I'm a 28-year-old woman, and I'm experiencing a lot of hair loss. Why is that?

It's not falling out in patches to suggest baldness, so it's falling out all over. I'm getting new growth in its place, but its texture is quite fine and very frizzy. What can I do to remedy this?I'm a 28-year-old woman, and I'm experiencing a lot of hair loss. Why is that?
Most people associate hair loss as being a male problem not

so, in fact about 28 million American women suffer the effects of

female pattern baldness (technically known as androgenetic alopecia).

Symptoms of this condition are a general thinning of hair over the

whole scalp area and a moderate loss of hair on the crown of the

head or at the hairline. It is rare for women to develop completely

bald areas as men often do.



Hair loss in women typically begins around age 30 and becomes

noticeable around age 40. The process speeds up after menopause.

As with men, hair loss in women is caused by a combination of

Poor diet and nutrition, genetic and hormonal factors and

psychological stress. Among the common causes of female pattern

baldness are:







Malnutrition from an unbalanced diet



Rapid weight loss from dieting



Severe illness or surgery



Prolonged emotional stress



Anaemia or low blood count



Thyroid abnormalities



Abuse of drugs, especially amphetamines





Postpartum hormonal changes or discontinuation of birth control pills can also cause significant hair loss, but in most cases it is temporary, and hair will recover its body and lustre as the woman's body chemistry stabilizes.



So what can you do if you start noticing more hair on your hairbrush and less on your head? Current options include using prescription drugs such as Minoxidil (Rogaine) or exploring modern hair replacement, transplants, and cellcloning techniques. There are also many hairdressing products, which create the

illusion of added fullness and bounce.



Hair loss in women is often associated with crash dieting. Nutritional deficiencies are often the culprit. Fasting or an in correct diet often results in a shortage of vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, and other antioxidants, leading to hair loss. Food supplements are a must when dieting.



Vegetarians often find their hair thinning and their hairline receding too, especially when they first switch to a meat-free diet. The culprit is usually a lack of protein in the body. When they increase the amount of non-animal protein soy products,for instance in their diets, hair loss stops and often reverses itself.



For all those concerned with hair loss the first ';port of call'; is to realize the importance that internal/external and cosmetic factors play in this regard.



The body is self-healing. Doctors cannot heal. They create a situation in which nature is able to do its work of healing, repairing and regenerating. So, too, with our hair.



Often by correctly regulating the body's metabolism and incorporating principals of a well balanced diet, longevity exercise (a simplistic

effective 5 step exercise routine derived from ancient yoga teachings)and hair workout techniques, great benefits can be obtained and should be incorporated before involving oneself in a course of treatment, products, and procedures, which are often unnecessary and involve considerable outlay.



Realize the importance of looking after your hair as it is natures own health barometer and as night follows day, your overall health and well being will flourish as well.

You can stop hair loss using many cheap and effective home remedies.Egg white, lemon juice, oil massage are other home remedies at http://www.wellnesstalk.org/hairfall.htm will prevent further problems.
IT COULD BE FROM A FEW MONTHS AFTER GIVING BIRTH TO A CHILD OR HORMONE CHANGES,STRESS,THYROID PROBLEMS OR AN ILLNESS BUT, I HAD MY TUBES TIED TOO WHICH CAUSED PROBLEMS WITH MY PERIODS........... I WAS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH HAIR LOSS AFTER TWO OF MY RELATIVES DIED THIS PAST YEAR. I WENT TO THE DOC AND SHE PUT ME ON BIRTH-CONTROL AND IT WORKED FOR ME.
R u under alot of stress?Or have u tied ur hair up too tightly?If u haven't trim ur hair in a long time,then u should do that to prevent hair loss. r u combing ur hair too hard when it's wet?u can choose to use a wide tooth comb or just brush ur fingers through ur wet hair.Do u have dandruff problem?Then u might need to use anti-dandruff shampoo.If u scratch ur scalp too hard when u shampoo ur hair,it might cause hair loss too.Hope this helps :)
stress, lack of nutrition, weight loss,thyroids, postpartum hairloss, it could be any of these things.
I'm 28 too and I've got a lot of hair, but it's very straight and ultra fine so it tends to be limp and won't hold a style most days. I would suggest two things - first, get your hair colored - it adds volume and structure to it - and I also get extensions if you can afford it (I can't, otherwise I would do that in a second!!!) It may be falling out due to stress.
FIrst off, you need to see your doctor and make sure you dont have any medical problems causing hair loss. Thyroid dysfunction is a big cause of hair loss, as is stress.

