Most women suffer excessive hair thinning at some time in their lives.
Often it follows child-birth and occasionally an illness. Stress can induce hair loss as can dieting or a poor diet generally. Changes in the hormone levels in the body causes some thinning of the hair in more than half of all women in this country and still more have hair loss in the form of breakage due to the use of poor quality hair products. In many cases it is temporary and the hair will grow back normally without, any help. In others, however, the excessive hair fall, if not treated, will lead to permanent baldness.
