In men the main cause of hair loss is Androgenetic Alopecia or male pattern baldness, which can affect women as well as men. This is genetically predisposed in some individuals but actually triggered by the build up of the male hormone DHT causing upset of hair follicle function. It is very common amongst men, affecting up to 50% by age 60. Research has suggested that up to 13% of women also suffer from this condition prior to menopause and an even larger proportion afterwards. The distribution of hair loss in women is somewhat different from that in men. Instead of the receding hairline and crown loss experienced by men, women tend to suffer a general thinning of the hair, predominantly over the top and sides of the head.Moisturizing Your HairTo make dry hair silky and manageable, add six drops each of lavender, bay and sandalwood essential oils to six ounces of warm sesame or soy oil, suggest Greenwich, Connecticut, aromatherapist Judith Jackson. To apply the oil, says Jackson, part your hair into one-inch sections and apply the mixture to the scalp with a wad of cotton. Wrap your head in a towel and let the oils penetrate for about 15 minutes, then shampoo twice, she says. Alternatively, you can use flax seed oil which is also an excellent moisturizer.Protect Your HairUse conditioning products before using heated styling tools. "A gel or mousse alone isn't enough to protect the hair," he says. "If you normally use a gel before blow-drying, apply a repair cream, heat-protecting cream or leave-in conditioner first." Use it sparingly, especially on the ends, but don't forget it.
