Hair loss can be an emotionally troubling experience for some women. Luckily, experts do have suggestions on how to treat and prevent this condition.
According to Dr. Robert Jones of the Hair Transplant Center in Oakville, ON, hair loss in women is largely genetically determined—he estimates that nearly 80 to 90 percent of hair loss in both men and women is due to a family history of the condition. But some women can experience hair loss as the result of a thyroid dysfunction, pregnancy hormones or because of side effects of medicines such as antidepressants and birth control pills. Nick Dimakos, founder of SureThik International in Toronto, agrees stress and lower-than-normal levels of estrogen (雌性激素) are other contributing factors to hair loss in females. Low levels of iron and over-use of chemical hair products such as artificial dyes (染料) can also lead to thinning hair, which can be especially difficult for women, for whom hair loss is much less socially acceptable than it is for men. “Women lose about 25 percent of their hair before even noticing there’s a problem,” Dimakos says. “It can be devastating (毀滅性的) for them.”
There is no surefire (一定成功的) way to prevent hair loss, but there are steps you can take to reduce the amount of hair you lose. Dimakos recommends visiting your doctor because early discovery and treatment can prevent unnecessary hair loss. He also recommends using mild hair products, avoiding hair dyes or extensions, avoiding smoking and taking vitamin B12 if you suspect hair loss may be in your future. Wearing hair in a ponytail (馬尾辮) or braid (辮子) regularly can also lead to weakened hair that is likely to fall out, so it may be best to avoid wearing these styles too often.
Of course, if your hair begins to lose, you’d better seek treatment.
? Hair transplants
Very few women turn to hair transplants because unlike men, women suffering from hair loss usually have thinning hair all over their heads rather than only in one area. If there is not enough hair somewhere else on the head that can be taken to fill in the gaps, a transplant cannot be performed.
? Minoxidil
Found in Rogaine, an over-the-counter (OTC) product, this is a medicine that lowers blood pressure. But it can also slow down or stop hair loss, says Dimakos. This option may work for some women, but it is important to consult your physician before taking any type of medication.

18．Hair Loss （Alopecia）
Information about male pattern baldness（禿頂） causes，triggers and treatment in the UK
In contrary lo popular belief，hair loss-or alopecia-can start at any age．Whilst it is associated with mature males，and statistics show it does mainly affect men about 40，the reality is you can notice symptoms in your 30s，or even 20s and teen years．The NHS statistics state that 25% of men start losing their hair by the time they reach 30．The most common form of hair loss is male pattern baldness-also known as androgenic alopecia-that affects more than half of men around the world．

One option many men seek is treatment to avoid further hair loss，especially early on in the process．With treatments，such as Propecia，that specifically target male pattern baldness，it is possible to stop hair loss completely and even encourage fresh new hair growth．
What is alopecia？
Alopecia is the medical term for hair loss．Most commonly affecting males，hair loss in men is caused by an increased sensitivity to the male sex hormones （androgens）．The type of alopecia you have （as well as hereditary and external factors） can influence levels of hair loss．The most common type of hair loss （alopecia） is male and female pattern baldness．Other types include：
•Alopecia areata （patches of baldness，usually on the scalp）
•Scarring alopecia （hair loss directly affecting the hair follicles）
•Telogen effluvium （hair thinning over a larger area on the top of the head，rather than bald patches）
•Anagen effluvium （most commonly caused by cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy）

60．Which of the following statements is FALSE about Propecia？C

There are several reasons for hair loss in women. However, in most cases, treatment is quite effective. Female hair loss patterns in women are not as easily recognizable as they are in men. A woman may experience it temporarily(暫時地) due to pregnancy or illness, although they may experience it for other reasons.

   Hair loss can be due to a variety of factors, including a genetic tendency ( which is not genetically linked to just one parent—both parents contribute to the tendency to lose hair).

   Women who are experiencing hair problems seem to have more limited choices than men. There are some female hair loss treatments that are available such as the Tricomin System which is a topical treatment that is nutrition based. Shen Min for Women is another natural treatment that contains herbs (草藥) that are said to stimulate(刺激) hair growth and even restore hair that is graying to its natural color.

   The majority of the popular, proven hair loss treatments are only intended for men and are not suitable for women. True, a woman’s hair issue is different from a man’s. The biological makeup is different and the needs are different. Women have different needs and their bodies react in different ways to environmental changes, physical illness and even the treatments that are available. There are many natural treatments such as vitamin and mineral supplements that are said to stimulate hair growth, but, for the most part, these claims are currently unproven.

   One of the first and most important factors to effectively treating is to get a diagnosis from a doctor. Talk to your doctor about any symptoms that you may be experiencing in addition to the thinning hair. Stress, weight loss or gain, illness and depression, all of these can be contributing factors.

It can be learned from the 1^st paragraph that ___________.

usually hair loss is hard to heal

female hair loss is more common than the men’s

women tend to suffer from hair loss during the pregnant period

only illness contribute to hair loss

Which of the following statements matches the text about the two treatments?

