Can hair fall in women occur in the 30s?
When you age, there are several questions you start asking yourself, questions about weight, wrinkles, and hair loss. All these tend to create fear in the mind of a woman. The fear of losing your hair as you approach 30 is normal. According to the global Google statistics, 59% of women start looking for hair fall solutions between 25-44 years of age.
Although the good news is that hair fall does not only depend on age, it can have its own set of triggers. The three common triggers to hair fall include:
-
Stress:
Stress caused due to illness, surgery, breakups, loss of job, death in the family, or change in medicines can trigger hair fall problems. It stops your hair from growing during the growth phase.
-
Dietary issues:
Dieting is assumed to help with weight loss, but people fail to understand the side effects like; your body storing the food to save itself from starving or having vitamin and nutrient deficiency in the body. Hair loss caused due to stress may grow back in time, but hair loss due to protein and vitamin deficiency can limit the ability of regrowth.
-
Hormonal imbalance:
Hormonal changes caused due to thyroid problems, PCOD, pregnancy, and congenital adrenal hyperplasia can all lead to a hair loss problem.
Your hair fall problems can differ from one another. There are four types of hair loss in women that include:
-
Androgenetic alopecia:
It is commonly known as female pattern baldness, caused by genetics or family history. It can affect women between the age group of 12 to 40 years. Women may start noticing visible bald patches on the scalp.
-
Cicatricial alopecia:
It is a hair fall condition that is irreversible. In this type, after hair loss, the follicles are replaced with scar tissue – a thick tissue that replaces good skin after an injury or damage.
-
Traction alopecia:
In this type, harsh hair styling can cause hair to fall. The shaft breaks due to the use of hot combs, hair straighteners, or certain chemicals.
-
Alopecia areata:
It is a sudden loss of hair in patches on the scalp. In this type, the patches start forming in one or more round bald patches.
Here are some natural remedies that can treat hair fall problems effectively. These remedies include:
-
Egg:
It is rich in proteins, vitamin B12, zinc, iron, selenium, and omega-6 fatty acids that accelerate hair growth.
Break an egg and whisk it well. Then add two teaspoons of olive oil to mix. Apply it evenly on your scalp and later rinse it off with a natural hair fall control shampoo. This egg mask will help reduce hair fall problems effectively.
-
Onion juice:
Onions have antibacterial properties that can help fight scalp infections and improve blood circulation.
You can extract the juice of two onion peels in a bowl. Apply this juice on your scalp and along the lengths of your hair. Keep it on for 30 minutes, and then rinse it with water.
-
Gooseberry:
It is commonly known as amla, rich in vitamin C, iron, calcium, and antioxidants that can help keep hair follicles healthy.
Slice the amla and remove its seeds. Grind to prepare a juice and apply it to the scalp with your fingers. Keep it on for 20 minutes, and then rinse it with cold water.
-

Aloe vera is rich in Vitamins A, C, E, B, Copper, Zinc, and Choline. It can help repair the dead cells on the scalp and speed up the hair growth process.
