Is it possible for women to suffer from male pattern baldness?What causes hair loss in women?
Stress can cause hair loss in women. I know of a lady who lost her her hair following a nervous breakdown. Poor diet can also contribute.What causes hair loss in women?
Stress, hormonal imbalance, and lack of vitamins. Consult your doctor.
As the others are saying stress which causes hormone imbalance and then thinning of the hair.

Perhaps your source of stress is due to the pill
You may wish to do the on line hormone tests at www.hormoneprofile.com or www.johnleemd.com
If as I suspect they recommend you obtain hormones please have a saliva test done see www.npis.info or www.salivatest.com. A saliva test will check out active hormones something that blood tests do not.
If a hormone is suggested by the saliva test please take the dose suggested. Size 10 shoes are not twice as good if you have size 5 feet.
The WHO (World Health Organisation) uses saliva tests.
A transcript of a John Lee talk http://www.keepsmilin.com/transcriptdrle
I have transcribed John Lee's December 2002 %26amp; %26amp;June 2003 talks
http://uk.geocities.com/willim_walker@bt
Any of these talks explain why for active hormone levels a blood test is worthless. Blood tests find hormones, but they are the ones on their way out of the body. They are not the active hormones.
Search the web for ';natural progesterone hair '; and you will find several pages
e.g.
http://www.nhmeuro.net/acatalog/med_faq.
The most common cause of hair loss is low thyroid function, which is common among menopausal women. Other causes include, but are not limited to the following: changes in hormone levels (a significant decrease or increase), increased testosterone and other androgenic hormones, a change in the balance between estrogen and androgenic hormones, increased stress (physical or emotional), and heredity. Any time sudden hair loss is experienced, one must consider events which took place up to three months prior to the hair loss, as factors affecting hair loss can take up to three months to have an effect. Subsequently, any treatments for hair loss should be given at least three months to have noticeable effects.
This mentions thyroid but I progesterone is the first hormone for a woman to take. This is why it is important that a saliva test is done to confirm the requirement for progesterone or any other hormones.
There is a list of doctors at www.npis.info who are aware of the benefits of natural progesterone they may be more helpful than your GP. Maybe you are about to educate your GP before using the hormones.
In countries other than the UK there are doctors knowledgeable about natural progesterone and other hormones
Natural progesterone means natural to humans i.e. identical to that produced by the human body.
For a good explanation of how vital natural progesterone is to humans see
http://www.hormoneprofile.com/howhormone
and other pages on this site
Wild yam is that Wild Yam the body will not convert it to progesterone. Also do not take fake/synthetic progesterone/progestins manufactured by the drug companies they will be of NO benefit.
After having done a saliva test any progesterone you buy must be natural progesterone USP. USP means United States Pharmacopoeia.

Myths Vs. Facts
Myth: Hair loss is inherited from your father Fact: Both parent's genes are a factor. Androgenetic aplopecia is genetically-linked hair thinning.
Myth: Female pattern hair loss causes abnormal bleeding. Fact: Menstruation is not affected. Hair loss typically begins between the ages of 12 and 40.
Myth: Extensive hormonal evaluation is required. Fact: Hormonal evaluation is only required if the patient is also experiencing irregular periods, infertility, hirsutism, cystic acne, virilization, or glactorrhea. Androgenetic aplopecia usually doesn't cause menstrual issues or interfere with pregnancy or endocrine function.
Myth: Teasing, using hair color, other products, or frequently washing hair increases hair loss. Fact: Normal hair care doesn't affect hair loss. The only drug approved for promoting hair growth in women is Minoxidil.
yes this is normal if youi have the following syptoms
(1)this can be due to been on alot of medication.

Does anyone know what can cause sudden hair loss in women (age 41)? it's coming out 2-3x more than normal. ?
I live in a tropical zone most of the time and recently returned to Midwest USA. Within a week, my hair was falling out a lot. I am getting better nutrition here (am a 20+ year vegetarian but here eating more dairy - organic yogurt, etc. - than usual, plus tons of spinach, etc., so with my nutrition better, I wouldn't think it's vitamin-based). I have been going through all factors related that I changed at the same time (switched shampoo, started a new skin cleanser), stopping their use for 2 weeks to see if there is a change for the better. So far, nothing.
I would appreciate any advice, suggestions, similar stories. Thanks so much!Does anyone know what can cause sudden hair loss in women (age 41)? it's coming out 2-3x more than normal. ?
See your Doctor asap. I can be as simple as a pimple to a very serious thyroid problem. It's not normal for you to lose that much in such a short period of time. Does anyone know what can cause sudden hair loss in women (age 41)? it's coming out 2-3x more than normal. ?
I would visit your doctor. It could be any number of things. from your diet, to stress or a combination of factors. the fact you said it started when you came back to the US leads me to believe it isnt a coincidence. something has changed and has caused your hair loss. good luck
For hair loss you can try this remedy. Mix 1 egg, 2.5 tablespoons milk powder and 1 tablespoon wheat germ oil. Massage on the scalp and leave it for 30 minutes. Wash with a mild shampoo.

