A woman with great looking locks is really an eye catcher. Also, if your hair is beautiful, it also reflects how healthy you are. Eating a nutritious diet is not only good for your body it is also great for your hair.

Unfortunately, hair loss is a very common occurrence and it can happen at any time in a woman’s lifetime. Unlike women, men largely suffer from androgenetic alopecia or male pattern baldness which often starts by age 30. Women have far more cause of hair loss as compared to men, and women’s hair loss can occur at any age.

An example of hair loss that occurs early in women is caused by extreme dieting. Teens are so into this dangerous fad, they even call themselves fat where actually they’re already thin. Peer pressure pushes these kids to do these things which later on can cause health problems as well as severe hair fall.

Another common cause of hair loss in women is post partum hair loss. This happens after giving birth. Fortunately, not all women experience this, but if they do, there is sudden massive hair fall.

The above events triggers a condition called telogen effluvium. This is when the almost all the hair follicles enter into the telogen phase of the hair growth cycle. The telogen phase is the time when hair is being shed off to be replaced by new hair growth. Normally, the telogen phase comprises only 10% of all hairs at any given time. This is seen as the normal hair fall of 100 to 150 hair strands per day. Just imagine if the majority of hair strands are in the telogen phase – massive hair loss!
How do you stop this?

There is really nothing to worry about these types of hair loss because they are just temporary. For those who are dieting, just resuming healthy eating habits will encourage hair to grow back healthy. In post partum hair loss, the hair will eventually grow back normally provided of course that the mother eats well too.

To get hair to grow back in no time, there are products that are specially made to stimulate faster hair growth.
