UNDERSTANDING HAIR LOSS IN WOMEN

Why is my hair thinning?

Hair loss in women can be caused by various factors. Here are some common reasons why women may experience hair loss:

Androgenetic Alopecia: This is the most common form of hair loss in both men and women. It is often hereditary and is caused by the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) shrinking hair follicles over time.

Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations due to pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, or conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can lead to hair loss in women. Changes in hormone levels can disrupt the hair growth cycle.

Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions and diseases can cause hair loss in women. These may include thyroid disorders (hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism), autoimmune diseases (such as alopecia areata), scalp infections, or skin conditions like psoriasis.

Medications and Treatments: Some medications can cause hair loss as a side effect. Examples include chemotherapy drugs, anticoagulants, beta-blockers, and certain birth control pills. Additionally, excessive use of harsh hair treatments like chemical relaxers, hot oil treatments, or excessive heat styling can damage the hair and lead to breakage.

Nutritional Deficiencies: Inadequate intake of essential nutrients, such as iron, zinc, vitamin D, or biotin, can affect hair growth and contribute to hair loss in women. Crash dieting or restrictive eating patterns may also cause hair thinning.

Emotional and Physical Stress: Severe emotional or physical stress can disrupt the hair growth cycle and lead to temporary hair loss. This condition is known as telogen effluvium. Stressors may include traumatic events, major surgeries, significant weight loss, or emotional distress.

Hairstyles and Hair Care Practices: Certain hairstyles that pull the hair tightly, like braids, ponytails, or cornrows, can cause a type of hair loss known as traction alopecia. Excessive tension on the hair follicles can lead to breakage and hair loss.

Ageing: Hair thinning is a natural part of the ageing process. As women age, the rate of hair growth slows down, and hair follicles may become smaller, resulting in thinner and less dense hair.

It's important to note that the causes of hair loss in women can be complex and often multifactorial. If you are experiencing hair loss or have concerns about your hair, it's recommended to consult a healthcare professional or a dermatologist who can provide a proper diagnosis and guidance for treatment options.

FEMALE PATTERN HAIR LOSS

LUDWIG SCALE | FEMALE PATTERN HAIR LOSS

1. Ludwig Stage I: This initial stage is characterized by mild hair thinning on the top of the scalp. The thinning is primarily noticeable around the parting line. However, the hairline remains intact, showing no signs of recession or significant changes. Hair loss may lead to a reduction in hair volume and density, but it is still relatively mild.

2. Ludwig Stage II: Moving into Stage II, hair loss becomes more noticeable and widespread. Moderate thinning occurs across a larger area of the scalp. The parting line widens, revealing more of the underlying scalp. Hair density continues to decrease, resulting in a more noticeable reduction in volume. While the frontal hairline may experience slight recession, it remains relatively stable.

3. Ludwig Stage III: At this stage, there is a significant progression of hair loss. Thinning becomes severe and affects the entire top of the scalp. The scalp becomes highly visible, and hair density is greatly reduced. Sparse or complete baldness may occur in the crown (vertex) area. The frontal hairline continues to recede, contributing to an overall appearance of advanced hair loss.

4. Ludwig Advanced Stage: Going beyond Stage III, the Ludwig Scale includes an advanced stage to describe severe hair loss. In this stage, there is extensive and widespread thinning, often resulting in significant baldness on the top of the scalp. The remaining hair is usually sparse and fine in texture. The frontal hairline may have receded significantly, leading to a more prominent forehead.

5. Ludwig Frontal Stage: This additional stage focuses specifically on frontal hair loss. It involves a receding hairline and thinning that predominantly affects the front portion of the scalp. While the thinning may extend into the vertex area, the primary pattern is concentrated in the frontal region.
