Common Causes of Female Hair Loss, Symptoms and How to Stop It

Regardless of the current news, products and resources made available for male hair loss, female hair loss is still a serious issue for many women in the United States.  Many women notice the obvious signs - more hair on their brush, hair on their pilow or more strands in the tub, but how does it happen?

What are the causes for female hair loss, and are there other symptoms beyond the above? We'll discuss the most common causes and symptoms, as well as a few effective solutions.

Androgenetic Alopecia

Alopecia is the medical term for hair loss. Androgenetic alopecia, the most common cause of hair loss, refers to a genetic disposition to the condition. The gene that causes hair loss can be inherited by either the paternal or maternal side of the family. If both parents have suffered from hair loss, there is a very high chance you will as well.

DHT, or dihydroxytestestorone, is an enzyme that can attach itself to the hair follicles of those genetically sensntive to them, and can cause female pattern baldness.

Women with androgenetic alopecia start to notice thinning around the frontal crown area. It tends to recede outward, eventually revealing more of the scalp at the crown. This can start as early as in your 20s. It's believed that wearing tight hairstyles (think ballet dancers) can exacerbate the issue.

A dermatologist can conduct tests, checking the pattern of the receding hair and the hair follicles to determine if your particular cause of hair loss is hereditary.

Telogen Effluvium

Telogen effluvium is unique to women as it refers to hair loss that can happen after pregnancy, but it can also occur during high stress, after major surgery, crash diets, or during severe weight loss. Telogen effluvium can also be a side effect of certain medications, such as antidepressants and anti-inflammatory drugs.

The term telogen refers to the resting phase of the hair follicle, which usually lasts around 3 months. When you're not stressed out, a normal amount of hair (about 50-100 a day) falls out during this shedding process. However, when your body is put under extreme duress, as much as 70% of your hair can fall out prematurely.

Women will typically notice more hair loss up to 3 months after a stressful event. At the height of stress, you may notice handfuls of hair easily fall out.

How to resolve this? Outside of determining what major or stressful issue in your life is responsible, you can ease anxiety by taking more breaks or time off from your normal duties, or ask your doctor about alternate forms of medication. For issues such as pregnancy or surgery, you may just need to wait it out, or take a safe topical solution. For diet related hair loss, get proper nutrition, whether through supplements or by eating the right foods.

Abnormal Scalp Conditions

The health of your scalp also plays a big role in preventing hair loss. Dandruss, fungal infections from an overly oily scalp, and psoriasis can all play a part in female hair loss.

Dandruff makes its face known easily - you'll find visible greasy, yellow flakes on your shoulders and hair. A common cause of this is the malassezia fungus, which can also develop from an overly oily scalp. Psoriasis causes too much skin turnover, and you'll notice a thick, white scale on your scalp that, if pulled off, can bleed.

Why Women Should Speak Up and Actively Seek Hair Loss Solutions

The often quoted (and paraphrased) saying “A woman’s hair is her crowning glory” may have originally referred to women with longer styles, but it still rings true for many of us today.  Hair is more than just a bunch of strands made of keratin – it’s an expression of one’s style and personality. Like fashion, one’s hair can change depending on mood and occasion.  

So, it’s no surprise when the subject of losing such a precious commodity’s often kept quiet or publicly ignored. Bad hair days are annoying – but dealing with hair loss can feel absolutely disheartening. No one wants to acknowledge such a sensitive issue, as it churns feelings of getting older, losing your vitality, or even an unwanted shedding of your unique identity.  Men lose their hair but the subject isn’t taboo – so why is female hair loss not addressed?

Today, female hair loss is a huge, untapped market. 1 out of 4 women, or around 40 million in the United States, experience some form of hair loss and thinning hair. Only a small fraction of these women actually seek treatment, whether it’s from a doctor or through self-research and over-the-counter products.  Why isn’t this issue put on the forefront more often? Why do beauty salons across North America not cater to this ignored niche?

MD® wants to tackle this issue and help women approach the issue of hair loss without a feeling of shame or secrecy. You’re not alone – and you shouldn’t feel that way. We’re here to help.

Dr. Susan F. Lin, founder of MD®, is also a practicing physician over 21 years in women’s health, beauty, aesthetics and anti-aging medicine. Her direction and focus is on hair and skin regeneration and anti-aging technology, and developing MD®’s patented Hair Growth technology.

MD® Nutri Hair is our exclusive supplement system of numerous hair-friendly nutrients such as lilac extract, omega fatty acids and biotin formulated specifically for women. They’re easy to use, cost effective and have a fast onset of action – expect results in a few weeks rather than months. MD® Nutri hair works for all ages and ethnicities.

MD® Scalp Essential is an innovative, potent serum for hair that we’ve developed to work alongside any of our MD® Hair Restoration products, or as a stand-alone solution to itchy, oily scalps, thinning hair, and hair loss. It’s the only topical leave-on treatment that works to treat the symptoms and cause of an itchy scalp with a fast, immediate result.  With lilac extract balancing hormones and reducing scalp oil, it’s the ideal, low-maintenance solution for women of any age or ethnicity dealing with hair loss.

Summer Weather and Itchy Scalps - Causes and Solutions

While summer is normally synonymous with having fun outdoors, swimming at the beach (or local pool), and enjoying the warm sunshine, it’s also the start of many hair care issues for thousands of women. The salty sea water and chlorine can contribute to drier strands, and colored hair cab often go haywire when not controlled with specific products. Blonde hair becomes green or brassy, and highlights can go become faded and bland.

Another issue that often gets exacerbated with the summer heat is additional scalp conditions – namely, an itchier, sometimes even oiler scalp. Those with hair extensions or weaves often suffer from this condition, and it’s even more crucial for these women to keep their scalp clean and to remove any extra sebum, a common cause of an itchier scalp.

Women who wear weaves often do not wash or cleanse their scalp as often. This can contribute to an oilier scalp, and combined with the summer’s unique weather and environmental conditions, can also lead to an itchy, sometimes flaky scalp, and even hair loss. If it’s not feasible to remove the weave or extension and wash your scalp more often, what can one do to help combat this issue?

Here at MD®, we have a solution in the form of MD® Scalp Essentials. Specially formulated especially for women by Dr. Susan Lin, a specialist in women's health, beauty and anti-aging, MD® Scalp Essentials contains lilac extract, a natural anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial defense molecule that helps to regulate and control your scalp's oil, and quickly relieve an itchy scalp. Mandelic acid is also anti-inflammatory and works in harmony with lilac extract to control the itch and excess sebum production.

This remarkable elixir does wonders in fighting hair loss as well with the addition of caffeine. Use several drops directly on a clean scalp once a day and see results immediately. Pair MD® Scalp Essentials with our MD® Revitalizing Shampoo and Conditioner for a remarkable difference in your scalp and hair, today.
