There are numerous factors that might result in hair loss (alopecia). The most efficient treatments will be determined by the reason for the hair loss.

Depending on the cause of hair loss, certain practices and treatments may help strengthen or regrow hair.

Here are some causes of hair loss and how they can be treated.

1. Androgenetic alopecia

Androgenetic alopecia is another term for male or female pattern baldness. It is a very common cause of hair loss.

Both male and female pattern baldness is genetic. Males tend to lose hair from the temples and crown of the head. In females, hair usually becomes thinner all over the head.

Androgenetic alopecia is more likely to happen as a person ages but can start at any point after puberty. Many females who experience androgenetic alopecia develop it after going through the menopause. This means that hormones may have something to do with it.

Treatment

It is possible to treat this condition with minoxidil, a medication for hair growth.

2. Pregnancy

Some women may experience excessive hair loss shortly after giving birth. This is due to a decrease in estrogen levels. This type of hair loss is a temporary condition and usually resolves within a year or sooner.

Treatment:

To help hair return to its normal condition, try:

• using a volumizing shampoo and conditioner
• using products designed for fine hair
• avoiding intensive conditioners or conditioning shampoos as these can be too heavy for fine hair.
