You might have not noticed that your hair has started to thin until recently. You need not be alarmed that your hair is thinning and the best thing that you can do is to go and speak to your doctor. Many women suffer from hair loss and this comes in many different forms and can be caused by a variety of different reasons.
In the majority of female hair loss cases, it is caused by external stress or trauma. The body has ways in which it deals with certain situations and it may be that your body has found a particular time in your life difficult and this has therefore lead to your hair loss.
The reason why you are losing your hair is because your hair follicles are no longer producing hair. This is because the hormones and changes in your body have meant that the hair follicles have become dormant. All hair follicles go through being dormant at some point but this is done in a cycle along with all of the other follicles. However in this instance, a large amount of hair follicles have become dormant at once which is why you have bald spots or hair thinning.
