Nov 16, Complete Baldness

I've had many traumatic events in my life: 3 bouts with cancer, multiple surgeries, a husband who left me when I was diagnosed (after 19 yrs),a very nasty divorce, 3 family deaths, severe adrenal fatigue... All of my body hair fell out, everything, everywhere. I had a aurgery as recently as 10 months ago. I've been completely bald for 2 years. I am now 50. My hair keeps starting to grow in but quickly falls out. I was contemplating having a hair restoration procedure but my doctors advised waiting. Any ideas? Thank-you.

Editor's Comments,

Hello there. Sorry to hear about your condition but just to let you know that you are not alone. There are millions of hair loss sufferers that share the same plight with you. Be strong and you will sure to overcome these tests.

As for your hair condition, I would strongly suggest listening to your doctor's advice in not doing anything now until he or she thinks you are ready. It will be quite tough growing back the hairs and also hair restoration doesn't seem to be a good option for your case as you will have to further endow more surgical procedures and medications.

Many people with your condition opt for hair prosthesis or hair wigs because it's a durable option. High quality wigs nowadays are very natural looking and unless inspected up real close, nobody can actually tell the difference. I do think that this is a more feasible option for you considering the fact that your body might not be strong enough now to support healthy hair growth. Maybe you can use this as a temporary remedy for hair loss until you recover?

Nov 19, Hair thinned so much in two months.

Hair Falling Out

Hi.

I first noticed that my hair line will start to recede when I was 19 years old. Today I'm almost 23 and in the 4 year since I noticed it has only receded a bit on both sides of the forehead. Every year I noticed a bit of change but really not much.

But.

This summer I went to the US to work a summer job. Before I left for the US, I had some exams I had to pass for college. They put a lot of weight on me, I had to study like 1000 pages in 2 weeks. Then my teachers lied to me about taking the exams and so on. So I was stressed out about that. Then during the summer I worked 90 days with no days off, every day I would get up at 5 am and I would work 12-13 hours a day. During which mid July I got very sick, and worked with a fever and heavy back pain for 10 days. It was hell. I got better by the 1st of August.

Then all was fine until mid Sept, when I noticed that there was a slight change in volume of my hair. I wasn't as dense as before. When I got back home at the 20th of Sept. The first shower I took my bath tub was filled with hair.

I've never lost so much hair in the shower. But I thought ok, this might be something like a change of a climate or something. Then I would style my hair one way. The next week I had trouble styling it the same way. Then I would style it another way, two weeks after that I would have trouble styling that way too.

Then took a bath one day and noticed my tub was filled with hair. I have never seen so much hair in my life in a bath tub. Now you could see my scalp through my hair this was never the case before. I was very paranoid about my hair because of the slight recession and would have my fingers through it all the time. I knew the volume and such. I was shedding like crazy I would run my fingers through my head I would have like 10-15 hairs in it.

The shedding stopped at the very end of Oct. But I lost so much hair in such a short time. Every one that sees me asks me what happened to my hair. Am I losing my hair?
The hairs do have the white bulbs, those are quite visible. My problem is that the hair has thinned on top the most, the sides have thinned too, but the back not so much. But it has thinned too. Hair falls out when I run my fingers there too.

I spend a lot of time looking at photos. This has happened in such a short time I'm freaked out. My local dermatologist told me it?s MPB it must have been going on for quite some time. I tried to tell her this has happened so sudden. She said that is not so, I just didn't notice it. I went to a hair specialist he did a trichogram and said a lot of hair are in a telogenized state, from the top and the back too. But he didn't offer much advice, just said he thinks things are gonna stabilize.

I'm thinking this is TE, but I'm not sure because I had a very slight recession. But there is no chance I had been thinning so bad for so long because I had my hair cut short 4 months ago, shorter than now and used hair gel to style it and I didn't notice anything like this. Nor did anyone say something to me. Nor did anyone say something to me about hair loss a month ago. Now everyone is asking me.

The hair line has not changed at all it has thinned the same as the rest of the scalp. I even see short hairs all over the scalp. Along the hair line I see some very small hairs here and there, and some slightly bigger ones.
Someone offer some advice if you can please. Thank you

Editor?s Comments,

Hi there, like most cases of sudden hair loss, it?s often related to an abrupt change of your hair growth cycle. There are many reasons for that and it could be related to stress that you are facing in college or probably due to you falling ill all the way back in July.

