Causes of Hair Loss in Women

Unfortunately, hair loss is a common problem that affects approximately 40 percent of women by the time they reach 40 years of age, as noted by the American Academy of Dermatology. Although it’s common, it doesn’t make women any less self-conscious about the issue. If you’re one of these women who suffer from hair loss, there is hope, and I’m here to assist. 


It’s important to understand why the problem could occur, how to approach the situation from a medical standpoint, and ways to cope with the issue while your hair regrows, if that’s possible. The hair loss solution may include medical treatment, but you can use holistic solutions like lace wigs and natural solutions, such as certain foods to eat, to assist in you keeping your confidence in the meantime. We will assist you any way possible at www.kafunehair.com


Losing your hair doesn’t have to mean your self-confidence when regaining hair is as simple as contacting us. 

Speaking from experience

...with my clients, hair loss, also known as alopecia, varies since there are different forms of alopecia and different ways it can affect you.


Hair may thin gradually on the top of your head. This tends to occur with age and may begin at your hairline.


In some cases, the hair loss occurs in patches. These circular spots are usually around coin sized. It’s possible for your skin to itch or feel painful before you lose your hair in those areas.


Sometimes, your hair may loosen as a result of emotional or physical trauma. As one of the different forms of alopecia, your hair may fallout when you wash or comb it with this kind of hair loss. Generally, if you experience this type of alopecia, your hair will thin rather than fall out in patches.

In individuals who have hair loss as a result of chemotherapy, hair loss may occur throughout the body, not just on the person’s head. Once treatment stops, your hair typically grows back.


If you have scaly patches on your scalp along with hair loss in those scaly areas, you may have ringworm. Your hair may break. You might also notice oozing, swelling, or redness where the patches are.

I've seen many women who've had hair loss, and the cause varies greatly. In fact, several types of hair loss can occur in women for a number of reasons. Some relate to hormones while other causes include diseases, medications, and heredity. 

Medications


Chemotherapy is the most well-known medication to cause hair loss. However, they’re certainly not the only drugs that cause hair loss. 


Immunosuppressants are one variety of medications known to cause hair loss. One specific example is methotrexate. Drugs in this category treat patients who have immune system disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus. When these medications target the immune system cells, they can affect rapidly growing cells like your hair follicles.


Some acne medications like isotretinoin might cause hair loss, hair shedding, or hair thinning. Acne drugs can damage the hair follicles or cause an overabundance of vitamin A in your system. It may also cause nutrient deficiencies or affect your hormone levels, both of which can lead to alopecia.

Weight loss medications have the potential to cause, or exasperate previous, nutrient deficiencies that trigger hair loss.

Other examples of drugs that can contribute to hair loss include the following:


Anti-hypertensives

Anticoagulants

Cholesterol-lowering medication

Antifungal

Antibiotics

Mood stabilizers

Hormone replacement therapy

Corticosteroids

Medical Conditions That Cause Alopecia in Women


Different forms of alopecia may stem from medical conditions. For example, if you have lupus, you may lose your hair as a result of damage to the follicles or the hair follicles going into “resting” phases during flare-ups.


Both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism can cause your hair to thin or fall out. Hypothyroidism means that you don’t produce enough hormones. Therefore, your metabolism slows, and it can affect your hair follicles. Hyperthyroidism, on the other hand, occurs when you produce too many thyroid hormones, which alters the growth and resting phases that your hair goes through.

You could experience hair loss as a result of a vitamin deficiency. If you’re anemic, you’re at risk for hair loss as well. Your body needs protein and various vitamins to grow. Without them, your hair may not regenerate like it should.


Polycystic ovary syndrome is a hormonal disorder that causes your ovaries to develop fluid follicles – small fluid collections. With this condition, your ovaries don’t release an egg as they should. You may lose hair as the result of the hormonal imbalance.


Psoriasis may affect your scalp. The hair loss occurs where the psoriasis is.


If you develop ringworm or another infection affecting your scalp, your hair may thin.

Other Causes of Hair Loss in Women


You may experience hair loss as a result of stress. Hormone changes may cause hair loss, too. For instance, it’s possible to experience hair loss or hair thinning when you’re pregnant or after menopause. Those who have hormonal imbalances may notice their hair thinning.


How you care for and style your hair affects the amount of hair you have. Overcoloring or perming your hair can cause hair loss. Some women who wear their hair in tight hairstyles, such as cornrows, may notice hair loss.
