Hair Loss In Women
I’m about to get into a topic that I have been very hesitant to discuss with anyone until I found this site. I’ve been struggling with something for quite some time and I finally trust someone and something enough to open up about it. Hair loss in women is not an easy topic to discuss, especially if you’re the one who’s losing hair. I hope that you’ll find a little comfort in knowing that you’re not alone.
If you think you’re losing your hair because of something you’ve done, you are more than likely wrong. Most of us can’t help what is happening to us. It’s true that there are a few women who over process their hair and cause it to break off or fall out but for the most part, medical conditions, hormones and genetics are the root of our problem.
There I was, in my early 30′s, just living life, enjoying my fairly simple life. I’d slowed down a bit since I was younger but I used to go so fast that I figured I owed it to myself to live a more simple life on the Gulf of Mexico. I was always fairly tan, though I took good care of my skin.
There I was, early thirties, blonde, tan, living the life in Florida. I enjoyed being outdoors and always wore a good SPF content in my hair and skin products. It turns out that had nothing to do with why I was or wasn’t losing my hair. In my case, hormones and medical conditions seem to be the bad guys. It really doesn’t matter, I guess, I know that it’s beyond my control to change it. That makes it hard.
I always made sure to use skin and hair products that had a decent SPF so that I wouldn’t grow old before my time or look older than I was. I never had great hair but I enjoyed being a blonde (even if I had to frost occasionally)and thought that my thin hair was just a curse of genetics.
I started finding hair everywhere, it seemed, and out of nowhere. I covered the pillows, it was on everything I wore, I started having to empty my hair brush several times a week because it was just full of hair. I realized my husband wasn’t the cause for the clog in the bathroom drain, either. That hurt.
I was afraid to talk to anybody about my problem. I mentioned it to my husband, he was really not understanding-he’s been losing his for years. He says he’ll love me no matter what and I know that he will, but this is about me. This is about how I feel about myself and I know that you know exactly what I’m talking about. When you have nowhere to turn, it compounds the problem twenty fold.
My friends all have long beautiful, thick hair. I felt like I had lost part of what made me feel feminine. I shouldn’t, it’s not what makes me who I am but I sure do like having hair on my head. After having gone through chemotherapy in the past, I really don’t treasure wearing hats and scarves again. What could I do? I kept looking for answers and getting sales pitches. I needed to find out why this was happening and what could be done about it. Internet research only went so far.
Then I found this site and I’ll tell you girls, things have been looking up. I’m starting to re-grow hair and you know what? I realize that I’m not stuck paying for a lifetime supply of something that doesn’t work. I am going to re-grow my hair and keep it and you can, too. Hair loss in women doesn’t have to be a life long battle, ladies. I’m glad you found this site, now you can have the relief I’ve gotten. Just remember, you are not alone and you’re not doomed to a life of hair loss.
