For women, hair is part of our identify. We style it to feel beautiful, powerful, seductive or playful. Bun up usually means let’s get to work and hair down means it’s play time. From childhood we get compliments for our curls or straight hair, for our blonde or brunette colour. We really care about our hair. That’s why hair loss in women is a traumatic experience.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WOMEN FACE HAIR LOSS
It’s a traumatic experience. Most women experience so much stress trying to hide hair loss that it becomes a catalyst on its own.
Here’s a video of a little girl that understands what women go through when facing hair loss:
The most traumatic cause of hair loss for women are:
HEALTH
Hair loss caused by a health condition is of the most challenging ones. The most common diseases that cause hair loss are cancer and thyroid disorders.
STRESS & TRAUMA
Stress can have a significant impact on our hormonal balance, producing more testosterone that our body needs. This increases levels of DHT in the body and leads to hair loss. Since the result of the trauma is a stress factor on itself, the process is like a mouse wheel.
LIFE CHANGES
Some women experience hair loss after childbirth or menopause, due to hormonal imbalances. This is difficult to cope with as the hormonal imbalance already causes stress and even depression. Dealing with losing your hair in addition to that can be challenging.
GENETICS
This condition can have the strongest impact because it feels like we are helpless and there’s nothing we can do about it. Our genes are set to make us bald and we have to deal with it.