What could be the cause of loss of hair in a woman?
Most likely the culprit is malnutrition, especially if it's a young woman. Older woman CAN experience hair thinning just like older men, but if it's a young woman, it's probably because she's not eating enough. eye make up
What has caused hair loss in women!?
I didnt realize it but my hair has been falling out. Now it is very obvious. My hair was my alot thicker. Had blood test and it came back normal. My hair is so thin on top I cant maintain my hair style and it falls within mins. You can see my scalp ,I need help. My daughter has it real bad also, and her blood test came back normal, could it be a lack of a vitamin? Please help.?What has caused hair loss in women!?
maybe you have PCOS? it took my drs forever to figure it out What has caused hair loss in women!?
It could be cancer...But the blood tests said Normal. It could be a lack of Vitamins, Get a Vitamin supplement and use it for around a week, If the amount of hair that falls out does not reduce then I would go and see a doctor or skin specialist.
It may also just be in your Gene's for hair to fall out, Do you and your daughter dye your hair alot or wash them alot? If you dye your hair then I would go and consult a hairdresser, They may have some hair strengthening serums/ointments.
If you wash your hair alot of have been using only 1 brand of Shampoo and conditioner then I would stop washing it so much, twice a week is plenty. Also try chaging your shampoo and conditioner, If you are using a cheap and crappy brand then try something a little more expensive. The cheap stuff may contain some NASTY chemicals.
In the mean time, If it is obvious wear a cap or beanie or a head scarf.
Could be many different factors that are causing your hair loss. I think you may be on to something asking about the vitamins because It is important that your body is getting all the nutrients it needs.
You can stop your hair loss with the right treatment. Do not use just any old solution, though. Do some comparing of hair loss products.
I found a site that compares top treatments on the market today, and they have a review of a woman hair loss solution.

Apart from PCOS what could cause unwanted hair growth on face/stomach/breast and loss of head hair in a woman?
I had a blood test and my hormone levels are normal, yet I have those symptoms. My hair on my head is thinning but as fast as I pluck body/face hairs they're coming back within a couple of days and I hate it.
What could be causing it? Has anyone else experienced this and would going on the pill help?Apart from PCOS what could cause unwanted hair growth on face/stomach/breast and loss of head hair in a woman?
Possibly an underactive thyroid. Other than that, it could be an hereditary condition. Ask your doc if your thyroid function was checked as well as your other hormone levels. Also, you could have hormone levels within normal range and still have PCOS. An ultrasound would confirm this.Apart from PCOS what could cause unwanted hair growth on face/stomach/breast and loss of head hair in a woman?
The pill could help , but you would be better going back to the doctors , if you are trying for a baby then going back on the pill will just delay it even longer , Ive pocs myself and the hairs drive me mad as well , I've a pair of tweezers in my hand all the time.
Stress can cause this.

I would highly recommend this easy to follow step-by-step guide with pictures to anyone who is suffering from hair loss right now. But remember this isn't a miracle cure for baldness as you will also need to put in some effort in order to see results.

Anyway, its also a cheaper and effective way of re-growing lost hair compared to those unnatural ways which may involve harsh chemicals that may have side effects.

