================== ARTICLE START ==================
Alopecia. A dreaded word for any man, or woman, who know it's
true meaning and who have experienced it first hand. I'm
talking about hair loss. Although alopecia, or hair loss, can
occur anywhere on the body, it is most upsetting when it
happens on the scalp where the loss can be embarrassing and
difficult to cover up.

Any number of factors can be attributed to excessive hair loss
such as an illness or major surgery, or the stress related to
these. Some medications can contribute to hair loss. For women,
hormone fluctuations, such as pregnancy can cause hair loss.
Hair loss attributed to any of these causes is generally only
temporary.

Most female hair loss occurs over the entire scalp. Women's
hair loss generally begins at any age through 50, or later, and
may not have any hereditary association. If you are a woman
experiencing hair loss it is best to seek advice from a
professional in hair restoration. Be aware that sometimes hair
loss can be a sign of illness.

For some women, improper care, or being "hard" on the hair can
cause hair loss. This would be most common for women who wear
their hair in pigtails or tight cornrows. The pulling and
tugging can cause hair loss and can promote scarring of the
scalp. If the pulling and tugging are stopped hair will usually
grow back normally. Years of this type of abuse can cause
permanent scarring which can prevent regrowth of hair.

It is believed that approximately 35 million men in the United
States suffer from hair loss that is called male pattern hair
loss. This hair loss usually starts at an early age and
develops into more extensive baldness. This is an inherited
trait. This hair loss in men is caused by what is called DHT,
which is a hormone in men that causes the hair follicle to
shrink.

There are many, many treatments that claim to help with hair
loss. Natural shampoos with natural algae and botanicals,
shampoo with natural DHT inhibitors and nutrients, and some
treatments that combine essential oils with a pulsed
electromagnetic field. Minoxidil is a cream that is applied
directly to the scalp several times a day. Propecia is a pill
taken once daily which is advertised to be safe and effective
for male pattern hair loss. This is one of the hair loss
remedies that claims to halt the effects of DHT -
dihydrotestosterone - the reason men have thinning and hair
loss. Another of these products is Avodart.

When looking through the treatments and remedies available it
is important to remember that hair loss in men and women are
caused by different factors and to choose accordingly.
