To say that female hair loss can be devastating is a severe understatement. Particularly if the woman has always had “nice” hair. For a woman, her hair truly is her growning glory. Unfortunately, today’s statistics are that one in four women will experience thinning hair or hair loss.

The causes of thinning hair and hair loss in women can be many; from hormonal (birth control, pregnancy, menopause) to medical (taking anti-depressants, hyperthyroidism, chemotherapy, etc.) The discomfort and social factors make hair loss for a woman far more difficult than for a man. It’s one thing for a man to lose his hair, this is socially acceptable. Today, a lot of males experiencing hair loss simply shave their head and sport the total bald look with pride. But, for a woman the bald look is not socially acceptable and; confusion, anxiety and fear set in along with feelings of helplessness loss of self esteem.

Usually, there is a “good” reason as to why women lose their hair. The key is to find out the cause if possible, and move forward from there. Sometimes medical intervention is necessary. However, in some cases it could be as simple as using Hair Support System to clean up the scalp and stimulate hair regrowth.