Why does low thyroid cause hair loss in women?
Why hasn't thyroid replacement treatment stopped hair loss? Any treatment suggestions?Why does low thyroid cause hair loss in women?
It may not have anything to do with low thyroid.We tend to think of it as a guy thing. But some experts believe that dramatically thinning hair--the fallout (literally) from stress, poor nutrition, an underlying medical condition, harsh hair treatments, or heredity, among other causes--is as common in women as it is in men.
Roughly half of all women over age 40 experience excessive hair loss. And one study estimates that it occurs in 75 percent of women over age 65.
Perhaps you've noticed a few extra hairs in the sink after a combing. Or maybe your scalp appears a little more visible when you emerge from the shower. If you fear that your hair may be thinning significantly, read on to learn more about hair loss in women--what causes it, what it looks like, and what you can do about it.
What's Causing My Hair Loss?
The most common type of hair loss from the scalp (as opposed to hair loss all over the body) is androgenetic alopecia (AA), or pattern baldness. When it occurs in men, it's called male-pattern baldness; in women, it's female-pattern baldness. AA accounts for 95 percent of all cases of head-only hair loss and it results when, for reasons science hasn't identified, hair follicles become sensitive to the hormone androgen.
Who Gets It?
AA is hereditary. A history of the condition in men or women on either side of your family (not just your mom's side, as most people believe) increases your risk of developing it and also influences the age at which your hair loss begins, the speed with which it occurs, and its pattern and extent. But a family history isn't always a factor: About 12 percent of people with AA have no trace of it in their family trees.
What Does It Look Like?
Alopecia means baldness. But women with AA rarely go completely bald, as some men do. Most often a woman's hair simply thins gradually and diffusely on the top of or all over her head. In both men and women, AA is permanent and continues with aging.
What Can I Do?
Be sure to consult an expert who can help determine why your hair is thinning so you can treat the problem correctly. To find a physician in your area who specializes in diseases of the skin and hair, check out the American Academy of Dermatology Web site. Click on Find a Dermatologist to search by state, city, area code, zip code, or last name.
In the meantime, however:
Don't Be Afraid to Wash Your Hair
It won't lead to hair loss.
Avoid Brushing or Teasing
Both can lead to hair loss. Use a wide-toothed comb instead.
Try a New 'Do
A style with layers will help your hair look fuller. You can even perm or color your hair; medically, there's no reason not to. Just avoid a weave or any other style that can put prolonged tension on your hair or cause it to break, which can lead to further hair loss.
Am I Losing It?
The truth is, you are--everyone is. Most of us shed 50 to 150 hairs a day. Once a hair is shed, a new hair from the same follicle replaces the lost strand--unless you have AA. AA occurs when the rate of hair shedding exceeds the rate of hair regrowth, or when the new hair shafts that grow in are thinner than the previous ones, making your mane look progressively less thick.
Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow
You can experience temporary hair loss, and unlike androgenetic alopecia, it's not gradual. Here are two for-women-only causes of temporary hair loss.
Giving Birth
During pregnancy, the rise in hormones sends hair into its resting phase, so hair that would naturally fall out doesn't. Several months after delivery, hormones return to normal, and some women experience an increase in hair loss (all over the head, not just at the top). This can last between 1 and 6 months; then, it usually corrects itself.
Starting the Pill
Some women lose hair while taking birth control pills. The reasons: shifting hormone levels (caused by the Pill) and heredity. If this happens to you, talk to your gynecologist about switching to a different Pill or birth control method.
If you've been checked out by the dermatologist and determined to have thyroid-related hair loss, you may have to settle in and be a bit patient. It's likely that for most, the hair loss will slow down, and eventually stop, once hormone levels are stabilized and in the normal range. This may take a few months, however. But rest assured, I've had many thousands of emails from people, and have yet to hear from anyone who lost most of his or her hair, or became bald, due to thyroid disease. But people -- including myself -- have experienced significant loss of hair volume. In my case, I'd guess at one point, I lost almost half my hair. I had long, thick hair, and it got much thinner at various times. But now, with my thyroid fairly regulated, a T4/T3 drug, and use of EPO, it is at about 85-90% of where it used to beI still have short periods when it seems to be shedding a bit more than usual, but they are quite infrequent. (I used to think I was going to able to stuff pillows with all the hair I was losing!)
Look at Other Alternatives
In one study, Dr. Hugh Rushton, a professor at Portsmouth University, also found that 90 percent of women with thinning hair were deficient in iron and the amino acid lysine. Lysine is the most difficult amino acid to get enough of via diet. Lysine helps transport iron, which is the most important element in the body and essential for many metabolic processes. When lysine and iron levels are low, the body probably switches some hair follicles off to increase levels elsewhere. Meat, fish and eggs are the only food sources of lysine. There are also supplements that contain lysine.
Some other natural ways to deal with hair loss include:
Arginine
Cysteine
Green Tea
Polysorbate 80
Progesterone
Saw Palmetto
Trichosaccaride
Vitamin B6 Zinc
Consult a Doctor for a Prescription Treatment
In some cases, your dermatologist may recommend that you try drug treatments. The two popular drugs for hair loss -- Rogaine and Propecia -- both interfere with DHT's ability to destroy hair follicles. Neither drug is safe to use during pregnancy, however, and so they are not as commonly used in women of child-bearing age. Rogaine, the brand name for minoxidil, is available without a prescription. Women typically use a 2% minoxidil solution applied to the scalp twice a day, and men use a 5% solution. Improvements with minoxidil are slow - it may take months to see any improvement, and a year or more for any dramatic change in hair loss and regrowth. To maintain improvements, minoxidil needs to be continued daily. Propecia, the brand name for finasteride, is a prescription drug taken in pill form. It is not to be used by women in child-bearing years because of its ability to cause serious birth defects, but it has been shown to help some women. Propecia does not, however, appear to be any more effective than minoxidil, and like minoxidil, it can take a year to see results, and must be taken for life to maintain regrowth.
Consider Other Options
Ultimately, if thyroid treatment, drugs, and supplements do not resolve your hair loss, and it is a debilitating problem, you may want to consider other options, including:
Hair-transplant surgery. In this treatment, donor hair follicles are taken from an area of your head that is not thinning. Tiny grafts of just a few hair follicles are implanted in your thinning areas. When successful, the transplanted follicles begin to regrow hair in the sparser areas. Several treatments may be necessary, and visible regrowth may take a year. This approach is better for patches of hair loss, rather than general thinning.
A hair weave, which adds artificial hair to existing hair.
Hairpieces and falls (that can be attached under natural hair, or via combs) for additional fullness and styling options, or wigs.
Could You Have Alopecia?

