Hair Loss for Women

At L'Elite Medical Wigs, we believe in providing compassionate support and guidance to women experiencing hair loss.

Hair loss in women can occur for various reasons and is more common than most people realize.

By understanding the causes and implications, you can better navigate your journey toward finding a solution.

Common Causes of Hair Loss in Women

Hair loss in women can happen for various reasons, including medical conditions, hormonal changes, or certain hair care practices.

Some common causes include:

Androgenetic Alopecia: Also known as female-pattern hair loss, is a hereditary condition affecting millions of women. It typically manifests as a gradual hair thinning, most notably at the crown and frontal scalp.

Telogen Effluvium: This type of temporary hair loss occurs when many hair follicles on the scalp enter the resting (telogen) phase of the hair growth cycle simultaneously, leading to excessive shedding and noticeable thinning.

Alopecia Areata: An autoimmune disorder causing unpredictable, patchy hair loss that can progress to total scalp hair loss (alopecia totalis) or total body hair loss (alopecia universalis).

Traction Alopecia: Hair loss caused by hairstyles that pull tightly on the roots, such as braids, ponytails, or extensions.

Hormonal Changes: Conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid problems, or changes due to menopause can lead to hair loss.

Coping with Hair Loss

Hair loss can be particularly distressing for women as hair is often associated with identity and femininity. It's essential to remember that you're not alone in this journey, and there's a community ready to provide support and understanding.

Our cranial prosthesis specialist is available for consultations to help guide you toward the best solution to meet your unique needs.

Remember, it's important to consult your healthcare provider if you're experiencing significant hair loss. They can provide more detailed information about the potential causes and treatments, including the possibility of a cranial prosthesis prescription, which your insurance may cover.

At L'Elite Medical Wigs, we are dedicated to guiding you through this journey with empathy and professionalism.
