The Most Common Cause of Hair Loss in Women

Since women's bodies work differently than men's, the most common cause of hair loss for the s*x is not genetic. The most common cause is actually hormonal. Changes in hormone levels, such as those seen with menopause, pregnancy, thyroid conditions, or the stopping or starting of birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy, can cause temporary hair loss in women.

When certain hormones, like oestrogen or testosterone, are produced more rapidly or their production is reduced, certain changes in the body can lead to hair loss. For example, after a woman gives birth to a baby her hormones may enter a resting phase while the body returns to its pre-pregnancy state. During this period, usually three to six months after delivery, women may notice an increase in hair loss. Fortunately, the hair loss is usually temporary and tends to subside in about twelve months.

Other Causes of Hair Loss

If hormonal changes are not responsible for your hair loss, the condition could be brought on by harmful hair care techniques, stress, illness, an unhealthy diet or hereditary.

Since most women spend a lot of time styling their hair, this over-handling can be a common cause for hair loss. Colouring, bleaching and perming your hair can cause damage to the hair follicles and cause hair loss. So can aggressive brushing, shampooing and the wearing of tight hairstyles like braids or ponytails.

Stress and some illnesses such as anemia and infections, can also lead to hair loss. Stress can lead to an increase in hormones circulating through the blood stream and can also cause problems with the body systems responsible for hair growth. Infection can disrupt the normal operations of the body's system and cause problems with normal hair growth and patterns.

Another common cause of hair loss in women is poor diet. Women who follow a strict diet and lose weight too rapidly can experience temporary hair loss, as can women who do not get enough protein, zinc, fatty acids, or vitamins through food consumption.

Finally, women can experience hair loss for the same reason as men. Female pattern baldness is a hereditary condition that results from a reaction to testosterone in the body. When the testosterone is converted into DHT the compound attacks hair follicles and causes baldness. Although this condition is very similar to male pattern baldness, the hair loss is usually less severe.

Eliminating the Common Causes of Hair Loss

Since most of the causes of hair loss in women are temporary there are things that you can to do eliminate the condition. Start by following a healthy diet plan to ensure that your body is getting the proper nutrients it needs to promote optimal hair growth. To further reduce the chances of hair loss, add an exercise program to your plan. Exercising will improve the delivery of the proper nutrients to your hair follicles and reduce the effects of stress on your body.

In order to reduce the occurrence of hair loss you can also take steps to decrease the amount of damage that you do to your hair during normal styling. If you colour or chemically treat your hair, consider stopping the practice before permanent damage is done. You can also try using a gentler shampoo, gentler hair care techniques and the avoidance of tight hairstyles.

Although you cannot eliminate illness, some hormonal changes, or genetics, you can take extra precautions to help protect hair growth. If you are sick, talk to your doctor about ways you can prevent hair loss. If you are pregnant, going through menopause, or experiencing other hormonal changes, be gentle with your hair, use a shampoo formulated for increasing body and volume, eat foods rich in soy to help protect hormonal health.

Although the causes of hair loss in women are many, they are usually temporary and easier to control once you understand them and your options.

Answer 3

For me what works best is natural products which are chemical free and home remedies. For sure they don't have secondary effects. Get to the root of the problem as to why you might be getting bald. Check your diet. Internal nutrition reflects your skin and hair. lack of proteins and vitamin B6, C and E  always aggravates hair fall. Plus the deodorant you use should be free of chemicals because many deodorants contain led and other chemicals which close the pores and the body is not able to get rid of toxins and these toxins in the system create acidity and weaken hair follicles .

Drink Healthy Water -  clean, chemical free water at all times. Spring water is recommended because it has flowed freely against the earth´s electromagnetic field, thus restoring all the essential energy fields that are required to fully nourish the body.

Manage Stress - Take the time for daily exercise and relaxation of the body and mind. Practising meditation or taking a few minutes for silent contemplation is highly recommended. Ziravie® offers meditation and stress management CD´s that include simple, practical and effective techniques.

Reduce Toxicity -- Aim to minimize the intake of toxins, through consuming clean organically grown food, and avoiding unnecessary medications, strong chemical cosmetics, excessive alcohol and intoxicants.

Taking charge of your lifestyle and nutrition, is an essential step towards restoring equilibrium. Think healthy, be healthy and live healthy. There is no such thing as a miracle product.