Usually the sudden hair loss will only occur after 2-3 months after the period of ?shock? and for your case, it does fit with the time that you fall sick. During that time, large amounts of hair will shut down and enter the Telogen phase and will rest until they are ready to fall out 2-3 months later. The hair loss can be tremendous if you are having serious acute Telogen Effluvium and you can notice many hairs falling about.

In most cases, the extreme hair loss will cease and return to the normal rate and if everything is well, you should notice the parts that you lost your hair slowly grow back up again. It will take some time for the hair to grow but you should feel consoled that it?s highly unlikely a permanent situation. Just keep calm and try to relax more. Do some routine scalp massage and keep a healthy lifestyle and that will help improve hair growth.

Aug 4, Managing Thinning Hair in Women

From Celebrity Stylist THOM PRIANO | Article Sponsored by ROGAINE©
Celebrity stylist and men's grooming expert, Thom Priano of The GARREN New York Salon has worked with the world's top photographers, fashion companies and magazines to create the most stylish looks for male and female celebrities from the worlds of Hollywood, sports, music and fashion. ?I see hair loss in my salon every day,? says Priano. ?When a woman first starts to notice hair loss, the experience is incredibly emotional. Hair is a woman's crowning glory -- but unlike men, women don't expect to lose their hair, says Priano.

The first thing I tell the client is that she's not alone. In fact, one in four women experience hereditary hair loss -- and by age 40, 40% of women show some degree of thinning hair, he adds.

An expert in women's styling and treating thinning hair, Priano offers the following advice to his female clients with thinning hair / hair loss:

Normally we lose between 50 to 100 hairs a day -- but a consistent loss of 150 plus hairs is considered significant hair loss. Since women's hair loss is more diffuse than men's, they tend not to notice just one spot.

By the time most women notice thinning hair, they have already lost at least 50% of their hair. ?It's important to seek treatment as soon as you notice the first signs of hair loss, such as more hair on your brush, pillowcase, or in the bathroom drain.?

It's important to note the difference between Female Pattern Hair Loss and cosmetic loss. If you notice hair falling out with the bulb attached, this is considered true hair loss, which is different from the cosmetic loss that results from shedding split ends.

Female Pattern Hair Loss is, by far, the most common and permanent form of hair loss, accounting for 95% of all hair loss in women. Women's ROGAINE? is the ONLY FDA approved treatment clinically proven to help stop Female Pattern Hair Loss.

Other factors such as hormones from pregnancy or a thyroid condition, crash dieting, and certain medications have been shown to cause temporary hair loss (Telogen Effluvium). However, if you have hereditary hair loss in your family, your hair may not grow back as thick as it was before the temporary loss.

Choosing The Right Products: ?For my clients with hair loss, I suggest Women's ROGAINE?,? says Priano. It's the ONLY brand FDA-approved to regrow hair in women.

?If you have thinning hair, there are many hair care and styling products that really help make hair appear thicker. Look for anything with a "V" that adds VOLUME to the hair (shampoo, conditioner, gel, mousse, cream, or spray) says Priano. ?However, Women's ROGAINE? is the only product that is FDA-approved to regrow hair.

When choosing a brush or comb for thinning hair, look for a wide tooth comb or plastic brush with rounded tips (despite popular belief, plastic with rounded tips is more gentle than sharp bristles.)

?There are different ways to cut and style your hair to help it appear thicker, says Priano. Layered cuts can add volume to your hair -- whether it's curly, wavy or straight. Stick with minimal layers, rather than heavy ones that can look flat.Consider cutting deep bangs to help mask thinning hair on the top of the head.Try a zig-zag part and a ?messy? style.Remember, everyone's hair is different, so work closely with your stylist for a look that fits you best.

?Hair color can also play a big part in masking hair loss,? says Priano. ?Darker shades play up the contrast between hair and scalp, while lighter shades that are closer to your skin tone can actually help camouflage thinning hair,? adds Priano, who recommends highlights. ?Coloring your mane also expands the hair shaft which makes hair appear thicker,? says Priano.

