Not only men but also women have been worried about hair loss and thinning that affects their self-esteem and confidence. Some are unable to have a hair style as desired, some need to hide the thinning hair, and some look old for their age because of thinning hair. That's why hair transplantation is becoming increasingly popular method for hair restoration. As the beauty, appearance, personality, and self-care are the women’s top priority, the beautiful dense hair plays a significant role. ...Let's get to know women's hair problems: their causes and differences from men’s.
Even though hair falls out every day as part of the body's natural renewal cycle, excessive hair shedding can be deemed a sign of hair loss, and hair and scalp problems. Typical abnormalities are your hair has stopped growing and is thinning, patchy hair loss, and losing more than 100 strands of hair a day.
Hair loss problem in women can be caused by living behavior, diseases and illness including the natural changes that come with aging, as the following example:
Hereditary hair loss and thinning inherited from one generation to another can be found in both men and women.
Obviously thinning hair in women happens gradually due to aging. This is because of the reduced blood flow in the scalp. The regenerative ability of hair follicles deteriorates, causing the hair roots to shrink and eventually stop growing hair.
Severe stress can affect and disrupt the function and cyclic regulation of the hair follicles, resulting in massive hair loss in just a few months. In some cases, the stress or anxiety leads to Trichotillomania (hair-pulling disorder) which directly damages the hair and scalp.
People who are losing weight, or doing fasting, or those with an eating disorder like anorexia or bulimia, will not get enough nutrients. Consequently, they may experience hair loss due to lack of protein or essential vitamins, which makes the hair roots weak.
Dyeing, bleaching, curling, and straightening your hair use chemicals and heat that cause hair damage. Too often practices without nourishment make your hair more fragile and falls out easily.
- Diseases, illness and injuries
Hair loss can be seen in patients with cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney disease, including those who have suffered physical injuries from accidents or surgeries.
Hormonal changes during pregnancy, labour and postpartum period may result in hair loss. However, the hair will return to normal within 6-12 months.
Patterns of hair loss and thinning hair in women are quite different from men. There are two distinctive features: hair density reduction in the middle of the head; and a receding hairline resulting in widen forehead. The main cause of such conditions is heredity or inheritance.
The female thinning hair in the middle of the head is caused by the imbalance between the hair falling out and the regrown hair. Whenever the number of the strands of hair regrown is less than those falling out, the hair is getting thinner and thinner unavoidably. Generally the hair thinning begins along the hair parting line, and develops gradually until the scalp is clearly visible. However, women are more likely to experience thinning hair than going bald like men do. This is because men have more testosterone than women. The enzyme 5-alpha-reductase (5-AR) converts testosterone into DHT (dihydrotestosterone) which shrinks the hair follicles as well as shorten the hair growth cycle.
A lot of women have been experiencing the problem of the frontal hairline receding that causes the forehead looks larger. Some experience the hairline that gradually moves backward (recedes) and forms an "M" shape. Accordingly the concerns, anxiety, and loss of confidence arise.
