August is national hair loss awareness month, so it’s the perfect time for the team at Patrick Gildea Hairdressing in Letterkenny to share their guide to the causes of hair loss and the treatments they offer:
People tend to think of hair loss mainly as a male issue, mostly affecting older men in particular.
However, many women are also confronted with reduced volume and thinning at some point in their lives, which can have a negative impact on self-esteem and confidence.
Hair loss in women can happen for a number of reasons. Stress, diet, medication, hormonal changes and even a hereditary predisposition for balding can all be contributing factors towards thinning and losing hair.
Kiera Galbraith – Patrick Gildea Hairdressing
Kiera Galbraith, one of the specialists in thinning hair at Patrick Gildea Hairdressing, says “At any given time, around 85% of your hair is in a growth phase, known as the anagen phase. The remaining 15% is spent in the telogen resting phase, meaning that it has reached its complete growth potential and will eventually shed. This is the reason why it’s completely natural for both men and women to shed a small amount of hair on a day-to-day basis.
“Hair loss occurs when certain triggers, such as those mentioned above, interrupt the healthy growth cycle and far more hair than usual enters the shedding phase, resulting in noticeable areas of hair loss.
“Due to the ever-changing nature of hormones throughout our lives, women are particularly vulnerable to some unique hair loss triggers attributed to hormonal change, such a pregnancy and menopause.”
