Cause of Hair Loss in Women

Telogen effluvium

Three to six months after delivering a child, several women will notice a huge degree of hair loss as the hair cycles into a resting phase because of the physiologic offense of pregnancy. This can also arise quite commonly in women who are on crash diets and lose a great deal of weight over a short period of time, or after acute illnesses, such as an acute infection. Anything that puts stress on the body can cause the body to recycle its hair into a resting phase and cause acute hair shedding, called telogen effluvium. Because the body is able to compensate for this insult, frequently three to nine months after the insult, the hair will start to regrow, and frequently in most cases between 90 and 100 percent of hair regrowth can be probable.

Alopecia Areata

The third most widespread reason that we see in clinical practice is a situation called alopecia areata. Areata is Latin for "round" or "circumscribed", which means that people rapidly see bald spots here or there, or little, small short hairs that are broken off. Sometimes it's noticed by the person cutting their hair. It's frequently linked to some tense event, and it's believed to be some type of immunologic imbalance. The immune system goes after its own hair for few unknown reason, causing them to go into the resting phase and slow down their growth so they break off or come out. A lot of times, it regrows by itself. In verity, most people who have it don't come to the physician. It just goes away by itself. But a tiny number of people have very harsh problems. Some people will lose all the hair on their head, and some people lose all the hair on their body. It's quite a widespread situation.

Sebum Contamination

When Sebum builds up in the follicles, it worsens the bulb of the hair. Gradually, the bulbs get lesser, less round, and because of this, your hair is not rooted as fine and the hair strand falls out. Then another hair thread grows from the follicle, but this hair strand is thinner and weaker than the last one. Because of Sebum cloggage and the fact that the dying follicle can not provide nutrients, the novel hair strand must fight its way through the follicle, causing the hair strand to be thinner and the bulb slighter. This process repeats itself, with the next hair getting thinner and the bulb smaller each time the old one falls out. This is why most men and women experience thinning hair as they are losing it. The unlucky ending is a hair follicle so spoiled from Sebum, bacteria, and DHT production that the follicle dies.
