Solutions to hair loss in women

While most people don´t realize it, there are lots of women who suffer from hair loss. All women will experience hair loss of around 50 to 100 hair follicles daily. This is completely normal. It becomes a problem when actual baldness occurs.  

One natural way to treat hair loss in women is with essential oils products. While these products will not miraculously make hair grow back they will nourish the hair and make it more healthy. People who are interested in these should be carful to avoid oil extracts as these are not effective. To keep hair healthy all hair care products containing chemicals like petroleum and phosphates should be avoided.  

The most popular over the counter hair loss medication is called Rogaine or topical preparation minoxidil. This product has been approved by the FDA and is a popular treatment for male balding. It works just as well for women and will increase the size of the hair follicles and extend the hair growth phase. Most minoxidil products for women are not as strong as those for men, but experts say that the stronger solution may actually be better for them as well.  

Another proven hair loss treatment, for both men and women, is hair replacement surgery. While this does not actually treat the cause of the hair loss, it will solve the results. During this type of surgery the surgeon will take hair follicles form the healthy part of the scalp and transplant them to the bald spots. While results of hair loss surgery may take a while to show it is a proven method that is very effective.
