Our situations are so varied. Life is complicated and full of tragedy. However, many times strong folks emerge and use their tragedy as a badge of courage and go out to change the lives of others for the better. Physical pain is as individual as we are, and some of us show it while others spend their lives trying to hide it. Physical scars are another thing. Some can be hidden, and some cannot.
Until I started investigating causes for women’s hair loss I never gave much thought to the physical ways in which hair stops growing. As we age, women in general do not go bald in patches, but rather thin in an overall pattern on the head. Of course there are exceptions. So, the most common physical way to need a thinning hair treatment is due to our hair follicles shutting down slowly over time producing a smaller or more miniature hair than it did. We can start to combat this process as soon as it is noticed, and by using a natural hair loss treatment such as a Low Level Light Therapy laser these follicles can be re-energized and brought back to healthy “younger” follicles that produce thicker, shinier hairs.
Another reason that hair stops growing is due to trauma. Certainly disfiguring accidents can take away the layer of hair producing follicles in spots or even large sections. If traumatized badly enough or if removed altogether, then the only way to hide this problem would be by covering it up with a wig, hairpiece, scarf or hat or sometimes surgeries can be done to transplant skin with hair follicles in it to cover the area. With these as well as ANY hair transplant surgery (usually reserved for men as they bald in patches and hair is taken from a thick spot and put in a spot where there is none), the new laser hair brush is often used to jump start the hair growing phase of the follicles transplanted. This eases the shock of the transplanted hair follicle.
Certain mental diseases whether severe or even considered a tic or oddity can cause the person with the disease to physically pull on or even pull out their hair in spots or patches. Nervousness often causes some people to twist their hair incessantly, causing breakage but often eventually uprooting the hair on certain parts of their head. As long as this type of trauma exists, the hair follicles will never be able to keep up with growth, however as soon as the behavior is stopped or modified growth can begin again. Sometimes, however the actual follicle has been so traumatized that it will never produce another hair. Laser hair therapy can at least give these damaged follicles a change to produce or can help the surrounding follicles “fill in” hair as they produce hair that is thicker therefore giving a fuller effect.
On the much lighter side of hair breakage and loss are the actions that we may be doing every day to cause our hair to need laser hair restoration. With so many running, spinning, Zumba-ing folks out there, we women are putting our hair back in tight elastic bands. Now, with exercise being good for us and even good for our hair growth, we need to take care not to damage what we already have this way! Swimming in the ocean is one thing, but even salty hair in the sun dries out quicker than with plain shower water and chlorine pool creates havoc on our hair color as well as its quality. Of course to blow dry our hair we cause damage by using too much heat and brushing through tangles while hair is wet. Color treating hair? Even with the latest and safest dyes there is still damage done. Once you are into straightening, having chemical blow outs or permanent curls we are talking serious damage. All of the wonderful shampoos and conditioners in the world cannot undo this type of damage. The oils, masks and treatments we add on can also physically block the pores on the scalp and cause an already shrinking follicle to close off and stop producing hair altogether.
Less is more when it comes to bubbles (sulfates) and oil on the actual scalp along with treatments of any kind, but thankfully there is a female hair loss treatment as close as your computer keyboard. Check out the results that the folks at Nutreve are getting with their laser hair brush for hair loss.
