There are four basic types of hair loss that women experience. While each cause is different, and every woman responds differently to treatment, living with these conditions is completely unnecessary. Re-growing hair takes time, but with proper and consistent treatment, women who suffer from hair loss experience thrilling results.

Traction Alopecia: Popular hairstyles like cornrows, high ponytails, and even extensions puts undue stress on the hair follicles that may result in hair loss. Removing the source of stress is essential. Treatment is nearly always effective.

Telogen Effluvium: Women who suffer from this type of hair loss may have a stressful event in their recent past. Since this condition is often a one-time occurrence, avoiding future stress is a crucial component to lasting recovery. Treatments formulated to help re-grow hair are very effective in speeding recovery.

Anagen Effluvium: Soon after beginning any chemical medical intervention, like chemotherapy, women often suffer from this condition. The hair shaft may endure permanent damage, but treatment is usually quite successful in speeding hair re-growth after the conclusion of the intervention.

Alopecia Areata: Characterized by patchy thinning hair, this condition is a result of a compromised immune system. While most women recover within a few years, treatment speeds the healing process while lessening the chances of permanent damage to the air follicles.

Using 2% minoxidil products, including the popular Minoxidil Azelaic Acid Solution is a safe and effective way to begin the process of re-growing hair for women who suffer from any of these conditions.

No matter the reason, hair loss is a confusing and devastating problem for one in four American women. You are not alone! While re-growing hair takes time, there are many effective and safe topical treatments available.