It is not to be used by women in child-bearing years because of its ability to cause serious birth defects, but it has been shown to help some women. Propecia does not, however, appear to be any more effective than minoxidil, and like minoxidil, it can take a year to see results, and must be taken for life to maintain regrowth.
Consider Other Options
Ultimately, if thyroid treatment, drugs, and supplements do not resolve your hair loss, and it is a debilitating problem, you may want to consider other options, including:
Hair-transplant surgery. In this treatment, donor hair follicles are taken from an area of your head that is not thinning. Tiny grafts of just a few hair follicles are implanted in your thinning areas. When successful, the transplanted follicles begin to regrow hair in the sparser areas. Several treatments may be necessary, and visible regrowth may take a year. This approach is better for patches of hair loss, rather than general thinning.
A hair weave, which adds artificial hair to existing hair.
Hairpieces and falls (that can be attached under natural hair, or via combs) for additional fullness and styling options, or wigs.
Could You Have Alopecia?
Hope this helps.
What can cause a young woman in her 20s to experience hair loss when she is not stressing?
Hair loss does not run in the family especially not from ages 21 to 28. Hair has been thinning out since the age of 21 and stress is not an issue.What can cause a young woman in her 20s to experience hair loss when she is not stressing?
nothing but two reasons
one is genetical. you cannot change
other is the environment . bad water,(salt water),over usage of chemicals,shampoo etcWhat can cause a young woman in her 20s to experience hair loss when she is not stressing?
maybe she doesnt eat healthy food which her hair %26amp;body need it .
It could be a vitamin issue, I would consult a nutritionist.
This has happened to me. She should get a blood test done to see if it may be her thyroid or even iron deficiency. Telogen Effluvian is the diagnostic name that encompases such hair loss.
I purchased some nice headbands that expand to cover the whole head so to disguise the patchy hair loss as it happened.
Malnutrition, chemicals or just thinning hair.
She should have her thyroid checked.
Anemia. You may want to consider going to the doctor soon to get bloodwork (including a ferritin test) done, especially considering that each hair you lose will take a long time to grow back. May sound like a simple solution, but it would be worth it to find out from a doctor how to take care of this problem and push it out of your life for good. Good luck.eye make up

Does relaxers cause premature hair loss in a woman under the age of 40? Does glued in weaves cause balding?
check out the link- naomi campbell is bald under her weave- she usually wears long silky weaves that are straight, but here she has no hair underneath. yikes.
http://www.mediatakeout.com/2008/24421-aDoes relaxers cause premature hair loss in a woman under the age of 40? Does glued in weaves cause balding?
Her almost complete loss of hair could be the reason for her hostility and bizarre behavior...
She should be disappointed, but not cruel to others because her hair is almost gone.
Shame... poor thing.

What can cause hair loss in women under 18?
And, if its fixable, how?What can cause hair loss in women under 18?
according to the article i found in http://hairrestorationtalk.com/hair-loss , the most common cause of hair loss in adults, which can also happen in teenagers, is alopecia. other causes are tinea capitis and traction alopecia. depending on the cause, it can be fixable.What can cause hair loss in women under 18?
Hormones. Hypothyroidism. Stress. A blood test will determine thyroid problems, probably hormone fluctuation. A good dermatologist can tell you if its pattern baldness. Even if it is, there is Rogaine for women. Stress in an 18 year old isn't as easily fixed without professional help.
Majority of the time hairloss under the age of 18 is caused from a skin fungus. I would try slesun blue shampoo or you made need to see a dermatologist for a skin scrapping for a more definitive diagnosis. They could give you something like nizoral shampoo.
Poor diet, stress, using a product which does not suit you, chemical treatments like colouring/straightening, etc
You can control it using coconut hair oil.
Eat protein rich foods.

