What causes Hair Loss? What is "common baldness" or male pattern baldness?Some hair loss is normal, but excessive hair loss (mostly associated with men) is not normal. There are many things that can cause excessive hair loss such as major surgery (often 3-4 months after an illness you lose a large amount of hair due to the stress of the illness), hormonal problems, medications, or diseases like lupus or diabetes. The term "common baldness" usually means male-pattern baldness, or permanent-pattern baldness. Male-pattern baldness is the most common cause of hair loss in men. Men who have this type of hair loss usually have inherited the trait. Men who start losing their hair at an early age tend to develop more extensive baldness. In male-pattern baldness, hair loss typically results in a receding hair line and baldness on the top of the head. Another source of hair loss occurs when you wear pigtails or cornrows which can pull too tight on hair and cause hair loss. Hot oil hair treatments or chemicals used in perms can cause hair loss as well.
Best Hair Loss Products and Treatments - Propecia, Rogaine, Avodart, Nizoral:Hair loss products are marketed to men as much as weight loss products are to women. Rogaine and Propecia are two common hair loss treatments on the market and FDA approved might I add. Propecia is a once a day oral pill which blocks the 5-alpha reductase enzyme that creates Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the male hormone associated with thinning hair in men with male pattern baldness. Rogaine is a topical lotion available in a regular and extra strength version which stimulates hair growth in both men and women. Nizoral is a shampoo based product for hair loss which helps make whatever hair you have appear thicker. Avodart is in the FDA pipeline as the latest hair loss drug that may come to market. Avodart, like Propecia, blocks the DHT hormone, but on a much greater and longer level. The FDA is analyzing the side effects to determien the safety of this drug. You can get all these hair loss remedies at Drugstore.com. There are countless products associated with thinning hair and baldness that are marketed on infomercials, online, and in men's magazines so we say use your best judgement and if it sounds too good to be true, then check with your doctor first before buying any lotions, pills, or sprays. One of the first groups to ever deal with hair loss in men was the Hair Club for Men.

Female Hair Loss - Hair Loss in Woman:Female hair loss is usually attributed to 2 things. If your thyroid gland is underactive or overactive, your hair may fall out. Treatment of the thyroid disease will help stop hair loss. Another major contributor to hair loss in woman is hormones. Typically your androgens and estrogens are out of balance and hormone therapy can help alleviate the hair loss. Many pregnant woman experience some kind of hair loss 3 months after having the baby and this is related to changing hormones. Once the hormones are back in the balance, hair grows and falls out at pre-pregnancy levels.
