21 Reasons Why You’re Losing Your Hair

Hair loss… on a woman? It’s happening to increasing numbers of us – and it eats away at your femininity like an acid

Experts say the increase in women seeking help for hair loss is in part due to a greater availability of treatments.

Hair Loss? It May Be Iron Deficiency

As a general rule, the less ferritin in the blood, the less iron a body has stored up. Cotsarelis and Trost say that what most doctors consider to be a normal ferritin level is, in fact, too low. Ferritin levels of 10-15 ng/mL are within the “normal” range. Cotsarelis says a ferritin level of at least 50 ng/mL is needed to help replenish hair. Trost and Bergfeld shoot for 70 ng/mL.
