Most women suffer excessive hair thinning at some time in their lives. Often it follows childbirth and occasionally an illness. Stress can also induce hair loss as can dieting or a poor diet generally.
Sounds like modern life to us!
But also joking aside, changes in the hormone levels in the body causes some thinning of the hair in more than half of all women in this country and still more have hair loss in the form of breakage due to the use of poor quality hair products.
But did you know 60% of women will have noticable hair loss by the age of 70. And yet we are getting older and older, so 70 is not as far away as you think.....
How can we help women with hair problems? i.e. hair thinning or loss?
In many cases, hair loss from modern life i.e. stress and poor diet can be temporary and the hair will grow back normally without any help.
In others, however, the excessive hair fall, if not treated, can lead to permanent baldness.
This is why we created Hairsense....
By far the most common type of hair loss experienced by women is that caused by the effect of certain hormones upon the hair.
These hormones enter the hair cells and prevent them from growing as well as they should, this results in the characteristic thinning on the front and top of the scalp.
The scalp begins to grow finer hairs and the scalp becomes more visible. There is usually a general loss of “condition” resulting in the hair becoming lank and difficult to control.
This form of hair loss affects:
10% of women between the ages of 18-40,
25% by the age of 50
and a staggering 60% by the age of 70.
Stress can cause narrowing of the arteries, restricting blood flow to the scalp. This can induce a temporary shedding of hair in the short term or a permanent loss if the condition continues. Stress can show itself in different ways in different people but the most common symptom is excess hair loss.
HAIRSENSE would be useful for all these types of loss because of the potent balance of ingredients that stimulate blood flow to the follicle and stimulate the follicle itself.
