Female Pattern Hair Loss - Thinning Hair

Three Personal Stories, Part II
(Part I: Female Hair Loss)

In Part I, we introduced three women experiencing female pattern hair loss: The kind of hair loss that occurs due to genetics.

For genetic female pattern hair loss or baldness, there are a number of treatments available, not all of which are suitable for all women.

A number of health conditions and some medications may cause follicle damage and increase the likelihood of thinning hair. Some are temporary, while others are long-term. Verify with your doctor the cause of your hair thinning & subsequent hair loss.

Let's find out what our three women decided to do about thinning hair and the onset of hair loss problems, and how happy they were with the results.

Three Women with Thinning Hair: Helen, Wendy, and Carly

1. Helen had seen the TV commercials for Rogaine™ (minoxidil) for thinning hair. Helen was sceptical of those claims and other hair loss products. She didn't like the idea of using strong medications. Most of the products that dealt with hair loss were for men. Helen decided she’d rather hide her thinning hair than risk further harm to her remaining hair.
   
   Nervous about people noticing the extent of her hair thinning and falling out. Helen bought herself an expensive wig. She loved the style and color, and it matched the way her hair used to look 10 years ago. But it was so itchy and uncomfortable that she rarely wore it except for special occasions. Meanwhile, her remaining hair became thinner and continued to fall out. She could not deny evidence of her hair falling out when her shower drain pipe became clogged - her husband found out about the problem!

1. Wendy, our busy real estate agent, had heard about prescription Propecia™ (finasteride) and asked her doctor about it. He said Propecia™ is prohibited for female pattern baldness and thinning hair, because of the risk of birth defects should the woman become pregnant. So she decided to try Rogaine™ lotion for thinning hair. She found that having to leave the solution to dry on her scalp every day was a nuisance, but she persevered. After six months of starts and stops, the inconvenience was considerable and the results were unsatisfactory. She still had thinning hair. Wendy was unconvinced that the lotion would prevent hair from falling out. So Wendy stopped using RogaineTM. She is once again looking for a treatment for female pattern hair loss that works for her.

1. Carly, our young mom of three, wanted an easy, convenient way to treat her thinning hair. Carly did not have major hair loss yet, but was proactive in her hair care. Her solution had to be natural and safe. She started researching herbal treatments, looking for something safe for thinning hair and with minimal or no known side effects. A friend told her about Bio-Fen PlusTM capsules, saying that her husband was taking them and having good results.

When Carly looked at the ingredients list and saw all the botanical extracts and vitamins, she became very interested in Bio-Fen PlusTM. She was surprised that many of those same ingredients could treat thinning hair by themselves! What a combination if all of them were used to treat her AGA. She read that women take Bio-Fen PlusTM once a day in capsule form to treat their female pattern hair loss. Carly decided to try it.

That was almost a year ago. Carly says her hair stopped thinning and falling out after about 3 months on Bio-Fen PlusTM, and her hair is even starting to grow back in places. Her hair condition has also improved. Bio-Fen PlusTM was the right solution for her because of its safe, natural composition, ease of use, and low risk of side effects.
