Why is this? I'm 23 and shave my head because it's thinning. I'm still pretty insecure about it, but that's mostly because the media and society portray guys with thinning hair as pathetic loners who are only worth mocking or fearing. From looking at polls of women, though, actual women claim to not care that much. Are these just older women or what? If ladies don't find balding guys that much less attractive, then why do some guys spend thousands getting back hairs stitched onto their scalp so they can ';make believe'; they have hair (and end up looking like a Chia pet)? Is this just part of a huge inter-gender communication gap or something? Or are balding guys actually as unappealing as we seem to believe, and the women polled are just pretending not to care as a way of being nice?
Input from younger females would be much appreciated, as long as they aren't only into bald guys who look like scowling ex-cons and don't own any shirts with sleeves.Why are men so obsessed with their hair loss if women don't care as much?
ok, honestly I prefer men with hair but I would not say ';never with him cos hes bald'; as theres more to it than looks and hair.
the media tells us all to look a certain way, but everyone has different tastes in a partner and there is someone for everyone.Why are men so obsessed with their hair loss if women don't care as much?
I dunno but I like my man with hair on his head, I don't mind if it goes grey but I do mind if he loses it. Not that I'd leave him but I'd miss that hair, there'd be nothing to run my hands through and I love running my hands through his hair. Good thing is his father still has lots of hair and isn't grey yet so he probably won't lose his hair =)
I'm a younger female =] lol.
Anyway, I'd say that the thing is, it doesn't matter that much to women. But the reason why it would is because it ages guys. Having a head full of hair makes you look youthful, and that's what we all strive for, men and women alike.
But yeah, women don't care ALL that much. But probably a little.
ha ha. Okay well you have to think about what sort of audiences these polls are reaching.
I would say that balding is no big deal for women because it is expected. There is nothing wrong with a bald guy because its totally natural.
Why do women complain about their weight when men prefer the extra cushion? If u don't like ur thinning hair jus get some rogaine.
I think some find it less manly and they want to appear the manliest for their women
I have met some very sexy bald guys.
Hmmmm....you might need to define old. I'm 48; does that make me old?
By the way, does balding make YOU old? I think that's really the concern for most guys. They view a balding man as someone who is old, not a guy in his 20s. My husband started losing his hair in his 20s. So did my dad...he was almost completely bald by the time he was 30. I'm sure it was devastating. It's your hair...you've had it your entire life, and now it's leaving you. You'd feel pretty much the same way if other parts of your body started to drop off in a short period of time.
The thing you have to remember is that most women are attracted to a personality, not just physical appearance. If you are nice, funny, intelligent and generally physically appealing, most women aren't going to give a rat's *** if you don't have any hair.

Has anyone used a topical solution for hair loss in women that they have found results with?
I am interested in using a topical cream for hair loss in women, however I would like some feedback on some good choices. Thank you!Has anyone used a topical solution for hair loss in women that they have found results with?
Nope, sorry
Nope, sorry
I am a 28 year old woman with hair loss. Has anyone been in my place? it is NOT alopecia. Can someone help?
See your doctor, if you have not already. There are certain illnesses and medical conditions that can cause hair loss such as hypothyroidism.
Other women, just lose their hair as they get older without any reason ever being found and while 28 is not old, it can occur in the late 20s.I am a 28 year old woman with hair loss. Has anyone been in my place? it is NOT alopecia. Can someone help?
If it's hereditary try using an over-the-counter rogaine for women. If not start from scratch.use only basic products, in the same family.like suave shampoo,gel hairspray, etc..I am a 28 year old woman with hair loss. Has anyone been in my place? it is NOT alopecia. Can someone help?
I'm sorry. That can be really frustrating. It sounds like a hormonal imbalance. Have you talked to a doctor about testing for Poly-cystic Ovary Syndrome? Symptoms of the condition would include thinning hair, irregular menstrual cycles, and even acne, weight gain and excess hair growth in other areas, like your tummy. It is caused by excess androgen production, that can happen if you have an anovulatory cycle (a cycle when you don't ovulate).
