Hair Lost and Found
Hair loss in women is actually more common than you may think, and can be caused by many common bodily occurrences. The loss of hair occurs when the phases of hair growth are triggered to change, and become unbalanced.
The two phases of hair growth are anagen and telogen; a short anagen phase or an increase in the amount of hair follicles that enter the telogen phase cause up to 70% of this telogen-phase hair to fall out after the trigger occurs. This is known as stress alopecia, or telogen effiuvium. Some triggers can occur due to drastic hormone level changes in the female body. In times when birth control or hormone replacement therapy is ceased, hormone levels can drop drastically. The loss of pregnancy hormones post pregnancy can also cause hair loss.
The many different causes of hair loss
Diet is a major issue in hair loss. In fact, severe dieting (like anorexia or bulimia), can cause the body to lose hormones. Acute traumas (physical and psychological), high fevers, and certain diseases/infections, such as Diabetes, Lupus, Ringwom, Syphillis, Pernicious Anemia, Addison's, and rheumatoid arthritis contribute to hair loss in women as well. Other hormone-affecting medications such as Retinoids, blood pressure medications, anti-depressants, and NSAIDS (such as Ibuprofen) can also cause hair follicle amounts to fall out. Chemotherapy during cancer treatment is a known cause of hair loss for men and women.
Even beauty regimens such as pulling hair too tightly (into braids or ponys), hair extensions/tracks can cause what is known as traction alopecia. One known autoimmune disease, alopecia areata, causes antibodies to attack hair follicles, causing patchy hair loss. New scientific discoveries have found that thyroid conditions in women can cause thinning hair.
Luckily, there are cures that work!
The good news is, there is hope for thinning hain in women. Products such as corticoid steroids suppress the immune system to cease hair follicle fall out. Other medications such as Monoxidil 5% (Rogaine), Anthralin can remedy hair loss, but run the risk of not working, and stop working when the drug use ends. Sultasalazin treats the autoimmune disorder of alopecia areata, and topical sensitizers stimulate allergic reaction (like itching and scaling) while stimulating hair follicles. Adding heart-healthy omega 3s found in fish and flaxseed, have been found to strengthen and enhance hair follicles. Along the lines of natural solutions, Provillus, a new FDA-approved two part formula specifically designed to meet the needs of female hair loss, prevents hair loss while stimulating hair growth by using vitamins and minerals the body already needs!
