There are quite specific female hair loss products which are designed to be used by women only. The main characteristic of these products is that they are not as powerful at hair regeneration as many men only designed products.

In fact many male only products are so powerful that they contain side effects warnings for women especially for pregnant women so you need to be very careful that you undertake a female hair loss treatment that is suitable and safe.

Furthermore, if you are intending to go down the conventional drugs route make sure that the drugs or at least a major component of the product is FDA approved. You should also consider that the best form of womens hair loss treatment in my honest opinion should be as natural as possible and with a  compromise leaning towards a combination of natural and conventional drugs.

There are many female hair loss products which have been specially designed for women and the product manufacturers specify this. For example Provillus one of the market leaders actively markets Provillus for Men and Provillus for Women.

There are other products, for example Propecia which does have a male and female strength version however this particular conventional drug requires a doctors prescription and rightfully so as the male version is so powerful that women who come into contact with it and are pregnant are advised to wash their hands.

I’m not trying to scare you all I’m saying here is that you need to be careful and do your research and best of all see and/or talk to your doctor before taking on any form of medication.

Now, going back to what I was saying earlier. If you have decided to take hair loss products I suggest that you go down the combination route i.e. natural + conventional as baldness in women especially alopecia areata can be hard to treat with natural ingredients only.

This doesn’t mean to say that they don’t work. They do to some degree especially those products which contain Saw Palmetto, it’s just that the natural products seem to be best at both preventing further thinning of hair and preventing more hair loss but seem weak at promoting new hair growth or strand thickening.

The main reason for this is that when treating with a combination product the conventional drug component i.e. Minoxidil (An FDA approved hair restorative drug) actively attacks DHT in the follicle which is the causative compound of hair loss/thinning. The Saw Palmetto boosts the scalp and nutrient base within the hair follicle which then facilitates a much more energetic hair growth.

It is for this reason that I recommend that you go for female hair loss products which are approved and have at least some scientific basis to make them work.

Female alopecia literally mean female baldness. It’s a problem that affects up to 40% of women at some time in their life.

There are many types of female alopecia some are cause by hormonal imbalance, others by stress, others by diet and in rare cases genetic. Nearly all can be cured although one type in particular alopecia areata ( characterized by bald circular patches on the scalp) is not really curable in the truest sense of the word as the condition can come back under the influence of some trigger facts. In my book a cure is something that’s permanent and sadly this type of hair loss can and does recur.

OK now for a list of some of the types and whether or not you should consider natural, semi natural or combination female hair loss products for treating these conditions.

Traction alopecia

This is caused by for example combing or brushing the hair too aggressively. Recommended treatment for this should be natural and perhaps counseling if the traction is part of a obsessive compulsive behaviour (sadly this is on the increase with teenage girls)

Alopecia Areata

I mentioned above that this is the appearance of circular balding patches that can be anywhere on the scalp and the numbers of these can range from the one to as many as 15!

The cause of this condition is not really known and it is one of the most difficult to treat with treatment periods ranging from 6 months to 18 months. In fact I would say that the latter is a more accurate estimate. The treatment for this varies and in some cases it goes away of it’s own accord especially stress related cases. The fact is that there is a time lag between the hair loss of 3 months and hair regrowth of the same time so it will logically take a minimum of 3 months to see if any treatment has been effective in stopping or at least reversing the alopecia areata hair loss.

The most effective treatment for a mild case is using a combination product again always consult with your doctor before taking any alopecia treatments but there are FDA approved drugs like Minoxidil and treatments like Provillus for Women  which seem to be good and are also effective.

Cicatricial Alopecia

This is a type of alopecia which results in scarring of the scalp through inflammation. Over time the inflammation actually damages the hair follicles thus making it much harder for the hair to grow back. Common causes of this condition are lupus and lichen planus and treatment can be quite difficult as the trigger cause hasn’t been found yet by scientists although herbal solutions containing Saw palmetto seem to arrest the scarring better than other products.

