Some of The Many Factors In Women's Hair Loss

By Elena Lopes


Women's hair loss is attributed to a variety of causes, and it's also a lot more common than you might think. For whatever reason, hair loss in men gets more exposure than it does for women, despite the fact that it happens perhaps close to the same amount as it does in men. So why don't you hear about it as often?

We're not sure if there are any TV programming or commercials devoted to this condition in women. What is known at this point is there is more than one reason for a thinning hair condition seen in women. If you're looking for some information about thinning hair in women, then keep reading because that's what we're about to discuss.

Another situation that can adversely effect a woman's hair is pregnancy. The effect is that some experience rapid hair growth, but for other women the opposite happens. This is quite common after the baby is born when all of the extra hair that grew in while the woman was pregnant starts to be shed.

This is normal, but for first-time pregnancies it can be a bit shocking. But in time, after hormones and other body chemistries even-out, then the hair will also go back to the former state of normalcy. So the main point is to not let it get you too worked-up.

For both men and women, there is a cycle type of pattern with the growth of hair. Everyone's hair will see a lifespan of maybe several years, give or take, and that's for each strand. In about six years, hair will be shed after about half an inch of growth in a month.

Hair grows in cycles. Maybe about two years, roughly, is the normal lifespan of a strand of hair. There will be growth of roughly a half inch/month, and then in roughly six years it will be shed.

But for some women, there is a genetic induced interruption of the hair growth cycle. There are no known genetic engineering based treatments for that condition. The good news is that it doesn't stop permanently (usually) it just gets put on hold from time to time. It can present problems, but you can find ways to address them. Men's hair loss gets far more attention than women's hair loss. The amazing thing about it is that women and men have hair loss in the same amount. What you've read, today, is just a few out of the many causes of hair loss in women. But these are some of the more well known causes.
