Hair Loss in Women
Hereditary
Androgenetic Alopecia, or Female Pattern Hair Loss, is a hereditary condition that shortens the lifecycle of hair. Androgenetic Alopecia causes the hair follicles to become smaller, eventually leading to thinner, and light coloured hair. In Female Pattern Hair Loss, the most extensive hair loss happens on the top of the head.
After Pregnancy
During Pregnancy, women’s hairs are much fuller and thicker. It is after giving birth that women suffer from hair loss. It is a common occurrence for hair to fall in large quantity, however, once the women’s body returns to the pre-pregnancy stage, hair growth returns to normal.
Birth Control
Though birth control prevents pregnancy, the pills have a lot of side effects. One of the side effects of using birth control is thinning of hair and hair fall. Some women have also reported hair loss after they stop taking the pill. Hair loss with birth control usually happens to women who are sensitive to the hormones that are in the pill and who have a history of hormone-related hair loss. The pill moves the hair from its growing phase into its resting phase faster than usual. Hair loss of this form is called Telogen Effluvium. Birth control related hair loss is temporary and should stop once the body gets used to the pill.
Other birth control methods that cause hair loss in women are:
Vaginal Rings
Hormonal Injections
Skin Patches
Progestin Implants
Telogen Effluvium
Telogen Effluvium is temporary hair loss which happens if you are undergoing stress, hormonal imbalance, diet, or a traumatic event. During this time the hair follicles are in a resting phase and result in an increase in hair fall and temporary loss of hair across the scalp. Once the cause has been corrected, hair growth should return to normal.[/vc_column_text][/trx_accordion_item][trx_accordion_item title=”Whom to blame for hair loss?”][vc_column_text]Women can inherit hair loss DNA from either parents or one of them, though it is a myth that genetic hair loss is inherited from only one side of the family.
