What causes hair thinning?

Androgenetic alopecia is encountered by women, which can be considered as the same disorder that induces the baldness of the male scalp. It's a genetic trait that is passed on through generations. In thinning hair, hormones may play a role. Many women may experience hair loss after menopause because of this. 


Let’s delve a little deeper on the root cause of thinning hair. 


The Causes of Hair Thinning:

The key culprit of thinning and loss of female hair may be attributed to the deceleration of normal hair growth. It may take longer for new strands to grow as older hair falls out. The majority of women lose up to 100 hair every day. Women with female balding patterns may, however, lose more than that. If the follicles are unable to keep up, new hair will not be able to fill up as easily in the empty spots.


Plus, the hair follicles will shrink because of this disorder. Typically, the strands which grow back are thinner and lighter than before.


For hair loss and thinning among women, hormones are not always to blame. Other factors that can influence the loss of female hair include:


  • Emotional distress- Overwhelming changes in life, such as losing a loved one or divorce

  • Physical stress- Infirmity, illness or physical injury

  • Pregnancy- Hormones help women hold onto hair, and in the months after giving birth, they could lose more than average.

  • Medicines- Some chemotherapy products, medicines for hormone replacement therapy, birth control pills, and antibiotics in women cause hair loss.

  • Nutrient imbalances- Iron deficiency, vitamin A in abundance and low vitamin levels are also known culprits.


Wrapping Up

High levels of toxins can accumulate at the hair roots and worsen the thinning of hair due to a poor diet. At Aushair we provide rigorous tests for hair analysis that include measures of nutritional and mineral deficiencies and potential toxicities. Our trichologists use the findings of a hair mineral study to include a treatment programme explicitly intended for you. Book a consultation for your hair thinning treatment for more details.
