Men usually lose hair around their temples and the top of their heads, forming an M-shaped hairline and a bald spot. But for ladies, hair loss often causes a wider part or thinner hair. The patterns of hair loss between them can be very different, but many ladies are still mistaken as having androgenetic alopecia. In fact, doctors say that 80% of women’s hair loss cases have nothing to do with androgenetic alopecia and are actually due to the following two major factors.

Two major factors of women’s hair loss

Androgenetic alopecia is caused by excessive androgen production, including dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which attacks the hair follicles. This kind of hair loss is caused by genetics.

Meanwhile, women have lower androgen levels so they’re less likely to have androgenetic alopecia. Instead, their hair loss is often caused by two other major factors: female hormones and daily habits.

These two factors are closely related and can influence each other. If a woman has poor lifestyle habits such as an unbalanced diet, excessive dieting or fasting, pulling all-nighters, and lack of exercise, it can affect hormone secretion. When female hormones are deficient, the growth cycle of the hair follicles will shorten, leading to hair loss.

Women’s hair loss: acute and chronic

The human scalp has about 100,000 hair strands and we normally lose 50 to 100 hairs per day. However, in cases of severe illness, surgery, childbirth, extreme weight loss, medication side effects, and other factors, we may lose more than 100 hairs per day. Within 3 to 4 months, we could be able to pull out a handful of thick, long hair, and our hair could become noticeably thinner as well.

This kind of hair loss is acute hair loss and occurs when the body experiences external stress or changes, causing the hair to rapidly shift to the telogen phase and fall out quickly. A common example is postpartum hair loss. As oestrogen levels are high during pregnancy but drop rapidly after childbirth, this causes hair to enter the catagen and telogen phases and fall out.

If your body hasn’t experienced any illness or external changes, but you continue to lose hair (especially thin and soft ones) for years, you’re having chronic hair loss. This type of hair loss is often caused by follicle shrinkage or other hormonal imbalances and underlying diseases. It's more likely to occur in women aged 35 or above and is becoming increasingly common among younger women as well.

How should women treat hair loss?

The causes of hair loss are complex, and common solutions on the market include dietary therapy, hair tonic and scalp micropigmentation, but they can hardly cure hair loss problems. Medication treatments are more effective, but they may cause hormonal imbalances and side effects like irregular periods, acne breakouts, sensitive skin, and pregnancy problems. Moreover, once you stop taking the medication, hair loss rebound may occur.

As for hair transplant, it does cure hair loss problems. But we ladies care a lot about our appearance and it's tough to accept having to shave our heads and wait for 9 months for our hair to grow back. So, we need a solution that delivers an immediate effect, has no recovery period and no side effects, and can be long-lasting.
