Hair Loss in Women

As many as one in four women will experience hair loss at some time in their lives. We don't see and hear a lot about hair loss in women because women are better at disguising hair loss.

Women's hair loss is generally less extensive in terms of severity and women's hair loss tends to be spread evenly over the head rather than concentrated in one or two spots.

Why do women lose hair and are the causes very different to those that result in male baldness?

There are probably three common reasons for hair loss in women:

Female pattern baldness - Hair loss in women

Most women affected by hair loss lose it for the same reasons as men. They suffer from androgenic alopecia which is a reaction to male hormones in the body, specifically the conversion of testosterone into DHT. In the case of women, pattern baldness may start later and the effects may be less extreme due to the influence of female hormones, but the condition is the same as that found in male pattern baldness.

Telogen effluvium - Hair loss in women

This is regarded as the second most common cause of women's hair loss. Telogen effluvium is characterized by a general thinning of the hair and is usually brought about as a result of some traumatic event causing sufficient stress to interfere with the normal hair growth cycle. Pregnancy is a prime example of the type of event that can shock the hair growth cycle so perhaps the high incidence of telogen effluvium amongst women is only to be expected.

Alopecia areata -Hair loss in women

This is the third most common hair loss condition to affect women. It's characterized by patchy areas of hair loss on the head or it can be more widespread over the entire body. It's thought to be caused by deficiencies in the immune system but much is still unknown about the condition. In many cases the hair regrows spontaneously after a certain period of time, but in a minority of cases the problem may be more severe and longstanding.

If you are a female and experience any form of hair loss in women arrange to visit your hair loss doctor or regualr doctor as soon as possible to discuss the remedies, home remedies and treatment options that may be suitable for your particular condition.
