Female Hair Loss, Thinning Hair in Women,
and Pattern Baldness (Alopecia).
You get
up in the morning and look at your pillow.
More hair has fallen out during the night.
You brush your hair and end up pulling more
hair out of your brush.
In an
effort to hide your scalp, you try different
hair styles; you spend more and more time
trying to tease it; you try volumizing
shampoos. Nothing works.
Are you
going bald or is it a sign of a serious
illness?
Causes of Female Hair Loss and
Thinning Hair
in Women
The most
common type of hair loss seen in women is
androgenetic alopecia, also known as female
pattern alopecia or baldness and
alopecia
areata.
 Physical
and Emotional Stress
Surgeries, severe illnesses and emotional
stress can cause hair loss.
In many
cases there is a three month delay between
the actual event and the onset of hair loss.
Additionally, there may be another three
month delay prior to the return of
noticeable hair re-growth.
This
means that the total hair loss and re-growth
cycle can last six months or possibly longer
when induced by physical or emotional
stress.
Hormonal Considerations
Hormonal
changes are a common cause of hair loss.
Many women do not realize that hair loss can
occur after pregnancy or following
discontinuation of birth control pills.
Dietary Considerations
Female
hair loss may also occur due to dieting.
Franchised diet programs which are designed
or administered under the direction of a
physician with prescribed meals, dietary
supplements and vitamin ingestion have
become popular. Sometimes the client is told
that vitamins are a necessary part of the
program to prevent hair loss associated with
dieting.
From a
dermatologists standpoint, however, the
vitamins cannot prevent hair loss associated
with rapid, significant weight loss.
