Hair Loss Is on the Rise, and Women Are Among the Hardest Hit - eReleases (press release)- Topic: Hairloss News

Agonizing over their hair loss, they try to hide it with make-up, creative hairstyles, or sometimes even hair extensions, which can actually further damage already stressed-out hair. Ironically, stress itself is the main reason why many women are facing hair loss and what appears to be early balding, according to Erkkie Harris-Wells, a trichologist and founder of the Costa-Mesa, Calif. As someone who diagnoses and treats hair and scalp disorders, Harris-Wells has a bird's-eye view of this medical trend - and is no longer surprised to see the physical indicators of stress when viewing hair samples through a microscope. The testing also shows that stress doesn't discriminate - it's present in the hair of women young and old, but particularly those leading demanding careers or lifestyles, Harris-Wells says. Through trichology, hair samples are microscopically examined, and a program is custom-designed around the diagnosis to prevent further hair loss and restore it to health. Most Mayohara patients experience over 90 percent success rate without using products such as Rogaine, which can have serious side effects and is effective in only 35 percent of hair loss cases. read more