Women's ROGAINE can be used on color treated or permed hair. The only thing I suggest is not to use ROGAINE on the day you have the actual treatment, if you are worried about scalp irritation. You can blow dry thinning hair but don't over blow dry, and try to use a medium to low setting. If you are thinning on top, try not to blow dry hair away from the root. A diffuser can also help give shape to thinning hair.For the best result, Priano recommends letting hair dry naturally so it lays closer to the scalp.?Fine, thinning hair is already fragile and can be further damaged by over washing, over brushing or over combing,? says Priano. Try these surefire tips to keep the hair you have healthy and strong: Gently wash hair with a gentle, volumizing shampoo and follow with a lightweight conditioner. Avoid tangling which roughs up the hair cuticle.

Did you know the cuticles on damaged or thinning hair are like shingles on a rooftop. If you don't use conditioner, they rub back and forth creating more damage, which could lead to more hair loss from breakage. Conditioner smoothes them down to protect hair against further damage. Just choose a lightweight conditioner that won't weigh hair down.

The Causes of Thinning Hair and Treatment For Hair Loss

There are a number of different things that can cause thinning hair and loss. Some include hormonal problems, depression, stress, unhealthy eating habits, drugs, and some types of medical conditions. Poor or excessive hygiene can also play a role. Many people don't realize that washing hair every single day can dry it out and cause it to fall out. Some women may even experience hair loss after giving birth. There is no leading cause, and many people suffer from loss of hair for different reasons.

Some medicines are believed to play a role. Blood thinners, medicines that are used for gout, birth control pills, anti-depressants, and chemotherapy treatments are thought to cause hair loss. Vitamin A can even be a cause if used too much. Those suffering from such side effects need to talk to their doctors before stopping their medication, since it's never a good idea to simply stop taking medicine---especially when it's needed.

Some illnesses and infections can cause thinning hair as well. Children can even lose hair from having fungal infections. Fortunately, it can easily be treated with anti-fungal medication. Some diseases have underlying side effects that may cause hair to fall out.

Diabetes and lupus, for instance, are two well known diseases that can cause such problems. It is believed that hair thinning and loss of hair may even be early signs of diseases, therefore anyone suffering from hair loss needs to find out the underlying cause.

Fortunately, there are treatments out there that can stop hair from falling out and prevent baldness. Most people have heard of Rogaine before, and there are other medicines as well, both over the counter and prescription. Some products are for men and some for women.

Some hair loss products need to be taken orally while others applied on the scalp. Before trying any though, a physician should always be consulted.

Some people prefer using natural treatments. While there's not a lot of known medical or scientific evidence that natural, alternative solutions work, many sufferers swear by them. There are shampoos, topical lotions, conditioners, and herbal remedies that are used by some as hair loss products.

There is a lot of information on the internet about different types of products as well as testimonials and reviews, There is also plenty of information about the scientific standpoint written from every view point, including those who swear by alternative, herbal hair loss products and those who are skeptical.

The Truth, My Mom and Hair Loss

The doctors said that its normal to shed hair every day, that's what they told my mom as she gradually went bald, 100-125 hairs just fall from your head on a daily basis. Hello, my name is Joseph and I'm no so called expert but I had to write this article, because it's about someone I love, and it happens to be the truth. 

After all the heart ache, embarrassment, jokes, and trials, my mom has a healthy head of hair again, about three years ago my mother (Janie) was working with the Board of Education for Maryland's School system when she passed out at work, she had to be hospitalized and no one knew what the problem was. 

Finally she was taken to John Hopkins Hospital where some scans and other tests were performed, a neurologist informed her that she had a rare brain disorder. There is a technical name for it but the most common name is White Matters Disease of the brain, because of this disease Mom (Janie) was give many different treatments, including steroids, and several other medications, that I can't pronounce. 

The treatments and medications helped get the disease under control but changed her hormonal balance, made her weight flux, and started thinning out her hair until some patches began to form. It was at that point where my mother (Janie) decided to do something about her hair loss, she told me that, just because she was sick, she didn't have to look like it.

