Alopecia (pronounced "alo-pee-sha"), the general scientific term for various types of balding, can affect men, women and children of all ages. Alopecia areata can lead to alopecia totalis don't wait. Various types of alopecia affect children and young people and are often the result of trauma, stress , or illness which have resulted in high fever and the use of antibiotics over an extended period of time. What causes alopecia? There is a wide range of factors that may cause balding in individuals. Some of the most common are: * Stress. Physical, psychological or emotional stress can lead to a particularly vicious downward spiral: as a person loses hair, stress increases, thus leading to greater hair loss... and more stress... * Drying hair improperly. Also known as friction alopecia, this is caused by individuals (usually men) who vigorously rub their hair dry after washing it, mistakenly thinking that this action will stimulate blood flow. In fact, the friction can lead to hair being literally rubbed away. * Poor nutrition. A healthy diet is essential for healthy hair. Hair loss is often one of the unfortunate side effects of eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia. * Hormonal imbalances. Fluctuations in hormones, which sometimes occur in teenagers and women, can trigger higher testosterone production which induces balding. * Drugs and radiation. Chemotherapy used on cancer patients often results in total loss of hair on the head. The hair usually grows back, but there are cases where hair does not regrow or takes much longer than expected to return to its original state. Certain drugs (including steroids) can cause hair to fall out. What can be done Individuals concerned about hair loss should carefully examine their lifestyle and alter it in order to promote physical well-being. Blot drying one's hair gently with a towel, taking vitamin supplements, eating healthily, doing relaxation exercises, and avoiding excessive alcohol intake, smoking and over-exercising, will all go a long way in helping to reverse hair loss. Emotional well-being also plays a vital role in a person's health: a happy person is generally a healthier person. A visit to a physician is recommended in cases where a person in uncertain as to the reasons for his or her hair loss. Hair Fantastique and hair regrowth Although emotional and physical well-being are key to stimulating hair growth, sometimes it isn't enough. And that is why thousands of people have turned to Hair Fantastique when all else has failed. Hair Fantastique is a range of unique, natural hair products for the treatment of thinning hair. Originally manufactured in 1976, Hair Fantastique represents the culmination of over two decades of studies on the properties of plant extracts and amino acids, in-depth research in the areas of trichology, dermatology and natural medicine, and hundreds of in-house and physician-supervised trials. Hair Fantastique has been recommended by numerous physicians, dermatologists and oncologists after seeing the amazing results that their patients have had using the product. According to results from tests that have been conducted, Hair Fantastique clients have typically found that they have had hair regrowth within weeks of starting to use the product and substantial to full regrowth within 9 months to 1 year, depending on age of the user. Many drug-based hair regrowth products often produce vellus hair (soft and downy hair that is normally unlike the original hair found on the head). Hair Fantastique users have been delighted to find that new hair growth is normally the same strength, colour and texture of their original hair. Who can use Hair Fantastique As the active ingredients in Hair Fantastique are totally natural, it is ideal for individuals as young as two years of age. And Hair Fantastique is easy to use: it takes only a few minutes a day to follow the simple regimen.
