Several major factors lead to female hair loss

Human are not the only ones who have to worry about losing their precious locks. Although it is more common in men, hair loss in women is not as uncommon as you might think. It is estimated that hair loss affects 1 in 5 women. The most common types of hair loss is telogen effluvium and alopecia areata. Although it is more common than alopecia areata, telogen effluvium is less severe. This occurs when hair follicles stop growing and dormant and fall within two to three months. Because telogen effluvium is often caused by stress, trauma or drugs, hair growth is usually restored within 6-9 months. On the other hand, alopecia areata occurs when white blood cells attack the hair follicles, causing the hair to thin and fall, usually in patches. This type of hair loss may require treatment as the hair will grow back on its own.

Hormonal imbalance and hair loss
Hair loss in women is largely due to a hormonal imbalance, as it is in men and is a symptom of the least known and least frequent menopause. Hair loss is not as prevalent in women because women have more estrogen than men, and that in turn helps to balance the effects of androgens, namely dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which usually lead the loss of women’s hair. Other hormonal imbalances such as thyroid problems and genetic hormonal responses in autoimmune diseases can also cause thinning hair and premature baldness in women.

Stress and hair loss
Although women do not have nearly as much testosterone as men, where women experience intense stress, the adrenal glands become overworked due to an increased need for the “stress hormone” known as the cortisol. This causes the body to produce more adrenaline and testosterone and DHT, a stronger variant of testosterone. The increased production of these hormones can sometimes cause hair loss due to a resulting hormonal imbalance.

Hair loss after pregnancy
It is common that women experience hair loss after pregnancy, when her hormones are in disarray.

In such cases, hair loss is only temporary and the treatment is often not necessary. After pregnancy, women can expect to regrow hair naturally after a few months. If the hair does grow back in the first year, chances are something else happens.