What causes patchy hair loss in women? I have been told stess. That's too general of an answer for me!?
I have had my thyroid checked, numerous blood tests. I have been told that it could be linked to sleep apnea. I've been tested for lupus. My doctor doesn't have any answers... I'm just wondering if she could be missing something. I am 33, I first experienced hair loss after the birth of my second daughter in 2002. I'll get a spot, usually on the right side of my head that starts out about the size of a pencil eraser. They have been as big as an orange! I'm talking smooth baby butt bald! Hair slowly grows back, but another spot will usually appear before the previous one is completely covered by new hair. Right now, I have a spot on the back of my head about the size of a golf ball. I am stressed worrying about my hair falling out. Other than that, I would not say that I am under any more stress than most.What causes patchy hair loss in women? I have been told stess. That's too general of an answer for me!?
stress definitely can cause hair loss. but have you been diagnosed with alopecia? alopecia is just baldness, and alot of women experience alopecia...maybe you should talk to your doctor about alopecia and whether or not your hair loss is a result of that.What causes patchy hair loss in women? I have been told stess. That's too general of an answer for me!?
The fact that the baldness moves could indicate ringworm. And I know that this is REALLY hard to get rid of once you have it. There are some teachers that develop this as a chronic disease because they're exposed to it so incessantly.
Yes, stress can be a major reason, but also a hormonal imbalance causes that as well. I'm experiencing the same thing. You'll have to ask your doctor and see if he can get you on some kind of hormone or if you want to do it naturally, then search the web on'; hormonal imbalance';. It all depends on what your body needs, so I can't just say ';Take this, this, and this and your problems will be cured.'; Your doctor may support you if you want to go natural, and help you figure out what you need to do, but usually doctors just want to put you on some kind of drug. Search all your options and go from there. Talk to people, or you could go to your local health food store and ask them their advice. I hope this helps. Good luck.
cholesterol medication could cause hair to fall out. you didn't say if your are on any meds, but that can cause hair loss.
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune malfunction. This mean your immune system attacks the hair follicles in the patch as if they were ';invaders';. Stress can bring it on, but it is common in families that have eczema, psoriasis, asthma.
Low thyroid function can be associated with it.
During menopause the placenta takes on the production of progesterone and levels rise dramatically. After childbirth there is a sharp fall in progesterone. In an indirect way progesterone can help you make stress hormones, but low progesterone is not usually the cause of alopecia areata - or lots more menopausal ladies would suffer - children also suffer.
Low iron levels have been associated with all forms of hair loss - so it may be worth getting your Ferratin level - iron stores checked.
Regards
Andy
There is a great shift in hormone levels after pregnancy and hair loss is very typical. It would be helpful to know if your doctor had your hormones checked. There is also a condition known as alopecia which has no known cause - they used to say stress, but they do not any longer. The fact that your hair grows back is the interesting (and hopeful) part.
I would definitely get to a dermatologist along the way - they can offer a different point of view.

Do black women realise relaxer causes hair breakage, thinning, scalp irritation, hair loss?
and scalp damage?
If you know this why do you still use relaxer?Do black women realise relaxer causes hair breakage, thinning, scalp irritation, hair loss?
well does it really. the reason why i relax my hair is because i did it once and i have to keep doing it or else my hair would look bad. plus it is easier to maintain straight hairDo black women realise relaxer causes hair breakage, thinning, scalp irritation, hair loss?
Sure,that's why it's called Creamy Crack, LOL!
Seriously, I have relaxed my hair for years and I have no damage, at least none that my hairstylist can see. The reason is that I take care of my hair and scalp, internally with vitamins and plenty of water and externally with the appropriate hair care. Now if you've seen a black woman with hair that's fried, dyed and laid to the side, then she obviously has no idea she looks a hot mess and you should maybe take her to the side and inform her of this. There's no reason relaxers, dyes, weaves, braids or anything else a woman does to her hair should cause catastrophic damage; she just has to have enough pride to make a commitment to take care of it.
Only if you over-process or use the wrong relaxer for your hair type.
Or if you use too much heat and don't take care of your hair properly.
And the main problem is that way too many black girls/women do not know how to take care of their hair. They over-process and/or over-straigten their hair, use WAY too much heat, use too many drying chemicals and DYES, and do not know how to moisturize and protect their hair properly.
Dats only if u don't treat it right, and stop gangin up on Black people.
I agree with the girl up there^Kristi Hates Humans (....lol...)
DONT WHITE PEOPLE KNOW THAT
TAN CAUSES SKIN CANCER
And Lionel I am a proud BLACK woman who has natural hair, but uh, dont ever say blacks wanna be like whites coz in reality people who notice colour r very very sad and lonely ppl. We r human just liike anyone else
Yet my hair still grows in great volumes.
and I have been relaxing my hair since i was 4.
well my mum has been relaxing my hair since i was 4.
Ive never had a bad exp with relaxing my hair cz my ma knows whats she is doing....
I think natural hair is beautiful. :)
Relaxing etc is weak. Do not try to fit into these small narrow boxes of beauty. Do not try to fit in.
@Leonel--- What do you mean? Who are you talking too?
Natural Bi racial mulatto hair is beautiful. Loose curls. Gorgeous. Straight hair is over rated.
Of course....I'm totally natural though. My own hair is well pass my shoulders.
Leonel---you have completely lost your mind. I would NEVER want to be white! Lol.
I'd rather have my ';nappy'; hair, then be a white person anyday!!
Sorry, I had to be honest..
LEONEL IS A JEALOUS WHITE WOMAN!! LOL.
IT'S SO OBVIOUS..
Because the women secretly love features they lack, why else do you think their beautiful females have different features than the majority of them and use weaves, tracks, extensions, and etc..?
Some do and some don't. And the ones that do probably don't care about the consequences, much like people who know the consequences of smoking and tanning but don't care or doubt that it will happen to them.
girl pleasse where u getting this info, it is a known fact that we can fry, dye, perm, do whatever and we still dont go bald......ever!
What about your curly perms you ever looked into that? Its really a jeri curl for white people. lol
cause none of that crap happened to my hair. and shouldnt you be talking about all women? since mowst of us women do it?
Most don't know all of the damage it can cause. I recently learned about it on youtube,and the internet...
All cultures can use perms,relaxers,dye in their hair. Its not a black thing..its a women thing.
do white women realize sun tanning can cause skin cancer and premature wrinkling.
your right, relaxers are terrible for hair!
What about white women who constantly dye their hair.
I saw Good Hair too. Every black woman should see this movie.
Why can't the reason they use relaxer, etc. is because they simply want to?
And why do you care.
@Leonel aka Hassod. PLEASE GIVE IT A REST!!!!!!!!!!!!
am sorry ur mama lost her hair
Because they'd do anything to look white.
Aquarian Sun - You look like a transvestite.
LMFAO, you blacks LOVE white features, thats why whenever you try to post ';beautiful black people';, you post pictures of a bunch of White/East Indian-looking Somalis and Ethiopians.

