Female hair loss

If male hair loss can be difficult for men to deal with, then imagine what female hair loss does to women.  For many women their hair is their pride and joy, their holy symbol to show their femininity.  Whereas men losing their hair is always open to jests and jokes, female hair loss is no laughing matter at all and is usually regarded as something much more serious. 

In truth, while women hardly ever go completely bald, female hair loss happens just as much as male hair loss. But because of the drastic differences between men and women’s lifestyles, many women experience female hair loss. Whether they choose to talk about it is another matter. Women can experience hair loss or hair thinning due to hormonal changes, pregnancy, extreme dieting or thyroid disorders. Female hair loss can sometimes progress more slowly than male hair loss because of the small amount of male hormones in a woman's body. A hormone imbalance may make the problem worse. 

We now know that hair has three distinct phases.  The growing phase, the resting phase and the falling out phase.  90% of our hair is in the growing phase, but this growth is unsynchronized.  What can happen during or after pregnancy, for example, is that the hair grows, rests and falls out in a synchronized fashion, resulting in significant female hair loss.  In general, after a period of time, the hair cycles go back to their old unsynchronized routine once more and the problem is solved naturally.
