Hair Constantly Falling Out With Telogen Effluvium And Androgenetic Alopecia?

Image
I sometimes hear from folks about their hair constantly falling out and they are trying very hard to determine what cause of hair loss they might experience. One concern that I often hear regarding this is how hair sheds out through out the day with different hair loss conditions. I might hear a comment like: "since my hair loss started after an illness, I suspect that I might have telogen effluvium. However, I have some miniaturized regrowth that bothers me.  So I suppose that it's possible that I might also have a touch of androgenetic alopecia. However, I have a friend with AGA and she tells me that she really doesn't lose a lot of hair. She says that she will notice some hair loss after she washes and then combs out her wet hair, but she doesn't notice loss that continues throughout the day.  My experience is almost the opposite. Of course, I notice the most loss when I wash my hair, but my hair continues to shed all day long. I can look down at my shirt a...

The Stigma of Hair Loss in Women - Hair Constantly Falling Out

Image
Hair loss in women is usually a result of one or more of the following: genetics, stress , hormones or pregnancy. Sometimes it is a symptom of an underlying medical condition that you see your hair constantly falling out , but even if it is not life threatening, there is still a huge stigma attached to a woman losing her hair.  This can put a woman under a lot of stress which can make the shedding more severe, making daily life that much tougher. Today's western society has become accustomed to airbrushed, perfected images of celebrities, especially women, and most school girls grow up with aspirations to look like some pretty pop star or model on the basis of 'they look good which makes them popular so I want to be and look like them'.  This image-obsessed culture makes it particularly difficult for those women who are experiencing the trauma of sudden extreme hair loss . From the outside we often sympathise with those who have lost hair as a result of medical con...

Causes of Sudden Extreme Hair Loss and the Solutions

Image
 This Scared Me to Death  I looked in the mirror one morning as I was getting ready to shave and could see a very thin patch where once I had hair! I couldn't believe it as I had always had such a big thick unruly mop of black hair.  I quickly got on my computer and started to research the causes of sudden extreme hair loss.   The Main Causes  I came across two main causes of sudden hair loss. The first is genetics and the second can be traced to being under a lot of stress .  For men if you look at your father and he has started to go bald at a young age then it is very likely that you will have it to look forward to also. If you are under extreme stress or are stressed long term then this can also lead to it.  Genetics  If the problem is inherited in your genes then it's unusual to experience a sudden loss of hair. It's much more likely that over time you will slowly see it thinning, as the hairline recedes you have less to bru...
