Sudden hair loss often disturbs the sleep of many and brings
with it great anxiety triggered by undesired baldness. Women
find it even harder to bear. While the problem of hair loss is
not common in women, they may suffer from this problem because
of hormonal changes. Menopausal women are more prone to losing
hair at an unnatural rate than the others are. However, hair
loss among women who are in mid-twenties and thirties has also
raised alarm. The first thing you should do is to visit a
dermatologist to undergo scalp check-up.

Problems may arise out of imbalance in secretion of hormones
like thyroid, testosterone and progesterone. Female hair loss
may also result from poor nutrition, anemia and serious illness.
In some women, the problem of hair loss is noticed a few months
after they have had the baby. Medicines like blood thinners,
blood control pills, antidepressants and the ones used in
chemotherapy often contribute to hair loss.

You would have surely come across the term „common baldness‰. It
is a typical condition related to male-pattern baldness. This
type of baldness generally occurs because of hereditary trait.
The hairline recedes with baldness occurring on the top of the
head. Female-pattern baldness is characterized by thinning of
hair over the whole scalp.

Before devising a treatment for your hair loss, you will have to
know the underlining cause behind it. If the problem has
triggered because of hormonal imbalance or medicinal effect it
can be corrected. You can slow down development of baldness by
applying minoxidil (brand name: Rogaine) on your scalp. While
minoxidil is available even without prescription, you can get
finasteride (brand name: Propecia) under prescription. If you do
not find adequate treatment of hair loss for you, you can also
think of hairpieces, wigs and hair weaves as substitutes.
