Hair loss is a common problem among men and women. While it can be problematic for both genders, it certainly creates more problems for women. Bald men in our society are not as uncommon as bald women. So, as soon as there are signs of hair loss in women, they start thinking about undergoing female hair loss treatment.

Undergoing treatments or looking for remedies to counter hair loss is beneficial. However, it is better to know the real cause behind hair loss before rooting out the problem. In this way, appropriate treatment can be selected to prevent hair loss.

In most cases, among men and women both, the primary reason behind hair loss is pattern baldness. However, there may be other causes for hair loss.

In this article, we have discussed some of the most common reasons for hair loss in women.

Common Causes for Hair Loss in Women

There are a number of causes of hair loss in women. The 9 most common causes that will be discussed in detail below include:

  1. Hereditary Causes
  2. Pregnancy
  3. Birth Control Pills
  4. Nutritional Deficiencies
  5. Medication Side Effects
  6. Androgenetic Alopecia
  7. Emotional or Physical Stress
  8. Too-tight Hairstyles
  9. Heat Styling

Let’s discuss each cause in detail.

 

  • Hereditary Causes

 

Genetics play a very important part in causing hair loss. While hereditary hair loss is usually associated with male pattern baldness, it can equally affect women. The problem with hereditary hair loss is that there is nothing much that can be done to prevent it.

Minoxidil (Rogaine) and Finasteride are the only two FDA-approved drugs for female hair loss treatment. So, while we cannot completely stop the hereditary hair loss, we can certainly slow it down with these drugs. However, experts suggest starting the treatment sooner so it can yield better results.

 

  • Pregnancy

 

Hair loss during and after pregnancy is another common reason for women to lose hair. Some women may not experience hair loss (or hair shedding) during pregnancy. However, almost all ladies experience it after childbirth. After giving birth, the estrogen levels start going back to normal and this causes hair shedding.

Fortunately, hair shedding after childbirth is not permanent and it stops after almost 4 months of delivery. This means that there is no need to worry about this type of hair shedding.

However, if you want, you can try to make your hair appear fuller during this time. Try using volumizing shampoos and conditioners and products that are not too intensive for the hair. Avoid using the products that can weigh the hair down and apply conditioner on tips rather than roots of the hair.

 

  • Birth Control Pills

 

Another culprit for causing hair loss in women is birth control pills. Women tend to experience excessive hair loss while they are using these pills. However, some women may even experience hair loss for months after they have stopped taking them. Similarly, if they have discontinued taking the pills or changed the brand, hair shedding may occur.

The reason for this is the hormones. Female bodies react to every change that it experiences through the hormones. So, if taking, stopping, or changing the pills is a new experience for the body, it will react via hair shedding.

 

  • Poor Diet

 

More often than not we tend to overlook our diet. As a result, we suffer from nutritional deficiencies. According to experts, a healthy diet contains proteins, vitamins, iron, calcium, magnesium, zinc, and folate. When women do not have these elements in their diet, hair loss occurs.

Treating nutritional deficiencies is easy if you consult an expert as soon as possible. They will guide you about your diet and exercise routine. In turn, you will get rid of excessive hair loss and feel healthy in general.

 

  • Medication Side Effects

 

Sometimes, if we are on medication for a medical condition, it can react with our body. Due to this, excessive hair loss may occur. However, not every medicine has hair fall as its side effect.

Some blood thinners, acne medicines, antidepressants, beta-blockers, and cholesterol controlling drugs can cause hair loss among women. However, we cannot know on our own if a drug is not suited for us. Therefore, consulting a doctor is mandatory. They can better guide about the side effects and further recommend treatment.

 

  • Androgenetic Alopecia

 

Female pattern baldness, or androgenetic alopecia, is a very common reason for hair loss among women. Although androgenetic alopecia is more common in males, it can be found in females, too.

In male-pattern baldness, the hair loss is more prominent at the temples and crown of the head. In contrast, females lose hair from all over the head and as a result, suffer from extremely thin hair. Complete baldness is not common among females.

Minoxidil (Rogaine) can help slow down this condition but it is also unstoppable like hereditary hair loss. It starts as a person ages and women usually experience it during or post-menopause phase

 

  • Emotional or Physical Stress

 

One of the most common yet overlooked reasons for hair loss in women is physical or emotional stress. For this particular reason, no female hair loss treatment is needed as it can be managed in other ways. Fortunately, this type of hair loss is only temporary and as soon as you de-stress, it will be eliminated.

Focus on relaxing yourself and see the wonders. Yoga and meditation have proved to be beneficial for de-stressing one’s self. Going for walks and jogs also helps. You can try indulging in other activities that calm your nerves. Some people find cooking therapeutic while others turn towards music. So, all you have to do is find your relaxation corner and retreat to it until you come out of your stressful phase.

 

  • Too-tight Hairstyles

 

This may sound silly but wearing tight braids and high ponytails can cause traction alopecia. This means that regularly wearing hairstyles that are too tight can speed up the thinning of the hairline. To avoid this from happening, make sure you don’t keep one hairstyle for long. Moreover, tight braids and high ponytails must be avoided as much as one can.

  • Heat Styling

 

As much as we love straightening and drying our hair, they can cause hair loss. The heat emerging from these electronics makes the hair dry and weak. As a result of this, they tend to break off very quickly and easily.

To stop hair loss of this type, you may need to minimize the use of heat styling electronics. Moreover, to repair the already damaged hair, you can do oil therapies and conditioning.

The Final Verdict

To sum up, we can say that, prevention is better than cure. So, if you love your hair try to take care of them as much as possible. There are many causes of hair loss but most of them can be treated with the help of home remedies or medication. But if you have tried everything and you still cannot stop your hair loss, consider Female hair transplant in Dubai. You will be amazed by the results of this female hair loss treatment.
