Why Female Hair Loss Happens & What You Can Do About It-1

Many people think that hair loss is just an issue for men, however, it is estimated that more than 50% of women will experience noticeable hair loss. Shedding an average of 50-100 hairs per day is normal, however, if you’re shedding more than 100 hairs a day, or notice your hair getting thinner and lifeless, it may be time to look further into the condition and start a treatment plan.

Signs of female hair loss include:

In general, a few factors may contribute to hair loss, including:

Anagen Effluvium - This type of hair loss happens when you’re exposed to toxic chemicals that can destroy your hair follicle, such as radiation, chemotherapy, or working in places that are surrounded by chemicals.

Telogen Effluvium - This is typically caused by a shock to the body, from extreme emotional or physical stress, such as the death of a loved one or illness, like Covid 19.

Androgenetic Alopecia - The most common type of female hair loss, better known as female pattern hair loss. This is caused by:

• Aging
• Genetic factors: Family genes
• Menopause/ Hormonal changes: During and after menopause, hair might become finer (thinner) because hair follicles shrink. Hair grows more slowly and falls out more easily in these cases
• Post Partum - Childbirth

Stop Harmful Styling Practices

Hair loss may occur because of hair styling practices like tight ponytails or braids or the use of certain chemicals. Treatment in these cases means not styling hair in the way that causes the damage.

Use Shampoo & Treatments formulated for Thinning Hair
Using the right kind of shampoo can also help. Look for a shampoo formulated for the special needs of thinning hair, to add volume without using sulfate detergents. Look for scalp treatments, like HairMax Density Acceler8 Booster & Nutrients, with anti hair loss active Capixyl, to protect the scalp, strengthen and thicken hair while supporting natural growth.

Minoxidil (FDA Approved Drug Treatment)

Minoxidil is FDA approved for treating female pattern hair loss. However, users must follow instructions exactly and continue to use the product indefinitely. Women should not use minoxidil if they are pregnant, plan to get pregnant, or are breastfeeding. Minoxidil may irritate the scalp and lead to dryness, itching, redness, and/or scaling. The product can also cause hair to grow in places other than the scalp, such as the forehead or cheeks, so users need to avoid other areas and wash their face after applying.

Laser Therapy (FDA Cleared, Drug Free Treatment)

Low-level laser therapy can help stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth. HairMax laser therapy is proven to regrow hair with a 90% success rate in clinical studies.