FALLING HAIR -





Does your hair fall a lot? Don't worry, you're not alone. Millions of people from all around the world suffer from dry, brittle and weak hair. Some of the possible reasons for falling hair are:








Tension


Too much work


Illness


Poor diet


Over-exposure to the sun


Perming


Amateur bleaching


Too frequent and inexpert use of tints, rinses or other colourants








Here is what you can do to prevent hair fall








Shampoo regularly. Remember, a CLEAN scalp is a HEALTHY SCALP.





Brahmi amla oil also promotes hair growth.





A high protein diet with plenty of fruits, green vegetables and dairy products is a must.





Drink 10-12 glass of water everyday.





Use a very mild shampoo and condition your hair at least twice a week. When you do, make sure you rinse out the conditioner thoroughly, otherwise residue build-up will cause your hair to look limp and dull.





Know your vitamins! IRON is important for healthy hair and brittle, limp hair indicates an iron deficiency. Spinach has a good iron content, so gulp it down!





ZINC helps prevent hair loss and greying. Eat adequate zinc rich foods. Overweight people tend to have zinc deficiency, which is inversely related to the body mass index. Thus if you are overweight and if your hair falls too much, you may want to increase your intake of zinc containing foods. Recipes containing stone ground, wholegrain flour are rich in zinc.





A shortfall in VITAMIN B may cause dandruff, falling hair, loss of colour and could encourage grey hair. So B group Vitamins are essential for gloss, colour and thickness.





VITAMIN C ensures the health of capillaries supplying blood to hair follicles. Make sure your diet includes plenty of fresh fruits and veggies.





VITAMIN E encourages hair growth. Switch from refined flours to wholemeal and wheatgerm, eggs, vegetable oil.





COPPER stops hair from falling. Studies show that the copper content in the blood serum of people with falling hair is less than normal. Different types of alopecia (falling hair) are seen to have a deficiency of this important trace element. Include small quantities of nuts, especially cashews and peanuts, seeds, whole milk and beans in your diet as these contain minute but important amounts of copper.








Homemade remedies for preventing hair fall:





Apply almond oil on scalp and massage.


Grind fenugreek seeds in water and apply on your scalp. Wash off after 40 minutes. Do this every morning for a month 隆V if it suits you! Remember, different treatments suit different types of hair.


Massage warm castor oil + almond oil into your scalp gently. Wrap a hot towel around your scalp so it gets absorbed into the hair. Do this twice a week for healthy, shiny hair.


Add 2-3 drops of honey to a glass of water and use this as the last rinse after shampooing.








Quick Hair Care Conditioner





Mix 1 egg, 2 tbs castor oil, 1 tsp vinegar and 1 tsp glycerine. Beat until frothy and massage lightly into your scalp. Wrap your head in a hot towel, steam, then wash off. This conditioner makes hair thicker, shiny, soft and manageable.








Honey Conditioner





Beat 1-2 eggs (depending on the length of the hair), 1 tsp honey and 2 tsp olive oil. Massage gently into the scalp. Steam, and shampoo after an hour.








Alcohol Conditioner





Beat 1-2 eggs with 2 tsp brandy. Massage into your scalp. Leave for 10-15 mins. Rinse well. The egg nourishes your hair and brandy stimulates hair growth.





Your hair is a vital beauty asset, requiring constant loving care. And with a little nurturing, lush, glossy hair will be yours





ESSENTIALS FOR FALLING HAIR -











Does your hair fall often Arm yourself with these tools to combat hair fall.











Wide-toothed comb








Get yourself a wide-toothed comb. This is probably one of the most important yet underutilized of all hair tools. A wide-toothed comb helps you distribute conditioner evenly all over your hair while shampooing and conditioning. In addition, it also helps get rid of knots smoothly.





The best time to get rid of knots is during conditioning. Apply conditioner and run a wide toothed comb gently through your hair.





While untangling dry hair, do so in sections. Take one section at a time, and first, untangle the ends of your hair. Do so slowly, and don?t pull unless you want your hair to fall out in clumps or break.





Don?t wait for the last minute before detangling your hair. Every night, while sitting in front of the television, run a wide toothed comb gently through your hair, until you have untangled it completely. Do this every night, and you will notice that your hair remains free from tangles.





Leave-in conditioner


Dry hair tends to tangle easily, and, needless to say, causes it to break. Make sure your hair is never devoid of moisture by always keeping a bottle of leave-in conditioner handy. The next time you feel your hair is dry and rough to the touch, simply rub a dollop of leave-in conditioner between your palms, and apply it to your hair. Comb through with your wide toothed comb. Your hair will be instantly rejuvenated and moisturized. Gradually, the texture will also improve. This is a must if you blow dry your hair regularly, or if it is chemically treated. Such hair constantly craves moisture, so get yourself a bottle of leave-in conditioner.








