Hair Loss in Women

Hair loss in women has, unfortunately, not been as widely addressed as hair loss in men. Though not many women go completely bald, thinning hair can be a severe and devastating problem. There are many causes of hair loss in women, including hormonal activity, stress, circulatory problems, over-processing, and even pulling hair into tight styles such as braids, cornrows or ponytails.

Hair loss caused by hormonal changes is the most common cause. Women produce both estrogen and testosterone, and when the balance between them changes, as happens in pregnancy and after menopause, hair loss often results. One of the byproducts of the metabolism of testosterone is dihydrotestosterone or DHT. DHT creates a chemical bond with the hair follicle, interfering with the normal cycle of growth and rest. As the cycles become shorter, the resulting hair is thinner and weaker. Finally it stops growing altogether.

What Can Be Done to Prevent Hair Loss in Women?

At Kevis, we have developed a safe, natural and effective way to block the action of DHT and prevent hair loss in women. One of the body's inherent weapons against hair loss is a substance called hyaluronic acid, which occurs naturally in the eyes, knees and in sperm. We have created a patented version of this naturally occurring molecule called HUCP, which preferentially bonds with the hair follicles' receptors, blocking the harmful DHT molecules.

Hair loss in women doesn't have to be a natural result of aging, pregnancy, or other hormonal factors. By treating your hair consistently with Kevis shampoo, conditioner and other products, you can block the effects of DHT and allow your hair to regain its natural strength and beauty.