Unfortunately, it isn't clear what causes PCOS, but there are treatments that seem to reduce or reverse the symptoms. These include better quality diet that reduces refined carbohydrates like sugar, white bread, pasta, and white rice; diets that help balance blood sugar levels; exercise; and doctor-prescribed medications that help supplement and balance hormones and control blood sugar.
Women with PCOS are more at risk for diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, and certain cancers, so check with your doctor. And it isn't uncommon that they would have thyroid troubles, as well. With treatment, superficial and underlying risks and conditions can be managed, so see an endocrinologist, if you can.
A nutritionist, Anne Louise Gittleman, writes in her books of anecdotal evidence that people have even regrown hair (herself included) by eating foods like sardines and nutritional yeast flakes. Her diets also support healthy hormonal balance, which may be of benefit to you.
Best wishes!
maybe have have used a lot of hair products which can sometimes result in hair loss or maybe its in yur genes ask your family if anyone had any hair lost problems then go to your doctor to see if they can help
Does your mother, grandmother or aunt have the same thing? It may be hereditary.
If it is stress related you need to lighten up.
Good luck!
It could be an endocrinology problem, better go to your physician

HELP!!! Woman with hair loss/thinning hair!?
I know i have extreme stress, and hormone problems. theres nothing i can do about either. So what CAN i do to help my hair grow thicker around my hair part? Womens rogaine? andy recipes for hair masks or something?HELP!!! Woman with hair loss/thinning hair!?
I have the same thing...it started when I lost a lot of weight on a low carb diet and the hair never came back. I also have hormone issues and tons of stress. I use Nioxin hair shampoo and conditioner, and once and a while really coat my scalp with the conditioner to deep condition it. I try to avoid the blow dryer and straightener...I only use it on special occasions.HELP!!! Woman with hair loss/thinning hair!?
I spent close to a thousand dollars with a dermatologist trying to find out why my hair was thinning. That was about 10 years ago and the hair is just as thin as ever. He told me ';this just happens sometimes, runs in families.'; He did tell me to take Biotin daily to see if that helped. I am not sure it did, but my beautician thought my hair was a bit thicker.

Is there any women on here who has trouble with excessive hair loss?
I know everybodys hair sheds but mine is coming out by the handful. I'm 29 and my baby is 14 months old. I know women go through a shedding phase after birth but it should only last six months and mine won't stop. I've cut my hair shoulder length for the first time in my life but that didn't help any. The hair is all over my house and it just covers my bed from coming out during the night. I guess I've got to go see a doctor because something is causing it and I don't know what to do about it. I was just hoping that if any women on this website had the same problem as me. If so, than maybe they can give me some tips on what to do.Is there any women on here who has trouble with excessive hair loss?
You may need some progesterone cream. If you can find an Arbonne consultant, their progesterone cream is the best I've tried.
Also try telling your scalp and neck to relax. Neck and scalp tension cut off the circulation to your hair and can cause hair loss.
If you have a beauty school near you, go in and get a conditioning treatment with a scalp massage. Heaven!
Remind yourself during the day to relax. That has to be hard with a baby, but stress is hard for you and your hair.
Also, add some salmon or some omega 3 oil to your diet. You need that for healthy hair, and pregnancy may have depleted your system. You probably still need a good multivitamin, too.
Best of luck to you!Is there any women on here who has trouble with excessive hair loss?
The best thing to do is stay calm and try not to stress out. Make an appointment with a dermatologist to determine the cause. If you must go through this there are a lot of nice wigs and hair pieces. And if you have enough hair you might try hair extensions. Remember that your hair does not define who you are, however, your personality and character does. I have experienced periods of hair loss for the last thirty years. There are times when my hair is nice and full. Then it sheads in patches or sometimes I am completely bald on the top of my head. It started after my first child was born and it has been and on going condition. It happens even when I have not had a baby. It was devastating at first, but over the years I have learned to make the most of it. I simply ask God to grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change and the wisdom to know the difference. And, I thank God that my hair loss is not due to cancer or some other life threatening disease. It is just good to be alive and well because my personality is greater than my hair.
