Female Pattern Baldness (FPB) affects 1 out of every 4 women in the United States. Recent findings have found that the incidence of FPB has been reported to be as low as 8% and as high as 87%. And, it does appear to be as common for women as for men. Most often, menopause is the most frequent time for female hair loss to become apparent
For women hair loss can be even more troubling than for men. Female hair loss is not generally accepted as part of the normal aging process. Society has come to expect a thick, luxurious head of hair as part of the attractiveness in women.
While men and women can both experience pattern baldness, they typically do not lose their hair in the same order or appearance.

Female Hair
Loss
There is no set pattern for female hair loss. Some
women don’t start to lose their hair until later on in life, others find their
hair thinning while they are relatively young.
Many women feel isolated
and alone when their hair starts to thin but it isn’t uncommon. In fact, more
than 1 in 4 women inherit thinning hair.
Many people believe that hair
dryers and tongs can cause women to lose hair. This is not the case.
Over-treating and coloring hair can have an adverse effect and might even cause
hair to break off near the scalp – but it can’t cause long-term hair
loss.
There are many reasons for women to lose their hair but the most
common is hereditary thinning or alopecia – it accounts for 95% of female hair
loss.
Causes of Female Hair Loss
Hormones — One cause of hair loss in women
can be hormonal imbalances. Having an overactive or under active thyroid gland
may cause thinning hair. Treating the thyroid disease will usually help this
type of female hair loss. Hormones can also cause hair loss if female hormones
(estrogens), are out of balance causing women's hair loss. However, if the
hormone imbalance is corrected, the hair loss should stop.
Child
Birth — Child birth may result in sudden hair loss in women. It's
common for many women to notice hair loss after pregnancy - immediately 3 months
after they've had a baby. This too, is caused by hormones. But this is not
something to worry about. During pregnancy, hair shedding during the normal hair
cycle is retarded in by high levels of hormones. Once the hormones have returned
to pre-pregnancy levels, this extra hair is shed with the normal cycle of hair
growth and loss returning over time.
Hair Loss from Menopause and
Hormonal Therapies — causes of female hair loss can come from hormonal
therapies such as Progesterone, a female hormone that inhibits the development
of a new follicle. Hair loss and menopause are commonly linked and result in
thinning hair in older women. Before menopause, about 13 percent of women
experience hair thinning. After menopause, reporting of the problem from women
increases to about 37 percent.

Here's a review of the ingriedients in Provillus
What is Minoxidil?
Minoxidil
was first used in tablet form as a medicine to treat high blood
pressure, but it was noticed that some patients being treated with
Minoxidil experienced excessive hair growth (hypertrichosis) as a
side-effect. Further research showed that by applying Minoxidil in
solution form directly to the scalp, it could prove to be beneficial to
those experiencing topical hair loss.
How Minoxidil Helps Reduce Hair Loss and Increase Hair Growth
Whilst
minoxidil encourages hair growth and hair loss stabilisation, the exact
molecular mechanism operating in the cells that result in hair growth
from Minoxidil is not known. Some experts believe that minoxidil
dilates the blood vessels around hair follicles, increasing the
nutrient supply and encouraging increased hair growth, however, this is
still an unproven theory, as vasodilator drugs other than Minoxidil do
not appear to promote hair growth.
Another theory is that
topical Minoxidil induces a significant increase in DNA synthesis in
hair follicle cells. Minoxidil is a stable and inactive drug. When
applied to the scalp and absorbed into the skin Minoxidil is converted
to an active, unstable product called 'Minoxidil Sulphite'. Our body
produces a catalyst called sulfonyl transferase that converts the
inactive Minoxidil into the unstable active Minoxidil Sulphite.
Minoxidil sulphite activates potassium channels in cells and this is
thought to lead to hair growth.
Whilst there is no conclusive
evidence as to why Minoxidil encourages hair growth, the fact is that
it does, be it to varying degrees.
What is Medroxyprogesterone?
