Hi Morgan,





Diagnosing the causes of hair loss in women





Telogen Effluvium is a state when there are more follicles which are moved into a resting state. This kind of hair loss can also be associated with childbirth or change in hormonal birth control. The side effects of emotional and physical stress can also trigger telogen effluvium.





The hair loss during menstrual cycle or during pre-and-post menopausal periods can resolve itself naturally. This is simply because it is a common experience among women in their age.





Hair loss that is caused by stress can be prevented by taking vitamins and food supplements that will help boost hair growth. But a tender loving care (TLC) for the hair is the best way to prevent hair problems.
hair loss is not a side effect of breastfeeding, however it's not uncommon for hair to recede when pregnant. My hairdresser actually noticed this after i gave birth. Chances are you aren't going to keep receding since your hormones have hit there peak. Show your stylist next time you're in, and they can recommend a cut to mask the hair loss. Chances are, only you notice it and no one else.





Hope that helps.
