Beauty Tips – Hair Loss In Women

Debrah Dragon asked:

Hair for both men and women is considered a sign of beauty; it is however more for women than men and hair loss for both these genders are devastating. For most people it leaves a deep emotional scar that can last them a life time and give them no alternative route to take.

To many people, hair loss is a condition that affects only men. However, the reality is that hair loss affects both men and women every day. The difference between the two is the way the hair loss occurs. For men, it is typically a full out loss, extremely noticeable and a bald spot ensues. However, for women, hair loss is typically gradual and starts with thinning before it becomes noticeable and a major problem. While it’s rare to see a woman with a big bold spot on the side of her head; you will begin to notice that the hair is becoming thinner, and more of the scalp will start peaking through over time.

Hair loss has deep emotional effects on any person, male or female, however it seems that the emotional effects are worse for females experiencing hair loss. Hair on women is usually a source of pride, and women often take the time to have their hair styled and enjoy wearing hair accessories, so when they experience the loss of their hair, it can be extremely stressful for them. Women that have started to lose their hair experience a great deal of different emotions and effects psychologically from hair loss, in varying degrees of impact, such as:

• Self Esteem Issues

• Depression or Anxiety

• Feeling of Dysfunction in Society

• Control Issues

• Support Issues

The good news is that there are many ways to seek help in hair loss restoration. There are many over the counter remedies that may help in reducing the amount of hair loss, as well as treatments available by a trained hair restoration specialist. The first step in hair loss and restoration is diagnosing the cause of the loss.

Many things in life some common and others not so common can attribute to hair loss, such as:

• Hormonal Changes

• Aging

• Hereditary Patterns

• Prescription Drugs

• Scalp Damage

• Hair Damage

• Hair Pulling

• Deficiency in Diet

• Stress (physical or psychological)

• Chemotherapy

• Hypothyroidism

• Cystic Ovaries

• Autoimmune Disease

Of course, it could be any of the above reasons or other reasons that a woman experiences hair loss, however, they should all be taken seriously, treated, and counseling may be required to get through the emotional effects experienced from the hair loss.

The latest technology such as hair transplants have made it possible for men and women to recover from hair loss. Where as in the past this was not possible, and people who are experience hair loss had to go the path of many myths and half truths. Hair transplants are a viable solution, and can return the beauty of your face back to you, however for many hair transplants are expensive and for some it is impractical. Specially for people who have lost 70 percent or more of their hair.

Hair Loss Shampoo

Terje Brooks Ellingsen asked:

Did you know that nearly 30 million people around the world suffer from hair loss? That’s why this is considered to be a billion dollar industry because both men and women feel social embarrassment. Even though thousands of hair loss products are available on the market, hair loss shampoo is the widely used product. Hair loss is very often heritable. It may also occur due to aging or hormonal imbalance. Since hair loss is heritable, it may be from your father’s side or mother’s side. There is a common view that the hair loss is mainly from mother’s side but it is not true. Different hair loss treatments are available for different hair loss patterns. One among them is hair loss shampoo.

Many people suffering from hair loss are using hair loss shampoo, because it is the easiest way of treating hair loss. But in a lot of cases not the best! There are numerous varieties of hair loss shampoos available in drugstores. One among them is Dr.Proctor’s hair loss shampoo, which consists of natural ingredients, no chemicals are added. Statistics show that this product is the favorite hair loss shampoo. The second most popular hair loss shampoo is called Life Extension Shampoo. Find out more about Thinning Hair

Other commonly used hair loss shampoos are Viviscal, Hair Genesis, Thymuskin, Revivogen, nisim, and Tricomin. A research study confirms that Thymuskin hair loss shampoo is 95% effective in female and 67% in the male pattern baldness. Viviscal shampoo is also very popular. It treats thinning hair, hair loss, and proclaims overall health of the hair. Viviscal is also available as tablets, scalp lotion and conditioner apart from hair loss shampoo. Viviscal is extracted from marine, which provides the essential amino acids to the hair follicle to keep it healthier. Hair Genesis is not only available as hair loss shampoo, but also as an oral supplement, topical serum, and conditioner. This natural hair loss product helps to block the DHT by using the botanical DHT blockers to impede hair loss. It has to be used for at least 3 months before any positive effect is seen as a result of this treatment.

How does a hair loss shampoo work? Hair loss shampoo cleans the hair follicle from debris, dirt, oil, and other wastes. These hair loss shampoos have thymus peptides that will diffuse deep into the hair follicles to remove the adhered dirt.

Hair Renew is one of the hair loss shampoos that are specially made for women. This hair loss shampoo cleanses the scalp, neutralizes the DHT in the scalp and also nourishes the hair follicles. DHT in the hair follicles blocks the available nutrients to the hair follicle which results in hair loss.

Be careful in selecting a hair loss shampoo, because some shampoos may harm your hair and may even provoke more hair loss than preventing it.

Does Moon Really Influences Hair Growth? Truth Behind the Superstition

Mary Anne Lionel asked:

Once I was surfing through the web and found a very interesting article about all popular superstitions that deal with hair. One of them especially sparked my interest. The author said that, despite of common belief, in no way possible can moon influence hair growth, because it simply cannot be, and that all this is granny’s tales.

Well, of course, many of the scientists may lead you into long and dull calculations about how this influences that, and whether this influence is generally possible. But let’s look closer at this concept.