Does low estrogen levels in women cause hair loss?
just had a baby and hair is falling out. I know it's normal for a certain period of time but when will it stop!!?Does low estrogen levels in women cause hair loss?
in a few monthes when ur hormones level out again if it persist after ur baby turns 6 monthes or so ask ur doc about itDoes low estrogen levels in women cause hair loss?
Mine fell out more than normal from about 4 months postpartum to about 7 months with both babies. It seemed like a lot of hair in the shower but I still have plenty!
look this helps you
When you are pregnant, your hair goes into a resting phase meaning that it stops its normal shedding and regrowing cycle. After pregnancy, the cycle restarts and it seems like you're losing your hair. Just be patient and everything should go back to normal.

What causes hair loss in women. am scared i may develop a bald head. am slowing losing a bit of my hair.?
Stress can be a major cause of hairloss in females and so you need to identify areas of stress in your life and sort them out.
A good diet and plenty of water to drink will help flush toxins out of your blood stream and aid the body to heal itself.
I would suggest going to your GP and getting some blood tests done as well. This will help to pinpoint anything that may be physically wrong.What causes hair loss in women. am scared i may develop a bald head. am slowing losing a bit of my hair.?
Lots of things can cause hair loss: Vitamin deficiency, too much vitamin A, stress, alopecia, fungal infection, hormone imbalance, hyperthyroidism etc etc etc.
You really should talk to your doctor about it!What causes hair loss in women. am scared i may develop a bald head. am slowing losing a bit of my hair.?
Hi Kaby
I'd suggest going to the following website:
www.regrowth.com
It's a great site and will give you very open, non-commercial information on the reasons for hair loss as well as the treatments available to you.
There is also a seperate site that is pretty good for online purchases of various products:
www.hair2go.com
One of my staff members is suffering from the same problem. As I also did.
Please feel free to drop me an email if you'd like any other detail. I'd be happy to help you wherever I can.
andyblank@yahoo.com
you may even just have a hormone imbalance go and have a blood test done and talk to your doc.
STRESS!!!
Have your Thyroid checked! That was one of the symptoms I had.
* Stress
* It might run in the family
it sounds like alopecia areata. it is a hair losing problem usually from stress. if you are losing almost quarter size on your head. go to a demotologist to make sure. there are remedys for this problem .
Lots of reasons but it could be stress related, diet, etc.. or if breast feeding your hair can receed like a man but will eventually grow back, if in doubt contact your G.P
Vitamin deficiences such as iron deficiency can cause hair loss, so get yourself checked out. Also stress can be a major factor, or if you have recently suffered from an illness this can cause hair loss. Try not to worry about it if you can but go %26amp; see your doctor %26amp; improve your diet straight away. Eat plenty of fresh fruit %26amp; vegetables, meat %26amp; oily fish - organic if possible. Try to avoid processed foods, excessive sugar %26amp; refined flour %26amp; other junk food whenever possible as they are not beneficial for health. I hope you manage to solve your problem.
female pattern hair loss may be due to menopause or iron deficiency. it could also be a genetic disposition (if other members of ur family have it). alopecia can also be an auto-immunological abnormality.
some illness like psoriasis also cause hair loss or excess treatment with bleach or hair colour.
u must just take some vitamins or use some protein-rich hair care.
topical vasodilators are also available on prescription.
are you stressed out you may have the start of alopecia its where u have hair loss due to stress,go to the dr they can prescribe something and hopefully wont get to bad....
There can be a no.of reasons for hair loss in women.
Eg. stress, hormonal imbalance, some disease.
It an also be just seasonal, for no reason at all and temporary/reversible.
U need to monitor it for a few days. Normal hair loss in healthy ppl is 100/day. so maybe its normal afterall. Hair keeps growing and compensates for the normal daily hair loss. It may seem a lot to u but might be normal.
U need to look into this and if really feel the need, see a good dermatologist.
Good luck!

