What causes hair loss in women?

August 27th 2010 05:40

It's something that is rarely talked about, and yet is becoming increasingly common. Female hair loss is a problem for millions of women around the world (30 million in the United States alone, according to the American Academy of Dermatology) and its various causes are often quite different from those that result in male baldness. For decades, doctors believed that the androgenic alopecia that accounts for 95% of male hair loss was the culprit for women's hair loss as well; now it's widely accepted that for women, it can be caused by many factors - including hormonal problems like PCOS, extreme stress, severe illness, thyroid disorders, genetics, negative reactions to medication, and more.

As a woman, losing your hair can be as traumatic as it is embarrassing.

Is long hair dead?

August 18th 2009 18:18

In a word: no. Long hair is timeless; it's a style that will no doubt last forever. But more and more, we're seeing articles in beauty magazines and blogs that are declaring long hair 'dead and buried', the most recent one appearing in Harper's Bazaar. While they do make some good arguments for having short hair (a long mane is certainly not for everyone), they are largely trend-based, and therefore, prone to change. As such, you need to think very, very carefully before chopping off your long locks in the name of fashion.

Hair colour stereotypes

August 3rd 2009 09:05

Whether you're a blonde, brunette, redhead or have black hair, then chances are you've had to deal with hair colour stereotyping before. If someone doesn't know you then the only thing they can judge you on is your appearance, and naturally, this includes your hair colour. It's an extremely superficial way of judging people - not to mention annoying, and frequently inaccurate - but it still happens all the time! So what does your hair colour say about you?

Hairstyles through the decades

July 22nd 2009 07:48

While many hairstylists claim that hair fashions change on a yearly basis, these changes are usually quite minimal. Unless you're in the hairdressing industry, it's unlikely that you'd be able to distinguish a 2009 layered 'do from, say, a 2007 one. But if you look at the changing hair fashions decade by decade, the evolution is really quite extraordinary! Like all fashions, the hairstyle changes are largely dependent on the pop culture of the time, as well as shifting societal values. Let's take a look at the hair fashions of the last sixty years, one decade at a time.

Hair... and the heart

April 3rd 2009 11:38

Anyone who says that hair is nothing but strands of dead protein growing out of our scalps does not understand its importance, both to the woman it is a part of, and the society she inhabits. Hair not only conveys our sense of style to the world, it can be a manifestation of our inner emotional state.

Why men prefer long hair on women

June 27th 2008 01:43

Research has repeatedly shown that when it comes to hair length, the majority of men find long hair on women to be more attractive than short hair. While the obvious reason for this is that it appears more feminine, there are also evolutionary factors - namely, that long hair signifies genetic strength and overall health.