Oil


Olive, almond and coconut oils are all excellent for the hair. While you could apply oil as an alternative to leave-in conditioner, oil tends to make your hair sticky, and you cannot style your hair well after applying oil. Your only alternative would then be to tie up your hair. For better results with oil, apply just a few drops immediately after washing your hair, when your hair is still dripping wet. Oil doesn?t penetrate the strands as easily as leave-in conditioner does though. Nothing beats a hot oil massage followed by a steam treatment, as the steam helps the oil penetrate the hair strands, strengthening them and curtailing hair fall.








Egg


Egg is great for the hair ? there are no two ways about it! True, it causes a tremendous stink in the bathroom, and your hair may let off an ?eggy? smell, but the results are instantaneous and worth it! Egg strengthens your hair almost immediately, and the egg yolk leaves your hair shining. Whip an egg with two tablespoons of olive oil and apply it to your hair. Wash off after half an hour. Make sure you wash off with cold water though, or the egg will start cooking in your hair, and would be harder to take off! Use a scented shampoo to counter the smell of egg in your hair, and follow up with a leave-in conditioner. Do this for a month, and you will be amazed by the change in your hair texture and the reduction in hair fall.I'm only 33 year old woman and I'm experiencing hair loss. It's quite embarassing. Any suggestion?
There is rogaine for women. Just get it at the drug store. If this doesnt help, a doctor can prescribe some stronger stuff.I'm only 33 year old woman and I'm experiencing hair loss. It's quite embarassing. Any suggestion?
See a doctor. It's probably hormonal and could be your thyroid. Hair loss is a common symptom of a thyroid problem.
See your doctor about it. Hair loss after pregnancy and going off birth control is normal if either apply. But, woman can lose their hair too.





Hair replacement is one option.
you should avoid wearing hat to prevent hair loss and for the mean time lessen the use of conditioner or anything that can damage the hair such as hair colors(highlights),ironing and many more.hope that i help even a little bit
I would look into Rogaine as the other answer suggested. I would also look into nutritional supplements. I would find someone who works in alternative medicine for guidance. In my reading, there are lots of things that can cause hair loss; too many to name, in fact. As far as I know, traditional medicine looks at hair loss as irreversable. But I don't think alternative medicine does. I'd start reading up on it if I was you, and you may be able to determine your cause for your particular case as you know your situation best. Good luck to you. I wouldn't give up if it was me, either.
Hair loss can be caused by various problems. Such as medical conditions, hormones and medicine.


I suggest you call your doctor and get a professional opinion.


I've been a licensed cosmetologist for thirty years.


Hope this helps.
did you try lathering your scalp daily with peanut butter?

Any other women out there experiencing thinning or hair loss?

I'm only 28 and not happy about mine...Any other women out there experiencing thinning or hair loss?
I am. Have been for a little while. I am 34 now. I talked to my dermatologist about it. She said that there are 2 options. Propecia, which is not FDA approved and Rogaine for women. Either one of these requires a lifetime commitment.



There is a shampoo called Nioxin which ';promotes a healthy scalp environment'; and is supposed to help your hair to not fall out. It did help slow it down for me. They also suggest taking vitamins. They have a website where you can read about it.



I also just heard on the news that scientists have isolated a specific gene in our DNA that tells your body to grow hair and they think that they may be able to do something with that to help people. Keep your ears open for that. It seems more promising than the other options.



In the meantime... do not brush excessively. Do not scrub, scratch or pull at your hair. Treat your hair gently. Some people will pull their hair up so that it covers the thinning area. You can usually do that pretty gracefully.



Also; it could be a sign of a thyroid disorder and/or lupus or something like that. If you have any other symptoms you may want to talk to a doctor about it. If there is an underlying issue then you could solve the hair problem and really help yourself at the same time.Any other women out there experiencing thinning or hair loss?
There are LOTS of women experiencing hair loss... You can visit with them one-on-one at a very special discussion forum that was created specifically with women in mind at http://www.herhairlosshelp.com. All of these women have some form of hair loss and can give you valuable support and answer your questions.

no but some hair loss comes from stress.
You are not alone. It is very common. This site has a good article about hair loss in women
If you are noticing an increase in shedding then its important to go to your doctor for some blood work to make sure its not related to an malfunction somewhere in your body.It is normal to loose around 100 hairs per day on average.



these are some hair health tips to keep in mind



1.) Seaweeds,help stimulate the thyroid and give minerals for the proper health of the hair



2.) Spinach is great for the hair,contains lots of minerals,as are all the green vegetables.



3.) Protein your hair is made of protein so make sure you are getting it in either animal or vegetable form such as fish,chicken,beef,legumes,nuts... and cheese.Or protein drinks.



4.) take a good b-vitamin supplement with biotin which increases hair growth.



5.)MSM contains naturally occuring sulfer and will make your hair and nails grow faster.