Medroxyprogesterone
(MPG) can be found in our Minoxidil 4 and 5% solutions depending on the
recommendations of the trichologist for each individual. MPG helps to
prevent the hormone derivative 'dihydrotestosterone' from interfering
with the hair follicles function. This complements Minoxidil's reaction
with the follicles, and adds to the response that is achieved. When MPG
is added to Minoxidil it becomes a prescription-only treatment but in
many cases Minoxidil will be provided without MPG contained.
What is Azelaic Acid?
Azelaic
Acid (AA) is added to our 12.5% Minoxidil cream. It works by inhibiting
the enzyme 5-alpha reductase from the areas where the blood supply is
being increased because of the Minoxidil, thus helping to prevent
testosterone converting to dihydrotestosterone, which is the hormone
that causes hair loss. 12.5% minoxidil + Azelaic Acid is a prescription
drug due to the quantity of Minoxidil that it contains and is
exclusively available from the Belgravia Pharmacy.
Getting the Best From Minoxidil
Belgravia
trichologists have found that whilst Minoxidil can help reduce hair
loss and boost hair growth, the degree of success will often depend on
the Minoxidil’s strength. The Minoxidil formulations that we provide
vary from a mild 4% lotion to a stronger 5% Regain lotion, or an
extra-strength 12.5% cream, which is our form of Minoxidil used to
treat very stubborn patches of thinning hair and baldness. Depending on
what is recommended to the individual hair loss sufferer, we can also
provide Minoxidil containing an extra booster – Medroxyprogesterone
(MPG).
Medical experts have also found that treatment for male
pattern hair loss can be further enhanced by combining the use of
Minoxidil with Propecia , which is the most recent clinically proven
and medically approved drug for hair loss. Courses consisting primarily
of Minoxidil and Propecia are the most popular and successful treatment
combinations prescribed at the Belgravia Centre. Click on the link to
find all you need to know about Propecia .
A Belgravia hair loss
treatment course consists of more than just Minoxidil or Propecia, we
find that ‘treatment courses boosters’ are just as important. Find out
about treatment course boosters and how a Belgravia hair loss treatment
course ensures the highest likelihood of hair re-growth.
Side Effects
Like
most other drugs there can be side effects from the use of Minoxidil.
During the past ten years of treating tens of thousands of men and
women at the Belgravia Centre we estimate less than one in one hundred
(1%) incidents of side effects from the use of Minoxidil. Side effects
from Minoxidil ranged from mild facial hair growth, headaches, rashes
and palpitations. All were mild and needed no medical treatment. They
either diminished in a short time during use of Minoxidil, or shortly
after stopping use of Minoxidil.
Vitamin B6 is one of the
B-complex, water-soluble vitamins. Vitamin B6 was discovered in the
1930s during nutrition studies on rats. The vitamin was named
pyridoxine to indicate its structural homology to pyridine. Later it
was shown that vitamin B6 could exist in two other, slightly different,
chemical forms, termed pyridoxal and pyridoxamine. Vitamin B6 is very
essential for body functions and its deficiency can lead to many
disorders including hair loss. [1] It is essential for nerve function,
immune function, protein digestion and is needed for more than 100
enzymes involved in protein metabolism. It is also essential for red
blood cell metabolism. The nervous and immune systems need vitamin B6
to function efficiently. Vitamin B6 promotes hair growth and prevents
hair loss. [2] Grumpiness and irritability are sometimes symptomatic of
a deficiency according to "Body, Mind, and the B Vitamins" by Ruth
Adams and Frank Murray.
Vitamin B6 also helps maintain your
blood glucose (sugar) within a normal range. When caloric intake is low
your body needs vitamin B6 to help convert stored carbohydrate or other
nutrients to glucose to maintain normal blood sugar levels. While a
shortage of vitamin B6 will limit these functions, supplements of this
vitamin do not enhance them in well-nourished individuals
Vitamin
B6 is prevalent in both animal and vegetable food sources. Vitamin B6
is found in a wide variety of foods including fortified cereals, beans,
meat, poultry, fish, and some fruits and vegetables [1,11]. The table
of selected food sources of vitamin B6 suggests many dietary sources of
B6.
