AboutMelanie 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 am having severe hair loss. i have been trying to concieve for last 1 year hence taking medicines to induce regular ovulationa and other medicines to aid conception. I also have a problem of constipation. My hair loss is more in the front - just above my forehead and in the centre of my head - just like some men have. though i do not have any bald patches, it is sever hair thinning where in over the last few years i have shed almost 50% of my hair.Please help.
Answer Hello Geeta: The hair loss you describe sounds like androgenetic alopecia. Androgenetic alopecia causes follicles in certain areas (top/bang/crown) to gradually shrink causing the new hairs that grow in to be thinner and weaker providing less scalp coverage. The medication you are taking could contribute to this condition. Essential oil scalp massage treatments may help inhibit the effects and slow the process. You can read about using essential oils for thinning hair at the link provided below. Please let me know if I can help you further.
