The 3 main reasons for FPB (female pattern baldness) are genetics, hormonal behavior and medical and health problems. Lets briefly examine these causes:
1. Female Pattern Alopecia -- is commonly caused by heredity where 2 particular enzymes aromatase and 5-a reductase negatively affect your hair follicle caused by an increase in DHT. However it is evident that a high fat, high calorie diet and a more sedentary lifestyle can also contribute to this condition.
2. Hormonal Behavior -- can be caused by menopause, childbirth or an overactive or under active thyroid imbalance causing disease.
3. Medical & Health Problem -- serious illness like chronic inflammation and cancer, prescription drugs, anemia, scalp infection, stress, poor diet.
So what positive action can you take to help reverse female hair loss?
When evaluating the various hair loss solutions on the market keep in mind what's known as the 3 P's -- which are try proven treatments first, always take pictures, and be very patient. Because hair grows in cycles of between 3 to 6 years.
Your hair goes through an active Anagen growth phase followed the Catagen transitional phase then into the final Telogen resting period. Therefore, you need to understand at which part of the cycle you're at and monitor your progress.
With any treatment you try you have to be patient as it can take up to 6 months to notice any appreciable hair growth, although you can often see new hair appearing in as little as 2 months from when you start.
There are several 5-a reductase enzyme inhibitors you can try like Finasteride (marketed under several different names) like Proscar, Propecia, Finast and Appecia to mention a few. However, there is more to it than that.
One natural female loss hair solution that is proving very popular is the use of Minoxidil as a topical application along with vitamins, minerals and organics substances taken daily in supplement form.
