The most common form of hair loss in women

If you are suffering with a form of hair loss, don’t despair, there are many options available to you in terms of treatment. However, prior to starting treatment for your hair loss condition, you will need to find out what type of hair loss condition that you suffer from.

There are many reasons why women lose their hair, but the most common form particularly in women is called telogen effluvium. Not only do you lose the hair on your scalp, it is also common for other body hair such as eyebrows to fall out too.

Telogen Effluvium is usually caused by an intense amount of stress being placed on the body. This can be both physically and mentally and it affects your physical and hormonal systems in your body. It is your body’s way of reacting to the stress that is being put on it and it is normally a sign that you are putting too much strain on your body.

Thankfully though, this type of hair loss does get better with time and more often than not, women don’t necessary experience bald patches, but more that their hair thins and becomes very wispy. You will find that provided you reduce the amount of stress in your life that your hair will return over time once the hair follicles start to produce hair again.