Foods high in Vitamin B6
* Ready-to-eat cereal, 100% fortified, 3/4 c: 2 mg of B6 ~ 100% of the recommended daily value (DV)
* Baked potato, flesh and skin, 1 medium: 0.7 mg ~ 35% DV
* Banana, raw, 1 medium: 0.68 mg ~ 34% DV
* Garbanzo beans, canned, 1/2 c: 0.57 mg ~ 30% DV
* Chicken breast, meat only, cooked, 1/2 breast: 0.52 mg ~ 25% DV
* Oatmeal, instant, fortified, 1 packet: 0.42 mg ~ 20% DV
* Pork loin, lean only, cooked, 3 oz: 0.42 mg ~20% DV
* Roast beef, eye of round, lean only, cooked, 3 oz: 0.32 mg ~ 15% DV
* Trout, rainbow, cooked, 3 oz: 0.29 mg ~ 15% DV
* Sunflower seeds, kernels, dry roasted, 1 oz: 0.23 mg ~ 10% DV
* Avocado, raw, sliced, 1/2 cup: 0.2 mg ~ 10% DV
* Salmon, Sockeye, cooked, 3 oz: 0.19 mg ~ 10% DV
* Tuna, canned in water, drained solids, 3 oz: 0.18 mg ~ 10% DV
* Peanut butter, smooth, 2 Tbs: 0.15 mg ~ 8% DV
Biotin
is also one of the Vitamin B complex necessary for fat and carbohydrate
metabolism. Biotin is also known as Vitamin B7. It is essential for
healthy skin, hair and nails and deficiency state has been shown to
cause hair loss. Biotin is used in cell growth, the production of fatty
acids, metabolism of fats, and amino acids. It plays a role in the
Citric acid cycle, which is the process in which biochemical energy is
generated during aerobic respiration. Biotin not only assists in
various metabolic chemical conversions, but also helps to transfer
carbon dioxide. Biotin is also helpful in maintaining a steady blood
sugar level. Biotin is often recommended for strengthening hair and
nails.
Biotin supplements are often recommended as a natural
product to counteract the problem of hair loss. The signs and symptoms
of biotin deficiency include hair loss which progresses in severity to
include loss of eye lashes and eye brows in severely deficient
subjects. Some shampoos are available that contain biotin, but it is
doubtful whether they would have any useful effect, as biotin is not
absorbed well through the skin.
Falling hair is normal, when you
take bath roll in the bed, do combing and such other activities, you
lost some of your hairs. It is very natural. But if your hair falls and
that too in such a quantity that makes your head poor haired then it is
a deficiency, which may ultimately lead to baldness. If this is the
case, then you are suffering with hair problems. The causes may be many
and you need to identify them, but ultimately your body is deficient of
Biotin. Yes, Biotin, it is the vitamin, which makes your hair healthy,
strong and good looking. It is clinically proven, so maintaining a good
level of Biotin in your body system is as essential as maintaining
other vitamins and minerals. Biotin is necessary for your hairs health
and overall well being. Medical specialists advise that the persons
suffering with Hair Problems must take Biotin in addition to other
medications.
So if you are suffering with hair problems, must go
for medications with Biotin substitutes. Foods like eggs. Yolk and
liver contains a lot of Biotin, you need to consume these foods in rich
quantity to maintain your health and prevent hair loss.
Using a Biotin enriched shampoo may also help in improving your hair health.
Some
more foods rich in Biotin are; brewer’s yeast, green peas, oats,
soybeans, walnuts, sunflower seeds, green peas, bulgur and brown rice,
etc. Eating these foods and food products will help your body in
maintaining a good level of Biotin.
Sources of Biotin
The
main sources of Biotin are; liver, kidneys, milk, cheese, butter and
other dairy products, egg yolks, oysters, lobsters, poultry,
cauliflower, avocados, bananas, strawberries, watermelon, grapefruits,
raisins, mushrooms, green peas, blackcurrants, brewer’s yeast, wheat
germ, nuts, beans, lentils, oat bran, whole grains, oatmeal, peanut
butter, molasses, and foods like salmon, tuna, mackerel, and herrings
(foods rich in Omega – 3 fatty acids).
