Healthy Hair Support for Women
Hair Loss Overview
Female Pattern Baldness (FPB) effects 1 out of every 4 women in the United States. Recent findings have found that the incidence of FPB has been reported to be as low as 8% and as high as 87%. And, it does appear to be as common for women as for men. Most often, menopause is the most frequent time for female hair loss to become apparent.
For women hair loss can be even more troubling than for men. Female hair loss is not generally accepted as part of the normal aging process. Society has come to expect a thick, luxurious head of hair as part of the attractiveness in women.
While men and women can both experience pattern baldness, they typically do not lose their hair in the same order or appearance.
Female Hair Loss
There is no set pattern for female hair loss. Some women don’t start to lose their hair until later on in life, others find their hair thinning while they are relatively young.
Many women feel isolated and alone when their hair starts to thin but it isn’t uncommon. In fact, more than 1 in 4 women inherit thinning hair.
Many people believe that hair dryers and tongs can cause women to lose hair. This is not the case. Over-treating and colouring hair can have an adverse effect and might even cause hair to break off near the scalp – but it can’t cause long-term hair loss.
There are many reasons for women to lose their hair but the most common is hereditary thinning or alopecia – it accounts for 95% of female hair loss.
Causes of Female Hair Loss
Hormones — One cause of hair loss in women can be hormonal imbalances. Having an overactive or under active thyroid gland may cause thinning hair. Treating the thyroid disease will usually help this type of female hair loss. Hormones can also cause hair loss if female hormones (estrogens), are out of balance causing womens hair loss. However, if the hormone imbalance is corrected, the hair loss should stop.
Child Birth — Child birth may result in sudden hair loss in women. It's common for many women to notice hair loss after pregnancy - imately 3 months after they've had a baby. This too, is caused by hormones. But this is not something to worry about. During pregnancy, hair shedding during the normal hair cycle is retarded in by high levels of hormones. Once the hormones have returned to pre-pregnancy levels, this extra hair is shed with the normal cycle of hair growth and loss returning over time.
Hair Loss from Menopause and Hormonal Therapies — some causes of female hair loss can come from hormonal therapies such as Progesterone, a female hormone that inhibits the development of a new follicle. Hair loss and menopause are commonly linked and result in thinning hair in older women. Before menopause, about 13 percent of women experience hair thinning. After menopause, reporting of the problem from women increases to about 37 percent.
Do shampoos and other hair products cause hair loss?
An allergic reaction to any constituent in shampoo or hair products can cause hair loss. Shampoos are designed to be as safe as possible, although there is always someone who will react to them. Caustic hair dyes, straighteners, and other products can certainly cause inflammation of the scalp and result in hair loss.
Can my hairstyle cause my hair to fall out?
Certain hairstyles can contribute to hair loss, most notably styles involving tight braids or pull-backs. This form of hair loss is called traction alopecia. This occurs when the hair is pulled tightly back and fastened at the base of the skull, or braided into tight braids or rows. Exposure to this type of hairstyle over long periods can result in a scarring alopecia, with no potential for regrowth.

During treatment for hair loss, you can expect to return to the doctor periodically to determine the response to treatment and to monitor for side effects from the medications being used.
