Myths You Should Ignore About Hair Loss and Hair Loss Treatment for Women

A lot of women experience hair loss at some point in their life and for a lot of people it can be something which is extremely detrimental to their self confidence. This is something which seems to be especially the case for women. Most men expect to become bald and thus when they begin to lose their hair it seems like a natural progression and therefore they are often quite happy to go for the shaved look. However, for the female sex the thought of going bald can be scarier and thus most seek an applicable solution for hair loss treatment for women in order to ensure that they do not have to suffer any longer.

Nevertheless, what makes hair loss a much more hurtful and scary process is the array of myths which surround it. There are so many different myths regarding hair loss and the different options for hair loss treatment for women. This article will put those myths to bed so that you need not worry about those rumours you have heard, which assuredly drags you down.

There are lots of different myths which revolve around how you end up suffering from hair loss. These range from ludicrous beliefs that if you wear a hat or a wig then you could suffer from hair loss, to some beliefs which are more believable yet still very much false. You will not suffer from hair loss if you wash your hair too often. Thus, there is no need to go for the greasy look in order to protect hair growth. Moreover, the amount of time spent brushing or combing your hair does not affect hair loss. A lot of people think that their hair loss is as a result of excess brushing, yet this does not have an impact. In addition to this, hair loss is not a result of dying your hair or having a perm too often either. Whilst it is true that dye can cause damage to your hair, but by no means is it substantial enough in order to halt your hair growth.

In addition to this, there are lots of myths which revolve around options for hair loss treatment for women as well. One of the most common myths, which is circulating at the moment, is that if you shave your head your hair will grow back thicker in volume. This is not true, sometimes your hair may feel thicker but this is just because it is shorter. People may shave their head when they experience hair loss because they find it easier to cope with doing it this way rather than having bits of hair fall out each day. Nevertheless, a bald head does not result in more hair growth and is not a solution for hair treatment.

Hopefully the points mentioned in this article will have helped to disregard any rumours you may have heard regarding hair loss and the treatments available. If you are suffering from hair loss then it is crucial to speak to a consultant in order to discover why you have hair loss and what can be done about it. Do not read everything that is published on hair loss and make your own conclusions as this is likely to lead to unnecessary worry.

Aloevera, the wonder herb

Of all the herbs available in the kitchen garden, aloe is perhaps the richest in healing properties and has been rightly named the “first-aid” plant. It has moisturizing and emollient properties and is used in cosmetic creams, sun-lotions, shaving creams and face packs. It can easily be cultivated as a house-plant in a sunny warm spot with good drainage. Cosmetologists mix aloe with several other herbs and draft fancy names for it. Then these “herbal” avatars are sold at exorbitant prices. Growing a plant and using fresh gel is much more effective than bottled gel, simply because it is alive and therefore is more potent. It is the only plant whose extract is applied directly from plant to face in its natural and purest form.

I Tried a Headache Balm and Ended Up with Rashes

I do have this habit of slathering pain balms whenever I have a headache. But never did I get a skin reaction or rashes from it. It so happened that I had an extremely severe headache a few months ago.  The pain was so unbearable that I gingerly reached out for a pain balm kept on my bedside table and kept on slathering it repeatedly all over the temples of my forehead. Next morning, after I woke up, I found that the skin on my forehead was peeling off and worse there were red rashes!  This was the first time in my life that I was getting rashes from applying a pain balm on my forehead !  I have never had any pain balm allergy or as such!  Side-effects due to application of a pain balm  was something I've never come across all these years! I usually use pain balms of reputed companies – my usual favourites are Tiger balm, Amrutanjan, Zandu balm and Sloan’s balm.  This time I had used Tiger balm.