A healthy person and pregnant
woman must take 300 grams of Biotin in daily diet. Breastfeeding
mothers need about 350 micrograms of Biotin.
Symptoms of Biotin Deficiency
People
affecting with Biotin deficiency may show dry or scaly scalp, a loss of
appetite, hair problems; closely associated with Biotin deficiency,
nausea, depression, dermatitis, anorexia, and anemia.
Magnesium,
an important mineral is essential for chemical reactions in the body
including energy metabolism, protein synthesis, neuromuscular
transmission, bone structure and hair growth. [4] Deficiency symptoms
have three categories:
* Early symptoms include irritability,
fatigue, insomnia, and muscle twitching. Other symptoms may include
poor memory, apathy, confusion, and reduced ability to learn.
* Moderate deficiency symptoms consist of rapid heartbeat and other cardiovascular changes.
* Severe deficiency of magnesium could lead to tingling, numbness,
sustained contraction of the muscles, and hallucinations and delirium.
Zinc is an essential mineral necessary for a healthy immune system and proper functioning of enzymes. It is needed for cell division
where
it is required for protein and DNA synthesis, in insulin activity, in
the metabolism of the ovaries and testes, and in liver function, and
hence important for skin, nails and hair. Studies report that zinc
causes increase on hair density and reverses hair loss. [5] [6] [7] As
a component of many enzymes, zinc is involved in the metabolism of
proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and energy.
The first signs of
zinc deficiency are impairment of taste, a poor immune response and
skin problems. Other symptoms of zinc deficiency can include hair loss,
diarrhea, fatigue, and delayed wound healing. It is thought that zinc
supplementation can help skin conditions such as acne and eczema,
prostate problems, anorexia nervosa, alcoholics and those suffering
from trauma or post-surgery.
Saw Palmetto
The
liposerolic extract of the fruit of Saw Palmetto is the most popular
herbal supplement for the promotion of prostate health in Europe.
Research
has shown that the herb Saw Palmetto has the same effects as
finasteride in treating patients with benign prostate enlargement. In
fact, the herb is very popular and common in Germany and is available
as an over-the-counter medication. There are many research and studies
in Germany that confirm the effectiveness of Saw Palmetto in treating
patients with prostatic disease.
Studies have shown that saw
palmetto is an effective anti-androgen. It acts in a similar way that
propecia does. Firstly it lowers levels of DHT in the body by Blocking
5 alpha-reductase. Secondly Saw Palmetto block receptor sites on cell
membranes required for cells to absorb DHT. Although no studies have
been carried out on saw palmetto and its relation to hair growth.
Studies have been performed on the use of Saw palmetto in the treatment
of benign prostatic disease which similar to Androgenetic Alopecia also
depends on the production of dihydrotestosterone(DHT). All of the
studies that have been performed to date show that Saw palmetto is an
effective anti-androgen and has shown conclusively to be effective in
the treatment of benign prostate disease.
More and more people
around the globe are starting to use Saw palmetto in the treatment of
benign prostatic hyperplasma and in the treatment of Androgenetic
alopecia
One may assume from this that since Saw palmetto is an
effective antiandrogen and is used in the treatment of prostatic
disease then it may also be effective in the treatment of Androgenetic
alopecia.
Some studies have shown that saw palmetto may have the
same effect as the drug finasteride in treating hair loss and prostate
enlargement diseases. It has been suggested that both hair loss and
prostate disease are related to the hormone DHT (Dihydrotestosterone)
which is formed when the enzyme 5-alpha reductase interacts with the
male hormone testosterone.
Finasteride works as an 5-alpha
reductase inhibitor. It reduces the amount of 5-alpha reductase in our
body and thereby reduces the formation of DHT, which is the main cause
for hair loss and prostatic disease. DHT is formed when 5-alpha
reductase interacts with the male hormone testosterone. DHT is a
derivate of testosterone but is many times more potent. Hair follicles
that are sensitive to DHT tend to fall off when exposed to the hormone.
