• Their identity is tied to appearance
• Loss of hair is extremely traumatizing
• Hair loss is unexpected and upsetting
Rest assured though that there is something you can do to prevent
further hair loss and even get those lovely tresses growing long and
strong once again.

3. Understanding Hair Growth Cycles
Healthy hair grows in three different cycles
• Anagen phase - in which growth occurs
• Catagen phase - a transitory state that denotes the end of growth
• Telogen phase - a resting state for your hair in which no growth
occurs
Most of the hair on your head is in the growing cycle, which can last
up to 8 years for a single strand.

4. Normal Hair Loss
• The average person loses
50 to 100 strands of hair
each day
• If you wash regularly you'll
lose 250 strands because
of the stress put on follicles
• It is normal to find a few
strands on your pillow in
the morning or on your
brush

5. What Causes Hair Loss In Women

• Psoriasis and Dermatitis
• Telogen Effluvium
• Autoimmune Disorders
• Age
• Overall Health
• Diet
• Exercise
• Hair Habits and Styling

6. Hereditary Conditions
• Androgenic Alopecia affects about 30 million American women
• It is the most common genetic condition causing women to lose hair
• It's a fancy way of saying - Female Pattern Baldness - just like in men
• Starts to really kick in over the age of 60 but can be noticeable before
• It affects about 50% of women at some point in their life, but men are
still worse afflicted.

7. Medical Conditions
Some medical conditions and disorders can lead
to hair loss, and they’re not all things that you
would expect.
Many women experience only minor symptoms of
these conditions and disorders – other than hair
loss – which can make them hard to diagnose.
Also, some medical conditions indirectly affect the
body. Something like chemotherapy for example
can cause someone to lose their hair as a side
effect.

8. Psoriasis and Dermatitis
Psoriasis and dermatitis are skin
conditions that can cause severely dry
skin and flaking. Typically, psoriasis and
dermatitis occur on the body, but they can
affect the scalp, which can cause hair
loss.
Psoriasis and dermatitis are easily
controlled via medication and proper
washing techniques. If you think psoriasis
or dermatitis is causing your hair loss,
consulting your doctor is your best bet.

9. Telogen Effluvium
Telogen effluvium is a condition that
commonly affects women after giving birth,
major surgery or dramatic weight loss.
This condition can also affect women that take
steroids or beta-blockers, which can alter the
way hair grows naturally.
Telogen effluvium causes the hair follicles to
go into their resting phase faster than normal,
which means that they hair won’t continue
growing, and more hair will be shed.

10. Autoimmune Disorders
Autoimmune disorders like thyroid disorders
and anemia can also cause hair loss.
Typically, hair loss will correct itself and begin
normal growth once the problem is being
treated or has been fixed.
In the case of autoimmune disorders like
thyroid disorder, medical intervention will
likely be necessary to get the disorder under
control so hair can begin to regrow at a
healthy rate.

11. Age
Hereditary conditions like androgenic alopecia generally affect
women in their late 50s and 60s, though it can happen to younger
women – even women in their late teens and early 20s.
Age is a factor among women that are losing their hair however,
many women have healthy hair after their 60th birthday, so age is not
always a factor.
Typically, thinning hair is common as women age however, partial or
total hair loss that isn’t related to female pattern baldness or other
medical conditions isn’t as likely.

12. Overall Health
How women take care of
themselves can greatly
affect the overall health
of their hair.
Diet and exercise level
are two key factors that
can play a part in hair
loss, or help keep the
hair healthy.

