Female hair loss is sometimes overlooked as it is assumed that women don't 'lose their hair' and this condition is attributed to men and male pattern balding. Women's hair loss is sometimes rooted in conditions that female specific related to:
Hormones ie
Menopause
Blood loss via menstrual issues
Child birth
Thyroid imbalances
Stress and other deficiencies in one's hormones or nutritional profile
Hair loss can come in many forms, with various types of loss patterns.
My personal hair loss experience has been a battle with anemia rooted in early signs of endometriosis in my teens and nutritional challenges in my teenage diet.
I oftentimes took my long, fairly healthy hair for granted then because I didnt know how serious anemia could be or that female hair loss was only extreme like alopecia.
I have posted a series of photos below showing my hair fairly long and healthy, broken and weak with a severe iron depletion, a big hair cut and then re-growth.
Products like Rogaine are NOT recommended for reproductive age women, so I knew I had to get to the bottom of this and find another way. With the support of my acupuncturist, supplementation and my own herbal experiments with gentle home made, chemical free hair serums, washes and dry shampoos I re grew the health of my hair and did not contribute to damage of follicles. I also found a wonderful hair dresser who respects my delicate hair and knows how to treat my ringlets