Finasteride
is marketed as Proscar® (5 mg finasteride) or Propecia™ (1 mg
finasteride) by the Merck & Co. Both Proscar and Propecia are oral
medication and has been approved by the FDA in the United States.
Proscar is usually prescriped for people with benign prostate
enlargement. Propecia was approved by the FDA in December 1997 as the
first ever anti-baldness pill. Both Proscar and Propecia are available
by prescription only.
Since both hair loss and prostatic disease
are related to DHT, many suggest that Saw Palmetto will also be
effective in treating people with hair loss by reducing the amount of
DHT in our body and around the hair follicles. Although there is no
formal study or testing to confirm the effectiveness of Saw Palmetto in
treating hair loss, many companies are already preparing topical hair
lotions that are formulated with Saw Palmetto.
Saw Palmetto and Beta-sitosterol Study
Natural Treatment for Male Pattern Baldness
7/3/02
- Healthnotes Newswire—Those with male pattern baldness may increase
hair growth by taking a preparation containing saw palmetto (Serenoa
repens) and beta-sitosterol (a compound found in many edible plants),
according to a new study in The Journal of Alternative and
Complementary Medicine (2002;8:143–52).
Male pattern baldness is
a hereditary condition that most often affects men, but may affect
women as well. Hair loss often starts with a receding hairline and
continues in a horseshoe pattern, leaving hair on the sides and back of
the head mostly unaffected. Although the exact reason that such hair
loss occurs is not clear, some studies suggest that excessive
conversion of testosterone to another hormone called
dihydrotestosterone (DHT) may be an underlying cause.
Conventional
medicines used to treat male pattern baldness are designed to block the
conversion of testosterone to DHT. Topical application of minoxidil
(Rogaine®) and taking oral finasteride (Propecia®) have been shown to
inhibit this conversion and to increase hair growth, but both
medications have been linked with several adverse side effects,
including fast heart rate, headaches, impotence, and decreased libido.
Saw palmetto and beta-sitosterol have been shown to block the
production of DHT in men suffering from enlargement of the prostate (or
benign prostatic hyperplasia, which is also due to excessive amounts of
DHT), but this is the first study to demonstrate that these compounds
also help with hair loss—and without causing significant side effects.
In
the new study, 19 men between the ages of 23 and 64 years with mild to
moderate hair loss were given either a placebo or a supplement
containing 400 mg of a standardized extract of saw palmetto and 100 mg
of beta-sitosterol per day. After about five months, hair growth in 60%
of the men taking the herbal combination had improved compared with
their initial evaluation. In contrast, only 11% of those receiving the
placebo improved.
Although the number of men in the study was
small and the results were not statistically significant (which means
the improvement may have occurred by chance alone), the findings are
encouraging for millions of men (and possibly women) with male pattern
hair loss and offers a relatively safe alternative for those who want
to take a natural approach to treat this condition. Larger studies are
needed to confirm the benefit of saw palmetto and beta-sitosterol, as
reported in this preliminary study. In addition, women of childbearing
age should not use saw palmetto without medical supervision because it
has not been proven to be safe during pregnancy and lactation.
At
the present time, there is no known cure for male pattern baldness.
Both conventional and natural treatments can help control the hair loss
as long as one maintains the treatment, though it will often recur once
the treatment is discontinued. Given the safety of saw palmetto and
beta-sitosterol, they seem a reasonable first line of treatment for
mild to moderate male pattern baldness before considering conventional
medications.
