Fantasia Salon / Spa and Wig Specialists

Many women have either thought or said this. But, I’m perfectly healthy, how can I be losing my hair? Typically we think female hair loss only happens to sick people, or those being treated for cancer with chemotherapy. Or perhaps those on medications for other things. Perfectly healthy women don’t experience hair loss…or do they?

All women will lose some hair at some point in their lives. Most of them will be healthy, middle aged women. It is not something to be ashamed of or embarrassed about. Today, there are many solutions and options for female hair loss, otherwise known as alopecia. All alopecia means is more hair loss than is usually experienced.

Yes, we typically think of hair loss in men, but it can and does happen to women, although usually not to the same degree. In women, hair loss rarely if ever leads to baldness. Baldness for men is accepted and even celebrated today with the younger generation of males shaving their heads, celebrities sporting bald heads, etc.

There are two main causes of hair loss in healthy middle - aged women and they are psychological and physical. If you are too psychologically stressed, have lots of anxiety, burnout or extreme fatigue, it’s going to show up somewhere and it just might be in the form of hair loss. It’s important to control these things as they can cause your body to be unbalanced which produces the changes which can cause hair loss. Estrogen controls DHT, which is the hormone responsible for the malfunctioning of hair production in certain areas. It is produced by testosterone, but, as I just stated, it is controlled by estrogen.

So, what can you do about hair loss? Well, the first thing would be to determine the cause. Is it physical or is it psychological? If it’s psychological, you probably need to schedule some rest and free time. You may even want to consult a licensed psychologist or a psychiatrist, particularly if you are having difficulty understanding underlying your psychological issues.

Physical causes are different. Perhaps you are dealing with hormonal imbalance with is the leading cause of hair loss in middle aged women. It is probably caused by estrogen imbalance. Maintaining healthy amounts of hormone in your body would be the most important thing to consider. There are natural options to chose from today with regard to hormone balancing.

There are non-surgical solutions for your thinning hair issues such as MicroPoint Links, where your hair can be increased by 400% in volume by tying cyberhair in with your own hair. Prior to having MicroPoint links, a good hair replacement specialist would put you on Hair Support System, which is a natural, vitamin plant based product providing nutrients to your hair and scalp.

There are reams of information regarding hair loss on the Internet, I personally have done over a hundred blogs on the topic. As with anything, keep in mind that your life needs to be in harmony, body and spirit. These are stressful times we live in and we have to work at staying positive. If you realize you are too stressed, take time for yourself. If you feel down, do something uplifting - go for a walk, take the dog with you, go for a bicycle ride and just be outside for awhile. Sometimes being inside all of the time is depressing, especially when it’s beautiful outside.

Never give up and don’t despair! There are good solutions for you which will give you your life back. Far better to be dealing with this today than years ago when there were very few options!
