Causes of Women’s Hair Loss

       There are many different reasons why a woman might have hair loss. While some causes of hair loss may be able to be prevented, there are some causes of hair loss that cannot. Here are just a few of the causes of hair loss in women.

Genetics:

       The most common form of hair loss known as Androgenetic Alopecia, can be passed down from either your mother or father.

Iron Deficiency:

       Women who have a form of iron deficiency due to a poor diet or genetics may lack enough of the red blood cells that are necessary to send oxygen throughout the body including to your hair follicles. This may lead your hair follicles to stop growing hair.

Telogen Effluvium:

       Telogen Effluvium mostly occurs after pregnancy. Telogen Effluvium, also known as hair shedding, starts when a woman is pregnant, but with the rise in hormone levels a woman may not immediately notice hair loss. Around 3-4 months after the baby is born, the hormone levels of the mother go back to normal causing large amounts of hair to possibly fall out to get the mother’s hair follicles back on a normal growth cycle. This process may last up to a year.

Too Much Hair Styling:

       Using too many hair products or an overexposure to heat and chemicals may cause your hair to become more brittle. Hair dyes that use an abundance of chemicals and hair dryers on a high heat may be the leading culprits as to why you have noticed an increased loss in hair.

Alopecia Areata:

       Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune disease that causes the immune system to attack hair follicles which may lead to bald spots. The cause of this disease is unknown.
