Ever wondered why you lost that hair during that stressful spell at work? Or why a third of those strands fell out during your pregnancy? Sandy and Chan go deep on the three types of hair loss that affect one in five people. Hair loss can be caused by many reasons: pregnancy, stress, trauma, disease, treatment for disease (such as chemotherapy) or the natural aging process. Scientifically, these types are known as male-pattern hair loss, female-pattern hair loss, alopecia areata, and a thinning of hair known as telogen effluvium.
Here are some of the treatments and products we mentioned in the episode:
Oral Minoxidil -- here’s a great article, 10 things you need to know about minoxidil for hair loss from Dr. Jeff Donovan, a Canadian dermatologist, who’s at the forefront of using minoxidil to treat hair loss.
And here’s a study from Dr. Renee A. Beach, another dermatologist using minoxidil to treat hair loss -- even in women.
