Causes for Hair Loss in Women
Video: Hair loss Treatment
Hair has always been considered a symbol of beauty and fashion for women. This is why the problem typically associated with men causes so much anguish with women experiencing hair loss. Instances have even been found where girls as young as 15 years old are victims of the condition. Following are a few key reasons that women will experience excessive loss at some point in their lives:
Our hair typically grows at the rate of ½ inch per month. After a growth phase of two to six years, the follicle then rests for two or three months. At this point, the hair falls out, and the follicle grows a new hair. This is why it’s normal to experience some hair loss on a daily basis. One reason that some women experience thinning hair is an interruption in this typical growth cycle.
Hormones called androgens are usually the culprit in interfering with hair growth patterns. Testosterone is the most widely known androgen, but androsteinedione and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) also belong to this group. Androgens are found in large amounts in men, but smaller amounts in women. When a woman is genetically predisposed to hair loss, testosterone is actually converted to DHT in the hair cell, and then resides within the hair follicle. As time goes by, a buildup of DHT causes the natural growth and resting phases of hair to become erratic because the follicle is shrinking.
Female pattern baldness is much different than male pattern baldness. Some cases are caused by androgens in women, but the pattern of hair loss is much different in women versus men. Women typically lose their hair in a broader area, around the entire crown of the head. Unlike men, advancing age has nothing to do with female hair loss; women may lose their hair at any point in life.
Times Interview with Rob
On a balmy autumn day in Vancouver, Canada, a young man is longing for a walk outside in the sunshine, and deciding against it.
Far easier for him to stay in his hotel room, cocooned in five-star luxury, with a cellphone that has run out of charge, safe at least from the girls chanting his name outside.
Robert Pattinson, 23, from Barnes in southwest London, ought still to be one of Hollywood’s beautiful dreamers, moving up the ranks of movie acting, enjoying his American adventure, his guitar, his good looks.

I have not been feeling well, which is obligatory of what I am going through, and I know there are people who are happy about this. So, I have turned from Sugar to reading a LOT! But, when I do have something of interest for you I will post it for you as I care deeply about so many of you. I am not looking for sympathy or empathy of any nature. Far from it. Taking a break from Sugar has been situational. Therefore READING has been a serenity of sorts. Absorbing information which I wish I would have attained months ago.
A book advised for reading:
"The Moral Sense" by James Q. Wilson
Mark Twain once advised, "Always do right. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest." (you know how I love my quotes). The thought of astonishing people is certainly appealing, yet somehow we have to know what's right before we can do it. How do we know what's right? It's not easy, despite the fact that there's a vast field of study devoted to the topic which is described using terms like "Ethics," or "Moral Philosophy." However, countless philosophers writing shelves full of books over have hardly improved on the age-old cliche', "treat others as you want to be treated." Albert Schweitzer rephrased it this way: "A man is truly ethical only when he obeys the compulsion to help all life which he is able to assist, and shrinks from injuring anything that lives."
But why should we even be interested in opening the question? Why not just leave the discussion of ethics to theologians?
Despite the fact that religion and ethics are sometimes assumed to be interchangeable ideas, a standard of morality is important whether one believes in a higher power or not. It makes society work and establishes the basis by which human beings can relate to each other and to their environment safely and responsibly. If our ethical lines shift according to whim, others won't be able to anticipate our responses or predict our stance on any issue. We all have a strong desire to know where we "stand" in relation to others. Do they care about us? Do we care about them? How do we know whether our relationships can be relied upon?
Is The Future of Faith Transdenomination?
I was born to a non practicing Methodist Father and a practicing Catholic Mother and raised around my mothers Catholic Latin family. When I became a teen my mother told me that if I went to church from now on it would be my choice. That was the day I stopped going to church with my mother."At least you weren't married"...the death of my boyfriend.
This post is more of a vent, since truly, no one can help in this situation. My boyfriend of 4 years died 6 months ago, we had lived together for three years and planned on getting married. 6 months is not a short amount of time, but after losing someone so close to me, it's not weird that I am still upset.The Wilding of Sarah Palin
By Robin of Berkeley November 24, 2009 http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/11/the_wilding_of_sarah_palin.html When I was in college, I read a book that changed my life. It was Susan Brownmiller's tome, Against Our Will: Men, Women, and Rape, which explained rape as an act of power instead of just lust. What I found particularly chilling was the chapter on war -- how rape is used to terrorize a population and destroy the enemy's spirit.Miranda Kerr (Biography)