6.) silica



this combined with a good scalp massage with herbal hair oil will do wonders for your hair. Avoid brushing ur hair when its wet,and use a natural shampoo that does not contain harsh or heavy cleansers with sodium laureth sulfates.
It just doesn't happen only to men.
Omigod, everytime I wash my hair (which is everyday) clumps come out. Its kinda scary and frustrating!! I wonder what causes it? Anyway, good luck sister!
Here's what you gotta do:



1. Get a vitamin E capsule (most of them comes in gel capsule form that has a liquid inside. Any brand will do.)

2. Get a needle and pop the capsule.

3. Now get your shampoo bottle and put the liquid vitamin E inside the bottle.

4. Mix the bottle.

5. Use your shampoo.





You'll notice that your hair will grow faster compared before. Trust me, this works. :) I also do this myself. :)





If you have virgin coconut oil at home, you can use this as well. Put it on hair and leave it for at least 30 minutes (You can do this at least 3x a day). Then rinse it off using your shampoo. The VCO can act as your hair lengthener and as your conditioner. :) Goodluck! :) (Refer to my avatar to see how well VCO/Vitamin E works =P)

22 year-old woman experiencing hair loss- PLZ Help!?

y parents have lush thick black hair, and I did too up until a month ago. Everyone is telling me it's from stress but I'm not under a significant amount of stress. I noticed it when I was pulling my hair back in a pony tail and the thickness was almost half of what it typically is. I'm starting to get very concerned and obsessing over it. I don't have health insurance, so I can't see a dermatologist or hair specialist, but my school has a health center that I plan on going to. Any suggestions/ideas? Serious answers only please. I appreciate it!!22 year-old woman experiencing hair loss- PLZ Help!?
Okay, sweetheart, first off, even if you can't see a dermatologist as you don't have insurance, the school health center will have primary care doctors that can at least examine your scalp to determine the pattern of loss. Secondly, if this hair loss has occurred over the course of a month, you'd be well advised to have the family doctor at the health center or whoever the caretaker is... have them refer you to a dermatologist to ensure that there is not a serious underlying condition, or that if this is a manifestation of a systemic disorder, that the appropriate blood work and medication can be obtained.





Lastly, consider re-posting your question under Science%26gt;Medicine or under Healthcare%26gt;Skin. There are other doctors who frequent those forums who very well may be Dermatologists and can offer you a more sophisticated response.





I wish you well.22 year-old woman experiencing hair loss- PLZ Help!?
Have you had fever in the last few weeks? I had strep one time and had a 103 fever and a few weeks after experienced some significant hair loss. General anesthesia can do that too. Its temporary.





Also, do you have dry skin, dry eyes, brittle nails, and or constipation? You could have a thyroid condition.

It's definitely devastating. It's been shown in studies that women who have hair loss have problems with interpersonal relationships, they have loss of self-esteem, and it really can have a tremendous psychosocial type of impact. They tend to be more introverted. And again, there are so many excellent treatments that are now available, and it's really not necessary for you to have to deal with this sort of emotional trauma.

Has anyone experienced increased hair loss while using Women's Rogaine?

I started using Women's Rogaine about 2 weeks ago and now my hair is falling off more. Does anyone know if the hairloss stops with time or should I stop using the product?Has anyone experienced increased hair loss while using Women's Rogaine?
Be careful... is there an 800 # on the box? I would call it and speak with a specialist just to be sure. Or, you could call your hair stylist or even your doctor. You may be allergic to an active ingredient in the product.

What can cause a young woman in her 20s to experience hair loss when she is not stressing?

Hair loss does not run in the family especially not from ages 21 to 28. Hair has been thinning out since the age of 21 and stress is not an issue.What can cause a young woman in her 20s to experience hair loss when she is not stressing?
nothing but two reasons


one is genetical. you cannot change


other is the environment . bad water,(salt water),over usage of chemicals,shampoo etcWhat can cause a young woman in her 20s to experience hair loss when she is not stressing?
maybe she doesnt eat healthy food which her hair %26amp;body need it .
It could be a vitamin issue, I would consult a nutritionist.
This has happened to me. She should get a blood test done to see if it may be her thyroid or even iron deficiency. Telogen Effluvian is the diagnostic name that encompases such hair loss.


I purchased some nice headbands that expand to cover the whole head so to disguise the patchy hair loss as it happened.
Malnutrition, chemicals or just thinning hair.
She should have her thyroid checked.
Anemia. You may want to consider going to the doctor soon to get bloodwork (including a ferritin test) done, especially considering that each hair you lose will take a long time to grow back. May sound like a simple solution, but it would be worth it to find out from a doctor how to take care of this problem and push it out of your life for good. Good luck.
