Common Reasons Women Lose Their Hair

For women, hair is more than just hair. It is a part of self-confidence. When it comes to a woman’s femininity, hair plays an important role for most people. It helps make women feel beautiful and young. As one ages, hair loss might take a toll on the self-confidence hair provides. It can be devastating, to say the least. Let’s take a look at a few types of female hair loss.   

Trichotillomania

Playing or twirling with your hair is a habit that a lot of women exhibit. This habit can easily turn into Trichotillomania, a serious hair loss condition. It is the act of pulling out hair and often can be done without even realizing it. This hair loss type is self-inflicted and often is used as a stress or anxiety reliever.

Traction Alopecia

Do you wear your hair in a tight ponytail for hours on end? You could eventually end up with Traction Alopecia. Pulling hair over time with different kinds of tight hair-styles lead to the hair follicles experiencing trauma and they stop growing all together.

Alopecia Areata

Alopecia Areata is a hair loss condition that begins with one’s immune system. This occurs when one experiences an inflammatory reaction, causing one’s own immune system to disturb the roots of the hair follicles, causing hair loss.

Anagen Effluvium

Have you or a loved one experienced hair loss from chemotherapy? Chances are you are experiencing Anagen Effluvium, hair loss occurring when cellular-level mitotic or metabolic activity impairs the hair follicles. Therefore, chemotherapy targets the hair follicle cells while attempting to cease the rapidly dividing, cancer cells.

Androgenetic Alopecia

Women with this diagnosis experience thinning all around their scalp. It is caused due to the existence of androgens, which are male hormones. Hormones are unstable, causing rapid hair loss. Causes of rapid levels of androgen include birth control pills, pregnancy and menopause.
