The Main Causes Of Hair Loss In Women

When you think of hair loss is natural to assume that this is a condition that mainly affects people. Some experts, however, show that even one in four women experience hair loss at some point in their lives. So, why do not we see and hear more about it? Perhaps the answer has to do with one or more of the following:
- Women are better at disguising hair loss.
- Women's hair loss is generally less extensive in terms of severity.
- Women's hair loss tends to be uniform over the head, and not concentrated in one or two places.
So why do women lose hair - are caused by very different to those that result in male baldness? There are probably three common reasons for hair loss in women:
First Male pattern baldness - believe it or not, most women affected by hair loss lose for the same reasons as men. They suffer from androgenetic alopecia which is a reaction to male hormones in the body, especially the conversion of testosterone into DHT hair hostile. In the case of women, hair loss can start later and the effects may be less extreme due to the influence of female hormones, but the situation is still the same as that in male pattern baldness.
Second Telogen effluvium - this is considered as the second most common cause of female hair loss and this is surprising given the nature of the situation. Telogen effluvium is characterized by a general thinning of hair and is usually rendered as a result of some traumatic event causing sufficient stress interfere with the normal hair growth cycle. Given that pregnancy is the best example of the type of event that can shock the hair growth cycle then perhaps the high incidence of telogen effluvium amongst women only to be expected.
