Thinning Hair in Women
What are the most common causes of thinning hair in women?
Women typically experience thinning hair as they age much
like their male counterparts. The cause of this age onset thinning of
hair in
women is also the result of the same condition that causes
male pattern hair loss. Indeed this common name for androgenetic alopecia
is a misnomer.
As it turns out, women experience ADA almost as regularly
as they hit menopause as men do. The reason that this disorder was not
recognized as a major
cause of thinning hair in women is that the "pattern" that
makes it so identifiable in males is not usually the pattern that women
experience.
Fortunately for women this cause of thinning hair in women
tends to be a more even thinning of the hair of the scalp whereas men
tend to lose
hair in the frontal and crown areas of their scalp.
Does diet cause thinning hair in women?
Poor diet does indeed cause thinning hair in women. A lack
of proteins results in drastically thinning hair. There are warning signs
that this may be a problem. The tendency of the hair to become dull or
limp is usually a good indication that the cause of hair loss is a diet
that is deficient in protein. Another dietary cause of thinning hair in
women is iron deficiency.
Is there a nervous condition that causes thinning
hair in women?
Yes, stress can be a very real cause of thinning
hair in women. Tension can cause the scalp to become
tight and tense and starves the hair
follicles of sufficient blood supply. This results in hair
loss. There is also a condition where the sufferer
will twist or pull the hair out
by the roots. This obsessive compulsive disorder is called
trichotillomania. This cause of thinning hair is
usually characterized by the loss being
in key target areas such as the nape of the neck or behind
the ears and it is a patchy loss of hair.