Telogen Effluvium

This is most apparent due to the action of stress or a change in emotional circumstances and can often accompany berievement. Although scientists haven’t worked out the cause of this type of female alopecia fully some interesting research seems also to point to vitamin deficiencies in the sufferers diet.  This one is much better treated naturally and some trichologists believe that time is the best treatment for this one.

There are other types of female alopecia that are quite common however each persons cure or treatment will depend on individual triggers so what works for one person will not work for another and often it is much better to go to a doctor just in case there is another underlying serious problem.

Using a hair loss prevention product is not necessarily going to stop your hair loss. The main reason for this is that we don’t have a one stop cure for hair loss whether it’s for men or women.

Also men and women differ in the type of hair loss. Men suffer more from genetic related hair loss and women from hormonal imbalance hair loss. Womens hair loss is more easily treatable and approximates more closely a cure, except for alopecia areata (round bald patches of varied size) which can and often does recur.

For men, in particular, once thinning hair is recognized then early action is indeed the best course of action. Let me explain why briefly.

Firstly the cause of hair loss is a compound called DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) which is formed from the combination of Testosterone and 5-alpha-reductase. With men the production of DHT is much greater and for some reason, not quite known yet, harder to remove from the hair follicles. Any potentially successful hair loss treatments for men will ‘focus’ on inhibiting this process.

The effect of DHT within the follicle is to cause the growth of hair strands to stop or at best thin. It doesn’t kill the follicle or prevent the follicle from reproducing hair again. This is important as a successful hair loss prevention product will interrupt this cycle thus allowing the follicle to regenerate and the hair to regrow.

However for men this is a much slower process as the DHT within the follicle is harder to get rid of compared to women.

As you can probably gauge from this so far is that once thinning has started the process gets harder to reverse the more advanced it gets!This is the reason why early action is vital.

Now something that the sellers of hair loss prevention products won’t tell you straight off the bat is that once you start (if you’re a man) you can’t stop. In nearly all cases I’m familiar with those men that did stop thinking that the hair loss had stopped ended up losing more hair as the hair loss/thinning returned with a vengeance. So think carefully before starting!

For women the situation is different. Quite often hair loss/thinning can be caused by hormonal imbalances whether that has been caused by menopause or coming of taking the contraception pill. The treatment usually involves restoring the hormonal imbalance and hair regrowth usually is noticeable after 3 months.

As I said before this is not necessarily the case with alopecia areata which involves much more prolonged treatment and can recur again.

The best hair loss prevention product for men and women is Provillus hair loss treatment as it attacks the DHT ‘in the follicle’ using  FDA approved Minoxidil and doesn’t destroy testosterone in other parts f the body as far as men are concerned which is vital. Secondly there is a specialty for women as well making it effective for hair loss restoration and prevention.

The best hair loss treatment reviews are going to be those that give you as much facts as possible and then let you make up your own mind as to which is the most suitable product to treat your hair loss.

However before doing any reviews it’s best to realize that hair treatment for men and women differs as the causes are different.

Mens hair loss treatments are much more aggressive as men tend to suffer male pattern baldness which is genetically related and therefore to some extent much more difficult to treat. No matter what anyone tells you – it’s not possible to ‘cure’ baldness only allay the symptoms. The reason for this as many men will testify to is that treatment is ongoing. A cure would be a ‘once and for all’ application! I don’t know of one yet and if I did I would immediately let you know!

Now, womens hair loss treatments tend to be less intense and at the same time will stop after the hair regrows unless there has been a serious case of recurrent alopecia areata (balding patches).

Furthermore womens hair loss treatment products in general have a lower dose of DHT blockers (Dihydrotestosterone – the main culprit for thinning hair). The reason for this is simple women do not produce testosterone in as large quantities as men so the action of the enzyme alpha 5 and the testosterone produces less DHT.

Hair loss treatment reviews, if the reviewer is objective will, at least mention how effective the product is at combating the build up of DHT in the follicle. If a product is ‘too good’ at this you may find, if you are a women, that you will experience unwanted hair growth in areas you would rather not thus causing another problem!

