How to beat hair loss in Women?
	Hair loss is no laughing matter. While men are more prone to ignoring the onset of baldness, it’s a different story for women. Women are affected emotionally because beautiful or atleast thick hair is associated with femininity. Thinning hair is often equated with diminished femininity. Women & Hair Loss According to a practicing psychiatrist in the United States. “Men often take it in their stride. But for women it is a bigger emotional issue, affecting their feelings of femininity. And while few women actually go bald, many find that hormonal changes can cause them to suffer from hair thinning.” “Women often experience hair loss for the first two or three months after giving birth. The massive production of estrogen during pregnancy puts hair follicles into their ‘growth phase’. After the birth, the hormonal balance is restored and hair follicles go into their ‘loss phase’, causing the hair to fall out.” The Menopause connection Unfortunately too, the onset of menopause may have something to do with the onset of accelerated hair loss. Women who are on contraceptive methods that involve the regular intake of estrogen may also suffer from accelerated hair loss as a side effect. Racial stratification reveals that Asian women are more prone to accelerated hair loss than Caucasians. This is according to the International Society of Hair Restoration, based in England. The Diet Connection While it is true that there are many benefits to a vegetarian diet, hair loss just may occur when a person lacks enough protein and iron. Iron sources in vegetables are often limited, which is why pure vegans may experience more hair loss than mixed vegans or ovo-lacto vegetarians. Those on a fixed fruitarian diet for long periods of time may also suffer from hair loss. Since fruits provide mostly vitamins and fructose, iron is also not part of the equation. This may lead to hair loss and low iron in the bloodstream. Hair Styling = Hair Loss? Overdoing the “salon habit” might also contribute to hair loss. According to hair specialist. “It’s so upsetting that many women are put on antidepressants or tranquillizers because of hair loss. Their self-esteem is dramatically affected, as is their quality of life and they don’t know where to turn. Often the problems is overdoing their meetings with “relaxers” or what not.”
