Why have so many young women suffering from hair loss these days?

Really interesting to read everyone's answers!





I have two friends that suffer from it, neither are hairstyle junkies, the both put the hairloss down to stress.Why have so many young women suffering from hair loss these days?
unhealthy diet, over brushing, too many chemicals used on hair, underactive thyroid problems, alopesia (soz not sure on the spelling), perms, colours, etc etc


xWhy have so many young women suffering from hair loss these days?
stress, and they are trying all kinds of crazy stuff out there provided for them in the market! our looks matter thats what makes us go crazy and i think hair gots alot to do with alot of products that we are using, but as long as you eat healthy and drink water and be stress free then you will have healthy hair and not have hair loss, oh yeah also it can be passed on in the genes
Poor diets.
Stress!
I think stress, colours, straightening or curling them, etc.
hair extensions
due to all the products and hair extentions etc
Hormones.. The constant introduction of a new types of birth control, incourages young women to switch. Then the hormones have to adjust, often causing hair loss.
ever heard of the croyden face lift. well tis is when girls pull their hair back really tight to get what is known as the slick effect. it doesnt help if they put tonnes of gel, extentions, and stuff like that on their hair.
Too much hair abuse, products, chemicals, coloring, dying, relaxing, excessive washing, brushing, whatever.





Poor diet/stress and genetics lastly.
numerious factors. stress being one, health problems e.g. underactive thyroid gland. having children and bad diet. can all contribute to hair loss. oh and over processed hair from continued dying of the hair. hope this helps.
Yes i totally agree with you and i was having this problem too. Firstly these days we are so concious about having a great body that we starve ourselves and therefore we dont get the nutritions our hair requires. On top of that all the hair dying, extensions and perming we do plus most women work these days as well as manage the housework so all that mental stress. Obviously we'll go bald way before the men do.
If you mean why are so many women suffering from premature baldness I think it's down to all the crap they use on their hair, what with all the chemicals and fancy heat treatments it's no wonder the stuff gives up and falls out ! ! !
Because they put some much crap on it
by ';dieting'; instead of learning about proper nutrition and health. That, along with stress, changes in the environment, air quality, etc., and genetic engineering of food and addition of pesticides and hormones to things we eat and have no clue about. It's a wonder it's just hair that's lost and not lives...
alopecia can be caused by stress, i had it when i was 11 and life is sposed to be more stressful nowadays so...