Excessive hair loss could be due to pregnency, menopause etc. Read the below articles for remedies and information.
Well I am not having that problem... But I DEFINITELY suggest going to the doctor asap. This sounds pretty serious... not to scare you or anything.. cause I could be wrong. Good luck!
This is called Post Par-tum Alopecia and it is normal for lots of people. Eventually your hair will grow back in but if it doesn't after a year than I would talk to your Doctor and see if there is anything he/she recommends. I can suggest Rogain for Women. that is if you are not breast feeding. Consult your doctor first though. You can also try Nioxin shampoos for thinning hair. With this product you don't need your doctors permission first.
You poor thing. I am guessing that since you had a baby your hormones are going nuts. Perhaps you need some vitamines. Don't loose hope. Seeing your Dr. might be the best thing. He can determine if it is a physical problem. Linda
this is normal... it can come from age, or genes
my family has this problem as well its normal! ho im not sure how to prevent it! just wanted to let u know its normal!colorsilk revlon

Have any women out there tried saw palmetto for hair loss with either success or failure?
I'd like to know people's experiences. I'm experiencing hair loss and haven't found a cause yet. Both thyroid disorders and anemia have been ruled out. Thanks for your input!Have any women out there tried saw palmetto for hair loss with either success or failure?
Hi,
Female Pattern HairLoss
In women, medical professionals refer to this as ';female pattern hairloss,'; a broad term indicating that many other causes are also related to this condition. These include other enzymes, blockers, and hormone receptors. Since it is diffuse, female pattern baldness encircles the top of the head, and enzyme and hormone receptor sites vary throughout the scalp.
Other causes of female pattern hair loss include polycystic ovary syndrome (a female hormonal problem). Certain autoimmune disorders may cause inflammation of the scalp, and the hair comes out in patches or clumps. Women's natural hair growth patterns can also be altered by severe emotional trauma, childbirth, surgery, ';crash'; dieting, anemia, thyroid conditions, and certain medications.
Since the causes are varied, it is essential for women who suffer significant hair loss to obtain a correct diagnosis of their condition and find the underlying medical problem that should be treated initially. This is often done with blood tests or, when it becomes necessary, a scalp biopsy.
If you are looking for a cure for your hair loss, I highly recommend you try out Provillus for women. Provillus is the only topical and dietary supplement approved by the FDA to regrow hair for women. Check out my source box!Have any women out there tried saw palmetto for hair loss with either success or failure?
Here a few simple home remedies which can be tried at home to control hair fall.
1.Rinse your hair with a mix of apple cider vinegar and sage tea this helps hair grow..
2. A medicine rich in sulfur is also recommended as sulfur plays an important part in the structure of the hair.
3. Massage with olive oil before going to bed at night and next morning, wash off the hair gently..
4. To treat hair loss apply a little lemon juice with some black tea.Massage well and shampoo.
5. Beat two eggs,and add two tablespoons of water to it. Rinse hair and pour the egg mixture over the hair.Massage the scalp well and leave for 10 minutes.Then wash it.
The effects of saw palmetto are attributed solely to its ability to suppress the production of dihydrotestosterone or DHT from testosterone. Testosterone is a naturally occurring androgen which is needed by the body, while DHT is a more potent hormone produced from it. Testosterone is converted into DHT through an enzyme called 5-alpha-reductase which is inhibited by saw palmetto.
Saw palmetto is primarily used therapeutically for treating enlarged prostate or prostatitis in men. However, they are also seen to provide benefits in women, such that saw palmetto standardized extract
