This is an article about hair loss, symptoms, treatments, and causes. Do men and women lose hair in different ways? Well. Hair loss is hair loss whatever your gender. The thing that is different is that it is not socially accepted for a woman to lose her hair. Its seen as a natural thing to happen to men, Inevitable in fact. But for a woman there is much more stigma connected with it. More social embarrassment and I would imagine more money spent by women on seeking out a remedy or cure, or, in the face of only wanting a natural (not chemical or surgical cure) women are more likely to turn to the use of wigs, hats and scarves to disguise the fact that their hair is falling out. Its as though there is some sort of blame to be accounted for, like its the persons fault that their body is somehow letting them down.

So, what are the options for hair loss? Well, you can wear a hat. You can use chemicals or drugs, or you can shave off the remaining hair and just get used to being bald. It really is a personal choice. though clearly social stigma, finances and attitude will all contribute to the choice made.

For me, personally, I do not think that putting chemicals in to my body, or going through medical procedures to try and reverse the effects are worth it. Do they work anyway, from the research i’ve carried out it seems all very confusing with all the fancy claims, but medically hair restoration treatments are not proven. losing hair is a natural phenomenon. I could be tempted to try a natural option, maybe homeopathic medicine but I would want to carry out heaps of research beforehand.
