Causes behind Female Hair Loss

Androgenetic alopecia is the common type of hair loss which is seen in women. The baldness isalso known as female pattern alopecia in which hair begins thinning predominantly over the top and sides of the head. Almost one-third of the susceptible women are affected by this hair loss problem. However, it is mainly noticed after the menopause. Losing 100-125 strands of hair per day is considered normal but when hair does not regrow or daily hair shed limit of 125 strands is exceeded, then it is termed as true hair loss.

Hair loss occurs when something creates hindrance for hair to grow. The medical term for this condition is anagen effluvium. Some of the most common causes of hair loss include immune system not functioning properly, hairstyles that pull on your hair, compulsion to pull out one’s own hair, hereditary hair loss, some harmful drugs or treatments and harsh hair care products.

• Hair pulled too tightly – You can suffer hair loss when you pull your hair too tightly over time by putting it in cornrows, tight ponytails or hair extensions. These can cause serious damage to the hair follicles.
