Hair loss in men is obviously very common and also very accepted, however a title=Thinning Hair in Women href=http://ezinearticles.com/?Thinning-Hair-in-Womenamp;id=2041920thinning hair in women/a is also a very major issue. And of course for women their hair is a very important part of how they present themselves to the world, so if it starts to go it can leave the sufferer feeling very embarrassed by it all. Lets have a look at the subject in a bit more detail:-

The technical term for female hair loss is androgenetic alopecia and figures for women suffering from this are surprisingly high with approximately one in four women suffering from this in one form or another.So a title=are you actually going bald href=http://ezinearticles.com/?Hair-Loss—Are-You-Actually-Going-Bald?amp;id=2021417are you actually going bald/a, well the first place to check would be by getting a better understanding of your hair cycle

p style=margin-bottom: 0cm;In your normal hair cycle at any one time 90% of your hair is growing and 10 % is resting. During this resting period it is not uncommon for you to shed hair. You can always do a test to see if you are losing more hair than you should be and that is by getting say twenty strands of hair between thumb and forefinger and then slowly but firmly tug them. If half a dozen or more come out then that is a sign you may be losing your hair.

Well there can be many factors including things like stress or diet, but probably the biggest one is hormonal.There is a hormone called DHT which is thought to be responsible for hair loss. DHT is caused by an excess of testosterone in the body, for men this is a natural occurrence but for women it is a cause of unbalance. The unbalance occurs because normally the estrogen in a woman controls testosterone but if a woman has just had a child or is menopausal then the estrogen level will be low and this can result in DHT and hair loss.

Is there anything that can be done to stop the hair loss? Of course there are the mainstream routes such as drugs from a physician or transplants, however for a majority of people these days that is not the route they want to take as their can be side effects from drugs and transplants can be very expensive. However I do look at alternative ways on my site which is all about a title=how to prevent hair loss href=http://howtopreventhairloss.org/how to prevent hair loss/a.
