Hair loss in women!!!!
Hair loss in women!!!!
After coming to the Middle East I have been losing hair like crazy. 
Sometimes when I comb my hair I try not to look at the amount of hair I have left on the brush. While the water is a valid reason for the hair loss, I would not want to blame water completely. If you are also in the group who has been loosing hair on a daily basis, I think you would want to read on to find out some of the reasons for this very common syndrome.
The truth is, a certain amount of hair loss is normal (anywhere from 50–100 strands per day), but excessive hair loss and hair thinning indicates that something is not right. The causes of accelerated hair loss are very individual and depend on a complicated set of factors, including hormonal and metabolic imbalances, emotional stress and nutritional deficiencies.
So let’s talk about why women lose hair and what you can do about it.
Causes of hair loss in women
A strand of hair is made of compact dead cells. All the things that you put into your body finally comes out in your hair. This usually can be seen within 3 – 6 months. This is similar to the growth rings in trees, from a single strand we can find out your present state.
The reasons for hair fall could be many and could include any of the following:
Stress (emotional and physical)
Hormonal imbalance, specifically androgen sensitivity
Genetics
Immune system irregularities
Thyroid disorders
Nutritional deficiencies (especially iron or vitamin A)
Cosmetics (allergies and harsh treatments)
Radiation/chemotherapy
Dental treatment
Blood loss
Drugs
Disease
Surgery
Scarring
Hormones and hair loss
Eliminate dietary causes of hair loss
Eat a balanced diet comprised of whole, protein-rich foods — the more organic the better.
Avoid or limit refined sugar and other simple carbohydrates as this may increase insulin sensitivity.hair loss
Address vitamin deficiency hair loss. Take a rich multivitamin daily that includes hair-healthy vitamins such as B, C and E.
Other important nutrients are calcium, magnesium, copper, zinc, and iron.
A fish oil supplement containing vitamin D and essential fatty acids will help boost immunity and soothe inflammation.
Consider herbal supplements.
Scalp massage and acupuncture can be helpful in stimulating blood flow to the scalp and supporting normal follicle function.
Finding healthy ways to express yourself and your anger can go a long way toward reducing stress. If you are under severe psychological stress, your hair loss should improve a few months after the stress is relieved.
If your hair loss does not improve with these measures after six months, talk to your practitioner. He or she may recommend undergoing the tests. Ask to see the results and where they fall in the range of normal. The closer to the midline the better. If you notice any irregularities, talk to your practitioner about targeted supplements or treatment targeted toward hair growth.
Remember that the condition of your hair mirrors what’s going on inside your body. It only makes sense to consider natural options that nurture your whole health before you spend a lot of money on expensive shampoos, conditioners and hair thickening products. While some of these products may enhance the appearance of your existing hair, they don’t generate new hair. Nurturing your health from the inside out, including your emotional health, should improve the quality and quantity of your hair, as well as your life!