Hair loss can be due to anxiety, temporary illness or use of harm full hair products. if you haven't under gone any of these things you should go to a doctor and get your body checked, it could be symptoms of something else.
There are several factors that our hair could lose. Like thyroid and stress this will lead to a poor blood circulation. If your scalp is tight your pores is closed so the hair cannot breath and that cause your hair to fall out.
I would go to the doctors and let them know, because most hair loss in women is caused by stress, however as someone has mentioned it could be down to your thyroid.
Dont put it off go see a doc, so you can get it sorted as soon as, so you dont have to worry more about bald patches beacue the more you stress out about going bald the higher your stress levels will be, so its a viscious cycle.eye make up

There are several factors that our hair could lose. Like thyroid and stress this will lead to a poor blood circulation. If your scalp is tight your pores is closed so the hair cannot breath and that cause your hair to fall out.
I would go to the doctors and let them know, because most hair loss in women is caused by stress, however as someone has mentioned it could be down to your thyroid.
Dont put it off go see a doc, so you can get it sorted as soon as, so you dont have to worry more about bald patches beacue the more you stress out about going bald the higher your stress levels will be, so its a viscious cycle.

I HAVE THINNING HAIR ON THE TOP/FRONT OF MY SCALP. I AM 30 YRS OLD AND I HAVE BEEN DEPRESSED SINCE MY MOM DIED.What causes hair loss in women? s?
First of all I want to say I am very sorry to hear that your mom died. It is always hard on you mentally and physically to lose a loved one. Stress is one of the number one triggers for hair loss. Chemical imbalances can also cause it. Certain medications could also be the culprit. I would recommend seeing your family practitioner or a grief counselor. This sounds strange but take calcium pills. It's good for your body and helps with mood swings. Also if you go to your local health food store and ask them for natural ways to take care of it. Taking controlled substances could have adverse effects and make your problem worse. I wish you the best of luck and hang in there. It's hard and you never stop missing the person you lost but as someone who's been through it I can say that it does eventually start to hurt less. You go on and life does get better. It just takes patience and a strong heart. I'm sure you have both. Good luck to you again.What causes hair loss in women? s?
The most common cause of hair loss is genetics-you inherit the tendency to lose hair from either or both of your parents. This is called male-pattern hair loss or female-pattern hair loss. The medical term for this type of hair loss is androgenetic alopecia.
In this type of hair loss, your genes affect how your hair grows. They trigger a sensitivity to a class of hormones called androgens, including testosterone, which causes hair follicles (which hair grows from) to shrink. Shrinking follicles produce thinner hair and eventually none at all.
Common causes of hair loss include:
Ringworm of the scalp (tinea capitis), which is common in children.
Mental stress or physical stress, such as recent surgery, illness, or high fever. You may have a lot of hair loss 4 weeks to 3 months after severe physical or emotional stress. Your hair usually will grow back within a few months.
Hair care. Pulling your hair back too tightly or wearing tight braids or ponytails can cause hair loss. You may lose hair around the edge of the hairline, especially around the face and forehead. Using curling irons or dyes continually can also result in hair loss. Hair usually grows back when these activities are stopped.
Age. As you age, your hairs tend to break more easily, and hair follicles do not grow as much hair.
Poor nutrition, especially lack of protein or iron in the diet. Hair returns after you change your diet to get enough of these nutrients.
Thyroid diseases including hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.
Other causes of hair loss include:
Alopecia areata, an autoimmune disease in which your immune system attacks hair follicles, resulting in obvious, round hairless patches on any area of the scalp or body. Severe cases involve many bald patches of hair or complete loss of hair on the scalp or body, although in some cases there is hair thinning without distinct patches of baldness. Hair usually grows back within 1 year without treatment; however, 10% of people with the condition may never regrow their hair.2
Diseases, such as lupus, syphilis, or cancer. Hair may grow back on its own, although you may also need treatment.
Side effects of medications or medical treatments, such as blood thinners (anticoagulants) or chemotherapy. Hair usually grows back after you stop using the medication or when the treatment is over.
Trichotillomania, a compulsive behavior in which a person pulls hair out of the scalp, eyelashes, or eyebrows. There is usually mounting tension before pulling and a feeling of relief afterward. Trichotillomania often results in noticeable hair loss.
Injury to the scalp including scarring. Injuries can damage hair follicles and cause hair loss.
Changes in hormone levels. Childbirth, taking birth control pills, or changes in a woman's menstrual cycle can affect the hair growth cycle and cause hair loss. Hair usually will grow back.
There are many thing that can cause hair loss in women,from bad nutrition habits and stress,to weak damaged hair and poor blood circulation.
There are some things you can do to make your hair grow faster though,everybody has a maximum rate of hair growth,if your body is not in good health,your hair will only grow at the minimum rate,here are the necessary steps:
1.Don't wash your hair everyday,washing your hair everyday puts unnecessary stress on the hair,the more you wash,the more your hair dries out and breaks,wash your hair twice a week with an emu oil moisturizing shampoo %26amp; conditioner.It is very important that you find an emu oil shampoo %26amp; conditioner because emu oil gets rid of scalp inflamation, scalp inflamation denies the hair follicles the necessary blood flow it needs in order to grow fast.
2.Keep an oil moisturizer in your hair,it's very important to keep some kind of oil in your hair because wind and dust in the air will make your hair dry and brittle and easier to break,my favorite oil moisturizer is Cantu Shea Butter oil moisturizer,it is kinda greasy,but you can put more or less depending on how you style your hair on that day,find an oil moisturizer that works for you.
3.Take care of your hair from the inside,take a multi-vitamin with minerals and amino acids/proteins daily,there are plenty of great vitamins out there,you just have to find what works for you,have a look at these:

