What Is Male Pattern Baldness?

Do Women Lose Their Hair?

«

There are various severities of female hair loss. The most common cause of extreme shedding and hair loss in women is female pattern baldness, which could be caused by ageing, pregnancy, hereditary factors or medications. Alopecia, traction alopecia, cancer and trichotillomania are also causes. Simone Thomas Salon offers a variety of solutions for female hair loss and identify unique ways to increase your confidence.

What Are The First Signs That I Am Losing My Hair?

«

The number of hair strands normally lost in a day varies, but on average it’s around 100. In order to maintain a normal volume, hair must be replaced at the same rate at which it is lost. The first signs of hair thinning that women will often notice are more hairs than usual left in the hairbrush after brushing or in the basin after shampooing. Styling can also reveal areas of thinning, such as a wider parting or a thinning crown.

Do Children Suffer Hair Loss?

«

Children can suffer both permanent and temporary hair loss. We understand the frustration felt by both the parent and child, and can discuss options in a comfortable and relaxed setting.

Is My Medication Causing My Hair To Thin?

«

The side effects of some medicines can cause your hair to thin or fall out. Please talk to your GP if you suffer any side effects from taking medication. Also book in for a consultation at Simone Thomas hair loss clinic in Bournemouth so we can help with your hair needs. We are highly trained trichologists with experience in dealing with hair loss, thinning hair and scalp disorders.

What Is Alopecia?

Alopecia is widely known, yet there are huge variations of the condition that affect people for a short-term, or ongoing basis. Alopecia Areata, Scarring Alopecia, Anagen Effluvium and Telogen Effluvium are all hair loss conditions recognised by Simone Thomas Clinic, and we have a variety of non-surgical treatments to help.

What Is Traction Alopecia?

Trichotillomania, also known as trich, is when someone cannot resist the urge to pull out their hair. They may pull out the hair on their head or in other places, such as their eyebrows or eyelashes.

What Is Telogen Effluvium Hair Loss?

«

The sudden, diffuse hair loss from all over the scalp is called telogen effluvium and can be the result of improper nutrition, stress, hormonal upsets and pregnancy. A reduction in your hair’s diameter can also be influenced by these things, but is most often due to genetics, follicle sensitivity to hormones, and to age. Traumas such as major surgery, poisoning, and severe stress can result in telogen effluvium where many hairs enter the resting phase at the same time, causing shedding and subsequent thinning.

What Are The Most Common Reasons For Hair Loss In Women?

The most common cause of hair loss in women we see is anaemia and ferritin deficiency (iron deficiency).
