Regaine for women
If you’re experiencing hair loss you might be feeling isolated and your self-confidence may have taken a hit, however hair loss is a common condition in women. You’re not alone, as an estimated one in four UK women experience hair loss, known medically as alopecia, throughout their life. Therefore, even though hair loss may seem as though it’s a condition ample in men, women are almost as likely to experience a form of hair loss, whether this is shedding or thinning.
As a woman, losing your hair can be a daunting thought to comprehend, however with the help of Regaine® for women you can stop the effects of hair loss and even increase your hair count. The active ingredient in Regaine® for women, Minoxidil, works by increasing blood supply to your hair follicles and as a result strengthens existing hairs and reactivates resting hair follicles.
Hair loss in women
There are many different types and causes of hair loss in women and as a result you may experience gradual thinning of the hair or sudden hair loss. Commonly, most women will lose 50 to 100 strands of hair per day and this is completely normal. You may be experiencing abnormal hair loss if you notice an unusually large amount of hair on your pillow in the morning or an excessive amount of shedding when brushing your hair.
Hair loss in women can be caused by many factors, such as stress, diet, over-styling your hair (e.g. tight up-dos, extensions which can cause traction alopecia) and thyroid issues. Many women also experience hair loss during and shortly after pregnancy, as changing hormone levels can cause hair follicles to go into a resting phase. This type of hair loss is often short-term, and fullness should return after six to 12 months of giving birth.
However, female pattern baldness, a hereditary condition which causes hair loss, is the most common cause of hair loss in women. Although men tend to recede from the forehead and crown, women may notice the first stages of female pattern hair loss on the top of the scalp. Targeting these key areas with Regaine® for women or Regaine Foam can help prevent the effects of female pattern hair loss.
