How Can I Tell If I’m Experiencing Hair Loss?

There are many possible causes of hair loss in women, ranging from genetic factors and stress to underlying medical conditions. Depending on the specific cause, hair loss may be temporary or persistent. It’s important to consult a hair loss specialist to receive an accurate diagnosis and determine the most appropriate treatment plan.

Signs That You May Be Losing Your Hair

Some of the most common ways to recognize hair loss include:

Observing thinning areas or a receding hairline on your own.
Being told by others that your hair appears to be thinning, as you might not notice it yourself.
Finding an unusual amount of hair on your pillow, in the shower, around the bath drain, or on your hands while styling your hair in the morning.

Understanding Female Pattern Hair Loss

Female Pattern Hair Loss, also known as Androgenetic Alopecia, is one of the most widespread hair loss conditions affecting women.

This inherited condition leads to thinning hair, typically noticeable at the crown and top of the scalp, while the hair on the sides and back generally stays thick and unaffected.

You might observe increased hair shedding and a widening of your parting over time.

In some cases, female hair loss can also result in a receding hairline, especially with thinning around the temples.

Telogen Effluvium Explained

Telogen Effluvium is typically a temporary form of hair loss. This condition results in overall thinning across the scalp and happens when a triggering event forces certain hair follicles to shift prematurely from the growth phase into the resting phase.

Since the resting phase lasts about three months before hair is shed, noticeable hair loss generally occurs around three months after the initial trigger. Common causes include sudden stressful events or medical issues, but other potential triggers are:

Telogen Effluvium

Telogen Effluvium is usually temporary. The condition causes thinning of the hair from all over the scalp and is caused by an event that shocks certain hair follicles and causes the hairs produced by these follicles to move from the growth phase to the resting phase.

As the resting phase lasts around three months before the hair sheds, hair loss will occur roughly three months after the event which caused it. Triggers will usually be either a sudden stressful event or medical occurrence, but can also include:

Telogen Effluvium

Chronic Telogen Effluvium (Diffuse Hair Loss)

Chronic Telogen Effluvium, often referred to as Diffuse Hair Loss, shares similar causes with temporary Telogen Effluvium, but the key difference is that the hair loss persists over a longer period. This ongoing shedding happens because the underlying trigger has not been addressed.

To successfully treat Chronic TE, it is essential to not only apply the right treatment plan but also to investigate and manage the medical issues at the root of the problem.

Common health-related causes of Chronic Telogen Effluvium include:

Treatment typically involves a thorough hair restoration programme that includes the use of minoxidil.

Understanding Diffuse Hair Loss

Chronic Telogen Effluvium, also known as Diffuse Hair Loss, is similar to temporary Telogen Effluvium in its causes, the main difference being that hair loss can be prolonged. The reason for this is that the underlying cause of the hair loss has not been dealt with. In order to treat Chronic TE effectively it is important not only to treat the condition with an optimum course of treatment, but also to look at the medical issues causing the problem.

Chronic Telogen Effluvium can be caused by a number of health-related conditions including:

It is generally treated with a comprehensive hair loss treatment programme featuring minoxidil.

Diffuse Hair Loss

Understanding Alopecia Areata
Alopecia Areata is a condition that leads to sudden, patchy hair loss, often resulting in small, round bald spots. This type of hair loss is frequently triggered by extreme stress or shock and usually develops around three months after the initial event.
Typically, Alopecia Areata affects only the scalp, with hair loss occurring in various areas. However, in more severe cases, it can progress to total hair loss on the scalp and even the entire body (refer to the 'Other Hair Loss Conditions' section below for more details).

Treatment Options for Women's Hair Loss

Other Less Common Hair Loss Conditions

In addition to the more typical causes of hair loss, there are several rarer conditions that can affect women. These less common forms of hair loss occur far less frequently than the ones previously mentioned but can still have a significant impact.

Also referred to as Central Progressive Alopecia or Hot Comb Alopecia, Follicular Degeneration Syndrome (FDS) is a type of scarring alopecia. It typically begins as a well-defined area of thinning hair and may gradually expand in a spiral pattern across the crown (vertex) of the scalp.

Alopecia Totalis and Alopecia Universalis represent the most advanced forms of alopecia. Alopecia Totalis results in complete loss of hair from the scalp, including the eyebrows and eyelashes, while Alopecia Universalis leads to total hair loss across the entire body, from head to toe.

Trichotillomania is a self-induced hair loss condition where individuals compulsively pull, twist, or tug at their hair, leading to noticeable hair loss over time.

Pseudopelade, also called Alopecia Cicatrisata, is a very rare form of hair loss. It primarily affects women and sometimes children, leading to patchy bald spots where a few healthy hairs may still remain within the affected areas.

Lupus is a long-term inflammatory condition where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues and organs. While it is often recognized by the distinctive butterfly-shaped rash across the nose and cheeks, Lupus can also lead to widespread thinning and hair loss.

Cicatricial alopecia, often referred to as "scarring alopecia," is a collection of rare hair loss disorders. One particular form, Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia , primarily affects women. These conditions damage the hair follicles directly and can also include hair loss resulting from scarring caused by burns or radiation exposure.

Traction Alopecia is a form of hair loss caused by continuous, excessive pulling on the hair shafts, often resulting from tight hairstyles such as braids, weaves, or frequent use of hair extensions. This repeated tension can damage the hair follicles, typically leading to thinning around the hairline and temples, where only fine, wispy hairs may remain.
