Hair loss in women occurs at menopause, when estrogen levels decrease. Estrogen is the female hormone responsible to keep hair growing.
There's hardly anything worse than losing your hair! Statistics show that almost 37% of women experience hair thinning after menopause. Approximately 50% of all menopausal women will experience some degree of hair loss.
Hair follicles tend to shrink, the hair become thinner and it doesn't grow any more. The receding begins at the temples and thinning may be seen as a general pattern over the entire scalp.
Solutions To Prevent Hair Loss
Diet and exercise - strong, healthy hair is a result of good nutrition; eat foods that contain estrogen, like soy and yams. Exercise more, start by walking. In my opinion, walking is a top menopause treatment solution.
Take vitamins and minerals - especially B Complex, Zinc, Biotin, Iron.
Take Provillus - it contains Minoxidil, the only FDA approved ingredient for women. Their formula features the vitamins, minerals and herbs targeted for hair growth and vitality. It is a powerful combination of topical solution and tablets. The solution massaged into affected areas stimulates the hair follicles from outside to in and the tablets work from inside to out.
Be patient! It will take a little time for your hair follicles to get re-organized and back into production. Just as a seed in the ground doesn't show any activity at first, and then pushes up into the sunlight, you new hair will be doing the same thing. The sooner you get started, the sooner you start re-growing your own natural hair.

Tips and Tricks
Trim hair - shorter is better; when loosing hair, a slightly layered bob will give your hair both movement and illusion of volume.
Color - if there is a contrast between hair color and skin, play it down by lightening your hair if the scalp is fair, or darken it if the skin is dark.
