Reacting strongly to the physical state of your hair may seem like vanity, I mean, who hasn’t had a bad hair day? Your hair is one of the first areas, along with skin and nails, to manifest signs of hormonal imbalance, poor nutrition and illness.

Understanding how hair regenerates and paying attention to any changes in your hair growth and appearance are an important part of taking care of yourself. It’s more than about vanity.

Truth is, a certain amount of hair loss is normal, probably somewhere between 50-75+ hairs 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.

The sad thing is, many conventional doctors downplay hair loss as an inevitable part of the aging process for both sexes. They treat it with topical products which enhance the existing hair but offer no real solution to the causes of hair loss. Therefore, there is no prevention of continued hair thinning. Because of this, many women, especially those in menopause, think there is nothing they can do to stop hair loss.

Regularly referred to with the catch all term-alopecia, female hair loss actually has different degrees of severity, causes and treatments. The good news is that many cases can resolve over time with an active, holistic and hopeful approach.

A balding woman should not resign herself to shopping for hair thickeners. Hair replacement salons such as Fantasia have many solutions for thinning hair beginning with Hair Support System as well as supplements which can help address nutritional deficiencies. Then, depending on the degree of your hair loss; your hair replacement specialist can offer a solution which would be the best for your individual situation.