Nettle Root
The nettle plant, also
known as Stinging Nettle, or under its botanical names Urtica dioica
and Urtica urens, has been used as a traditional medicinal herb for
many centuries. A mental stimulant, it was found useful in ancient
schools. Teachers applied stinging sprigs of fresh nettle to the bare
backs of their students, to help them memorize their lessons better…
Both
nettle roots and leafs were traditionally used to treat asthma,
diabetes, kidney infections, arthritis, coughs, colds, and even
enlarged prostates. They were believed to improve digestion, heal
wounds, and lower blood pressure. An interesting action of nettle root
is in its testosterone and estrogen-enhancing qualities, with makes
this herb a praised aphrodisiac. However, the most famous application
of nettle infusions is in treating alopecia areata. A gentle irritant,
this herb is able to improve scalp circulation, stimulate hair roots,
facilitate the flow of oxygen and nutrients into hair follicles, and
promote overall hair growth. Clinical trials have confirmed the
effectiveness of nettle root extracts in treatments of hair loss,
including genetic male-pattern baldness and alopecia areata.
Nettle
root extracts, infusions, oils, and alcohol preparations have been
praised in many societies for their unique skin-smoothing,
bacteria-killing, and hair-restoring properties. They found
applications in numerous traditional hair care products - those
ancients shampoos, soaps, rinses, and conditioners. Recently, both
modern science and cosmetic industry have rediscovered many wonderful
qualities of nettle, and incorporated its extracts into a vast variety
of treatments and beauty products. Nettle root preparations are now
being used in many health care items to enhance their cleaning and
healing properties. One of the most important applications for nettle
root extract is found in herbal hair care products. Due to their superb
hair-growing properties, nettle preparations are included in modern
hair massage oils, shampoos, conditioners, and hair loss treatments.
Nettle is especially known for its capacity to improve the health of
skin, scalp, and hair, remove dandruff, stimulate hair growth, and
strengthen weakened hair follicles.
Nettle oil is, probably, the
most powerful of nettle infusions. It is usually manufactured by mixing
extra-virgin, cold-pressed olive oil with nettle root extracts. For
centuries, this powerful herbal oil has been proven very effective in
restoring dull, thinning hair. An anti-inflammatory remedy, nettle oil
should be massaged into the scalp and hair at least once a week, to
combat dandruff, dry hair, and an itchy, irritated scalp. Apply gently
warmed nettle oil onto your scalp about one hour before shampooing,
massage vigorously into the leather and especially inflamed areas, and
leave there for more effective absorption. Nettle oil can also be left
on the scalp and hair overnight. Long-term nettle applications are
known to improve scalp psoriasis, eczema, and various types of
dermatitis - the conditions which often result in the fall of hair. A
hypersensitive skin reacts to nettle root oil especially well: weekly
scalp massages are a great treatment that helps reduce inflammation,
heal irritated areas, and reverse related hair loss.
What makes
nettle so unique is its chemical composition featuring a wide array of
healing components. It contains vitamins C and E, serotonin, formic
acid, choline, chlorophyll, flavonoids, carotenoids, lecithin, caffeic
acids, and beneficial minerals. Some chemical agents of nettle root are
able to block the enzyme 5a-reductase, which is responsible for the
formation of DHT from testosterone - the main villain involved in the
development of male-pattern hair loss.
To enhance the healing
effect of nettle oil on the scalp and hair, it is often mixed with
other herbal remedies, such as Burdock root oil, Saw Palmetto extracts,
or Plantain oil. Combined action of these traditional hair-restoring
herbs is particularly beneficial for over-sensitive, reddish, dry, and
irritated scalp. It is also a great strengthening remedy to rejuvenate
and give a boost to hair follicles that have entered telogen - their
“resting phase”, during which hair falls out. In addition, personal
care products with nettle root can feature facial masks and skin
lotions designed to smooth the skin, combat inflammation, and remove
wrinkles.
Nettle root and leaf extracts, usually mixed with
other herbal elixirs, can also be found in dietary supplements
formulated to purify the blood, stop hair loss, improve various scalp
conditions, and stimulate the growth of healthy hair.
Pumpkin
(Cucurbita Maxima): The oil extract from pumpkin seeds has long been
used as hair supplement. The extract has shown activity against
testosterone in prostate studies, theoretically this may mean that it
would be helpful in reducing hair loss.
Eleuthero, formerly
Siberian Ginseng, has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine since
about 190 AD. Russian scientific studies suggest that Eleuthero may
help the body cope with various types of stress.
