Female Hair Loss and Thinning

Hair loss or thinning hair can be distressing, particularly for women. For many women, hair is a big part of their identity, so if you’re experiencing hair loss or thinning due to illness or stress it can be upsetting. Not only can it result in a loss of confidence, but it can also have a significant impact on your quality of life and your mental health. If you are experiencing female hair loss, you may find that you no longer want to leave the house or socialise, and may no longer participate in things you once loved, for fear of being judged.

It is important to know however, that hair loss and thinning hair in women is not especially uncommon.

Many women experience a loss of hair for a variety of reasons, including growing older. At The Hair Alchemist, we look at the underlying cause of your hair loss in order to create a bespoke hair replacement system to help you get your confidence back!

Causes of Hair Loss in Women

Female hair loss can occur for a variety of reasons and varies in severity. Whilst some hair loss simply results in a thin appearance, in more severe cases hair loss can lead to baldness. Most people lose between 50 and 100 hairs per day; those suffering from certain conditions lose significantly more.

It is natural to lose more hair as we grow older however, hair loss can occur at any age. Some of the most common causes of female hair loss include:

  • Stress 
  • Illness such as alopecia
  • Iron deficiency
  • Cancer treatment
  • Weight loss
  • Hormonal imbalances
  • Menopause

If you feel that you’re losing more hair than you should be, or that your hair has become much thinner than usual, it’s best to speak to your GP so you can get to the root of the cause.  If necessary, we will refer you to a specialist who may be able to help treat your condition. We also offer hair extensions suitable for thin hair and hair loss, as well as integrated hair systems and wigs.

Female Hair Loss Treatment

In many cases, female hair loss is temporary and the hair will grow back when the root of the issue is addressed. For example, if you are experiencing hair loss due to stress, ensuring that you look after yourself, reducing the amount of stress in your life and taking steps to unwind should allow your hair to grow back. If your hair loss is due to a medical condition, age or as a result of cancer treatment however, this may not be the case.

If the underlying cause of the hair loss is something that can be addressed, such as an iron deficiency or hormonal imbalance, your GP may be able to prescribe medication or vitamins to stop the increased hair loss. Where the underlying cause is related to age, illness or cancer treatment, there may not be anything that can be medically prescribed. 

Whether you are waiting for treatment to begin working, or you are looking for alternative ways to get your hair back, hair replacement and hair extension systems may be the answer.

Hair Extensions for Thin Hair FAQs

Which hair extensions are best for thin hair?

Everyone’s hair is different, so our recommendations will vary, but we believe our miniature micro ring hair extensions are the best choice for people with thin hair.

The reason why these mini micro extensions are the most suitable is because they have small metal loops which are threaded through the extension and the natural hair and clamped shut in order to secure them. They are the smallest and most undetectable hair extensions available.

Which are the least damaging extensions for thin hair?

The mini micro ring hair extensions are completely damage-free when they are fitted properly by a reputable hair extension technician. They don’t cause damage because glue and any other harsh chemicals are not used, and they do not require any sort of adhesive or sewing. All that happens is that the hair is simply slotted into the mini micro ring along with the extension and clamped shut.
