Why do women's hair fall out frequently?

Women always like to do something with their hair. They grow it long, dye it yellow or red, perm it, or straighten it. This seems to be a habit of most women in real life. However, women's hair is also fragile. Many women will find that their hair is slowly getting thinner. Every time they wash and comb their hair, a lot of hair falls down. So why do women lose their hair as they age?

Postpartum is the time period when women are most likely to lose hair, because during pregnancy, the body will naturally secrete a large amount of hormones, which can provide better hormonal conditions for hair growth. However, after a woman gives birth, the hormone level will suddenly decrease, and the hair will naturally fall out. However, if it is postpartum hair loss, it will recover naturally in about half a year, so women do not need to have too much psychological pressure.

Stress is another major cause of hair loss. The fast-paced lifestyle forces many women to work from nine to five every day like men, staying up late to work overtime, and high mental pressure has become a common problem for many women. This really proves the saying that the more you think, the less hair you have.

Excessive hair dyeing, perming, and unscientific hair washing methods seem to be a common occurrence for women to change their hairstyle frequently, but they don’t know that many hair care products actually contain chemicals that have a great impact on scalp health. If used for a long time, the hair quality will deteriorate, turn yellow, and eventually lead to hair loss. Therefore, you should know when to change your hairstyle and the most important thing is to choose hair products with relatively few side effects.

Dieting can cause malnutrition. Similarly, hair also needs nutrition to grow healthily. In real life, many female friends choose to diet to lose weight in pursuit of a so-called slim figure. Eating less will naturally lead to malnutrition. Even if you don’t lose your hair in the long run, your black hair will become dry and yellow. Especially when the scalp lacks iron absorption, hair loss will become more serious.

Diseases, certain diseases of the body, such as metabolic diseases, can also cause hair loss. In addition, some cancers, or chemotherapy during the treatment process can also cause hair loss. Even more, when a person has a high fever, or is in a state of continuous fever, it will damage the hair root tissue.

Experts say that certain ingredients in birth control pills can also cause hair loss in women. Therefore, if you find that you have hair loss problems after taking birth control pills, you should stop taking them.

Hair that is tied too tightly, such as various ponytails and curling bands, will damage the roots of the hair and cause hair loss problems. Therefore, you should not tie your hair too tightly in daily life, especially when your hair is very dry.

In short, there are many reasons for female hair loss. For female friends, preventing hair loss should not only start from these causes, but also learn to use scientific methods to care for their hair in daily life. For example, when combing your hair, don’t use too much force, comb it in the right direction, and pay attention to choosing conditioner. If there are tangles in your hair after washing, you should untie them before combing. After washing your hair, you should dry it quickly, but try to reduce the use of a hair dryer. If you must use one, the temperature should not be too high.