Uva Ursi
Uva
Ursi extract, which is also known as bearberry, has a long historical
use in medicinal practices going all the way back to the 2nd century.
It was used by Native Americans to help with urinary tract infections
and was still in use for that treatment until the discovery of the
antibiotics we use today to treat that condition.
The plant
itself is an evergreen shrub that is found in alpine forests in many
different countries such as Europe, North America and Siberia. It has
pink or white bell shaped flowers. Bears are said to like the shiny
pink or red berries that grow on this plant, which is how it got the
alternative name, bearberry. When used, the leaves are dried and ground
into a usable power like substance. The berries are not used since they
do not have medicinal properties and are very sour to the taste. The
leaves are then added to whatever application is being prepared.
Common Uses
In
its relation to helping with hair loss products one has to look into
what can cause hair loss and it outlaying causes. Uva Ursi extract
helps with the treatment of infections, specifically in the urinary
tract and in the bladder. It has been found to also help with kidney
stones and it is absorbed in the stomach and changed into something
that has not only antimicrobial properties, but is it a disinfectant
and astringent as well.
By serving as something that has a positive effect on inflamed tissue and irritation, it allows for a greater flow of urine from the body by neutralizing acidity in the urine. This allows for the reduction of water retention in the body, which is very important for hair growth.
Water-retention, also known as edema, can affect almost any and every part of the body. Essentially, it means that the body is holding onto more water in the tissues that it should and this can cause a host of problems ranging from swollen hands, feet and legs to heart problems and breathing issues. Through the swelling of the tissues, blood flow is restricted causing the vital nutrients needed for proper hair growth to get to the follicles. Along with the lack of supplies needed, the stretching and pressure placed on the skin will damage the follicles as well causing them to stop working as they should in growing new hair. Without the growth of new hair every day, the 100 to 200 hairs a human head loses on average each day will show as a slow loss of hair over time.
Conclusion
By allowing the body to process the urine properly in the bladder and kidneys, Uva Ursi extract makes it easier for the body to pass the excess water in the body which will prevent the body from swelling up from excess water retention. Not only does this natural and ancient herb help with hair loss prevention by aiding the body in its water retention issues, it can also help protect against general infections and create a better and overall healthier body.

Female Hair
Loss
There is no set pattern for female hair loss. Some
women don’t start to lose their hair until later on in life, others find their
hair thinning while they are relatively young.
Many women feel isolated
and alone when their hair starts to thin but it isn’t uncommon. In fact, more
than 1 in 4 women inherit thinning hair.
Many people believe that hair
dryers and tongs can cause women to lose hair. This is not the case.
Over-treating and coloring hair can have an adverse effect and might even cause
hair to break off near the scalp – but it can’t cause long-term hair
loss.
There are many reasons for women to lose their hair but the most
common is hereditary thinning or alopecia – it accounts for 95% of female hair
loss.
Causes of Female Hair Loss
Hormones — One cause of hair loss in women
can be hormonal imbalances. Having an overactive or under active thyroid gland
may cause thinning hair. Treating the thyroid disease will usually help this
type of female hair loss. Hormones can also cause hair loss if female hormones
(estrogens), are out of balance causing women's hair loss. However, if the
hormone imbalance is corrected, the hair loss should stop.
Child
Birth — Child birth may result in sudden hair loss in women. It's
common for many women to notice hair loss after pregnancy - immediately 3 months
after they've had a baby. This too, is caused by hormones. But this is not
something to worry about. During pregnancy, hair shedding during the normal hair
cycle is retarded in by high levels of hormones. Once the hormones have returned
to pre-pregnancy levels, this extra hair is shed with the normal cycle of hair
growth and loss returning over time.
Hair Loss from Menopause and
Hormonal Therapies — causes of female hair loss can come from hormonal
therapies such as Progesterone, a female hormone that inhibits the development
of a new follicle. Hair loss and menopause are commonly linked and result in
thinning hair in older women. Before menopause, about 13 percent of women
experience hair thinning. After menopause, reporting of the problem from women
increases to about 37 percent.
