Female Hair Loss Products that Probably Don't Work
Thousands of products for female hair loss are advertised in ads and on the Internet.
They claim they can re-grow hair with miracle cures, or hold an obvious bias toward only one female hair loss product or solution (unsurprisingly the one they offer). Almost all are a complete waste of money. Most of these products haven't been assessed by proper research studies. And without recognized research, it is impossible to know about a hair loss product's effectiveness to treat women's hair loss and the safety of the product. Before trying any hair re-growth treatment ask the company for a copy of published evidence and the credentials of the firm testing the product. And if you have any questions, feel free to give us a call, we'll help in any way we can to ensure you're focusing your efforts on something that will move you forward.

Let us find the best way to restore your confidence
Of the 100,000 hairs on your head, you need to lose about half before it's noticeable. And when that point is reached, most of the time you're not the only one who notices the hair loss.
Losing 50-100 hairs a day is normal. It's when they don't grow back that things get rough. Which is why Hair Club has stepped in to help hundreds of thousands of clients change their hair count, and their lives.
Hair loss in women is much more common than people think. About half of all women are affected by hair loss of some kind by age 50. The plus side – you can do something to change that.
What hair is
Hair has two separate parts: the follicle and the hair shaft. The follicle lies below the scalp and produces the hair strand that you see growing out of your head. The follicle is alive. The hair strand is not. It's simply made up of fragile, dead cells that have no regenerative properties.
How hair grows
Hair grows from the follicle at an average rate of a half an inch per month. Each hair grows for about four to seven years, after which it enters a “resting phase” and then falls out. A new hair begins growing in its place anywhere between three weeks and three months later. At any given time about 85 percent of hair is growing and 15 percent is resting.
Hair defines many things for a woman –personality, attractiveness, success, health and social status, just to name a few. Losing it can have a dramatic effect on both self esteem and social life. Many women feel that with their hair, they've lost a large part of who they are. The good news is that Hair Club can help get your hair back, and so much more.
It's true what they say, life isn't fair. We have enough battles to fight as it is, but for some of us, why is hair loss one more? There are many reasons why women lose hair. Hormonal imbalances, postpartum/stress, chemotherapy, and disorders such as trichtilliomania are just a few. Female hair loss can also be induced by certain prescription drugs or result from the use of harsh chemical relaxers and extremely tight hair braiding that can cause permanent damage to the hair follicle.
But the most common type of hair loss among women is female pattern thinning, or Androgenetic Alopecia. For this we can blame a chemical called Dihydrotestosterone or DHT. DHT builds up around the hair follicle and eventually kills both the hair follicle and the hair. The hair follicle's resistance to DHT is genetic, so if there are others in your family with thinning hair, there's a pretty good chance at some point you'll experience the same. That is, unless you decide to experience more.
Many women experience hair loss later in life as a result of menopause.
The onset of menopause causes a drop off in the production of estrogen. And without estrogen to produce testosterone-blocking enzymes, testosterone can be freely converted to DHT on the scalp. The result is a shorter hair growth cycle, finer hair, and hair loss. This is a time in all women's lives that many things are changing. But if we have anything to do with it, they'll be changing for the better. So instead of taking the hand life has dealt us, let's discard a few things and get something more. Because at Hair Club, we believe life isn't about waiting for the right circumstances, but rather creating our own.
