Women Affected With Alopecia Areata

People normally loose from 50 – 100 hairs a day, which is not much considering that we have around 100,000 of them. However, there are cases when the number of hairs lost per day is much higher. That can be caused by various reasons: medical conditions, medications or hormonal factors like pregnancy, childbirth, discontinuation of birth control pills or the onset of menopause. Medical condition that causes most severe hair loss is called Alopecia Areata. This disease occurs when the body's immune system attacks hair follicles — causing smooth, roundish patches of hair loss. It is the inconsistent hair loss disorder that affects around 2 % of the world population. Researchers are constantly working on the possible alopecia causes, diagnosis and treatment. Treatment for it has undergone a huge transition in the last 10 years.

Psychological effect caused by alopecia can be very harmful for self-esteem of women, especially young girls. Beside the grief women having this disease can feel, they can also develop some types of psychological complications because of the changed image of them others might have. It has to be dealt in a careful manner, showing the ways of coping with it, instead of desperately finding the ways to cure it. Hair is crucial for the identity of many women, because all the key factors of what makes one woman are connected with hair like femininity, sexuality, attractiveness and personality. One thing is sure, the problem should never be overlooked, disregarder or underestimated. It’s important to question all the ways it’s impacting her life and find ways to resolve it or at least facilitate it.

Seeking counseling is a good idea, since it showed good results so far, because women and girls with this condition find the support in each other and often share creative ways to style hair. Think about investing in stylish hats, wings and scarves that will help you find a fashionable new look. If you lost eyelashes because of this disease, use fake ones. There are many fake lashes that resemble natural ones in the beauty supply stores. Visit a beautician to ask her about the best way of applying eyebrows with eyebrow pencil or eye liner. You will soon realize by yourself the importance of sunglasses. They will protect your eyes from the sun but also from wind and dust. In time, you will find the way to accept it and become more tolerant toward people with disabilities. Eventually, women find the strength to live with it.

Shampoo that gives results with the hair loss condition contains herbal ingredients from different medicinal herbs. Active ingredients full of vitamins and mineral salts stimulate local circulation and hair root renewal. Sage and rosemary extracts regulate sebum secretion, prevent scalp greasing and soothe scalp itching and irritation. Using both the lotion and shampoo guarantees clearing all types of dandruff, chronic seborrhoeic dermatitis, scalp redness and itching. Thin and scarce hair becomes stronger, and in many cases, especially in women, thicker.
