Life-Cycle of Hair Growth

Before we look at why women suffer from hair loss it is important to understand the life-cycle of hair growth

Cycle of hair growth

• Anagen - This is the growing phase of hair
• Catagen - The resting phase of the hair fibres
• Telogen - Phase in which hairs are shed

ALOPECIA IN WOMEN?

Hair loss due to Androgenetic Alopecia is also found in women, although many women today are not aware of this fact. It is noticed later in life in females compared to males: in females androgenetic hair loss first becomes apparent in the 3rd -5th decade of life, whilst in men it appears in the 2nd or 3rd decade.

In women it is particularly likely to develop at times of hormonal change including those dictated by life-style choices. These will include initiation or stopping of the contraceptive pill, the period immediately after the birth of a baby (post-partum) or in the periods of time before and soon after the menopause. In most women with androgenetic hair loss there is no abnormal androgen production.

Many women who present with androgenetic hair loss in middle age can have experienced an exacerbation of their condition due to medical factors such as iron deficiency anaemia or a low activity of the thyroid gland (hypothyroidism)