4.Don't brush your brush hair,brushing rips and tears at the hair folicle,use a comb with wide teeth instead,and wear your hair up whenever possible,your clothing,especially cotton clothing can cause splits ends.Every time you wear your hair down, you are exposing it to environmental damage. It is exposed to the air, which will dry it out. Wind will cause tangles, which in turn causes more handling and more damage. Your hair will rub against your clothes which dries it out even further.
5.Massage your scalp,this will increase blood flow to the hair folicles,I love to hang off of the sofa or my bed and massage my oil moisturizer into my scalp.Sleep on a satin pillowcase to prevent damage from tossing and turning,If you have fine, thin hair, stay away from volumizing and thickening shampoos,they dry out your hair,stay away from hair accessories with metal in them,that will definitely rip and tear your hair,keep heat styling to at a minimum,no more than twice a week,if you must do this more than twice a week,find a good deep conditioning treatment,like this one:

And drink lots of water!
It could very well be the stress of your mothers death causing the hair loss,there is little you do to keep from being depressed when there is a death in the family,but just try to find a nice hobby,watch some new movies or pet an animal,things that can really make your heart rate and blood pressure drop and relax you.My heart goes out to you.
Hair loss is caused by many reasons such as malnutrition, illness, tension and other health problems.It is normal to shed some hair each day as part of a cycle of growing new hairs and loosing some.However,some people may experience excessive hair loss which might cause baldness.Hair loss of this type can affect men, women and children. Other reasons for hair loss in men and women are;stress, infection, surgery, high fever,diets,over brushing,syphilis,and tumors.Severe hair problems may cause anguish. An increase in the numbers of hairs lost daily about 200 hairs a day will be noticeable to the person who may become desperately anxious that he or she is going to become bald.
Perming, straightening, hair dyeing and bleaching ,hot combing, using heated rollers and hot wax inevitably damage the hair.Badly damaged hair breaks at the scalp.Once split ends have appeared, it is a good idea to trim off the straggly ends to give a healthy appearance to the hair.

What are the possible causes for rapid hair loss in women?
AgeWhat are the possible causes for rapid hair loss in women?
An excess of testosterone, underactive thyroid....have a blood test to check your hormones.What are the possible causes for rapid hair loss in women?
anemia
stress
Recent use of antibiotics and cause hair to fall out. (Especially Zithromax, Erythromycins but many others can cause it.) Since antibiotics interfere with plant cell production, some processes are also found in animal cells and interfere with their ability to grow.
Being severly overweight or quickly gaining weight can also cause male pattern baldness in women and rapid hair loss.
If large patches of hair have suddenly fallen out, suspect a possible fungal infection of the scalp. A dermatologist can confirm that by a scraping and examine under the microscope in a Sodium Hydroxide solution. Depending on the causitive fungus, a shampoo or cream or tablets or combination thereof can be used to kill it.... as well as a bit of laundry to prevent re-infection.
These are a few of the posibilities, not an exhaustive list... just some things to investigate.
stress and no conditioners
hair loss is heriditary. It is recessive in female and dominant in male. The loss is not as fast as in male. Another is both emotional and physical stress such as serious illness or recovery from surgery have been associated with hair loss. It is possible that stress induces hormomal changes that are responsible for hair loss, since hair loss is a known consequence of other hormonal changes due to pregnancy, thryoid disturbance, or evern from taking oral contraceptives. Nervous habits, such as scalp rubbing or hair twisting or pulling may also be responsible for hair loss. These habits may respnose to psychological stress in some people and may be another cause of stress-related hair loss.
stress-worry- and some medications will cause hair loss
Have you been put on any new medications recently? Are you anemic or having thyroid problems? If you are losing your hair at a fast rate and your hair is noticeably thinner, you really need to go see the doctor, your metabolism is out of whack.
stress
Not many people think that medications such as blood pressure meds can and will make you lose hair. Talk to a doctor about your concerns and always ask for side effects including hair loss.
