Are you losing more than 20-100 strands of hairs a day? If your answer is yes; you are experiencing hair loss. Before you get alarmed there are some changes in your body either conscious or unconscious that maybe causing your hair loss. Did you recently make a change in your diet? Are you eating enough proteins and amino acids? Is your body going trough a hormonal change (postpartum, thyroid), Anemia, stress, medications etc.? The most common causes of hair loss in women is usually not related to inherited genes, but is usually associated with other factors such as pregnancy, stress, chemotherapy, certain diets, thyroid hormone deficiency, some drugs or infections. Unlike men, hair loss in women is usually temporary and healthy re-growth can be a good possibility.
Women rarely go bald but usually experience significant thinning and reduction of the hair shaft diameter around the forehead and crown of the scalp as they age.
Common Causes of Hair Loss Among Women:
Hair Loss Due to Genetics: The most common cause of hair loss is rooted in your genes also known as androgenetic alopecia, hereditary hair loss can begin any time after puberty, but usually sets in before the age of forty and may accelerate around the time a woman reaches menopause.
Hair Loss Due to Pregnancy: A large amount of estrogen is produced during pregnancy causing the hair follicles to go into their growth phase. Once the birth is over the hormonal balance is restored and the opposite happens with the hair follicles going into a hair loss phase. This type of hair loss will correct itself over time.
Hair Loss Due to Stress: Another common reason for hair loss in women is stress known as Telogen Effluvium. What happens during this type of hair loss is that the growing healthy hairs enter the resting (telogen) phase of hair growth. The hairs matrix appears to stop dividing causing the hair to begin falling out. Usually women in their 40s to 60s will be affected by this kind of hair loss.
Hair Loss Due to Drugs or Supplements: The most common drug treatment that causes hair loss is Chemotherapy. This kind of medication attacks the hair cells of the matrix causing 90% hair loss from the scalp. Prescription drugs are also known to thin hair out. These can be Blood thinners, high blood pressure and cholesterol drugs. Some dieting supplements can also be causes of hair loss.
Hair Loss Due to Hair pulling: Also known as trichotillomania. Unlike other types or hair loss this is not a medical but more a psychological disorder. There are literally millions of people around the world that suffer from this hair loss condition. These are mostly adult women that suffer from low self esteem, anxiety, depression or are dissatisfied with their bodies. This hair loss condition can be effectively treated with counseling.
Hair Loss Due to Alopecia areata: The reasons for this are relatively unknown but research has shown that the cause is thought to be an auto immune disorder where the body mistakenly attacks the hair follicles. What follows is an inflammation of the hair follicles and surrounding hair structures. This causes the hair follicles to retreat into the deeper layers of skin shutting off an important nutrient supply, the follicles starve and the hair starts shedding followed by a dormant period.
Rogaine (the brand name for minoxidil) is the only over-the-counter drug approved to treat hereditary hair loss. It's available in 2 percent and 5 percent liquid solutions that are applied to the scalp. Rogaine works for both hereditary male-pattern baldness and female-pattern hair loss.
