You are just combing your hair and you get a mirror to see how the back looks. That's when you see it. A bald spot. What! Where did that come from? What could have caused a bald spot in your hair? Balding is usually though of as a guy thing. In fact almost 40% of men experience some form of balding, either receding hairlines or shiny tops. But what most people don't know is that almost 30% of women also experience significant hair loss at some point in their lives. It happened to me when I was on my first job. I was working at a big company and we were assigned to a supervisor closer to our age to "mentor" us and supervise our work. This woman hated me. She was some form of sadist. I lie not. After about two months under her "mentoring", I went to get my usual perm and my hairdresser told me "you have a bald spot about the size of a quarter". The stress had actually pulled out a plug from my head. Stress is a common cause of temporary or episodic balding in young women. Medications, especially steroids of any type (such as the one you can be prescribed for asthma or acne) also can cause baldness. Another major cause of balding in women are chemicals we use on our hair. Over-processing from perms and dyes of any sort can weaken the hair shaft, even damage the hair root and cause temporary or permanent baldness. Some hair styles contribute to baldness. Pulling your hair in tight braids acan cause baldness especially on the hair line. Even just pulling your hair back severely in a tight ponytail can cause the hairs around your hairline to weaken and fall out. Diets can also cause balding. It is well known that iron deficiencies can lea dto anemia and can cause temporary alopecia (baldness) in women. So can deficiencies in a number of nutrients. Fatty diets, at least those rich in saturated fat, have been linked to increased baldness in men. There are 4 treatments for dry hair you can try to help moisturize dry, brittle hair and keep it from falling out. What can you do about losing your hair. Here are some tips: 1. Easy does it. Do not over manipulate our hair. Pulling, braiding and even hard brushing can cause hair loss. 2. Skip the fries and burgers. Fatty foods have been linked to increased balding. This is the reason that men in Asia who eat traditional Asian diets suffer lower rates of balding than American men and other men in Western countries. Try to eat a diet that nourishes your hair. 3. No perms. Perms are about the worst thing you can do to weaken your hair shaft. They can also burn out your hair follicle completely. Think of them as a nuclear bomb you drop on your head. Scorched earth is all that's left behind. 4. No permanent dyes. Listen, ladies, I know many of you love the permanent dyes. But they almost always contain harsh chemicals which just leave your hair weakened and promote hair loss if you don't stay on top of the weekly conditioning.
