Facial Hair Removal for Women

For forty-five million American males, baldness is a fact of life. Often showing up in a man’s 20’s, hair loss typically occurs around the temples and crown and progresses throughout life. People generally lose 50-100 hairs per day, each to be replaced by a new one. This regular cycle tends to slow as a person ages.

Causes of hair loss include stress, hormonal changes, poor diet and genetic factors. A primary cause of male pattern baldness is the chemical Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the blood stream which erodes the hair follicle over time until it eventually dies. Poor diet can lead to hair loss when the body is starved of essential vitamins and minerals necessary for hair growth.

Some of these products carry adverse health and sexual side effects.

Some of the stresses that could cause this shock to the body include significant drops in hormone levels, childbirth, sickness such as high fever, trauma as caused by physical injury, deficient vitamin intake, chemotherapy, and some diseases. Once these stressors are out of your system though, you can expect that your hair will grow back as it returns to its natural cycle and system. It is then important to strive to be healthy as healthy as possible. Read the rest of this entry »
