One major cause of hair loss in women is stress. If a women has severe enough emotional or physical stress, she may begin to lose hair, whether or not it’s predestined or not. Fortunately, hair loss associated with stress is usually not permanent. Some examples of emotional or physical stress include a death of a loved one, surgeries, strenuous training, severe illness or drastic weight loss. In the time immediately following a surgery or illness, the body is focused on repairing the necessary parts it needs to survive, therefore, production of hair isn’t at the focus of your body’s healing powers. This process may last weeks or even months, depending on the severity of the illness or surgery. Other health problems, which are normally undetected, such as anemia or abnormal thyroids, can also be the cause for hair loss. Simple blood tests can be done to determine if a woman has these diseases.
Hair loss, known as alopecia, can be caused by heredity and changing hormones. Although is it mostly predominant in aging women, in rare occurances, it can also show up in women as young as 25 to 30. Almost half of women who experience permanent hair loss have female-pattern baldness, which is the female equivalent of male-pattern baldness. Alopecia has various forms, including Alopecia Areata, Alopecia Totalis, Alopecia Universalis, Androgenetic Alopecia and Traction Alopecia.
Chemotherapy and radiation are direct causes of hair loss as well. Drugs used in chemotherapy are designed to kill cancer cells, unfortunately in the process they also poison the hair follicles and usually result in complete hair loss for the patient undergoing the treatment. The same can be said for radiation, if it is applied around the head or the neck, because it will destory the cells ability to grow and reproduce. While virtually all chemotherapy patients eventually grow back their hair, many radiation patients don’t.
Finally, there are some chemicals used for hair coloring, bleaching, perming or straightening, that can cause hair loss. However, this typically only occurs when they are overused or used incorrectly. Excessive hairstyling or hairstyles that pull your hair too tightly (ie: corn rows) can contribute to hair loss as well. Fortunately, hair loss specifically associated with hairstyles or hair care products are virtually never permanent and any lost hair will usually grow back as normal.