When I was at the high school, my teacher of physics showed us simple formula how one physical body influences other physical body. Of course, she was speaking about the planets and really huge bodies. But I can give you three reasons why this law is true for all existing physical bodies, no matter how small, tiny, or minuscule they are.

Reason #1: Everything in the World Is Interconnected

General science speaks that every part of the Universe is guided by some laws of existence, and that world is divided into parts that we see and that we can’t see. Moreover, every one of us knows that something small creates big.

In other words, all of us are made of particles that we can’t see, and the big world is made of small things the same way.

Now let’s think about this: if everything is guided by laws, and big world and small one are interconnected, then this leads to a conclusion that we are connected to the world, too and influenced by the general laws of its existence.

Reason one is proved.

Reason #2: Big Influences Small

Returning to my sweet teacher of physics, let’s look closer at the laws of the mutual influence.

Who said that we are not influenced by the planet, OR planets? For example, there are weather sensitive people, whose state of health depends on sunny or rainy weather and atmospheric pressure. People are small and the planet is huge, planet influences people, big influences small.

So, why does something that is generally and physically possible seem so impossible to the self-oriented humans?

Let’s assume reason two is proved, too.

Reason #3: Stars Are Not Simply Dots in the Sky

This reason is my final argument for those who know that world goes round, but are not likely to believe it.

There is an astronomy and astrology. Each of these sciences deals with stars. One predicts the future, second studies movements of the planets. First science isn’t regarded by some of us as a science at all, second uses so many gadgets and technical devices, that almost all of us believe it. Of course, tabloid horoscopes do not add faith in the truthfulness of the predictions.

But do you know that ancient Arabs made long and complicated calculations that were written in separate huge books to get the right future forecast for the single person? These calculations usually took several weeks to finish; they required not only the exact date of your birth, but also exact day, hour, minute, even second of birth of your parents, some of the relatives, even strangers.

Moreover, they took into account positions of the planets, the Sun, the Moon, the Earth itself. And these positions were calculated in the same way as they are calculated now by modern scientists, who use fast computers and latest gadgets.

So, as you see, once astrology was rather exact, complicated and demanding science that was later abused and misled.

Now we read horoscopes just for fun, and don’t know their true history and nature. To say more, astronomy takes its origin from the astrology, because first star charts and observations were brought from Arabian countries.

But I won’t say that stars influence our future. What I really want to say is that stars influence our health and state of mood by the magnetic and physical interconnection with the Earth, which, in its turn, influences us directly.

So, even if you do not believe that stars influence you, they do influence every part of the world you live in, and these parts, in their turn, have a certain impact on you.

Reason three is proved.

When it comes to the growth or fading of the Moon and its influence on hair growth, the existence of such is explained by firm and solid law of nature.

The Moon and the Earth are bound by the mutual attraction. High and low tides of the Ocean exist because the Moon approaches and moves away from the Earth in a six-hour cycle. The growth-fading lunar cycle has eight stages, and this cycle influences the Earth in the same way as the six-hour cycle does.

Moreover, the Moon rotates around its axis, as well as around the Earth, along oval orbit, so there are points when the Moon is closer to the Earth and when the Moon is further from the Earth. It all moves us into complicated eight-staged ellipse lunar cycle.

Lunar cycle leads to the minor changes in the atmospheric pressure and the power of the Earth gravity. In its turn this affects animal and human health and behavior. For example, doctors report an increase in epileptic seizures and bleeding ulcers at the time of the full moon.

Gravity is one of the Earth’s strongest forces, so you can’t ignore the Moon.

If we now think more about certain similarities between natural world and human organism, we will see that plants and herbs grow better or worse according to the lunar cycle. Moreover, it is a common practice when coffee trader view chart of the winter full moon to plan their coffee sales. The connection between the full moon and plant growth is so well established that it affects investment patterns.

Hair growth is affected by the Moon in the same way, as anything else on the planet. When the gravity changes, state of your health changes, too. With the lower gravity, even if the change is so small that you don’t feel it, your hair grows slower. It happens in the beginning of the moon cycle and in the middle, on the full moon.

During the new moon and the old moon, the gravity is bigger, and the hair grows faster. Thus, the perfect time for visiting your stylist is on the 3-11th days of the moon cycle, as well as on17-24th days. Your hair will grow faster during these days.

Even if you do not believe all of the said, you can’t deny the influence of gravity on human organism. Thus, there really are certain connections and influences of the Moon on the hair growth.

There are only few reminding to those who expect miracles:

• Changes in Earth’s gravity are very small, so you shouldn’t expect fantastic results.

• If your stylist has a “heavy” hand and your hair doesn’t grow back in two weeks after hair cut, you shouldn’t expect a miraculous hair growth, too.

• If your hair is in unhealthy condition, it will use any opportunity to revive itself first, and only then it will grow longer.

• My last reminding is that if you used to have short haircut, and now you’ve decided to grow your hair long, it will take time, doesn’t matter when you cut your hair, and who cuts it. Our hair grows only up to 5-7 mm per month, and this is a proven scientific fact.

So, whether or not you believe that the Moon and hair growth are connected, you would agree that as long as you live on the planet, you will feel, consciously or subconsciously, all changes and influences made by our planet and its counterparts.
