How Is Female Hair Loss Caused?

The problem of hair loss in women is not so popularly treated as is hair loss in men. Female hair loss is often not taken seriously because even though there are cases where women lose hair, the incidence of such cases and the extremity to which females lose hair is much less.

The most widely attributed cause of hair loss in females is generally considered to be due to genetic reasons. People generally tend to inherit the trait to lose hair from their parents.

However, it would be wrong to say that any one of the parent is responsible for passing on such traits as, genetically, both the sexes have equal chance of passing on such traits to their offspring. Other factors which contribute significantly to the loss of hair in women include stress, improper diet, hormonal imbalance, menopause etc.

There are several methods of treating hair loss in females. Cosmetic hair preparations like shampoos and tonics help to a large extent by promoting hair growth. One such product is ‘Rogaine’ .

It is a cosmetic hair preparation which helps in providing nutrition to the damaged roots of hair in women.The causes of hair loss in females is sometimes much different than in males. Some females lose hair after child-birth and such cases are considered to be minor. This is because the loss of hair in such females is temporary and can be regained after a period.
