Hair loss is a very critical situation for females as it is considered as a basic part of women’s beauty. And you will be amazed to see the number of women in hair restoration clinics which is visibly more than men. So, let’s check out some treatments which can help hair loss in females.

Minoxidil

It is an FDA approved drug for treating hair loss in women and 81% of women claim to regrow their healthy hair with the help of minoxidil which prolongs the growth phase of hair cycle. It is an over the counter (OTC) drug which can be taken with prescription of your specialist. Minoxidil is an ingredient which enhances the hair follicle which results in bigger hair strand.

Intake of Nutrition Rich Diet

This is a very simple yet most workable treatment for hair loss as usually women do not focus much on their diet intakes. While when they do focus on their diets, they can see noticeable change in their hair. Nutrition rich diet can make your body able to produce healthier and stronger hair strands while it also improves the shiny appearance and hand feel of your hair. So, women need to make sure that their diet must include the combination of vitamin C, zinc, biotin, niacin and proteins in order to keep their hair healthy and shiny as they always wished for.

Using the Right Shampoo

The biggest mistake many women make is using the wrong shampoo which does not moisturize their scalp at all. So, it is better to consult your hair specialist to get a correct shampoo for your hair type instead of doing experiments on your precious hair. Also, try to focus on shampoos which offers moisturizing your scalp as it creates a healthy environment for hair regrowth.

Intake of Iron Rich Diet

Another way of treating hair loss is getting your blood tests done and check if you are having any deficiency which can be a major cause of your hair loss. Your test reports can help you identify the ferritin (iron stored in blood) and Vitamin-D levels so you may know that you need to take iron or Vitamin-D supplements or you need to increase the intake of iron rich foods as well. However, make sure to check the dosage of supplements with your hair specialist before you start taking them.

Avoid Using Hair Dryers

Let your hair get air dried instead of using a hair dryer just to save an hour or two except if you are in a hurry. Using any electrical appliance on your hair which treats your hair with excessive amount of heat will damage your hair and may cause hair thinning and hair loss. Especially if your hair are color treated then using hair dryer, straightener or curler will cause severe hair breakage, thinning and hair fall so try to avoid using them as much as possible.

Massaging the Scalp

It helps in improving the blood flow which also helps in creating a healthy environment for hair regrowth. You can do that while oiling your head before washing hair and then massage your scalp again while shampooing your hair. This will also help you in penetration of any treatment which is offered by your shampoo while increasing the blood flow to make you feel good as well.

Taking Cortisone Shots

This is not recommended in any normal case as women who are suffering from inflammatory scalp disease are only allowed to take them. Although, many women want to opt for them as this method is very efficient but doctors do not recommend them in normal situations in order to prevent any unpleasant side effects. These shots are directly injected into the scalp which blocks the hormonal activity which is responsible for hair thinning or hair loss.

Opt for Hair Transplantation

This is yet another extreme level of treating hair loss where women opt for hair transplantation surgery. Generally, it is a trend these days that women opt for hair transplantation just for changing their looks or by their will. However, very few women are there who has no other option than transplantation to keep up their healthy hair.