13. Diet
A well-balanced diet rich in whole grains, lean protein, low-fat dairy products and small amounts of
refined sugar and carbohydrates is important for maintain optimal hair and overall body health.
Along with a well-balanced diet, there are some foods women can add to keep their hair looking as
healthy as possible.
• Walnuts are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, biotin and vitamin E, all of which are essential for
healthy hair growth. A small serving of walnuts – about two ounces – is all you really need to
add to your diet each day.
•
Eggs are packed with minerals like zinc, selenium and iron. Iron is especially important since it
helps carry oxygen to hair follicles. Spinach, lean beef and lean chicken are also good sources
of iron.
•
Yogurt Full-fat yogurt might scare some women off because of its caloric content, but even a
small amount can help support optimal hair growth because of the vitamin B5, protein and vitamin
D content. Add blueberries for a vitamin C boost that’s also good for your hair.
• Vitamins It’s also a good idea to incorporate supplements especially if you know you haven’t
been or won’t be able to get all your necessary nutrients in your food. There are specifically
vitamins for hair loss in women that can help slow down and even halt the progression of hair
loss.

14. Exercise
• Aim for 60 – 90 minutes of moderate intensity exercise weekly
• Exercising too much can be detrimental to your health if you aren’t
replenishing with the necessary nutrients
• Even the conditions of your workout can damage your health –
spending too much time in the sun for example
• Many people that exercise excessively don’t consume enough
calories and protein to fuel their body are much more likely to
develop anemia, which is a leading cause of thinning hair and
hair loss among women.

15. Hair Habits and Styling
• Styling your hair with products that generate heat like curling irons,
blow dryers and straightening irons can damage your hair.
• Try to avoid using styling tools every day.
• Chemical treatments like dyes and permanents can also seriously
damage your hair avoid doing this to your hair if you can, or just
make sure you aren’t going in for treatments until you really need
them.
• Vigorous brushing with a comb or brush that pulls at your hair can
cause you to lose twice as much hair as you normally would so find
one that goes easily through your hair, and don’t brush your hair
when it’s wet or out of habit.

16. Can Hair Loss Be Fixed?
Many women who experience
hair loss begin to wonder what
they can do to reverse the
process.
While not all cases are curable,
there are some treatments that
have proven beneficial for many
women, and they may be able
to help you as well.

17. Vitamins for Hair Loss in Women
Taking vitamins designed specifically for hair loss in
women can be very helpful, but you need to choose
the right type of vitamin. A regular multivitamin is
healthy, but it may not help to regrow hair.
When looking for vitamins for hair loss in women,
you need to look for vitamins that contain biotin,
vitamins A, B, D and E, lysine and omega-3 fatty
acids.
You can get omega-3 fatty acids from foods like
walnuts and salmon, but many women find that
they help with hair loss when taken as a
supplement.

18. Hair Loss Shampoo
Hair loss shampoo is one of the easiest ways to correct hair loss for
certain women. After all, hair loss shampoo works exactly like a
normal shampoo, so you don’t have to change your daily routine or
take supplements.
Finding a good hair loss shampoo can be a little difficult for some
women. While formulas vary, you generally want to look for hair loss
shampoo that contains zinc, B vitamins, magnesium, copper
peptides, vitamin A and saw palmetto extract.
To find the right hair loss shampoo for you, you may have to
experiment with different formulas. In some cases, a combination of
hair loss shampoo and supplements is beneficial.

19. Surgery
Some women are so distraught by their hair loss that they begin to
consider surgery to get their full head of hair back.
Typically, surgical treatments for hair loss are very expensive, and
you’ll likely end up spending thousands of dollars.
With all the hair recovery products available to you however it’s
unnecessary to opt for surgery.
Also getting surgery doesn’t ensure that you are correcting the cause
of the hair loss

20. Hair Recovery for Men
Hair loss is a problem for many men,
and while it’s generally more
acceptable for a man to lose his hair
than a woman, it can be troubling for
some men.
The best options for most men to start
with are hair recovery shampoos and
supplements that may be able to
regrow hair.
Men should pay special attention to
saw palmetto, a natural ingredient that
may block DHT that causes hair loss in
some men.

21. You Deserve Healthy Hair

your age, no matter your hereditary
background - you deserve
beautiful hair. If you’re losing your
hair, you owe it to yourself to try to
do whatever you can to get it back.
Doing some research on your
personal situation and applying
some of the steps outlined here is
really going to help you regain
control of your beauty and give you
head of beautiful healthy hair.
