Hair loss in women

Hair loss is not exclusively a male problem. Did you know that during menopause, a woman's hormone levels become imbalanced and interfere with hair growth. 

What could be the cause of hair loss?

We lose up to 60 hairs daily, which is a common occurrence. However, if more than 100 hairs accumulate each day in your brush, it is time to investigate the source. A number of factors may be to blame if the hair thins out, follicles swell, or the hairline recedes. Here are some of the potential reasons for hair loss (alopecia) in women going through menopause. 

Androgenetic alopecia (menopausal hair loss)

Hormonal changes that occur during and after menopause are the main causes of androgenetic alopecia (male hormone-induced hair loss). The male hormone testosterone's enhanced impact on the hair development cycle and the hair roots is the source of the problem. 

Our hair's growth cycle 

Overview of the hair root growth cycle:

Our hair’s growth cycle is divided into three phases:

1. The stage of active growth. During this stage, hair growth occurs. This process can take between two to six years.
2. The transition phase (catagen), lasting a few weeks, in which the hair gradually detaches from the hair root.
3. In the resting phase (telogen), the hair completely separates from the hair root and falls out during this phase. Then the roots of the hair start to grow back. It can take two to six months to complete this. Once the cycle is complete, a new active growth phase begins with the production of new hair by the hair root.

The hormone balance influences hair growth

The entire cycle can take several years to complete, and each hair experiences it at a different time. There is a maximum number of growth cycles for each individual hair. Thus, the hair can no longer grow back at the end of these cycles. 

The level of oestrogen, a female hormone, drops with the beginning of menopause. As a result, testosterone's influence—which may have a harmful effect on the roots of the hair—increases. A hormonal imbalance may result from this, shortening the cycles of hair growth. This could then lead to shorter and thinner regrowing hair.  

Stress-related hair loss in women 

Additionally, stress has been linked to hair loss in women. Reduced hair growth and hair loss may result from an imbalance in the energy process, which may be caused by stress at work or lack of sleep, for example.

Manifestation of hair loss in women during the menopause 

The classic symptoms of hair loss include thinned hair, early hair loss, obvious partings, and receding hairlines (alopecia). Androgenetic alopecia is one reason women experience hair loss. 

Hair loss due to the menopause 

Female hormones (oestrogen) become less abundant throughout menopause. Male hormones (testosterone) have a greater impact on the hair roots as a result. The hair may therefore seem thinner, have a thinner feel, and lose its centre parting due to androgenetic alopecia. 

Most of the time, this process is gradual, but it drastically worsens during and after menopause. Androgenetic alopecia affects men just as much as women do. Although a receding hairline can frequently afflict men as early as puberty, female hair does not begin to thin at the parting to the point where the scalp is visible until menopause. According to research, up to 50% of all women over 50 and younger women have some degree of androgenetic alopecia. 

The diagram below illustrates possible signs of androgenetic alopecia, you can see the hair around the parting thins or the hairline recedes:

Why is hair affected? 

This typically results from declining oestrogen levels, which once shielded female hair roots from testosterone. Oestrogen's proportion falls and the influence of male hormones rises throughout menopause. Unexpected adverse effects include thinning, early hair loss, increased scalp visibility, and receding hairlines in women. However, there is hope for many impacted women. 

A Phyto-Caffeine Complex aids in preventing hair loss in menopausal women. Along with an active component combination made up of phytoflavonoids obtained from white tea or the soy plant, it also contains caffeine, zinc, and niacin.

What can Plantur 39 do against this? 

Dr Wolff-Research created a phyto-caffeine compound in partnership with the dermatology division of the Jena University Clinic to guard the hair roots from hormone-induced states of weariness. 

It stops testosterone from attacking the hair follicles and limiting the energy flow.

Maintaining hair growth 

The Phyto-Caffeine Complex shields the hair roots from menopausal-related decreased growth. 

This complex can reach the hair shaft and make up for the shortage of energy when using the Plantur 39 products. Thus, the caffeine must go to where it is needed. It must therefore be applied locally, that is, directly to the scalp.

Use the Phyto-Caffeine Shampoo to wash your hair, allowing it to sit on your hair from application to rinse for two minutes. 

On days when you do not wash your hair with caffeine shampoo, use the Phyto-Caffeine Tonic. After massaging the tonic into your scalp, let it air dry. It is not necessary to rinse it out. 

Plantur 39 case study

A case study by the Center for Experimental and Applied Cutaneous Physiology and Clinical Research Center for Hair and Skin Science at the Charité University Clinic, Berlin, conducted a test on the penetration of caffeine from the caffeine-containing shampoo formula by Plantur 39. 

The study's findings support Plantur 39's claim that the caffeine-containing shampoo's active caffeine may penetrate the scalp and have an effect there because of its unique composition. The caffeine is kept in the hair follicles for at least 24 hours if the caffeine-containing shampoo by Plantur 39 is used daily.