This is particularly true for hair products that have been substantively designed for Men such as some high strength varieties of Propecia or Provillus for Men. In fact some of these reviews should also mention the health risks that are attached to some of these products, if women use them.

The reason why I have mentioned some of the ‘male products’ is that some women (thankfully not many) have had such aggressive hair loss that they mistakenly believe that a ‘male strength’ formula is what is needed for maximum effect. Nothing could be further from the truth. If this is the case then you should skip looking for hair loss treatment reviews and see your Doctor as soon as possible as there could be an underlying much more serious issue there.

Low thyroid hair loss is one of the most common causes of hair loss in women and is basically due to a low level of circulating thyroid hormone or hypothyroidism. Iron buildup will also contribute to the cause but most times the hair loss will respond to treatment with thyroid hormone with the corresponding  iron problem also going away.

There are several schools of thought here but the prevailing one is that once you start treatment for a hyperthyroid or hypothyroid condition it’s very likely that the loss of hair will slow down, and eventually stop, once hormone levels are stabilized and in the normal range. One comforting fact is that it is very rare for women to lose all their hair with this condition although it is not uncommon to lose up to half before starting treatment. The treatment time can take several months as well so you need to be patient to see the results.

The most important thing to realize here is that if you suspect that your thyroid is potentially causing the hair loss then you need to see your doctor as compared to some other causes of hair loss low thyroid hair loss is one of the easiest to treat successfully.

Assuming that the cause of the female hair loss is attributable to the thyroid it stands to reason that once the thyroid problem is addressed that the hair will regrow again and this is the case in over 90% of women in particular who are treated for this condition.

There are several conventional drugs that are used in this hair loss treatment and these include  Synthroid, T4 also known as thyroxine. Research and results seem to also suggest that the dosage required for successful hair regrowth is in excess of 200 micrograms. However again when it comes to medication you should only take prescribed and approved drugs in consultation with your doctor.

It is also important to point out you will know that the dose is working when the itching on the scalp goes away and this is the precursor to hair regrowth. It is not unusual to see full regrowth after 6 months.

Often the new hair growth takes months before it really gets going. But the important first part is for the hair to stop falling out and the itching to stop. Once that is accomplished then usually the hair starts to grow in again normally which will be of great relief to you.

The important thing to realize is that low thyroid hair loss is one of the few treatable causes of hair loss once it is identified.

You need to know what alopecia areata hair loss is before you can even contemplate getting a successful cure for it. First of all in case what you’re wondering what alopecia areata it is Latin and the literal translation is ‘bald areas’ it is also a female alopecia that is not so common with men.

It is a condition where there doesn’t seem to be a single cause – it seems to be an underlying condition that occurs when there is a rapid change of factors that tend to be external such as stress from work, hormonal imbalance perhaps caused by menopause and in rarer cases scalp infections.

The actual cause of alopecia areata is to do with the action of the bodies immune cells (white blood cells) which attack the growing cells in the hair follicles that make the hair. The affected hair follicles become shrink and drastically slow down hair growth. The good news is that the stem cells that continually supply the follicle with new cells do not seem to be targeted which means that  the follicles always have the potential to re grow new hair.

Alopecia areata often occurs in people who have relatives have other autoimmune diseases, such as diabetes, thyroid disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, or pernicious anaemia. So it can be genetic so to speak which can make it more difficult to cure.

People who have alopecia areata don’t usually exhibit other autoimmune diseases but do have a higher chance of having thyroid disease, Atopic eczema, nasal allergies and asthma.

What sort of alopecia areata treatment is effective then?

There are Conventional Drugs remedies which promote hair growth rather than prevent new bald patches occurring and tend to treat the symptoms so as far as ‘looks’ are concerned the condition can be controlled. The drugs that are used mainly include Corticosteroids, Oral cyclosporine, Minoxidil, Anthralin (Psoriatic) and Sulfasalazine.

