Many women experience hair loss at some time in their life; from when they suffer episodes of stress, to the post-menopause, and when they start to age. Hair loss is often viewed in a worse light in women than in men, because it is less socially acceptable for them. Alopecia can therefore severely affect a woman's emotional well-being and quality of life.
Female pattern baldness starts with a gradual thinning on the top of the head and at the crown, as a result of the deterioration of the hair follicles. Unlike men, androgenetic alopecia in women is not characterised by hair falling out and the hair follicles disappearing, but rather by the loss of hair density and the appearance of bald patches. Although women may experience this type of hair loss, they rarely become fully bald.
There are many potential causes of hair loss, including medical disorders, the side effects of some medicinal products and physical or emotional stress. If you notice unusual hair loss of any type, it is important to consult a professional, doctor or dermatologist to determine the cause and find a satisfactory treatment. Hair loss may be frustrating, but a huge increase in the resources available to deal with the problem has been seen in recent years. In this article we will explain what female pattern baldness is and some of the most effective solutions for this type of hair loss.
What is female pattern baldness?
Almost all women eventually develop some degree of female pattern hair loss. It can start at any time after the onset of puberty, but women tend to notice it before the menopause, when hair loss is generally greater. The risk increases with age, and is higher for women with a genetic history of hair loss: in other words, if a family member has already suffered from it.
As its name indicates, androgenetic alopecia involves the action of the hormones called androgens, essential for male sexual development and important functions in both genders, including sexual desire and the regulation of hair growth. This condition may be hereditary and involve several different genes. It may also be the result of an underlying endocrine condition, such as excessive androgen production or an androgen-secreting tumour in the ovary, pituitary gland or adrenal gland. In any event, this type of baldness is directly related to higher androgenic activity. However, unlike male pattern baldness, the exact role of the androgens is more difficult to determine in women. Since it is possible that an androgen-secreting tumour is involved, it is important to measure the androgen levels in women with a clear pattern of female hair loss.
In both sexes, hair loss due to androgenetic alopecia occurs due to a genetically determined shortening of the anagen stage, the growth phase in the hair's cycle, and a lengthening of the time between the moment when the hair is shed and the start of a new anagen stage. This means that hair takes longer to grow again after it has been shed during the course of the normal hair growth cycle.
The hair follicle is also transformed: it shrinks and produces a shorter, thinner shaft, a process called miniaturisation. As a result, the terminal hairs, that are thicker and pigmented and have a longer life, are substituted by shorter, thinner, non-pigmented hairs.

At the same time, the natural fragrance and the hydrolysis of the rosemary, which constitutes a significant percentage in the formula and provides very beneficial properties that develop the hair follicles, give the product a pleasant scent and also make it suitable for every day use.
In addition to all the active substances it contains, HAIR REGENERATOR SERUM MAINTENANCE has copper tripeptide, the innovative, well-known peptide that boosts the hair's structural resistance and increases the proliferation of follicular cells.

It is without doubt the best anti-hair loss shampoo on the market and can be used to treat baldness in both men and women.
