If you're thinking baldness or thinning hair is something only men get when reaching middle-age, think again. It is just as common with women and just as distressing, if not more!

There is a common misconception that only men suffer from genetic hair loss. It is very common for many women to have some kind of hair loss in their lifetime at some point, and unfortunately it can have long-lasting consequences.

The most common type of hair loss seen in women is androgenetic alopecia, a.k.a. female pattern alopecia or baldness. It is one of the most common causes of hair loss and it is a hereditary condition (AGA). This is a progressive hair-thinning condition that occurs in adult humans, men and women.

Poor nutrition is a lot more common in the world today, and this is one of the leading secondary causes of hair loss. It has also been found that other causes of hair loss are hormone related, illness, poor diet genetics, or stress. More common would be stress-related, such as nervous hair pulling or a traumatic event. Although for 95% of people, premature baldness is hereditary.

One of the most traumatic experiences a woman could endure in her life would be baldness. There possibly could be moderate loss of hair on the crown, but this it is unlikely to go on to total or near baldness as it may in men. Whereas, in female pattern baldness it results in a more evenly spread out thinning of hair. This just continues until eventually the hair follicle dies and permanent baldness occurs.

Vitamins are a big part of a home remedy for hair loss, all of these vitamins are superb for thickening hair;

• B vitamins - especially B6,

• Biotin,

• inositol

• Folic acid;

• Minerals

• Magnesium,

• Sulfur and zinc.

The B vitamins, especially B5 and B6 are especially important for hair growth. Certain essential amino acids are found to control the thinning and thickening of hair, you can get these from your protein foods. (Meat etc).

You can buy all of theses from your local chemist or pharmacy, so start by taking vitamins and minerals into your diet and I'm positive you will be up-lifted, and your hair will begin to thicken.
