Thinning Hair Women - Causes

Many women will suffer from the effects of thinning hair as they get older. However, there are some causes of thinning hair that speed up the hair loss process. Menopause is a good example of this, because hormone levels change dramatically which can throw the entire system out of whack, so to speak. The majority of post menopausal women report that they have thinner hair. However, there are also many women who are far from menopause who also experience thinning hair.

Many women find success with Provillus for Thinning Hair Women. Personally, I found that Provillus combined with healthy eating, scalp massage, and exercise really helped my thinning hair problems.

The causes of thinning hair in women

One of the major causes of thinning hair in women are physical and emotional stress. Quite often women with too much on their plate find that their hair starts to fall out more rapidly, and may become stringy as a result. In worse cases the scalp becomes visible through the hair which is a source of great embarrassment. Another cause is physical stress, which can be brought about by extreme diet or exercise regimes. 

Post-pregnancy is also a common time for hair loss. Many women don't lose much hair while they are pregnant, but after the baby's born their hair can thin noticably. This happened to me with each child, and I had to cut quite a lot off my hair to prevent it looking stringy. 

Other reasons for thinning hair in women

Women also are prone to losing hair due to some diseases, after having surgery (possibly related to stress), with immune system problems, thyroid disease, chemo or radiation for cancer, drugs or allergies. Some of these may lead to general thinning, while others are severe enough to create bald spots or even complete baldness. However, in many cases once the cause is gone the hair will regrow.

Hairloss is very stressful for women, as hair is still seen as a sign of beauty and health. When a woman starts losing her hair she can feel as if she is losing her femininity which can also lead to more stress and further hair loss! Fortunately, there are ways of halting or reversing the problem of hair loss.
