Hair loss is attributable to various factors such as aging, heredity and testosterone. Usually, men and women lose hair thickness as they age. Inherited baldness affects more men than women. Men, however, who do not produce testosterone do not develop baldness patterns. Meanwhile, women develop a hair loss due to genetics, age and pregnancy. Sometimes, abrupt physical or emotional tension could lead one to lose half of the hair throughout the scalp. The hair shedding will stop only after 6 to 8 months. This stress could be stimulated by severe infections, childbirth, major illnesses, severe emotional stress, medications and crash dieting.

There are some women between the age of 30 and 60 years that may observe that their hair is thinning out. Many have described that this hair loss sets off heavy, with lots of strands stuck in combs or dropping out in showers but will bit by bit decrease as they get older. There is still no identified cause for this type of hair loss. Hair loss which results from menopause or childbirth normally returns to normal within 6 months to 2 years.

If you, however, had a hair loss because of radiation therapy or other sicknesses, treatment is not needed. Your hair will naturally grow back until your body returns to its normal state.

Women who love hair pieces should abstain from suturing the hair accessories to the scalp as it runs the danger of scars and infection. For deep and excessive hair loss, it is best to see a doctor.
