In contrast to androgens, estrogen stimulates hair growth on the scalp while inhibiting hair growth elsewhere on the body. Estrogen helps the scalp hair grow faster and also extends hair’s life span on the head, with the result that the hair gets thicker.

Menopause, which is triggered by reduced levels of estrogen, is typically the time when many women experience hair loss. 

Variations in estrogen levels are also the reason why women’s hair gets fuller during pregnancy, while the estrogen levels are high, and then starts shedding a few weeks after the baby is born.

Other reasons why a woman might lose her hair include poor nutrition, improper grooming, weight loss, stress, medication or over-processing - to name a few.

It is estimated that about 20 million American women experience some type of hair loss. By some estimates 50% of all women in US will suffer from some loss of hair by the age of 50.
