There are many hidden causes, factors and risks lurking that can cause you to have to say goodbye to your precious locks sooner than you wished for. But don't worry sweetheart, because in addition to the causes of hair loss, we are also going to give you some tips and tricks on how you can reduce the risks of hair loss as a woman.
WHAT ARE THE ACTUAL CAUSES OF HAIR LOSS?
To get a better idea in the reasons why hair loss occurs and why hair loss can occur faster with some than in others, we have figured out the following for you. Hair loss in women is best divided into two groups, internal and external causes. This is because men generally suffer less from external hair loss causes, such as dyeing your hair or using straighteners or curling irons. Men, on the other hand, suffer more from hereditary hormonal hair loss which can be seen as an internal cause for hair loss.
Internal hair loss causes, you can already guess, are caused by processes from within the body. An example is having autoimmune disease or a deficiency of essential vitamins. External hair loss causes are caused by all the exposures your hair has with the outside world, such as the air outside or the use of grooming products.
INTERNAL CAUSES HAIR LOSS
Internal hair loss causes originate from within your body and can be hereditary. Hair loss caused by an internal cause is usually an indicator of a vitamin or mineral deficiency, an underlying medical or hereditary situation or the result of a prolonged stressful experience or event. It is possible for multiple internal/external hair loss causes to occur in one person, this occurrence accelerates the process of hair loss and is often called extreme hair loss. This occurs mainly in men, however, women can also experience this extreme form of hair loss.
We've listed the most common internal hair loss causes for you below:
- Hereditary hair loss, also called Alopecia Androgenetica
- Stress-induced hair loss caused by the stress hormone Cortisol
- Hair loss due to disease, common is disease of the thyroid gland or some autoimmune diseases
- Hair loss due to diet, this usually deals with deficiencies of vitamins and minerals but can also occur with an excess. The vitamins required are Iron, Zinc, Biotin and Folic Acid.
- Hair loss due to side effects of Medications or Treatments, example is the loss of hair caused by side effects of chemotherapy.
Thinner hair? Get your rest first!
It is important if you want to stop hair loss, the first thing to start is to improve your physical and mental health. Adequate rest and a healthy diet are essential in restoring your hair. This is because hair growth, like muscle growth, is given a chance to recover and grow during rest time. However, it is important that the body has adequate nutrition and vitamins during rest. The nutrition and vitamins come mainly from animal products, should you not be a fan of animal products, it is wise to take hair growth supplements and vitamins as a substitute.
EXTERNAL CAUSES HAIR LOSS
The external causes of hair loss come from all external actions, changes and experiences that have an impact on your hair. External hair loss causes pose the greatest danger to women because, on average, they have longer hair than men. The longer your hair is, the more risk you have of developing hair breakage. Hair breakage is often the result of dehydrated and exhausted hair, which is why it is important to properly nourish your hair with quality and natural hair products, such as our all-natural Elixir of Life Hair Growth Serum.
On top of this, compared to men, women use certain beauty rituals and routines that greatly increase the chances of hair breakage and hair loss. We have described below some scenarios that are better to avoid if you want to combat hair loss as a woman.
How to prevent hair loss ladies? Make sure you avoid the situations below in the future!
- Hastily and roughly drying your wet hair after showering with a regular towel
Swap your rough towel for a soft multi-fiber cloth and be careful and gentle when drying your hair. Also, be sure not to wash your head and hair with hot water. If you can't resist that hot shower, make sure the shower head is aimed at your back and you have your hair tucked into a hair net.
- Sleeping on a usual cotton or synthetic pillowcase
A silk pillowcase is super smooth, reducing friction with your hair. Friction damages your hair and causes hair loss. In addition, silk contains hypoallergenic qualities that contribute positively to the health of your scalp.
- Choosing tightly braided hair styles such as tight braids, ponytails or dreadlocks.
Braiding of the hair puts pressure on the hair follicles, stretching them to far. The grip of the hair follicle weakens causing hair loss. This is often the cause of a receding hairline in a woman. In addition, the hair also breaks along its length due to the knots that are created. Try to avoid long periods of time with these hair styles.
- Styling, curling and drying your hair through high temperatures.
Modeling and styling your hair under high temperatures almost immediately damages your hair through dehydration. There is a high chance of permanent hair damage if you use this method regularly. Be sure to moisturize your hair directly with a moisturizing hair serum after your date.
- The use of cheap unnatural hair products, containing alcohol, silicones and parabens.
Ladies it goes without saying that you shouldn't put junk in your hair, even if you just scored that 3 for the price of 1 shampoo promotion at Walmart. It’s not worth it, because silicones will clog your hair follicles, alcohol dries out your hair and increases the risk of hair breakage. You should try to purchase some natural high-quality haircare products and avoid these unnecessary risks.
