<title><![CDATA[Will Increasing my Ferritin and Iron Levels Stop My Female Hair Loss?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Though nothing can be 100% guaranteed in life, additional iron intake should increase ferritin levels and hopefully minimize hair shedding back to the normal 50-100 hairs daily. However, know that Rogaine hair loss treatment can also cause an initial hair shedding for the first couple months of use. Though this is an inconvenience, hair shedding...]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Hair Shedding from Minoxidil - Does Hair Become Dependent on it?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Only miniaturizing hair or terminal hair that's going to fall out naturally due to genetic male pattern hair loss is going to become dependent on Rogaine (minoxidil). Stopping its use will result in a loss of all benefit and hair loss of genetically programmed hairs will continue. Therefore, there may be some truth in saying the longer you are on Rogaine, the more hair shedding and loss...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[If the bald spot was forming on the crown of your head, I'd say it's most likely the onset of genetic male pattern baldness. However, a bald spot on the right side of your head, especially if it appeared rapidly, may be a sign of an autoimmune deficiency or another ailment causing Alopecia Areata, a hair loss condition characterized by...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Minoxidil is the same active ingredient in Rogaine. Whereas the female version of Rogaine includes the 2% minoxidil solution, the male version contains 5%. Xandrox also contains 5% or even more minoxidil in some products. Though some dermatologists suggest Rogaine 5% for women, it has been known to cause unwanted facial and body hair growth. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It is certainly possible that multiple factors are contributing to your female hair loss. Excessive styling or pulling can cause a hair loss known as traction alopecia.

However, based on all the information you have provided me, I am starting to suspect that you may have traction alopecia.

<description><![CDATA[Though traumatic stress can cause a temporary hair loss during and around the time of the trauma, normal daily stress, including work related stress doesn't cause hair loss.

<description><![CDATA[There is no such thing as a hair loss cure, and laser therapy is far from one. Anyone who markets it as such is highly misleading people to make a profit. Those hair restoration physicians we've interviewed who use it in their practice agree that low level laser therapy is much better at slowing down or stopping the progression of genetic female hair loss or male pattern baldness than regrowing hair...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In my opinion, Propecia (finasteride) and Rogaine (minoxidil) are the best non-surgical treatments to stop and potentially reverse male pattern baldness. Rogaine can be purchased in just about any drug store or online. Propecia is only available with a prescription from a doctor. Generic finasteride can be purchased online also however, if you are considering this option, please make sure you are purchasing your finasteride from...]]></description>
