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.
