When a beautiful woman passes by, every head will surely turn, especially if a woman has a full head of silky smooth hair. The hair can affect the overall appearance of an individual. A beautiful, shining, and full of volume hair is a head-turner and this is every woman's dream. A lot of women have thinning hair and so they are very much concerned with the condition.

Thinning hair can cause a lot of worry and even stress. On the onset of hair thinning, you need to schedule an appointment with your doctor so that the cause can be immediately identified and the hair loss problem can be addressed.

Each hair strand is a compacted and extruded dead cell so all the things that your body takes in will show in your hair's appearance. Your hair can easily reveal where you have been and the conditions there. Doctors and hair specialists use diagnostic tools to examine the quantity and quality of your hair.

The hair is divided into several phases that include the resting phase and the shedding phase. These two phases are the most prominent because when the hair stops growing, it is already considered in the resting phase and after some time, it will begin to shed. It's quite ordinary to lose some hair every day but if you notice excessive shedding and thinning of hair, you definitely need immediate professional medical help.

What are the causes of thinning and hair loss? These causes are responsible disrupting the hair cycle. Here are some of the causes which can occur individually or in combinations:

1. Stress both physical and emotional
2. androgen sensitivity and hormonal imbalance
3. genetic reasons
4. irregularities in the immune system
5. nutritional deficiencies
6. disorders of the thyroid gland
7. harsh treatments and allergies due to cosmetics
8. chemotherapy/radiation
9. blood loss, dental treatment, drugs, diseases, surgery, and scarring

Every day you go through your life and you often encounter certain problems and situations that cause stress. If you become stressed upon realizing that your hair is thinning, you will lose more hair. Another cause is hormonal imbalance. Because of the changes in hormone production (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, androgen), the body is affected and it is reflected by the thinning and losing of hair. Pattern baldness on the other hand runs in the family because of genetic reasons. If either of your parents experienced thinning and hair loss, you're bound to suffer form it too.

Nutritional deviancies can also contribute to hair loss. As said earlier, whatever you put inside your body will reflect on your hair. This would include the foods you eat. Try to eat a balanced diet and have regular exercise. This way, you can correct the functions of your immune system and the problem with your thyroid.

By consulting a doctor, you can identify if you have an underlying disease. Once the disease is treated, hair thinning will stop. If you're taking medications, inform your doctor about the condition so that he can give you alternative medicines.

The causes of thinning hair in women will help you better understand your condition. By consulting an expert or doctor, you will eventually bring back the volume, shine, and beauty of your hair. Nonetheless, you can always try to learn ways to style your thinning hair; just ask your hair stylist about it.
