products that are cosmetic in nature are also another option for those that want to thicken thinning hair. These products come in a variety of forms such as hair sprays, lotions and shampoos, microfiber powders etc… They usually work on a very similar premise to mascara in that they add a thickening agent or ingredient to thinning hair giving it volume and density. Again, if you decide to try one of these types of products it is of paramount importance that one knows not only how the product works but any ingredients used.

The very best hair pieces and wigs even allow scalp to be seen where there is a parting on the hairline.
The cost for these can be several thousand dollars initially and can involve a continual monthly maintenance payment.
The financial implications of any such purchase should be considered before one considers buying such a product.
