Episode Synopsis

About 55 percent of women experience some hair loss by the age of 70. The most common cause is female-pattern baldness, an inherited condition. It's characterized by gradual thinning of your hair, which may be noticeable as a widening part or a ponytail that's less hefty than it used to be (according to the mayo clinic) Generally, humans shed between 50 and 100 single hairs per day. Hair shedding is part of a natural balance — some hairs fall out while others grow in. When the balance is interrupted — when hair falls out and less hair grows in — hair loss happens. Hair loss is different from hair shedding. The medical term for hair loss is "alopecia." In Today's episode we are discussing both hormonal and non-hormonal causes of hair loss. ~ The most common cause of hair loss ~ What women experience hair loss ~ What types of hair loss ~ What are hormonal causes ~ Other types of hair loss- Stress is one of them and I have freebie for you 25 simple ways to reduce stress Send me a DM on the gram @wellwomennetwork Are you subscribed to my podcast?
