Normal Hair Growth Cycle





The hairs on your head do not all grow at the same time in the exact same way. There are 3 stages in the hair growth cycle. In the Anagen stage the hairs grow. This stage can last anywhere from 2 to 10 years and affects about 85% of your hairs at any given time. In the Catagen stage also known as the transition stage - the time between growth and rest. In this stage only about 1% of your hair and only lasts about 2 weeks. Many professionals combine this stage with the Telogen or resting stage. The Telogen stage affects only about 15% of your hairs and can last up to 6 weeks.





Hormonal Effects on Hair Loss





Hormone levels can affect hair loss in the following manner. They can cause hair loss to happen more quickly. Hormones can also accelerate hair growth of a large number of hairs at once and some months later go into the resting stage and fall out.





Estrogens during pregnancy extend the growth stage. Months after delivery the hairs that grew will all go into the resting stage and then fall out. The hairs will return to the normal growth pattern eventually.





Birth Control-Oral Contraceptive Effects





Hormone Replacement Therapy - HRT hormones contain estrogens. These can as has been mentioned accelerate the growth stage. You may find that a few months after starting HRT that your hairs begin to fall out giving the appearance of hair loss. The hairs that grew all at the same time will also go into the resting stage and eventually fall out. This will eventually end and hair will return to the normal growth cycle.





Birth Control in the form of oral contraceptives in younger women will act like HRT does in older women. If you are a younger woman you may not notice the hair growth necessarily because younger women generally have thicker hair. They will however, notice the hair loss that will likely occur a few months down the road after beginning the use of oral contraceptives.





If you are concerned about this pattern of hair loss consult your doctor. It is not recommended at this point to stop the hormones because a couple of months after you stop them you will still lose hair.





Conclusion





Hormones whether they are a result of pregnancy or Hormone Replacement Therapy will affect the normal hair growth pattern. Estrogens (female hormones) can speed up hair growth of many hairs all at once. At the end of pregnancy or some months later the hair that grew will go into rest and fall off. This is not a permanent condition as hair will return to the normal cycle eventually. Hair loss (from) birth control does happen but doesn't last forever.Did any of you have hair loss issue due to stopping birth control? If so,what did you do to help it?
