Identifying The Different Kinds Of Female Hair Loss

Identifying The Different Kinds Of Female Hair Loss    

The Causes Include Hormonal Imbalance, Stress And Lack Of Vitamins And Minerals    

There are ways to identify if female hair loss is normal or excessive by determining what type is it. One type is called diffuse hair loss, also known as telogen effluvium, and consists of the hair thinning all over the scalp, and not in an area. It is caused by excess stress, or by the lack of vitamins and minerals, such as iron, zinc, calcium, and vitamins B12 and D3. Another type is called female pattern hair loss, or androgenic alopecia, caused by a hormonal imbalance, such as menopause or pregnancy. The hormones make the hair to grow slower and thinner. The third type is called thyroid-related thinning, caused by hypothyroidism, in which the thyroid is underactive. This, among other effects in the body, causes the follicles to shut down or slowing the hair growth. The good news is that these three types of female hair loss are treatable.
