Hair loss is usually thought of as a problem affecting men. However many women may also affected by this condition. The causes of hair loss in women are sometimes different, but it is still important to get a good balance of vitamins and minerals in your diet, for your general health as well as the health of your hair. For some women,taking lysine may help with hair growth by helping your body store iron.

Some women may notice an increase in hair loss after pregnancy. This is normal, as you actually lose less hair while you are pregnant. Once you give birth your hormones start to return to normal, and you lose the extra hair that you would have normally lost during pregnancy.

Many women will find that their hair starts to thin after menopause. Up to three quarters of women are affected by hair loss  later in life. Fortunately, some of this hair loss is only temporary. There are a range of hair loss treatments available for women in this situation, including lotions and medication. Talk to your doctor about what is best for your situation. Of course, taking vitamins for your hair loss may also help with hair growth and strength but check with your doctor if you are pregnant or on any other medication.
