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.

I am really worried, Please help me. I'll be really grateful. Thanks!

Answer
Hello: The type of hair loss that causes excessive shedding is called telogen effluvium. There are many possible causes for this type of hair loss. Some of the more common causes include low ferritin levels,  medications, birth control, illness, infection, thyroid imbalance, trauma, stress, exposure to toxins, etc. This type of hair loss is often temporary and self-correcting but it can become severe and chronic. Essential oil scalp treatments can be very effective to stimulate new hair growth and produce strong, healthier hair, but it is important to try to determine and treat the underlying cause. You will find more information in my website. The following link will lead you to download-able books that can help you understand female hair loss and also guide you in blending your own formulas to treat hair loss.
