Female Hair Loss

WOMEN AND THEIR HAIR

Society accepts hair loss in men, to some extent. But when it comes to female hair loss and female thinning hair, it’s a different matter.

A women’s hair is very important to her. Think about how much money you spend at the hairdressers and how much time you spend pouring over celebrity haircut pictures.

WHY HAIR LOSS

A common type of female hair loss is androgenetic alopecia, which is related to hormone levels in the body. It’s something that may be inherited from your father or mother.

Androgenetic alopecia affects roughly 50 per cent of men (this is the main cause of the usual pattern of balding seen as men age) and perhaps as many women over the age of 40.

Research shows that up to 13 per cent of women have some degree of this sort of hair loss before the menopause, and afterwards it becomes far more common – one piece of research suggests that over the age of 65 as many as 75 per cent of women are affected.

Another important cause of hair loss in women is a condition called alopecia areata, an autoimmune disease that affects more than two per cent of the population. In this, the hair follicles are attacked by white blood cells. The follicles then become very small and hair production slows down dramatically, so there may be no visible hair growth for months and years.

Of course, there are also other medical reasons for hair loss, such as if you’re receiving chemotherapy.

The average age for women dealing with thinning hair is 25 to 35. It’s not just another symptom of the menopause. You can’t simply blame your mother either – if there’s baldness anywhere in your family tree, you’re at risk. Unlike male-pattern baldness, where patches of hair fall out over time, female hair loss means a reduction in hair volume, making transplantation extremely difficult.

The total number of hairs doesn’t always decrease, but the diameter of each strand shrinks. And hair which is too thin won’t grow past a certain length — which explains the baby fuzz you may experience around the hairline.

Physical as well as emotional stress can cause temporary thinning and make genetic hair loss worse.

HOW TO GROW HAIR

The key to successful hair growth? First, admit you have a problem. Each day you dwell in denial, you’re losing precious time. The more hair you’ve lost, the less likely it is to all grow back. Telltale signs, like a wider part or a smaller ponytail, don’t show up until you’ve lost nearly half your hair!

Seek out a specialist in hair problems.

Female Hair Transplant

Hair loss surgery, which is also know as a hair transplant or hair restoration, is a procedure that inserts healthy hair follicles in to balding areas to restore growth. It’s more widely publicised as a treatment for men, but this is not true – many women have this procedure every year. The success of female hair loss surgery depends on the skill of the surgeon, as complications can arise. Before seeking out a surgeon get some advice.

Under local painkilling medication a small piece of scalp (about 1cm wide and 30-35cm long) is removed from an area where there is plenty of hair, such as the back of the head. The piece of scalp is divided into single hairs or tiny groups of hairs, which are then grafted onto areas where there is no hair.

Stitches are not needed to attach the grafts because they are held in place by the clotting action of the blood when the hairs are inserted. Fine hairs are placed at the front of the scalp and thicker hairs towards the back, in a process called grading. This helps to achieve a more natural result. Within six months, the hair should settle and start to regrow.

Hair transplants are carried out over a number of sessions. There should be a break of nine to 12 months between procedures. As with any type of surgery, there is a risk of infection and bleeding, which can lead to hair loss and noticeable scarring.

Hair transplantation is not provided by the NHS so you will need to seek out an expert privately.

Female Hair Loss recovery and results

You will need to allow one day for the actual procedure. Recovery will then take several days as the treated areas begin to look less swollen. You will have to wear a bandage around your head at night time and it may take another visit to complete the treatment.

Bridge2Aid

More than 70% of the world's population have no access to the simplest of dental pain relief, leaving billions to face a daily battle with pain in the toughest of life circumstances.

Bridge2Aid was founded as a response to this terrifying problem, by providing access to dental pain relief and to help the millions of people suffering in the developing world. Focussing on sustainability, and with the help of dentists and nurses from the UK, they train more than 48 health workers each year with plans for expansion. Because of this work, an estimated 1.7 million people now live within reach of someone who can help them when they have dental pain.

Bridge2Aid sends around 120 volunteer dentists and nurses from the UK out to East Africa to help train local health workers in basic extraction techniques. This is an area where people have no access to pain relief, leaving millions in pain, and often it lasts years - leaving people unable to work and feed their families.

There are Clinical Officers in place who look after around 20,000 people and dress wounds, deliver babies etc but they don't have any dental training - so this is where we come in! They have 1 week theory and then spend 2 weeks of intensive hands-on training time with our volunteers. If they "pass" the programme, they are given all the equipment they will need to care for their own communities.
