The Cause of Female Hair Loss   

Understandably, hair loss is upsetting for all people, but for women it is usually even more unsettling than it is for men.  The reason for this is that for women, their hair is a big part of their overall look.  When they begin to lose their hair they can often feel stressed and even become depressed.  The cause of female hair loss can be linked to a wide variety of things.  The cause of hair loss could be genetic, exposure, or even stress.  

Some contributing factors that could be the cause of female hair loss can be an illness, medications, childbirth, trauma of surgery and some other diseases. Exposure to some chemicals and elements may also contribute as a cause of female hair loss, although these situations are quite rare.  

Natural Cause of Female Hair Loss 

Did you know that hair loss is natural?  Every day we are losing our hair. Our hair has a growth cycle of around two to six years wherein a strand may grow continuously and eventually fall out at the end of the cycle after a short resting period. The natural cause of female hair loss is this ending of the cycle where the strands fall out.

The follicles will then grow another strand of hair and the cycle continues. The growth cycle for each strand is different which is why we always have falling hair everyday of our lives.   The cycle is so gradual that most people don’t even realize that they are continually losing hair! 

An addition cause of female hair loss may be the hairstyle that some women use daily. These who tie their hair in tight pony tails can aggravate hair follicles with the constant pressure of pulling the hair and cause these to die out.  Just changing up the hairstyle that you choose each day could remedy hair loss you are experiencing.  

Childbirth is another natural cause of female hair loss.   In many cases, being pregnant releases hormones that can enhance the woman's skin and hair. After childbirth, the loss of these hormones is the cause of female hair loss. Some women may experience losing several strands of hair at a time while for others will experience a more gradual hair loss.
