Types And Causes Of Female Hair Loss

Unfortunately, Ladies, for female hair loss I can't speak from first hand experience, since I am a male, but I have done a lot of research on the causes of Female hair loss and what is available that I feel can be trusted.

Below Are the most common causes of hair loss in Women: therefore, if you find yourself screaming… Help! I Don’t Have to Tear My Hair Out Anymore – It’s All Over My Sink! Just remember, we lose hair everyday, 100-150 strands actually, simply from brushing and manipulating. If you have long hair, this can look like a lot, but, considering the amount of hair on a head, it’s a tiny amount.

If hair is coming out in clumps, or you notice circular patches of balding spots, however, there is definitely a problem, and treatment will be based upon the specific cause of female hair loss. The following causes should be investigated if you are experiencing more-than-normal hair loss:

  • Diet: An unbalanced diet, especially one without enough protein, can cause temporary hair loss. Women who are anemic often experience loss.
  • Menopause: Due to the change in hormones during this period, hair loss can escalate, and, unfortunately, this can be permanent.
  • Frequent Shampooing: Shampoos contain a lathering ingredient called surfactant. This can be irritating to the scalp and cause itching and scratching, thus increased hair loss.
  • Improper Care: If you manipulate your hair too much, color and treat too much, blow dry and heat with curling irons and hot rollers too much, you will see increased hair loss. You need only to look at your bathroom floor, sink and countertops to notice this. Slow down!
  • Psychological/Physiological Stress: Increased hair loss can occur with pregnancies, major surgery, or a major life event, such as a death or divorce. These causes are temporary and hair growth will return to normal eventually.
  • Heredity: Heredity plays a part and comes from both sides of the family. Hair loss through heredity thinning (Androgenetic Alopecia) accounts for 95% of hair loss cases in women.
  • Other Health Conditions: Thyroid problems, lupus, and diabetes can accelerate hair loss. Obviously, these need to be diagnosed by a physician.
  • Alopecia Areata: This is an autoimmune condition characterized by circular patches of baldness. Basically, the body is attacking the hair follicles. Cortisone shots in the affected areas are required, and the earlier the better.

Take heart. There are a lot of research going on which may soon resolve most of the causes of female hair loss. However, two of the most effective products I have personally found are products called Provillus and HLCC HairScripts Complete.

When I evaluate their content I find they have many ingredients that actually work to block DHT and it have these ingredients in quantities that really matter. Both are oral supplements, which works to block DHT for both Male and Female.

DHT is a form of testosterone that is responsible for 95 percent of female hair loss. It also works to stimulate the scalp and bring dead follicles back to life. You can use Provillus as a preventive tool, starting the program before hair loss becomes severe, or you can use it after DHT has already begun to take hold of your hair and scalp.
