My wife's hair is really thinning out. Any suggestions for hair loss?

My wife's hair is really thinning out,She's hardly ever has a day off of work, n uses hairspray everyday, How often does she need to let her hair breath..? Does anyone know what's good for hair loss?My wife's hair is really thinning out. Any suggestions for hair loss?
Actually some time stressors to your system, such as illness, high fever, pregnancy, extreme weight loss or gain, and drug use, can cause temporary hair loss. This occurs when the ratio of growing to resting hairs is upset and more of the growing hair shifts into a resting phase. A greater quantity of normally sleeping hairs falls out, prompting a visit to the dermatologist. This type of hair loss is temporary and full regrowth should be expected. If she is such type of hair loss then this is not worrysome thing.





Second thing regarding thinining of hair in women is female pattern baldness. In which thinning of hair is more severe on the front, the temples and at the top. Some hair is generally present at the hair line despite patches of extensive baldness in rest of the scalp.

Hair loss can be attributed to a variety of things. You said she doesn't take much time off work which can indicate a high level of stress. In very stressful situations, hair will fall out in alarming amounts.





When was the last time she had a check up? Hair loss can also be a symptom of thyroid problems. She may want to speak to her general practitioner or a dermatologist for possible health problems.





Using hairspray everyday and blow drying aren't major factors in hair loss. If she is washing her hair nightly, it keeps her hair healthy. But if the problem persists, I suggest seeking medical advise.
Female hair loss is most often caused by similar genetic and hormonal triggers as cause pattern hair loss in men. Women do not typically suffer from a receding hair line which is characteristic of male pattern baldness. However, for millions of women the hair does become thinner and finer over time.





It is not uncommon for women in their late thirties or early forties to begin losing hair. This is thought in a meaningful degree to be related to hormonal changes that define entry into menopause.





Drug based treatment options for women include those readily available for men such as 2% minoxidil. However 5% minoxidil and oral finasteride are not indicated for use by women. Interestingly, spironolactone and flutamide, drugs wholly unsuitable for men suffering hair loss, have been used successfully by some females. Each drug mentioned has potential side effects which must be carefully considered against its potential benefit.





Non-drug based treatment choices, based on botanicals such as saw palmetto and other naturally-derived substances now exist. The advantage of this approach is the low incidence of negative side effect. The disadvantage is the lack of standardization in dosage and potency which ranges across a broad spectrum depending on the product selected. Further, many non-drug hair loss treatment products offer little or no objective evidence to support their claims and instead rely on tactics like testimonials --- often of questionable pedigree.





Regardless of the mode of treatment considered, hair loss therapy should only follow once a definitive diagnosis has been obtained. Baseline photos should be taken and follow up photos taken on a regular basis in order to determine the benefit one's treatment is --- or is not providing.





For women concerned about hair loss it is best to enlist the aid of one's primary care physician. In this as in other areas of health related issues, your doctor is almost always your best advocate.

There are a lot of reasons why your wife's hairs are falling. One of the main condition can be considered as Telogen Effluvium, which is a shock of your body's system causing the hair to fall out in vast amounts over a short period of time.





Firstly you will have to get to the center of the problem and based on your question it's mostly stress or age related that causes the hair loss..not the hair spray. Hair sprays are not known as a cause of hair loss because hair loss happens beneath the hair follicles.. It might be related to an underlying medical symptom.
Been on minoxidil ( R0gaine) for about a year and a half and have not seen even the smallest amount of regrowth that i almost fell into depression.





My hair only started visibly growing on the balding spot after attempting the various natural techniques to re-grow lost hair for about 1 week plus @ http://www.regrowmyhair.info





I would highly recommend the website easy to follow step-by-step guide with images to anyone who is suffering from hair loss right now. But remember this isn't a miracle cure for baldness as you will also need to put in some effort in order to see results. And its only a minimum commitment of 15 minutes a day to help re-grow your lost hair.





I am also convinced that the natural approach is much more safer and effective way of re-growing lost hair compared to those unnatural ways which may involve harsh chemicals that may have side effects.





Side Effects Of Minoxidil : Cause a fall in blood pressure, an increase in the heart rate, and weight gain (fluid retention)

Hair loss can just be hereditary, or a sign of a significant health problem. Hair loss can be a symptom of thyroid disease or celiac disease (wheat allergy) to just name a few. Stress or hair products probably are not the source of the problem, but stress can contribute to symptoms of disease. A trip to her physician might be the best action. For more info on Celiac disease see www.celiac.org.
hairspray will make hair brittle and break stop using it. does she dye her hair too? if she does try using a rinse or semi permanent because the peroxide in dye can really do damage long term. an old wog remedy for hair loss is to getstinging nettle ( use gloves obviously) and put in a pot of boiling water as if to make tea, remove nettle and cool water, use this to wash hair its supposed to be good to stop hair falling out.
Hm, she should use less of the hairspray, maybe she can try other products like gel...


And if she often dyes her hair to cover grays, etc, she should slow down to about once a month if she's doing it more than that amount...


%26amp; she can try dye that's specifically made for gray hair coverage where you only put the dye on the roots...





any thickening/volumizing shampoo %26amp; conditioner should help.
Robert, One of my college roomates started loosing his hair last year. After several types of herbal, homebrew, and who knows what from the internet, he ultimately chose to visit a hair loss center. Initially he was scared to go becasue he was scared it would cost too much, but he learned a lot from the free consultations. After 12 months he is finally starting to regain some hair. I wish I know exactly what treatment he is using, but maybe you could call a local clinic. http://www.hairlossandtreatment.com
