Ways to combat female hair loss

Hair loss can be caused by many factors. For women, one of the biggest contributors to hair loss is hormones. Hormones are normally the primary cause of female hair loss, although genetics can also play a role. In both men and women, the hormone responsible for female hair loss is the hormone: dihydrotestosterone (or DHT) which is a by-product of the male hormone testosterone. In younger men it’s testosterone that produces DHT; later it’s DHT that causes men’s hair to fall out, which means that if you want to know how to stop female hair loss you’ll need to know the different between men and women’s hair loss, and find out which hormone is the cause of your thinning hair.

Treatment options for thinning hair

Fortunately, there are some treatment options available for women with thinning hair who can’t seem to find anything else to help their situation. Unfortunately, for women today, there isn’t much choice but to go with what the doctors decide on, unless they want to undergo drastic treatments such as hair transplant or even menopause, which isn’t something many women are prepared to do. Luckily, there are other treatment options available for female hair loss, and some of these options are quite effective.

An alternative to medication

If you are looking for ways to help the appearance of hair loss without using medications you might want to speak with Scalp Micropigmentation London company His Hair Clinic who offer a treatment that improves the appearance of the hair loss areas by creating the illusion of hair follicles on the skin.

Summary

Hair loss in women is mainly caused by hormones, particularly DHT, though genetics can also play a role, and the causes differ from male pattern hair loss. Treatment options are more limited for women, ranging from decisions made with a doctor to more drastic steps such as a hair transplant. An alternative for those who prefer not to use medication is a treatment that creates the appearance of hair follicles on the skin.
