There’s nothing more horrifying for a women than to see that her hair is falling out far more extensively and quicker than it should (Normal is 100-150 strands a day). Each hair will grow for 2-6 years, go through a short dormant period and then fall out as the follicle pushes through a new hair. When new hairs do not replace the old ones or when the hair is coming out in clumps, there is certainly cause for concern.
Female hair loss has several different causes – some temporary, some permanent. Temporary causes can include pregnancy, anxiety and stress, too many strong treatments (coloring, bleaching), too much manipulation, illness, disease, and infections of the scalp.

Though both men and women can suffer significant hair loss, over 50% of men will suffer with Male Pattern Baldness (MPB), also known as androgenetic alopecia, at some period in their lives. The reason for hair loss is a genetically inherited touchiness to Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and 5-alpha-reductase. The enzyme 5-alpha-reductase converts testosterone, a male hormone, to DHT, the substance identified as the end-cause for hair loss.
Hair loss has been noticed and studied all through the ages, and some intriguing discoveries were made in ancient times. For one it was noticed that eunuchs: those males lacking genitals-never went bald. Men who were castrated as a effect of accidents in battle also never went bald. This was the first inkling that testosterone had something to do with hair loss.
It has also been found that the more recessive the hair gene, the more inclination for baldness one has. Blond-haired people possess a larger propensity for hair loss than darker-haired individuals, and thus Caucasian persons have a greater propensity for hair loss than non-Caucasian individuals.
