Hair loss in woman
Posted: Feb 10, 2014
One of the most emotionally devastating concerns of women is thinning hair and hair loss. We understand that a woman’s head of hair is her crowning glory — and losing too much hair can be a serious and frightening blow to her self-esteem.
Your hair is one of the first areas, along with skin and nails, to manifest signs of hormonal imbalance, poor nutrition, or illness. Understanding how hair regenerates and paying attention to any changes in your hair growth and appearance are important parts to know how to take care of yourself. The truth is that certain amount of hair loss is normal, but excessive hair loss and hair thinning indicate that something is not right.
Some women experience periods of noticeable hair loss (or growth) at different phases of their menstrual cycle, or even seasonally. If this is your experience, be assured that it is very common and tends to resolve itself naturally. If you are currently under a lot of stress, providing your body with a little more support through following nutritional and lifestyle guidelines for three to six months as that is really boost your hair growth. But also screen women carefully for symptoms of underlying health concerns before proceeding to more intrusive diagnostic or treatment methods.
Many women experience more dramatic, localized hair thinning, even a noticeable bald spot. This condition is called male pattern baldness, or androgenetic alopecia (AGA), and it is the most common form of hair loss in both men and women. It almost always occurs on the top and sides of the head and above the forehead, and may also involve excessive hair growth on the face and other areas on the body, though the range of severity is wide.
Hormonal imbalance due to PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) or peri menopause is the primary cause of male pattern baldness in women. One Finnish study of women in their 60’s showed a definitive correlation between insulin resistance and increased risk of hair thinning, particularly when a subject had a paternal history of hair loss.
Testing for more severe hair lossHair loss that is more dramatic or persists warrants a closer look. Testing for insulin resistance, testosterone levels, and thyroid or other metabolic dysfunction can point to androgen sensitivity, thyroid dysfunction, or another endocrinologic disturbance as a possible cause for a woman’s thinning hair.
Natural hair loss solutionsIf your hair loss is mild to moderate, the most important thing to do is weigh the immediate stressors in your life against how much support you’re giving your body. Take some steps toward shifting the balance to the support side. Here’s what we recommend:
- Eliminate dietary causes of hair loss. Eat a balanced diet comprised of whole, protein-rich foods — organic, if possible. Avoid or limit refined sugar and other simple carbohydrates to ameliorate insulin resistance
- Examine your emotional health. If you are under severe psychological stress, your hair loss could be a result and should improve a few months after the stress is relieved. Finding healthy ways to express your feelings can go a long way toward reducing stress, as can gentle meditative exercises and practices.
- Balance your hormones. If you are going through menopause or are beginning to notice hormonal changes.
- Address vitamin deficiency hair loss. Take a rich multivitamin that includes hair-healthy vitamins such as B, C, D and E. Other important nutrients are calcium, magnesium, copper, zinc, and iron. A fish oil supplement containing vitamin D and essential fatty acids will help boost immunity and soothe inflammation.
