What causes hair loss in women and how can it be controlled?

I've heard some hair loss in women can be expected with age but are there any natural nutrients that can be used to help or aid in controlling the problem? Its kinda sad to see ones tresses go down the drain after shampooing.What causes hair loss in women and how can it be controlled?
Biotin lots of biotin(found in the vitamin section). You'll notice results within 1 month even. Take it faithfully though. My hair is starting to fill in again. Try pre natal vitamins too. Stay away from the cheap shampoos that lather a lot, they will strip and weaken your hair.





Biotin is famous for making hair stronger again. It really will help you. Be patient and you will see.What causes hair loss in women and how can it be controlled?
Early prevention is important, and experimenting with shampoos during these early stages may provide invaluable help in reducing the rate of loss.For more information visit: http://www.provillus.com/?aid=623052

I' ve heard that one of the reasons that causes hair loss is stress and some of the shampoos and hairgels and stuff. If you don't get the proper vitamins and nutrition, your hair may be the first thing to show it to the world. Hair is ultra-sensitive to good nutrition and vitamins, and there are actually several vitamins that can specifically can help your hair grow and look healthy
While some hair fall daily is natural, stress, hairstyle products and lack of nutrition can cause excessive hair fall as listed at http://tinyurl.com/kshvn . By changing your lifestyle and using herbal remedies, you can reduce hair loss. More details available at http://tinyurl.com/py7z4 .
i think wrong shampoo / stress / what u eat had something to do with your losing hair.
the above answers are good. need to check for hormonal causes also, like hypothyroidism, but the main culprit is heredity. the clue for heredity is 'male pattern baldness' and runs in your family's females; it is treated with rogaine. stress, postpartum status, and low thyroid can do it. there are other hormone problems that can do it too. if it doesn't run in your family i would get checked by a doctor.


shampoo/conditioner and hard water can do it to some people as dying hair and other treatments.
It could be stess, diet. Excersise is good for relieving stress. Relaxation tapes. Check your diet, be sure your eating the right kinds of food. There is a natural supplement you can buy at Wal-mart. I forget what it is called but I believe it is clearly stated for hair. I heard if you eat jello it will help the growth of finger nails and hair.





Check your head for bald spots. If you have round bald patches then you may have what is called alpesia. Go to your doctor they will give you a cream or shots in the scalp. (steroids) It is to stimulate hair growth. The cream didn't work for me but the shots did.





I have noticed that when I don't eat right and I get stressed out I lose my hair. (extremely stressed out, not the normal every day stress.) (I get bald spots) My hair has always grown back. The first time I had the shots. The last two times I changed my eating habbits and tried relaxing a bit more.





Like you said some hair loss is normal but not clumps of hair.





Good luck to you
sometimes stress can make ur hair fall, poor nutrition. try prenatal vitamins coz it has biotin. foods rich in protein like eggs, fish and soya products. drink lots of water. u can try olive oil, use it before bedtime and wash it in the morning. enough sleep.
