The following are the 7 MAIN causes for Hair Loss in women along with their symptoms so
that you can easily identify them.
I also go into detail at the end of this video on exactly how you can treat them and grow
back your hair so listen carefully...
1. Hereditary hair loss
The most common cause of hair loss in women is what we call Androgenetic Alopecia, also
called Female Pattern Hair Loss (FPHL).
This is an inherited condition in which you have certain genes which makes your hair susceptible
to hair loss when exposed to the normal, small amount of androgens (male hormones) which
all women have.
This gene can be inherited from either your mother or father's side of the family, though
you're more likely to have it if both of your parents had hair loss.
Bear in mind however, that if your mom and dad did not suffer from hair loss, it does
NOT mean that you won't get it.
Understand that genetics can actually SKIP generations.
They can skip 1, 2 or probably 3 generations in certain cases so if your grandmother or
great grandmother of father had it, there's ALWAYS a possibility that YOU might get it
too!
Androgenic alopecia affects 40% of women at some point in their lifetime.
The symptoms: It normally starts over the top of your scalp, or starts thinning behind
your bangs.
2. Telogen effluvium
Telogen effluvium is a phenomenon that occurs due to emotional or physiological stress such
as eating disorders, fever, childbirth, chronic illness, major surgery, anemia, severe emotional
disorders, crash diets, hypothyroidism, and drugs.
And this is one of the root causes of hair loss for women these days, mainly due to their
lifestyle.
The symptoms: Women with telogen effluvium typically notice hair loss 6 weeks to 3 months
after a stressful event.
At its peak, you may lose HANDFULS of hair.
Look for small "club-shaped" bulbs on the fallen hair's roots.
The bulbs mean the hair has gone through a complete cycle of growth, suggesting that
the cycle may have sped up due to stress.
3. Alopecia areata (AA) is a condition in which hair is lost from some or all areas
of the body, usually from the scalp.
Because it causes bald spots on the scalp, especially in the first stages, it is sometimes
called spot baldness.
The symptom: This is the easiest to identify. Which is when you see large chunks of bald
spots on your head.
That's alopecia areata
4. Skin Conditions on your Scalp
An unhealthy scalp can cause inflammation that makes it problematic for hair to grow.
Skin conditions that lead to hair loss include dandruff, psoriasis, and fungal infections
such as ringworm.
The symptoms: Dandruff causes the scalp to shed its skin, so you'll notice greasy, yellowish
scales on your shoulders or in your hair.
It may be the result of yeast called Malassezia, hormonal changes, or excess oil in the skin.
5. Over-Styling
Too much shampooing, styling, and dyeing can harm your tresses. Heat and chemicals weaken
the hair, causing it to break and fall out.
Often, it's a combination of treatments ó keratin, coloring, and blow-drying, for instance
ó that does the damage.
The symptoms: If the fallout is occurring from external damage caused by styling, it
will simply break, and you won't see those club-shaped telogen bulbs at the ends.
6. . Hypothyroidism
Millions of people, most of them women, suffer from thyroid disease. When your body produces
too little thyroid hormone; the hormone responsible for metabolism, heart rate, and mood, you
are said to have hypothyroidism, or an UNDERACTIVE thyroid.
If your body makes too much of the hormone, youíre said to have hyperthyroidism, or an
OVERACTIVE thyroid.
Thyroid hormone is responsible for everything from your basal metabolic rate ó the rate
at which your body uses oxygen and energy to function ó to the growth of your hair,
skin, and nails.
But when you donít have the right amount, you may notice changes in bodily functions.
The symptoms: Hypothyroidism (too little hormone) may cause a host of symptoms, including unexplained
weight gain, fatigue, constipation, depression, and difficulty concentrating.
Hair, nails, and skin may become more brittle and break more easily. Itís more common in
women, especially over the age of 50.
7. Lupus
Lupus is a chronic auto-immune disease in which the bodyís own immune system attacks
healthy tissues.
The condition mostly affects women during their childbearing years.
The symptoms: Lupus often causes extreme fatigue, headaches, oral ulcers, and painful, swollen
joints. Many people develop a butterfly-shaped rash across the bridge of the nose and become
more sensitive to the sun.
Other symptoms include fever; swelling in the feet and hands and around the eyes; chest
pain; and anemia.
Many people also experience hair loss, which may be mild and occur while shampooing or
brushing your hairóor it may be more severe, coming out in patches and accompanied by a
rash on the scalp.
Because these symptoms occur in many other conditions, lupus is often called the great
imitator.
Symptoms: Joints and other tissues shows signs of inflammation, such as heat, pain, swelling,
and redness.
A blood test to measure levels of anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA) may also indicate lupus.
Now whatever the cause of your hair loss... Whether its due to genetics, stress, pregnancy,
lifestyle habits, diabetes, unbalanced diet, medications from drugs, hair treatments, fungal
