Women’s Hair Loss Causes

by admin

Although hair loss is much more common in men that it still occurs in women, and in fact hair loss in women can be a lot more of a concern due to the stigma that is attached to female baldness.

There are a number of proposed causes of why women start to lose hair, stress and poor nutrition being considered major reasons for poor hair health and hence reduction.

However perhaps the most common time for women to lose their hair is when they are going through menopause. When the body goes through menopause there is a drop in estrogen and this is usually accompanied by an increase testosterone. It is commonly considered that this increase in testosterone is what is responsible for excess DHT production.

DHT is a derivative of testosterone and the molecule attaches itself to hair follicles and causes them to grow thinner and eventually to drop out altogether. The more DHT that is produced the more hair will be lost and the process continues until vast amounts of hair gone.

Some women, but few, also lose hair when going through pregnancy due to hormones level unbalance leading to testosterone and DHT overproduction also.

There are a number of treatment options for hair loss that can be beneficial, however as with everything health related, it is always good to take a holistic approach. Therefore I recommend you talk to a naturalist as they tend to have a much better understanding of health than doctors, who simply write prescriptions for toxin drugs to make large pharmaceutical companies rich.

Once you have considered you diet, stress and overall wellness, you may want to consider Provillus for women also, which is a natural remedy that is FDA approved and targets the underlying cause of hair loss, which is excess DHT production.
