What is the Best Solution for Women’s Hair Loss? #Divatress #beauty #ad

Hair loss is a common fear that most men face as they get older. However, women can also suffer from hair loss too. Every since I was a teenager, I have always had thick, lush hair so losing my hair hasn't been a huge concern for me until last year. One of the side effects of my medication that helps control my rheumatoid arthritis symptoms is hair loss.

I am super thankful that my hair loss was only temporary but it got me thinking about the future. When I was younger, I remember my grandmother complain about her hair. She didn't lose all of her hair but it was super thin. It is normal to lose hair on a daily basis. Since I have long hair, I tend to notice it more when it falls out. However, losing huge clumps of hair isn't normal and you should schedule an appointment with your health care provider.

Even though most women don't completely lose their hair like men tend to do, you might notice that you are losing hair along the crown of your head or where you part your hair on a regular basis. Here are a few reasons why you are noticing an increase in hair loss.

menopause

after pregnancy

excessive stress

trauma

improper diet

inadequate nutrition

medication side effects

chemo

using rubber bands in your hair

rough handling when styling or brushing your hair

recent infection or illness

using too many chemicals in your hair ie bleaching

hereditary

thyroid disorders

anemia

low vitamin D

polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

autoimmune disorders

psoriasis

low vitamin B

drastic weight loss

If you continue to lose your hair in large clumps, please see your health care provider to rule out a medical condition that could be causing it. Don't worry there are plenty of things that you can do to stop or attempt to reduce your hair loss.

Hair Loss Creams

Hair loss creams that contain the active ingredient Minoxidil. Minoxidil helps stimulate shrunken hair follicles. You might not feel like this product is working during the first several months. Remember new hair is similar to a newborn babies hair. It is soft like peach fuzz. Around the fourth month, you should start to notice regrowth.

It is inexpensive to use and doesn't require going to the doctor on a regular basis. Do not use this product if you have open wounds or a sensitive scalp. Test a small spot on your head to determine if you have a reaction to the product.

Wigs

Many women who lose their hair, turn to wearing wigs so that their hair still looks natural. If I lost all of my hair due to the medication that I take to control my rheumatoid arthritis, I would use a wig in a heartbeat. A wig looks similar to natural hair and comes in a variety of hairstyles and colors.

As I was looking for a reputable company to purchase a wig from, I found DivaTress. They are a popular e-commerce site that caters to professional stylists, beauticians, working mothers, students, and people who are looking for another solution for their hair loss problems.

I found several outre hair wigs that I would love to try on. Wigs can be rather expensive but not at DivaTress. They are reasonable so that you can purchase several different styles to wear. They have a variety of styles for both short and long hairstyles.

Hair Transplants

Losing your hair can kill your self-confidence especially if you can hear other people snickering about your hair loss behind your back. Hair transplants is a medical procedure that transplants new hair follicles where you have noticed hair loss or thinning. This procedure is very expensive and it isn't guaranteed to work.

Hair transplant procedures usually is an all day process and it is performed under general anesthesia and sedation. You can expect to have some discomfort and numbness where the hair follicles were harvested and then transplanted. Also, you might be alarmed that the hair follicles fall out within a month after the transplant was performed. Don't worry, you should see new hair growth around the three-month mark. You might also have to have a follow-up procedure if the hair is still thin in places or there is a large amount of scar tissue.

Hair loss for women is not an uncommon problem and our hair is something that we tend to take for granted. If you have ever experienced hair loss, it can cause you to panic. Each person tends to shed up to 200 pieces of hair on a daily basis.

Your health care provider will be able to run a few tests to determine a possible cause for your hair loss and help you correct the medical condition. If not, there are a few common women's hair loss solutions to help you regain your hair and confidence.
