What to do about hair loss

Hair loss is becoming as much of a problem for women as it is for men. Some of it is normal; like grass, hair grows in cycles, but not all of it grows at the same rate. About 10% of a person's hair is either growing or resting at any given time. During resting cycles, hair growth may be minimal.

Also like grass, certain things can interfere with hair growth, the most common being the natural aging process. That's why women watch their hair fail to grow or start thinning. Sometimes it will even produce thicker spots in some places and nothing at all in others.

Other factors that can affect hair growth include exposure to chemicals, illness, improper diet and infections. Certain medications, like birth control pills, can contribute to hair loss.
