Thinning hair doesn’t necessarily mean that you are going to lose all of your hair. Female hair loss can be particularly traumatic for some women because they are unsure about what is happening to them and they don’t know how to cope with it. Unlike male hair loss, very little is known about the reasons why hair loss occurs in women.
Thinning hair typically starts as a result of the menopause. The hormone change that occurs in women who are experiencing the menopause results in the hair starting to thin as a result of the hair follicles being affected by the hormone change. Some find that their hair comes back once they have finished going through the menopause but this can take a number of years. Losing your hair is the last thing you want whilst you are experiencing hot flushes and mood swings.
If your hair loss is becoming quite significant, your doctor may be able to give you some treatments that could assist you and prevent any further hair loss from occurring. However there are some forms of hair loss that cannot be treated so you will need to prepare yourself for this and you may need to look at alternative for replacing your hair.
