Female Baldness

Female baldness

       Shaped balding crown, so common in men, does not impact the women. In women, hair loss is gradually getting worse and, eventually, it stops. Then, the scalp is visible, but not totally devoid of hair. It happens, however, that in some cases, hair fall on portions, leaving a little space for baldness. Although the problem is psychological catastrophic, female baldness is less severe than in men. Another positive point is that, for women, the situation can be remedied more easily than for men.

       For many years, the number of women whose hair was falling was very small and it has not known any change. Then, since 1950 , the number of women affected by baldness doubled, then tripled and, over some time, the last figure doubled again. Since 1962, the number of women who suffered of female baldness increased by 122%. Today, surveys and research shows that one woman in three has such problems. Reports on the increase are similar all over the world: in France, Italy, Russia, UK.

       Doctors have studied the medical literature to find clues about female baldness, and they have found a lot of possible answers: chemicals in shampoos and hair products, medicines, air pollution, American unbalanced diet, different types of hairstyles, emotional tension. We know that all these factors have negative influences on the hair, and, in recent decades, the incidence of these potential causes increased a lot.

Female baldness and women's mistakes

       Reports of experts established that an incredibly large number of women are responsible for their baldness, whose cause is in prolonged use or abuse of chemicals, the traumatic hairstyle and other harmful practices. For example, in 25 cases of female baldness who wear their hair in a pony tail indicates that baldness began with redness and scaling around the zone where the hair was tight. After several months, the areas where the hair was tight, were bald. Curling you hair is another particularly brutal technique, which can seriously damage your hair, when practiced daily. London researchers analyzed 95 cases of female baldness and found that chemical cosmetic products were almost totally, the origin of hair loss. Doctors report that 21 cases of female baldness of 95, are due to the uncurling hair products, products for discolored and permanent hair, and of the tight curlers that they used. In most of these women, their hair grew back after the cause had been suppressed.

Female baldness risks accumulation

       Some chemicals, besides being a possible danger for the hair, are also harmful to the body. Almost all causes negative reactions to one or other of the subjects. Here are some examples: Colors based tar derivatives, which are found in many hair paints, are dangerous. Especially one of them, phenylenediamines, is able to cause serious problems due to a strong agent, which may not cause an immediate inflammatory reaction, when applying, but which gradually train, an allergic reaction. It induces tightening of the scalp, followed by pain, acute inflammation and suppuration. Prolonged use of lead-based paint or silver, sometimes praised, can have disastrous effects.

        Lead and silver are absorbed slowly by the body, where it accumulates. Lead poisoning triggers these symptoms: low vision, cramps, convulsions and paralysis. Some tonics may contain poisons, like arsenic and formalin, and dozens of irritating, like salicylic acid. Varnishes, solvents and other chemicals may cause rash which spreads to other areas of the body. Other factors such as poor nutrition, serious cases of seborrhea, poor circulation of blood to the scalp and certain medicines may also causes degeneration and death of the follicular sac.