Hiding her hair under wigs and scarves seemed to make the matters worse, she didn't know where to turn so she talked to her doctor and asked me to help her look up some information on the web, and from that point we researched all that we could about hair loss and hair growth. 

By doing this we learned some very important facts about hair loss such as, conditions know as hypothyroidism, ringworm and fungal infections can cause hair loss, certain medications such as blood thinners, gout medication, birth control pills, and too much vitamin A can cause sudden or abnormal hair loss, as well as following a crash diet, sudden hormonal changes, chemotherapy and radiation. 

Did you know that you can begin to suffer from hair loss and not know it until 2 or 3 months after a stressful situation has occurred? Wearing pigtails, tight cornrows or rollers that pull on the hair can scar the scalp and cause permanent hair loss. Hair products and chemicals used for permanents can cause inflammation to the hair follicles which can also result in scarring and hair loss.

Androgen tic Alopecia or Male Pattern Baldness as it's often called is hereditary in many families and affects some people more than others, men mainly but it affects women as well. Men and women produce testosterone, which can be converted to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and this causes the hair follicles to shrink, the scalp thickens and restricts the blood flow, so when hair falls out of the scalp it is not replaced.

After a lot of trial and error Mom (Janie) found something that has worked for her, she didn't want surgery or hair plugs, she wanted her hair to grow back naturally so she tried everything from creams and shampoos to over the counter type meds like Propecia and Herbal Growth, just to name a few. 

Honestly, there was little or no growth with some of the products and we're talking about a two year period of time, but my mother is much happier with the product she has used more recently simply because it works, even though she's still fighting off the disease, you would never know it because she looks so much healthier and I'm happy because she's happy.   

After watching my mom go through all that she did and helping her find the solution to her hair loss, I knew her story would be helpful to other men and women going through the same problem. Thanks for taking the time to read this article, best wishes to you from me.

What Is Normal Hair Loss - Woman Ask

We all lose between 40 and 120 hairs a day from our head, depending how much hair we have and what our normal hair growth cycle is like. Women with fine hair have more strands than women with coarse hair so they tend to lose more.

The average scalp contains about 100,000 hairs and hair on the head grows about half an inch each month. What is normal hair loss, women often wonder to themselves, worrying about what looks like a lot of hair on the hairbrush or in the shower.

A strand of hair grows for between 2 and 6 years and then fall out. A new hair starts to grow in its place. At any one time, about 15% of the hair is resting and the other 85% is growing. Hair is made up of keratin, which is a type of protein.

A hair consists of the hair shaft, a root beneath the skin and a follicle from which the hair root grows. The hair bulb is under the follicle. This is where the melanin (hair pigment) is produced. Baldness or loss of hair occurs when there is no new hair growing in the place of one that has fallen out.

When it comes to normal hair loss women do vary in the normal shedding amount. If you usually lose 50 strands of hair and you suddenly start losing 100, this can be indicative of a problem. If you can see more of your scalp or your parting seems to be wider, this can also indicate a hair loss problem.

Around 15% of women in the USA suffer from hair loss, which is also known as baldness or alopecia. This often develops gradually and the hair loss might be diffuse (all over) or in certain patches.

Loss of hair is a cosmetic problem. It can also be indicative of an underlying disease or disorder and women suffering from it commonly feel embarrassed or ashamed.

When it comes to normal hair loss women often wonder whether their hair loss is normal or something they should be worrying about. Using harsh shampoos and wearing tight hairstyles or hats can encourage hair loss, as can not getting enough iron in the diet.

Women with long hair often brush their hair and find the brush coated in hairs after just one brushing. Since with normal hair loss, women shed around 100 hairs a day, this is nothing unusual.

The best indicators of a hair loss problem is when more of the scalp seems visible that it was before or you can see bald patchy areas on the scalp.

When worried that their hair loss is not normal hair loss, women should seek the advice of a doctor about what could be causing it.

There are many reasons for hair loss in women including giving birth, the menopause, stress and recovery from an illness. Diagnosing the cause usually means ruling out the things that aren't causing it.

When thinking about normal hair loss women tend to think that 100 hairs a day is excessive but when you think that 100 new hairs will take their place, this is completely normal.
