Hair loss in men is an accepted form of aging in today's society however, the same is not true of the same affliction in women. Whilst we seem a long way from being able to switch these follicles back on, there are many treatments and help available.
The first thing to understand with any such condition is that it will, in almost all cases, be a temporary condition. It will most likely be due to discrepancies with your diet or lifestyle. It could also be caused by stress, so try to take a look at your general well being as a first step.
Should the issue continue, you should seek guidance from your doctor or registered professional, in order they can seek the most appropriate care and uncover any underlying conditions, (such as hormonal issues or family history of female hair loss). There are no miracle cures; despite what many suggest on the internet.
Whilst no cures exist, there are some treatments that prove effective for some. Minoxidil, developed originally for the treatment of high blood pressure is probably the best known. Applied directly to the scalp, up to 40% of sufferers see minimal re-growth, whilst 20% of people can see quite significant improvements.
The lotion is also only successful for younger women, between the ages of eighteen and forty-five, and needs to be part of your daily routine to continue working. If treatment is topped suddenly, hair loss will recur quite quickly and could be more dramatic than before.
Many people manage to cope with the condition through the use of wigs or hair thickening lotions and shampoos however; surgery can be elected to be performed in extreme circumstances. Such a decision should only be taken with appropriate guidance however, and after long thoughtful consideration.
Whilst surgery can be performed, though should only be used in the most extreme of cases and only then as a very final resort. Coming in two main forms, hair transplanting and scalp reduction, surgery is painful and is very invasive to the patient.
Finally, if you are suffering from hair loss, it is important to understand that things such as washing, coloring, combing and brushing are in no way linked to the condition. The hair is a resilient part of the human body, and takes a lot of external influences to affect its condition.