5．There are several reasons for hair loss in women．However，in most cases，treatment is quite effective．Female hair loss patterns in women are not as easily recognizable as they are in men．A woman may experience it temporarily due to pregnancy or illness，although they may experience it for oher reasons．
Hair loss can be due to a variety of factors，including a genetic tendency （which is not genetically linked to just one parent-both parents contribute to the tendency to lose hair）．
Women who are experiencing hair problems seem to have more limited choices than men．There are some female hair loss treatments that are available such as the Tricmin System which is a topical treatment that is nutrition based．Shen Min for Women is another natural treatment that contains herbs （藥草）that are said to stimulate（刺激）hair growth and even restore hair that is graying to its natural color．
The majority of the popular，prove hair loss treatments are only intended for men and are not smitable for women．True  a woman's hair issue is different from a  man's．The hiological makeup is   different and the needs are difterent．Women have different needs and their bodies react in different ways to environmental changes，physical illness and even the treatments that are available．There are many natural treatments such as vitamin and mineral supplements that are said to stimulate hair growth，but，for the most part，these claims are currently unproven．
One of the first and most important factors to effectively treating is to get a diagnosis from a doctor．Talk to your doctor about any symptoms（癥狀）that you may be experiencing in addition to the thinning hair．Stress，weight loss or gain，illness and depression，all of these can be contributing factors．

28．It can be learned from the 1st paragraph thatC．
A．usually hair loss is hard to heal．
B．female hair loss is more common than the men's．
C．women tend to suffer from hair loss during the pregnant period．
D．only illness contributes to hair loss．
29．Which of the following statements matches the text about the two treatments？D
A．Both are to solve the problem of male hair loss．
B．Tricomin System is effective in speeding the growth of the new hair．
C．Shen Min is an updated way of treating hair loss．
D．The former is nutrition-based，while the latter is medicine-based．
30．The reasons for the differences between the femal and male hair loss problems do not includeD．
A．The biological structure and composition of the hair
B．The wants and needs
C．The reactions and responses to the outside changes
D．The approach to taking exercise
31．The natural treatmentsA．
A．include vitamin and mineral supplements．
B．a(chǎn)re applied to keep the hair healthy．
C．have been proved useful．

Every year billions of pounds are spent on hair loss treatment. If we succeed in curing hair loss with 3D printed hair follicles(毛囊), it will be a huge revolution.

L’Oreal, the cosmetics firm is partnering with a French bio-printing company called Poietis, which has developed a form of laser(激光) printing for cell-based objects. Poietis’ technique begins with the creation of a digital map that determines where living cells and other tissue components should be placed to create the desired biological structure. This involves how the cells are expected to grow over time. The file based on the digital map is then turned into instructions for the printing equipment, so that it can lay down tiny droplets made out of the cell-based "bio ink" one layer at a time. The printing process involves bouncing a pulsing laser off a mirror and through a lens, so that when it hits a ribbon(色帶) containing the bio ink, a droplet of the matter falls into place. About 10,000 of these micro-droplets are created every second.

It typically takes about 10 minutes to print a piece of skin 1cm wide by 0.5mm thick. However, since hair follicles are complex and consist of 15 different cells in a structure, they may take longer.

Poietis is not the only company working on bio-printing, but most others use another way, which involves pushing a bio-ink through a nozzle(噴嘴), rather than lasers to build their tissue. Poietis suggests its technique puts less stress on the biological matter, meaning there is less risk of causing it damage.

Alopecia UK—a charity that provides support and advice about hair loss—has mixed feelings about the development. “It is encouraging to know that companies such as L’Oreal are investing in technology that may help those with hair loss in the future,” said spokeswoman Amy Johnson.

“However, we would suggest it’s still very early to be getting excited about what this potentially could mean for those with medical hair loss. At this point it is unclear as to whether this technology could benefit those with all types of hair loss.”

“Also, if this new technology does lead to a treatment option, given the high costs of existing hair transplant procedures, how many people will be able to realistically afford any new technological advances that may become available? As with any other research and development into processes that may be able to help those with hair loss, we watch with great interest.”

Now more and more people may experience excessive (more than normal) hair loss(掉發(fā)). Hair loss of this type can affect men ,women and Children. But what causes excessive hair loss?

A number of things can cause excessive hair loss．For example，about 3 or 4 months after an illness，you may suddenly lose a large amount of hair ,This hair loss is related(與……有關(guān))to the　stress of the illness and it won’t last long．

For example，many women notice hair loss about 3 months after they’ve had a baby .This loss is also related to hormones (激素). During they have babies，high levels of certain hormones cause hair loss. When the hormone return to normal levels．The normal cycle of growth and loss starts again.

Another way of hair loss is the improper care of your hair .If you wear pigtails(辮子)or use tight (緊的)hair rollers, the pull(拉)on your hair can cause a type of hair loss.

Some medicine can cause hair loss．This type of hair loss improves when you stop taking the medicine．Medicine that can cause hair loss includes blood thinners，medicine used to treat cancer ,Vitamin A(if too much is taken)，birth control pills and so on．

But how to stop hair loss ? Perhaps your doctor can help you．He will probably ask you some questions about your diet，any medicine you’re taking，whether you’ve had a recent illness and how you take care of your hair．

Medicine may also help slow or prevent(阻止)the development of hair loss Some medicine is helpful．but you had better ask for doctors’ advice .
