Types Of Female Pattern Hair Loss
There are many types of hair loss. Most types of hair loss are also connected to hormones in some way. Women have a greater fluctuation in their hormone levels than men (due to menstruation, pregnancy and the menopause). Thinning hair, damage hair, slow growing hair, female pattern hair loss, etc., are common problems of hair loss. But there are types of hair loss. The first one is Androgenic Alopecia, mostly affects men. However, as the name suggests, this type involves genetic inheritance, and so can be passed on from parent to child (both male and female). Chronic Telogen Effluvium (CTE) is the second most common type of hair loss after Androgenic Alopecia and, between them, these two types account for as much as 95% of all female hair loss cases. Telogen Effluvium can be connected to many things including nutritional deficiency. This deficiency is largely due to iron depletion (from menstruation cycles). It can build up slowly over many years and lead to CTE. Vegetarians might also experience CTE (including men).
The treatment required for one type may differ from another, so it’s important to seek professional advice and find out exactly what type you have.
