Finding Information On Women's Hair Loss Products

Women do not usually have the option of going bald, yet 30 million women have male pattern baldness. Although men can look up to sexy role models like actors Sean Connery and Patrick Stewart, the only famous female baldy was the controversial Irish pop singer Sinead O'Conner, who often lets her hair grow now. The reason many women can't let themselves go bald is for purely business reasons. A woman with a full head of hair makes a better impression than a bald one. But now there are at least many hair loss products for women to choose from. But, how do you choose?

Ask Your Doctor

The most important professional who will know how to help you choose a hair loss product is your doctor, not your beautician. Although it can't hurt to ask for both of their opinions on hair loss products for you, your doctor will know better why you have hair loss, and thus help you find a solution that gets to the root of the problem. (Sorry about the pun). Your doctor will also know your health history and what medicines you are already on to avoid any bad reactions should they combine with hair loss products.

Ask Your Relatives

The next most important people to ask for hair loss products recommendations would be your female relatives. Male pattern baldness is thought to be due to genes inherited from your maternal grandmother. So, if you have thinning hair, the chances are really good that all of the other female members of your family have it, too. Try to be tactful when asking for their recommendations. Let them know that you never at any time thought they were bald, but you were confused and always admired their hair and are looking meekly for their advice.

Go Online

When all else fails, go online to shopping comparison or rating websites that compare hair loss products for men and women. Consumer Reports, the infamous product watchdog magazine, also has a website. Another good website where unbiased customers give their opinions on hair loss products is www.hairlosstalk.com. Whenever you go through sites like these where anyone can post their points of view, read them with a grain of salt. Anything in all capitals LIKE THIS should be ignored. Also ignore any post that quotes Scripture (unless you want to read it for a laugh). No, I don't know what the Bible has to do with hair loss products, either, but that will not stop some people.
