Female Hairloss and Weight

Hairscience - Hair loss among women is not an unusual problem. In one study, 34% of women from Japan, the USA, and the UK reported increased hair loss compared to 5 years earlier. The reasons for hair loss are complicated and can vary from person to person. Thus, it is important to see Hairscience who can diagnose the specific problem.

In some cases, hair loss can be diet-related. Hairscience states that many of their female clients have experienced Hair loss during rapid weight loss. In one study, hair grew back within a few months after weight loss. In other cases, there are less obvious nutritional reasons for hair loss.

Hair loss can be divided into two categories: Hair loss with skin shedding (also called "scaling") and hair loss without skin shedding. Hair loss with skin shedding is likely related to a skin disorder. In some cases, supplementation with the vitamin biotin (1 - 2 mg for 2 months) has helped and is evident in the female hairloss therapy at Hairscience clinics. Essential fatty acids (omega 3s and/or omega 6s) might also help in hair loss caused by skin conditions.
