Male hormone or testosterone paves the way for Dihydroxy testosterone formation that adversely affects hair follicular function and disrupts hair regeneration cycle. This in turn results in hair fall. As for women, this type of hair loss happens to be of less severe kind. Most often they experience it during pregnancy and menopause.

Andropause and hair loss often go hand in hand. Imagine clumps of hair falling off your head, or observing strands of once healthy hair collecting in the shower drain. Maybe you run your hand through your hair and feel it thinning. It can feel daunting and quite scary. Typically, hair loss is a result of an imbalance of male testosterone hormone in the body. Instead of infusing the hair with healthy testosterone, enzymes break it down to a simpler form known as dihydrotestosterone.
An excess of this hormone has the effect of decreasing the size of hair follicles which eventually break down and make your hair fall off sporadically. The medical condition that is best associated with hair loss in Andropause sufferers is hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism is a by-product of decreasing levels of Human Growth Hormone, which is responsible for regulating our aging process.

A lot of women actually experience thinning hair loss and don't even know it. That's why noticing the condition only when it has gone too far may lead to feelings of worry, shock and confusion. It should therefore be part of every approach to women's health to at least give some basic information about hair fall in females. Here are some of the top facts every woman should know:
#1- Thinning characterizes most cases of female pattern balding.
Both men and women may experience hair thinning. In most balding men however, thinning will eventually progress to full bald scalp areas. For most women who have hair loss conditions, this is just about as far as it goes. Women rarely ever go completely bald or suffer from bald patches. Females who do have full, bald areas may be suffering from an autoimmune disorder or may have the kind of balding caused by tight hairstyles.

A great hair care regimen will include the following: a high quality shampoo, preferably an all natural one, a high quality conditioner, natural hair oils for a healthy scalp, and an all natural daily moisturizing lotion, cream, or serum. For added perks, a hair healthy hair care routine will also include a monthly hot oil treatment and protein treatments. Yet, many individuals don't employ such hair care regimens. In fact, African Americans often only shampoo their hair once or twice a month and left the rest of their hair care maintenance to the application of petroleum based hair "greases" and mineral oil based hair lotions. Likewise, those with European hair apply chemical laden mousses and gel daily to their hair; or, like me, are addicted to their CHI straightened only to be left with brittle hair and ends. Unfortunately, bi-weekly washes with poor shampoos and the application of traditional black hair moisturizers that are mineral oil or petroleum based will only lead to hair breakage, splitting, and thinning for African American hair. And, the continual highlights, mousse, and shaping gels, although great for a moment, will only wreak havoc on all hair types.

Females can be markedly different from males when it comes to hair fall because there are young women with hair loss. This is in contrast to the late age at which most men experience partial or full balding. This suggests that there can be a variety of reasons and causes behind falling hair in women. The reasons given below are only some of the possible causes of the condition in young women.
Hormonal Changes
Many women lose plenty of hair during the menopausal stage. This is because biological changes at this stage could lower the amount of estrogen in the body. Normally, estrogen balances testosterone levels which are a factor in hair loss. Although young women normally do not experience menopause yet, they are still likely to undergo some hormonal fluctuations at some point in their lives. Pregnancy or the period directly after that can also be a time for hormonal changes. Hence, women at this period in their lives may notice more falling hair than normal.

Grey hair in old days was the sign of reaching mid life or starting with old age. Hair greying can be termed as one of the first visible signs of aging.
Hair are an integral part of the vanity in men and women. Almost all people at one stage of life suffer from some hair problems like graying of hair, hair-fall, dandruff and baldness. Gray hair is caused when the follicle is unable to add color to the hair or when there is lack of melanin in the body. The hair follicle loses all pigment over time and eventually goes white. The white hairs against your darker hair give the effect of grey hair.
