Understanding Hair Loss

Hair loss can happen to anyone and is influenced by a variety of factors, such as genetics, hormones, medical conditions, and lifestyle. The most common types of hair loss include:

Female Pattern Hair Loss (FPHL)

Also known as androgenetic alopecia, this hereditary condition is the most common cause of hair loss in women, often beginning around midlife and menopause so it’s thought that hormonal changes could also play a role. Symptoms include a widening part, thinning on the top of the head, and a thinner ponytail. FPHL affects about 30 million women in the United States.

Telogen Effluvium (TE)

Temporary hair shedding triggered by stress, hormonal changes, or illness. It’s characterized by excessive shedding and hair thinning but is often reversible. Some examples of when you might experience this is if you lose a lot of weigh, give birth, stop taking birth control pills, recovering from an illness, high fever, or surgery, or if you are going through a stressful time, like a divorce or job loss.

Alopecia Areata

An autoimmune disorder causing round bald patches on the scalp or other areas of the body. Hair can regrow but may fall out again in the same or new areas. Symptoms may include tingling, itching, or burning sensations and changes in nails.

Traction Alopecia

Caused by tight hairstyles such as ponytails, buns, or braids, this condition can lead to hair loss around the hairline or areas under tension. Over time, hair follicles can sustain permanent damage if the style persists.

If you’re unsure about the cause of your hair loss, our team can help diagnose and recommend effective solutions.

Causes of Hair Loss in Women

Hair loss in women can stem from multiple factors, including:

R

Genetics

Female pattern hair loss is hereditary and linked to sensitivity to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that causes follicles to shrink.

R

Autoimmune Conditions

Disorders like alopecia areata occur when the immune system attacks hair follicles.

R

Hairstyles

Tight styles like ponytails or braids can lead to traction alopecia over time.

R

Hormonal Changes

Hair loss is more common after menopause and can be influenced by hormonal fluctuations.

R

Stress

Both emotional and physical stressors can trigger telogen effluvium.

R

Other Factors

Poor diet, scalp infections, medications, and health conditions like PCOS or thyroid issues can also contribute.

Treatment Options

Medications

FDA-approved options like minoxidil and off-label treatments like spironolactone and finasteride.

Minoxidil

Minoxidil (Rogaine®) is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for FPHL. You can buy topical solutions — like foams, drops, or sprays — or you can get oral minoxidil tablets. Oral minoxidil isn’t FDA-approved, but it’s often prescribed off-label for hair loss. Minoxidil helps stimulate hair growth and make your hair look fuller and thicker. It may take three to six months to notice a difference.

Spironolactone

Spironolactone is a once-a-day tablet that can stop hair loss from progressing and encourage new hair growth. It’s especially useful for women with hormonal issues like PCOS. It may take six to 12 months to make a difference.

Finasteride

Finasteride (Propecia®) is FDA-approved for male pattern baldness, but it’s often prescribed off-label for female pattern hair loss. It targets the follicle-shrinking DHT hormone, and may take four months or longer to fully kick in.

Ketoconazole Shampoo

Ketoconazole shampoo is a medicated treatment that has shown promise in addressing certain types of hair loss, particularly those linked to inflammation and scalp conditions. Ketoconazole has anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe irritated hair follicles and create a healthier environment for hair growth. Scalp infections caused by fungi or yeast can contribute to hair loss. Ketoconazole targets these infections, improving scalp health and supporting hair regrowth.Some studies suggest that ketoconazole can inhibit the activity of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone associated with follicle shrinkage and hair loss in conditions like female pattern hair loss. Finally, by reducing dandruff, flaking, and other scalp conditions, ketoconazole shampoo helps maintain a clean, healthy environment conducive to hair growth.

Lifestyle Changes

 Here are some additional hair loss treatments and approaches you can try either alongside or instead of medication:

Supplements

Supplements like biotin can keep your hair strong and healthy. It might also be worth speaking to a healthcare provider about zinc and iron deficiencies to see if supplements could be useful for you.

Shampoos and Conditioners

Over-the-counter shampoos and conditioners can’t help you regrow hair, but they can help keep your hair as healthy as possible, reduce breakage, and make your locks look fuller and thicker.

Lifestyle Changes

Try mixing up your hair routine, wearing looser hairstyles, cutting down on blow drying, and practicing stress-management techniques like yoga and meditation.

Wigs

It’s not natural hair, but it is an option if you’re concerned about hair loss and perhaps want to avoid medical treatments or if other treatments haven’t worked for you.

Hair Loss FAQ’s

How do I know if my hair loss is normal or something to be concerned about?

Losing 50-100 hairs a day is normal. If you notice excessive shedding, bald patches, or thinning, it’s a good idea to consult a specialist.

Are treatments permanent?

Results vary depending on the treatment and individual. Many treatments require ongoing maintenance to sustain results.

What causes hair loss?

Common causes include genetics, hormonal imbalances, stress, nutritional deficiencies, and medical conditions.

Is hair loss reversible?

In many cases, yes! Early intervention and the right treatments can significantly improve hair growth and reduce further loss.

Which is better for hair loss, oral or topical minoxidil?

Both oral and topical minoxidil are effective treatments for hair loss, but their suitability depends on individual circumstances, including the cause of hair loss, preferences, and medical history. Here’s a comparison to help determine which might be better for you:

Oral Minoxidil

  • Effectiveness: Can be effective for people who don’t respond to topical treatments, as it delivers the medication systemically.
  • Usage: Taken as a low-dose pill, often more convenient than applying a topical product.
  • Side Effects:
    • May cause systemic effects such as fluid retention, low blood pressure, increased heart rate, or unwanted hair growth on the face or body.
    • Requires monitoring by a healthcare provider.
  • Availability: Often used off-label for hair loss and requires a prescription.
  • Best For: Those who cannot tolerate or have not had success with topical minoxidil.

Topical Minoxidil

  • Effectiveness: Proven effective for many people with androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern hair loss).
  • Usage: Applied directly to the scalp, typically once or twice daily. May feel greasy or irritate the scalp for some users.
  • Side Effects:
    • Limited to the area of application, such as scalp irritation, redness, or itching.
    • Minimal systemic absorption, reducing the risk of widespread side effects.
  • Availability: Widely available over the counter in 2% and 5% strengths.
  • Best For: Those with localized hair loss who prefer a non-systemic treatment.
