Hair thinning and loss are an inevitability for the overwhelming majority of people around the world. In fact, more than half of all men are experiencing some level of baldness by the time they reach middle age, and the numbers continue to rise sharply into senior years. What often gets less attention is how this impacts women as well.
A high percentage of women experience noticeable hair loss over time as well – approximately 40% by age 50. The leading cause of hair loss for women is female pattern baldness. While there is no cure for female baldness (as there is no cure for its prominent male equivalent), that does not mean you have to live with hair thinning and loss. Women have options on how to combat this, but where does one start?
Should I Be Worried About Hair Loss as a Woman?
Although worrying won’t help any in staving off hair loss, there are point in our lives where women should be paying more attention to hair thinning if they hope to combat it early. Changes in our hormone levels as we age have been shown to impact our overall hair health. As hormone production changes, often reducing with age as well as pregnancy, it is important to take a close look at our scalp to see how it is affected.
Another consideration is traction alopecia as a cause for hair loss related to certain hairstyles. If hair is pulled too tightly consistently, it could damage the hair follicles and result in thinning and loss around the affected areas. This is especially important to pay close attention to, as if this is not corrected in a timely fashion then it could develop into permanent hair loss.
How Do You Know When Hair Loss Is Too Much?
Some degree of hair thinning is natural for everyone over time, as are adjustments in our natural hairline. We simply do not have the same hairlines that we did when we were kids as we enter adulthood.
However, we are our best indicators of when hair loss is getting to be too much. If you find your hair to be shedding in clumps, or higher levels of hair are shedding from brushing and hair care over a prolonged period of time – and it’s affecting your confidence and self-worth – then it’s time to do something about it.
