Our culture has a certain standard of beauty and that definitely includes a woman having hair. There is a reason for women to panic when they find their hair is clogging the shower drain. Hair loss in women can ruin a woman’s self esteem which can result in other psychological problems.

More and more women are facing the hard fact of serious hair loss. It is a problem that is affecting at least 30 million women in the United States alone. To understand why hair loss in women may be occurring, you need to know a bit about how your hair grows.

You can expect your hair to grow at a rate of an inch per month. Each of those hairs has a phase of growth from 2 to 6 years. It is at the end of this period that the hair rests and then it falls out. The hair follicle then begins to grow a new strand of hair for the cycle to continue, sometimes far into our golden years.

There are those people who are born with an inherited gene for hair loss. There is a group of hormones that interfere with the process called androgens. These hormones are in all men’s bodies in large quantities and smaller amounts in women.

Men and women do not experience hair loss in the same way. Hair loss in women tends to occur around the entire top of the head, whereas men often have a bald spot in the back of their head, around their temples and the crown of the head. It is now thought that different factors contribute to hair loss in women, than those of men.

To find more information on the other factors and causes of hair loss in women, you can find all you need when you search online. You can find treatments for hair loss in women and advice from experts and sufferers alike. You can even join a chat group that focuses specifically on hair loss in women and you can speak to others about remedies they have tried before you spend your money on any bogus treatments.
