Hair loss in females

Hair loss is not a common problem in females. Main reason for hair loss in females is the over stressed life style which they live throughout the day.
A big number of females are living a stress life and suffer unwanted hair fall out. One among the ten adults across the UK is enduring hair loss or pre-mature baldness due to stress.
Females have started facing the problem of hair fall more than males, with over 74% saying that they live a stressed life in comparison to 59% of males.
The married female’s generations who have been trying to maintain all - work, home, relationship and raise children - are the worst hit. These Females pay the price for long hours at work and home with stress-related illnesses.
Many of the survey report says that females who are between the age group of 35 and 45 are the most likely to suffer from stress-related conditions, and almost 12 percent of females say stress makes their hair fall out compared to just eight per cent of males.
Alopecia Areata, where random bald patches on the head occur, is normally a result of stress which can turn into alopecia totalis, complete baldness, like that television presenter Gail Porter has suffered. Gail lost all her hair due to stress after the breakdown of her marriage.
One of the survey reports says that the most common cause of stress is tight work schedule, while one third of respondents naming that as the most stressful aspect of their life. Around 41 percent says that stress makes them smoke or drink more and a whopping 81 percent says that they argue more with their friends and family when stressed.
One in two women says that they can’t sleep at night and a whopping 72 percent says that they turn to comfort eating to ease their stress.
