Cause of Female Hairloss

Help for the Female Follicularly-Challenged

Donna Hammill knew the feeling. She could see the evidence was growing.

"It was readily apparent. Caught in my hair brush. Stuck in the shower drain. Drifting onto my shoulders. Was it my imagination or was I losing more and more hair?"

I asked, "What was going on? More specifically what's cause of female hairloss?"

"Surprisingly, Hammill went on, "I found out a lot of women experience a little thinning on top starting around 40."

"On the plus side many start treatment sooner and pursue it more thoroughly than men do," Donna added.

"Still if you ask any hair loss expert and they'll trot out the usual suspects when looking for causes in women."

Heredity is the most common cause of thinning hair and hair loss in women. The technical term for it is "androgenetic alopecia" as if that makes you feel any better.

Then too declining estrogen levels can cause your hair follicles to shrink and start to produce shorter, thinner, more fragile looking hairs. You see estrogen suppresses male-hormone production. But a decline in estrogen can mean less hair too.

Also hair loss is but one unpleasant change to our bodies that comes of aging.

For sure aggressive styling techniques don't help. Neither do perms, bleach, or the other coloring treatments you may have subjected it to.

None of which is very comforting if you've looked at your hair as one of your best features.

There are several solutions. Most of which involve demanding each precious strand of hair to do double duty or more.

Another tactic is hair weaves that reinforce the ranks of your own hair with synthetic hair.

Then even though it's heavily marketed as a solution for the cause of hairloss in men, Rogaine isn't just for men. But it also isn't cheap, what with treatments running $50 a month or more. FOREVER!

Doctors also prescribe Propecia to prevent hair loss.

While wigs, scarves, an other head coverings can help temporarily.

Anyway, that gives you an idea as to the cause of female hairloss and some things you can do to combat it.
