I know the obvious thyroid and lupus...any one had any other explainations?Has any female had unexplained hair loss and figured out what what causing it?
I started having hair loss in January and I had no idea why. I went to my dermatologist and was diagnosed with telogen effluvium which, in short, is when there it a shock or persistant stressor that causes your hair follicules to go into the resting stage so you notice a huge shed. The bright side: it's a diffuse thinning so there are no bald spots but it will look thinner in some places than others, you won't go completely bald ((lose about 70% of your hair)) and even though that sounds like a lot, no one will notice but you. Also, it is completely reversable and not permanent. There are many causes of TE including: hormonal changes ((birth, starting or stopping birth control..mine was from stopping the pill)), stress, excessive weight loss, aftermath of a surgery or dental procedure, along with many other reasons. The hair loss usually starts about 3 months after the cause is removed. Once whatever is causing the fall out is present is out of your system, the hair will stop falling out and start the regrowth process.
My suggestions:
1. See a dermatologist to get the hair loss checked out. It could be something completely different as there are many types of hair loss.
2. Take a high does of Biotin ((5000 mcg)). Depending on the type of hair loss, this is said to kick start hair regrowth. It could take a while to work but it will help your hair grow back healthy. This is found in most vitamin sections and is pretty inexpensive.
3. Until the hair grows back, look for a line called Nioxin ((found in speciality stores such as Sally's, Trade Secret or Master Cuts or it can be ordered offline)). It won't make your hair regrow and it won't make it thicker but it will make you and others perceive it's thicker ((9/10 can see a difference)). The stuff in the stores will only make it worse
I hope this helped. This is the only kind of unexplained hair loss I can think of. Good luck!Has any female had unexplained hair loss and figured out what what causing it?
