Even the likes of Lady Godiva, Farah Fawcett, Breck Girl and Jennifer Aniston, define the fact that the hairstyle identity associated with woman’s lifestyle. This is the only cause for women hitting panic buttons at the sight of a few hair strands swimming in the drain after each round of shampoo.
These anxieties do hold weight as every year women have to come face-to-face with the serious threat of hair loss which is daunting. In fact, there are instances of hair loss in the early years of life and these are increasing by the day.
Even young girls of 15 or 16 are not spared from the ignominy of hair loss threat. These are not very common cases, but not too rare either. But what is the actual cause for hair loss in a woman?

It is possibly the interruption of the hair growth cycle. Research proves that the tresses of hair normally keep adding on one-half inch in a month and each hair strand has a growth period extending from two to around six years. After achieving this length, the hair takes some time-out and then falls off and the follicle it launched from gets on to growing a fresh strand. This cycle keeps going until the person gets older. Hair loss is caused when this process is interfered with in various ways.

Unlike man, in which the region of the crown remains intact in terms of density, baldness in women is widespread, and includes this region. The transplantation depends upon the hair style, length of the hair-whether having short hair and long hair and various other factors of importance. The mechanism for this type of fall is not clearly defined, and this loss may start very early and worsen over time with just a rhythm to each individual. In other cases may arise a problem particularly acute at the top of the head, while the donor area, as well as the front edge, it is of good quality. In this case the clinical picture is similar to that normally found in humans, and is the basis for androgenetic alopecia in women, which meets the classification of Ludwig.

This type of baldness is almost always present at the time of menopause, and is explained by the decrease of female hormones and therefore a relative increase in male hormones that women produce in small quantities, and which exerts a negative effect on the hair.

The transplantation of women hair can find its application in the case of a predominant thinning at the top of the head, with an area relatively free donor pathological process. This case may occur if dell’alopecia of women in menopause or perimenopause, the indication of transplantation is justified and the results are, as in the case of man, excellent. The baldness of the young woman, the more difficult to understand, is even more complicated to treat due to the presence of a donor of low quality. In these cases it is good that the patient consult other professionals – for example, the psychologist, the dermatologist, a gynecologist el’endocrinologo, which will propose an appropriate treatment following the results of specific biological analysis. These treatments may in principle have good results on the loss of hair at the top of the head, but in all probability remain without effect on the hair of the crown.The hair transplantation may really enhance the facial beauty of women

Through history, man always concerned about the loss of hair. A head full of hair had social significance and importance for personal viewing. The baldness was not acceptable in the Roman aristocracy, and often the men painting hair in the bald head. For hundreds of years people produced various doses of medicines from animal, vegetable and mineral substances in an effort to improve the growth of hair.

To understand the complexity of the structure of hair, you should learn a few things about them.

The structure of hair

The bristles are almost everywhere in the human body. The texture ranging from thicker wavy hair, a tiny light fuzz. Cover the face and body except the palms and soles. Wherever you are, their structure and their development cycle is the same. The growth, development, decline and regeneration of hair, done in a certain circle, which distinguish different stages:

In anagenes stage or growth stage, the hair of the scalp grow on average 1.5 to 2.5 cm per month. This cycle lasts from 2 to 6 years, followed by a period, lasting 2 or 3 months, telogenes stage. When the process is resumed, the hair that is in phase telogeni falls and is replaced by a new hair. It is normal to fall in this way from 50 to 100 hairs a day which are perceived as living on the comb or brush or at the shampoo sink.

When the pace epanekfysis hair is not commensurate with the decline (regardless of cause), begins to show the thinning hair.

The most common type of hair loss

The most common type of hair loss in women and men, called Androgennetiki Alopecia. This type of hair loss is believed to be caused by three (main) factors:

- age

-the inheritance and

-the hormone testosterone

(Although testosterone is considered the “male hormone” produced in the female body, but less in quantity than in men).

Female hair loss
Types of hair loss in women:

The usual type of hair loss in women, as described in 3 stages of scale Ludwig, is widespread thinning at the top of the head but by keeping the edge of the hair in front, where normal density. In the first stage, the thinning of hair can be seen only when the hair in the hair. The hair on top still thin, the front edge but well maintained in the second stage. In the third stage, the hair on the top can be completely or almost fall. Only a small percentage of women will demonstrate male type baldness when androgennetiki have alopecia.

The women androgennetiki alopecia occurs in approximately 25% of women in middle age, ie age 35-40 years. At the age of 50-60 years, with the start of menopause, the prevalence of overt alopecia androgennetikis increases nearly 60%. It is not necessary to the abnormal levels of hormones to reflect the hereditary type. The inheritance patterns, evolve over time. This can happen in a long time, so that observed at birth but occur as a woman reaches maturity.

Other types of alopecia

Although the androgennetiki alopecia is the most common type of alopecia, there are other types of alopecia that can occur in people and the 2 sexes, all ages due to various reasons.

The gyroeidis alopecia, in which the hair falls from one or more sections of hair, is more rare than the androgennetiki alopecia. Should be treated by the doctor with medication. Criminalize and iron deficiency.

The traction alopecia is the result of mechanical traction of the hair. There is usually women who tend to make ponytail or braiding or use blinds, pulling the hair too vigorously. The very strong or constant brushing with hairdryer shaping may also have the same effect. The friction from alopecia occurs when worn too tight hats or wigs.

In addition to the increase of woman hair loss within the first 3-6 months following childbirth. Others have this problem when either starting or stopping when the contraceptive pill.

Because our society places such emphasis on the appearance of hair, the loss can be cause of great anxiety for women and men.

This technique is usually good results when carefully selected individuals who will do the surgery. However, this is a long process requiring many visits or medical surgeries and has a high cost.

The implantation of synthetic hair should be banned because it caused chronic inflammatory reactions and the only treatment then is removed.
Pharmaceutical treatment:

The drugs so far managed to reduce to some extent the loss of hair. A substance, minoxidil, other than a restriction of baldness triggers and the new hair. This medicine can offer beneficial therapeutic effects in 40% of men and 63% of women. Ultimately, it is the only drug with proven clinical triggers epanekfysi hair. However, the dermatologist is the one who will decide more person has a good chance to have the desired effect with this medicine.

Another substance is finasteride. This product was recently released (1998) in the U.S. and is expected in our country. Stimulates the hair growth and in combination with minoxodil, should provide even better solutions to the problem of alopecia androgennetikis. This may add to the woman beauty of the hair.
