Hair loss at any age for a woman can be traumatic but when you are also going through a pregnancy, it can be even tougher. Most women find that they experience some changes to their body whilst they are pregnant and this can range from water retention, mood swings and also hair loss.

Hair loss during pregnancy is generally nothing to worry about, however it can also be a sign of something more serious such as stress or anxiety so you will need to have a trip to the doctors. Your doctor will assess your hair loss and if necessary, he may refer you to a hair loss specialist who will be able to give you more advice about your hair loss and may possibly prescribe you with some medication to ensure that your hair returns.

This should put your mind at rest and you will need to monitor the situation during the rest of your pregnancy. If you continue to lose your hair or you are concerned that your hair is not returning, you will need to go and speak to your doctor again. In the meantime, enjoy your pregnancy and make sure you are fully prepared for the baby’s arrival.

You may have looked after your hair really well during your lifetime, but this doesn’t mean that you won’t suffer with female hair loss. Most cases of female hair loss are as a result of stress, trauma and physical and hormonal changes that are occurring in your body. Regardless of how well you have treated your hair, you might still suffer from hair loss.

There are many myths surrounding female hair loss and the loss of hair such as over brushing the hair, over styling and colouring the hair. However these are all old wives tales and there are more scientific reasons for women losing their hair during their lifetime.

In most cases of female hair loss it is triggered by a physical, emotional or hormonal change to their body which has resulted in their hair follicles becoming dormant and therefore not producing hair. For some women this can be bald patches on the scalp, whereas others it is the thinning of the hair. If you think that you are suffering with some form of female hair loss, you should speak to your doctor and get a formal diagnosis. Your doctor may even refer you to a specialist to ensure that you are getting the right treatment for your hair loss.

Hair loss for a woman is much more of a taboo subject than male hair loss. This is probably because of embarrassment about the illness and also not fully understanding why they are suffering with female hair loss. However, female hair loss is actually quite common and you would be surprised to hear how many women suffer with variants of a female hair loss condition.

There are many different forms of hair loss for women, but the most common is alopecia and telogen effluvium. This particular type of hair loss is caused by a ‘reaction to intense stress on the body’s physical or hormonal systems, or as a reaction to medication’. In most cases of this particular type of hair loss, your doctor will be able to prescribe you the necessary medication and ensure that your hair returns.

However, your hair loss might not happen straight after a traumatic event or hormonal change in your body. Sometimes it can take a while for the hair follicles to stop producing hair and you may notice in the beginning that your hair is thinning out rather than becoming completely bald. The reason for the thinning of the hair is because your hair follicles have become dormant as a result of the trauma. The medication that your doctor puts you on will stimulate the growth of the dormant hair follicles.

Many women suffer with hair loss during their lifetime but it can be quite a common experience for women who are pregnant. Pregnancy involves a large amount of hormones racing around your body and it can be a traumatic time for any women when she has to also go through some form of female hair loss. Female hair loss is very common for pregnant women, however not every woman experiences it and this is what can be distressing.

If you have noticed that you have been losing your hair during your pregnancy, you will need to speak to your doctor. It is probably nothing and is probably the result of the hormonal changes occurring in your body, but it is always worth checking just to be sure.

Your doctor will assess your hair loss and may also ask if you are feeling stressed about anything or if you are worrying about anything relating to your pregnancy. Your doctor may prescribe you some medication to tackle your hair loss but they may also say that it is worth waiting until after the baby is born to see whether or not your hair returns. If it hasn’t returned once you’ve given birth, you will need to go back to your doctor and start receiving treatment for your female hair loss condition.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with feel self conscious about your hair loss and if it is really getting you down, it might be worth getting yourself a human hair wig to cover your hair loss. Many women turn to wigs when they are going through cancer treatment and other forms of female hair loss. One of the great things about human hair wigs is that they look completely authentic and nobody is ever going to be able to notice that you are wearing a wig.

Human hair wigs are made from human hair and they come in a range of different colours. You can choose to have yours cut and styled as you would have your hair styled normally and even have it coloured to match your own hair colour. They are very discrete and look really professional. You might even want to have a couple of different wigs so that you can alternate between them when you want to have a change.

There is no point feeling blue about your hair loss so you might as well have some fun and see the funny side of it when you are wearing your human hair wig. Nobody will notice that you are wearing one so there is no need for you to tell them what you are going through.

If you have started to notice that your hair is thinning or you have some bald patches on your scalp, you don’t need to panic. Many people notice changes with their hair quite quickly because we are constantly touching our hair when we are washing it or styling it. If you feel that your hair loss is getting worse, you need to make sure you see your doctor.

Many women experience some form of female hair loss during their lifetime but once they understand why they are experiencing hair loss and get the right treatment, it isn’t as big a deal as they first make it out to be. Hair loss can happen to any woman at any time in her life but it is important to remember that most hair loss conditions can be treated so you don’t need to worry about it. Your doctor will ensure that you are properly diagnosed and start to receive treatment as soon as possible. In the meantime, you could cover your head with a wig if you are feeling self conscious and unsure about people seeing you with no hair or thinning hair. You’ll soon have your own hair back so you can start styling it again.
