Women Hair Loss

Both men and women suffer from hair loss. For men, the most frequent form of hair loss is reported to be a receding hair line, which may occur due to the action of the male hormone, testosterone. This is believed to be much less common in women; however many women are thought to suffer from generalised diffuse hair loss or alopecia areata.
Alopecia areata may entail small patches of hair loss, which may result to baldness, and it is believed to be common in younger people.
Diffuse hair loss is the phrase that has been used in describing general thinning of, and loss of, hair, beginning from the top of the head. It is believed that low ferritin levels may result in hair loss among females. It is reported that hair loss in women may occurring during periods of pregnancy or fever, as a side effect of specific drugs, or due to an iron deficiency.
There are thought to be several different ways of combating hair loss. These reportedly include a very nutritious diet, including high amounts of vitamin C, (e.g. drinking grapefruit or orange juice). A small supplement with a fresh fruit juice is said to be safe. However, it is believed that it will need to be taken for a few months, as recovery tends to be fairly slow. It has been recommended that drinking too much tea should be avoided, as it features tannin, which may stop iron absorption. Instead, it has been advised to drink caffeine free tea such as herbal teas (e.g. green tea). Zinc supplements are also thought to be helpful, yet, it is also said that these may need to be taken for few months to start witnessing recovery.
