Many women experience hair loss as they age, often after menopause. Seventy-five percent of hair loss cases are due to hereditary factors. Other causes include malnutrition, traumatic stress, hormone imbalances, autoimmune and thyroid disorders, post pregnancy changes and chemotherapy. Hair loss may respond to simple changes in health habits. Stick to a balance diet, get enough rest, and manage stress. Healthy hair requires minerals and vitamins, so eat plenty of whole grains, beans, fish, chicken, dark leafy vegetables, and fruits. After an episode of hair loss, start on program of proper hair care. Keep your hair short and conceal thin spots with a layered cut, use a natural bristle brush and avoid chemical treatments like hair dyes, tints, bleaches, straighteners, and permanent waves.
