Answer 1

You can stop hair loss using many cheap and effective home remedies.Egg white, lemon juice, oil massage are other home remedies at http://www.wellnesstalk.org/hairfall.html will prevent further problems.

Answer 2

I'm a man, who started going bald around the hairline at 20 years old. I started using rogaine for men, mixed with bioxin shampoo (two different products). I think I have more hair now then when I started losing it at 20.

They make Rogaine for women, and yes women do go bald. But this would probly work. You can buy it online so that you don't have to go to the store and get it. I do that.

Answer 3

Yes, women go bald and it's far more common than you think.

It's hormonal, and to a considerable extent it's determined before you're even born. It's related to testosterone the "male" hormone, though all women produce some too.

* exposure to high levels of testosterone in the first few weeks of foetal development will cause the body to be very sensitive to later exposure to testosterone. There's a very easy way of telling if you've had this exposure -- if your ring (4th) fingers are longer than your index fingers, there's been ante-natal exposure to very high levels of testosterone.

* women normally produce relatively low levels of testosterone. But some women produce it at approximately the same level as males. You can have your testosterone levels checked, but a simple test won't actually tell you much.

* Women produce SHBG which "binds" most of the testosterone they produce and stop it having very much effect. If you've low levels of SHBG you may have high levels of "unbound" or "free" testosterone and this can cause balding and also cause other effects like general hairiness, moustache and beard growth, lower-pitched voice etc.

* Women normally produce high levels of estrogen which negates much of the effect of testosterone. If your estrogen levels are low, it has much the same effect as high testosterone levels.

So the questions you want to have answers to are

1. Digit Ratio ( the relative lengths of ring and index fingers)

2. Any other signs of high levels of free testosterone -- e.g. body or facial hair, lower voice etc.

3. Actual levels of free testosterone, estrogen etc.

As far as what you can do is concerned, there's

* Rogaine

* Birth control pills or other methods of increasing estrogen levels

But in the long term there's not a simple answer. If there was a simple answer, there wouldn't be bald men!

If it's "male pattern" baldness ( which is very common among women) it'll probably recede at the temples first and then thin on top of the head.

Probably the least difficult way of addressing the situation is to make a practice of wearing a wig as a fashion item occasionally, without making a secret of it. Then if there's reason later on to wear one more frequently or permanently, there'll be no big deal about it.

There are far more women suffer from all this than you probably realise.

Answer 4

There is this product in boots for thining hair for women that have it genes. its called regaine or somethink like that. And also I would go to a doctor before u get totally bald and try to prevent this.

Answer 5

Yes, some women do go bald/have thinning hair.
A neighbor of mine was older and she had very thin hair. Looked like a doll with most of her hair pulled out.
They do have hair regrowth stuff for women like they do for men (like rogaine for women), and of course they have hair replacement procedures like for men, as well.

Answer 6

I can sympathize..I am 28 and have long hair, very fine, thick underneath but thinning on top and sides. Mine is hereditary from my mother. I have never tried any kind of medical or chemical treatments, or wigs or anything. Sometimes I think I would like to do something about it, but treatments can be expensive. I just deal with it as one of my physical attributes and leave it at that. How yours turns out depends on whether your condition is hereditary or medical. And how you choose to cope with it is your decision as well. Believe me, I know how self-conscious it can make you feel, but as long as you are a strong, self-confident woman as myself, you will be able to handle it, trust me.

Answer 7

Yeah, me too. My doctor says my thyroid levels contribute to my rising forehead, but I have other women in my family that have receeding hairlines like the men. Have your hormone levels checked? I honestly think mine has a lot to do with heredity.

Answer 8

properly, As Im a lady, i love boys who communicate alot and not in any respect that shy. you purely favor to open up somewhat better and perchance human beings will purely imagine you're a exciting guy to loaf round with!
