Consider male pattern baldness, the most common form of hair loss. This is a type of hair loss that is genetically passed from mother to offspring. Most of the time, people with this type of hair loss are men, but sometimes genes can lead to hair loss in women. Male pattern baldness is defined as either a receding hairline or crown pattern baldness, but female pattern baldness is slightly different. In most cases, women's hair thins evenly over the entire head, not just in spots. Sometimes this thinning can be quite severe and result in a woman having to wear a wig to cover her thinning locks. While hair loss in women almost never results in a completely bald head, it can be extreme enough to quite clearly expose the scalp. For women facing this type of hair loss, there are several hair loss treatment options that can be explored. They include shampoos, conditioners, and topical treatments like Rogaine for women that stimulate hair growth and prevent further hair loss; vitamin supplements; and stimulating treatments such as massage and infrared therapy. The most successful of these hair loss treatments are topical treatments. Although they are quite expensive, they provide the best results. Hair loss due to chemical processes No matter how healthy and strong your hair is today, serious hair loss can occur after undergoing a harsh chemical process such as a perm or color. While almost all chemical hair loss is due to operator error, the likelihood of this happening is multiplied by the chemical services you perform on your hair at home. I have seen more than one case of hair loss in clients who bleached their hair at home, recolored it, and then came to the salon for another bleaching. Unaware of this past, the stylist used too strong a chemical and the process resulted in hair loss Consider male pattern baldness, the most common form of hair loss.

You should also refrain from using heat styling tools and other chemical treatments until the hair is fully grown. Hair loss due to stress Cases of severe stress can cause literally handfuls of hair to fall out at once. Women who experience stressful conditions may experience female pattern hair loss represented by thinning all over the head or in areas called alopecia areata. Alopecia areata means "loss of hair in spots or areas" and can result in bald circular patches in one or more areas of the scalp. Although this type of hair loss is concerning, it is not permanent. After de-stressing, most people who suffer from this type of hair loss will regrow all their lost hair. In most cases, treating hair loss caused by stress is negligible. After ruling out other causes of hair loss, your doctor may recommend diet changes or ideas to help reduce stress. Keep in mind that even after stressors are removed, it can take months for your hair to grow back. Hair loss due to illness Long-term illness or surgery can lead to hair loss. Medicines you take to combat certain types of medical conditions can cause your hair to become brittle, brittle, or even fall out completely. The most prominent type of hair loss is chemotherapy-related hair loss. In most cases, this hair loss is complete and affects all parts of the body. Although there is little you can do to prevent this type of hair loss or to promote growth during illness, surgery or chemotherapy, this type of hair loss in women is also temporary.
