4. The Menopause

Following the menopause, the concentration of the oestrogen dramatically decreases. This drop may be large enough to allow testosterone (which can cause female hair loss as well as male baldness) to manifest itself on a woman's body.

Many women undergo hormone replacement therapy (HRT) after the menopause. This is to replace the oestrogen that their body subsequently lacks with something that will slow down the symptoms of ageing (including osteoporosis).

However, women should be aware of exactly what they’re putting into their bodies. Typically, HRT drugs containprogestogen (a synthetic version of the female hormone progesterone). However, progestogen is made from testosterone!

This means that thousands of women using HRT drugs to substitute their oestrogen deficiency are in fact replacing it with a derivative of a male androgen. The symptoms of which include hair loss!

5. An Ageing Population

People today are living much longer than ever. Statistically, the percentage of older people is increasing (when compared to the younger population). In consequence of this increase in longevity, the previous four reasons will, obviously, apply to more people.

Women generally live longer than men (by about four years on average). So, not only is there an increasing number of elderly people, but most of these will be women. However, due to a larger increase in obesity and smoking amongst women relative to men, it may well be that this life expectancy gap will reduce in the future.

Hair loss that appears to result from the ageing process is simply a reflection of the inability an older body has to grow hair as well as it used to.
