Some real facts and reasons for women’s hair loss

.................................................................................... Women’s hair is an important part of their identity and hair loss is not a man’s problem only but women’s as well; any woman would freak out if she notices globs of hair in the shower drain. With men’s hair loss, the hair recedes and men start losing their hair on the tops of their heads; however it is not the same with women as they get diffuse thinning not receding hair.

Usually, hair loss patterns are inherited by members in the family or due to hormone changes or imbalance of male hormones, which can also cause excess facial and body hair and irregular periods. Testosterone plays a major role; those whose bodies convert this hormone to DHT more efficiently lose more hair than others whose bodies are less efficient. The progesterone hormone found in oral contraceptives can act like androgens, which are male hormones making hair thinner and finer, so you better talk to your doctor to prescribe the right version for you especially if there is a hair loss history in your family.
