Causes of Female Hair Loss

Today, serious baldness is surely an increasing problem that affects about 30 million women in America spanning various ages. Every month, our hair grows with the rate of about half an inch, and every hair has a growing phase of from two to six years. After that, the head of hair “rests” for a time, then proceeds to fallout, as well as the follicle which nourished it starts to grow a whole new strand as part of a continuing cycle.

Some folks are genetically predisposed to hair loss, plus a band of hormones disturbs the development process. These hormones (androstenedione, testosterone, and dihydrotestosterone) are mixed in a man’s body in greater amounts and the women’s body in lesser amounts. In time, some of the head of hair follicles die, while others are not able to produce or maintain normal hair growth.
