About a third of women in the world experience hair problems at some point in their lives, in particular hair loss. Among postmenopausal women, up to two thirds suffer from thinning hair or partial baldness. Hair loss often has a greater psychological impact on women than on men due to social acceptability. This fact can greatly affect the emotional state and quality of life of a woman. Fortunately, there are many ways and means to treat hair.
List of hair treatments for women
Treatment with liquid, foam, and oil.
This type of treatment can be somewhat messy to use, but is often most effective, depending on the active ingredients used. Apply directly to the scalp where it is massaged to help revitalize the shrunken hair follicles.
Shampoos.
Shampoos have some effect on hair follicles, so they are usually not as effective as massage treatments. Shampoo treatment strengthens the hair on its own to prevent further breakage. Washing your hair with the right shampoo rinses the strands, eventually making them thicker and more voluminous.
Mask procedures.
Hair care with masks is much similar to shampooing the hairline, except that the masks remain on the hair for at least another five to ten minutes. Due to this, they better penetrate the scalp. Like shampoos, masks do not have much effect on the follicles themselves and work primarily to strengthen the hair to prevent further loss and breakage.
Hair transplant.
This technique has been used in the United States since the 1950s to treat androgenic alopecia (hair loss). The procedure is carried out by removing part of the scalp from the back of the head and using it as a replacement for a bald area. Today, 90% of transplant surgeons use a technique called follicular unit transplantation, which was introduced in the mid-90s.
Drug therapy
One of the most common methods of treating hair loss in women is drugs. Most of them are quite effective, and do not have a serious impact on overall well-being and health. However, before use, it is still necessary to consult an appropriate specialist. You can find a list of hair treatment products for women on our website.
