Is your hair not as thick as it once was? This is not a problem that only afflicts men. One in four women have trouble with thinning hair and hair loss. Usually, a woman will notice hair thinning all over, in the center of her scalp, or significant baldness at the crown of the head. 

Hair Growth & Loss for Women: 

The average person’s hair grows a half an inch per month. These hairs grow for four to six years before falling out. Those hairs that fall out, also known as resting hair, are then replaced with new hairs and that cycle starts over. On the average person’s head, 85% of their hair is growing and the other 15% is resting. It is natural for the average person to lose 50 to 100 strands of resting hair per day. Noticing a few hairs in the hairbrush or on your clothes is entirely normal. You will notice abnormally thinning hair, usually through considerable clumps falling out when you fix or wash your hair, or it may begin thinning slowly over time.

Over the last ten years, the technology for hair restoration have made tremendous progress. Now, women in our society today have options that look and feel like natural hair.

There are many causes of female hair loss. Some will work out over time and will go back to normal but many require treatment. 

• Pregnancy – During pregnancy, estrogen is high, and those hormones cause you to hold onto your hair. When estrogen goes back to normal levels after childbirth, hair can fall out in clumps.

• Crash Diets – A nutritional deficiency can starve the hair follicles and unhealthy hair falls out.

• Stress – Stress and anxiety can slow or stop androgen production, which will shrink the hair follicle and cause thinning.

• Heredity – Research has shown that you have a 90% chance of having the same hair as your mother’s grandfather because genes usually follow the maternal side of the family.

• Menopause – Hormonal changes create the potential for hair loss
