Question: Hi, I am female and I have long thick dark hair. I performed the 60 second hair count test and counted way more hairs (78) than what your article states when performed on men. Is this test applicable to women? Should I be concerned? Does the shed count differ for women?

Answer: The DIY hair count test was developed for men and is not necessarily applicable to assessing hair loss in women. However, it can be used as a rough indicator. You should consult a professional and have your hair growth examined if you think that you might be experiencing hair loss. You may well have diffuse hair loss or possibly female pattern hair loss. In terms of treating your hair loss, minoxidil is the only proven medication available to women, and depending on the type and extent of your loss a hair loss specialist can prescribe the ideal daily dosage for you, up to a high strength minoxidil cream for stubborn thinning.

DS Laboratories Inc., 1601 GREEN RD, POMPANO BEACH,FL 33064, (1 888 404 7770): DS Laboratories is a technology company above all else, producing some of the world’s finest hair health, personal care, skin care and anti-aging products on the market. Their most popular products include the Hydroviton.CR face wash for men and women and Revita, a hair stimulating shampoo for men. DS Laboratories, a technology company focused on producing innovative health and beauty products based on science, is the maker of Revita shampoo, a revolutionary product designed to both avoid shedding and preserve hair. This unique shampoo for men and women maintains the scalp’s vitality using antioxidant, antifungal, anti-inflammatory and anti-DHT agents to prevent follicular dysfunction with additional active ingredients to hydrate and nourish hair follicles.

The corporate philosophy of DS Laboratories is “Do not imitate,” which fuels both research and development of new products to keep the company at the forefront of innovation with each product the result of a blank-slate approach. Revita follows this philosophy and contains the recently discovered procyanidin B-2, a hair stimulating compound shown in clinical trials to promote rejuvenation of the hairline as effectively as minoxidil (Rogaine) does at the vertex.

Revita shampoo also contains additional active ingredients designed to keep the scalp healthy, including copper peptide complex to counteract degenerative disease of aging skin and hair, spin traps to detoxify free radicals, ketoconazole to remove excess oil and irritation and rooibos for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

DS Laboratories has also included methylsulfonylmethane, a nutrient designed to feed follicles to grow new hair, as well as amino acids to construct proteins to improve hair’s strength, emu oil for nutrition and hydration and biotin.

As DS Laboratories states, “Despite outstanding scientific advances in this decade — including micro-graft transplantation, strong systemic drugs, and high-performance topical treatments like Spectral.DNC — it is still easier to retain hair than to regrow it after it falls out.”

That’s why Revita shampoo was formulated for hair retention and to support regrowth treatments to help consumers avoid hair loss and speed regrowth. This medicated shampoo is based on years of research by the company, including work on male pattern baldness. The same hormones that cause hair to lose color and fall out after puberty are also responsible for hair to gain pigment and grow thickly on the body during puberty.

Scientists believe this is the result of more androgen receptors on the hair follicles, as well as higher local production of DHT by the follicles. The anti-DHT agents in Revita are designed to slow and stop this natural process by removing excess DHT from the scalp where it can cause hair loss.

Revita shampoo from DS Laboratories is available at online stores, retail stores and salons throughout the world. To find a nearby distributor or salon, visit http://www.dslaboratories.com/
