About Melanie Vonzabuesnig
Expertise
Female hair loss is my main focus. Women today are very susceptible to several types of hair loss including telogen effluvium, alopecia areata, and androgenetic alopecia. I can answer questions about the causes and types of female hair loss. I can share information about natural holistic remedies to improve female hair loss conditions.

Experience
My interest in female hair loss sprung from my own experience with extensive hair loss. Determined to grow my hair back, I diligently studied every piece of information I could find on the biology of hair growth. After successfully re-growing my hair with safe and effective natural products, I felt compelled to learn more and to share this information with other women. I am experienced in blending custom hair loss formulas. I am also experienced in writing about female hair loss issues.

Publications
My hair loss information has been included in The Truth about Womens Hair Loss by Spencer Kobren, Naturally Healthy Skin by Stephanie Tourles, Alternative Healing by Bill Gottleib and Natural Health Magazine. I am the author of several books on hair loss.

Education/Credentials
I am a certified aromatherapist specializing in formulas for scalp and hair conditions.

Question
Hi, I have been taking yasmin since august 2008 for treating PCOD. I feel my hair is falling out more than usual. Is there any way that I can help my hair against falling out?

Answer
Hello Sandy:
Thinning hair is a symptom of PCOD. With this condition, you are more likely to notice individual hairs becoming thinner, providing less scalp coverage, rather than noticing a dramatic increase in shedding. Any medication, especially birth control can trigger hair loss. I realize that you are taking this medication to help with PCOS and the medication may be helping with some of the other symptoms. It would be a good idea to discuss the hair loss and possible Yasmin connection with your doctor.
Insulin resistance and hypothyroidism are often associated with PCOS. Both of these conditions can cause hair loss. An anti-inflammatory diet may be very helpful, as well as taking extreme care of your health (fresh air, exercise, relaxation, etc).
Essential oil scalp massage treatments are very effective for stimulating new hair growth and improving hair loss conditions. As long as the follicle is still alive improvements can be made. You can learn more at the links provided below. Please let me know if I can help you further.
Sincerely, Melanie Vonzabuesnig