Will My Hair Ever Grow Back?

Where treatment occurs there is every chance that hair will grow back. if you are going to go down the route of conventional drug treatment as opposed to a homeopathic hair loss remedy then the likelihood of getting the hair to regrow is quite high. Hair loss in women is never pleasant but fortunately alopecia areata hair loss is not as drastic as alopecia totalis where even you eyebrows and eyelashes fall out and this form is easier to treat in it’s milder state. Again even if you lose all your hair there is still the strong possibility for full re growth.

One of the best treatments is Provillus which has been designed especially for women and contains Minoxidil which is an FDA approved hair regrowth drug and is well worth considering as an alopecia areata treatment.

Alopecia areata treatment is most effective through the use or at least the partial use of conventional drugs. The reason for this is that there is no known cause of alopecia areata hair loss so a direct treatment is only going to control the symptoms.

There is little doubt amongst scientists that the trigger for the hair loss affects the autoimmune system which causes the hair follicles to constrict and produce less hair and even constrict so much that the hair falls out altogether.

The good news is that as far as the alopecia treatment is concerned the roots are not killed off with the condition which means that the hair can and does regrow.

One of the major problems in treating the condition and why there isn’t a one for all hair loss treatment that will cure the hair loss rather than treat the symptoms is that scientists still don’t fully understand why the balding occurs in patches and doesn’t cover the whole scalp. Basically the hair loss is localized and most treatments are designed to attack the DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) over the whole scalp so the alopecia treatment is diluted to some extent rather than concentrated on the problem area(s) as it should.

What most women experience who undergo treatment for alopecia areata is that it takes a long time and periods of up to two years before the hair grows back to normal are not uncommon!

This is another reason why in my opinion natural only treatments can be good but because of the ‘less targeted’ approach compared to conventional drugs do take longer. Although you will find many people who will argue that homeopathic remedies do work there is little solid evidence that they do. Where, in rare cases the alopecia areata occurs in men natural treatments have a very poor record of success.

The conventional drugs use method will stimulate hair growth  but will not cure the condition. I suppose when you think about it if you don’t really understand the cause the only thing you can do is treat the symptoms! This is the dilema.

There are of course many proponents and there is also evidence that a combination of FDA approved drugs such as Minoxidil and Corticosteroids will stimulate the hair growth thus relieving the embarrassing symptoms and natural ingredients like Saw palmetto seem to have a very beneficial  long term effect.

This is probably one of the main reasons why Provillus is such an effective alopecia areata treatment as it seems to take the best of both worlds and the manufacturers have designed the product in such a way that both men and women can take it which is unlike many of the existing products available!

Male hair loss treatments vary in terms of their effectiveness and in general and your average male hair loss product is much stronger than what you would get for women.

Testosterone is the main hormone responsible for masculinity and when there is too much of it then your body will react two ways you will have enhanced hair growth i.e. nasal hair, ear hair and larger eyebrows as you grow older and thinning hair on the scalp or you will have the excess hair as described but also go balding.

There is no definite rule of thumb on this as to be honest scientists aren’t sure why but it is fairly well established that the major cause is genetic and not external environmental factors. A study was done by an eminent European University that studied twins. The male twins were in two control groups, one pair were identical and one pair were not.

The identical pairs and non identical pairs were monitored over a five year period and it was found (not unsurprisingly) that their hair loss was almost the same with the identical twins. In over 60% of non identical twins one twin was found to have more hair loss than the other.

It would have been interesting if the scientists had tested the effect of hair regrowth products on the identical twins but alas they didn’t!

This means then that there is a correlation between genes and hair loss that cannot be ignored in mens hair loss treatments. The problem is that many male hair loss treatments that are available do not recognize this genetic connection. What I mean is that many of the concoctions available don’t dig deep enough to discover that it is the genes which ‘control’ the trigger of DHT production (Dihydrotestosterone stops hair from growing in the follicle) and therefore do not adequately block the production of DHT before it causes the problem. It is this failure to address the blocking issue that causes rise to many  a hair loss prevention product being considered scammy.

