Hair Loss In Women
Hair loss in women is often connected to pregnancy. Three to six months after delivering a child, many women notice a degree of hair loss as the hair goes into a resting phase because of the physiological impact of the pregnancy on the body.
A woman's body can also be greatly affected by intensive diets and losing a lot of weight in a short period of time.
Severe illnesses and infections can put great stress on the body thus triggering the hair into a resting phase which result hair shedding. Often the body recovers naturally within 3 to 9 months and the hair begins to regrow until it almost resembles its original condition.
Hair Loss Signs in Men
1. Receeding hairline
2. Moderate to extensive hair loss, particularly on the crown of the head.
About ninety-five percent of hair loss in men is attributable to Androgenic Alopecia also know as male pattern baldness.
Some believe this condition includes three factors:
1) age 2) heredity 3) the male hormone testosterone
As hair loss in men progresses, the hair becomes finer, does not grow so long and the bald spot at the crown widens.
Finally, the thinning crown and the receding points may meet forming a horseshoe pattern with hair around the sides of the head.
Hair loss in men can begin as early as 20 although for the majority of men, hair loss is more noticeable from the age of 35 to 40. |
