Women have always lost hair - even as frequently as men do! However, unlike men, hair loss isn't a part of our gender identity. We've been less likely to accept it and less likely to discuss it - fortunately, this is changing. Women finally have options and support for dealing with this challenging issue. Happily, the Internet provides a wealth of information and discussion, so no woman needs to feel that she's the only one. Best of all, there are legitimate solutions for us!
Hairpieces: Once in awhile, a generation embraces wigs as a fun way to change or enhance their appearance. There's no reason why women can't turn a negative into a positive - use hair loss issues as a license to experiment! Hairpieces come in all shapes, sizes, and colors - so there are definitely options for any and every woman. The spectrum runs from natural, undetectable enhancements and thickeners to outrageous styles and colors.
\"hair Growth\"
Cosmetics: Women have been using cosmetics on their faces since... well, that's probably the second thing we did after that whole snake and apple incident. Whether it's charcoal around the eyes or pigment on the lips, women are adept at accentuating and concealing. Although there's plenty of "snake oil" on the hair growth market (lotions and potions promising to make you into the next Crystal Gayle), there are excellent concealing products available. Scalp concealer adds pigment to the scalp to reduce its appearance, remove shine, and eliminate any contrast between the color of the hair and the tone of the scalp - an excellent choice for covering thinning hair at the crown. Natural fiber sprays will easily mask bald patches and widening hairlines.
Minoxidil: Snake oil beware; minoxidil really DOES grow hair! This is the only product currently approved by the FDA to re-grow hair for women. Minoxidil is available over-the-counter. The women's hair loss treatment is a 2% solution that is applied topically - the treatment targets hair growth at the source without the need to bring medication into the body's systems.
Hair Transplant: This surgical procedure gets a lot of press for men's treatment, but - oddly - not as much for women. Nevertheless, it is a completely viable option for women. Hair follicles are removed from a donor site (usually on the back of the head); they are separated and surgically replaced into the area where hair is not growing. A hair transplant can also be used to replace the evaporating eyebrows that can haunt women.
Although women are often grieved by their thinning hair, millions of us are experiencing this same phenomenon! Thankfully, our choices have evolved far beyond the ubiquitous "little old lady perm." By exploring the options, a woman may discover that she overcomes this trial with aplomb - emerging renewed and re-invented!