This leads me to now say that because genes play a large part in your hair loss you cannot adequately ‘cure’ your alopecia. that would be misleading but what you can do is alleviate the symptoms i.e. the balding or thinning/receding hair.

When you realize this important fact then you will appreciate that your treatment should be looked at as long term and that you aren’t going to get a miracle permanent cure and then stop. I suspect the closest thing you’re going to get to a cure is a hair transplant but who’s got $3k and wants a lot of pain (literally – just think of dentists and injections!)

When it comes to male hair loss treatments that are effective you need therefore to look at symptoms control and then reversal with a strong hair regrowth conventional FDA approved drug – this is likely to be the best way to avoid being scammed.

Provillus for men is one of the few treatments that ticks all the boxes

There’s not much available in mens hair loss treatments that really work. By that I mean are effective in either stopping the hair thinning or getting the hair to grow back to such an extent that you can see the difference.

I know that when you’re in your 20′s or early 30′s and your single you feel that the chicks prefer you to have a full head of hair than not well I hate to bust your flush but you’d be right and add to that they will probably want a fat wallet to match their too (Just jesting – sorry if I’ve offended you!) But joking aside girls do prefer a man to have hair on the head and not a baldy. If that wasn’t the case then why do you think that so many men want the best baldness solution that they can get!

You see bottom line is that men think of balding as a sign of weakening virility and assume that women think the same way and that is just plain wrong. Women can see baldness as being sexy just ask them what they think of Bruce Willis? You see women see baldness differently. Women see other women with hair loss problems as being unhealthy and even unhygienic – so perceptions vary widely!

So where does that leave you if want a specific cure for male pattern baldness which is the most common form of balding in men? Ironically no better or worse as far as the fair sex goes so it’s really up to your own self perception. If you’re happy with the way you are then great but if not there are mens hair loss treatments that will at least stop the thinning and at best get the hair to regrow back.

The two best male hair loss treatments that come to mind are Propecia and Provillus.

Propecia is very strong and as a baldness solution requires you to get a prescription as it is so strong it is not recommended for women – especially pregnant women. even though it is FDA approved as a hair regrowth drug the side effects can be very strong. Another negative is that if you start to use it you need to keep going as you will lose even more hair than what you had when you started!

Provillus is a combination hair loss treatment. By that I mean it uses natural herbs as well as conventional drugs. In particular on the natural side it contains Saw Palmetto which seems to be getting very good press about its hair regrowth properties  and also contains Minoxidil which again is an FDA approved hair regrowth drug. The benefits of Provillus over Propecia is that it doesn’t need a prescription and it also doesn’t seem to cause as many side effects. For this reason It seems to be one of the best mens hair loss treatments that are available!

In order to be able to purchase provillus you need to be able to know where to find it – Sounds stupid but it’s true. The one thing that you will find is that it’s available only online.

You can also ask your self the question why? The reason is very simple. Any product sold online is cheaper to sell. The company which manufactures Provillus makes obviously a profit but also understands that when a product is sold on a distributive basis through retailers the the price of the product literally goes through the roof when their mark up is added.

Now lets assume the standard mark up is anywhere from 200% to 250% that plainly means that the product would become unaffordable to the vast majority of people that it’s aimed at! Not everyone has got zillions of bucks to spend!

There is another reason why some products are sold online, especially Provillus is that some retailers also have ‘exclusivity’ agreements. This means for example if the product was to be sold through your local drugstore chain it may not be able to be sold via a competitor chain and even worse still Internationally.

So by selling Provillus online you know exactly the answer to the question where can I buy provillus that so many people ask! This means that anyone, anywhere in the world can access Provillus.

Now you may also be forgiven for thinking that I am just getting you to purchase provillus which to be honest is true but I am just giving you the heads up as there is so much rubbish out there that just comes and goes. Provillus has been around for 15 years which indicates that it is extremely successful and widely recognized as an effective hair loss treatment product.
