 Hair loss "myths" of special concern to women.

• Longer hair does not necessarily put a strain on roots.
• Shampooing does not accelerate hair loss; it just removes those that were ready to fall out anyway.
• Coloring, perming, and conditioning the hair do not usually cause hair loss. Burns or severe processing may cause hair loss and breakage. Styles that pull tight may cause some loss. more on hairloss

What about pregnancy hair loss?

Pregnancy may cause many changes in the scalp hair. As the hormones fluctuate during pregnancy, a large number of women feel their hair thickens and becomes fuller. This may be related to change in the number of hairs cycling in the growth phase of hair growth, but the exact reason is unknown. Quite often, there may be a loss of hair (telogen effluvium) after delivery or a few months later which will eventually normalize.

What specific treatments are there for hair loss in women?

Female hair loss treatments include minoxidil (Alorepair), hair transplants, hair-powder fibers like Toppik, wigs, hair extensions, and weaves.

• Minoxidil (Alorepair) is available over the counter and available in 2%, 5% concentrations. The response is better when the patients use Alorepair directly after hair loss. At least four months of twice daily applications are generally required before evidence of hair growth can be expected. If patient respond to treatment, he will need to continue using Alorepair to maintain hair growth. In the treatment of alopecia androgenetica (male-pattern baldness) 1ml of a 2% solution of Alorepair is applied twice daily to the scalp. The 5% solution is not recommended for women.
