Hormonal fluctuations after stopping the pill can lead to hair loss, as the body needs time to adapt to the natural hormonal balance.
Some women experience a phase of hair loss after stopping the pill, known as "telogen effluvium", in which more hair goes into the resting phase and falls out.
During pregnancy, many women experience an increase in hair density and a decrease in hair loss. This is due to an increase in oestrogen levels, which promotes hair growth. After giving birth, many women experience increased hair loss. This is normal and is caused by hormonal changes after pregnancy. As a rule, hair loss normalizes within a few months after giving birth and hair growth returns to normal.
The menopause usually leads to hair thinning as oestrogen levels decrease and the effect of androgens such as testosterone increases. This can trigger androgenetic alopecia, where the hair on the top of the head, especially around the crown, becomes thinner. Other changes that occur during the menopause, such as hormonal fluctuations and reduced thyroid function, can also contribute to hair loss.

The "quickest" remedy for hair loss can vary depending on the cause and should be tailored to the individual case. It is therefore always advisable to consult a trichologist first to obtain a proper diagnosis before starting treatment.
Home remedies and natural therapies can help with hair loss, but their effectiveness is questionable. Commonly used ones include aloe vera to soothe the scalp, head massages to improve circulation, essential oils such as rosemary oil to promote hair growth, a balanced diet with vitamins and minerals, medicinal herbs such as nettle and coconut milk for nutrients.
As soon as significantly more hair than usual falls out over a period of several days, there could be pathological hair loss, which can last for several months or even permanently. In this case, it is always advisable to see a specialist.
Typical symptoms and patterns of hair loss in women include:
1. thinning at the crown
2. diffuse hair loss
3. loss of hair volume and density
4. receding hairline
5. possible formation of bald patches
Hair loss in men typically manifests as a receding hairline and baldness due to hereditary factors. In women, in addition to hereditary factors, diffuse thinning of the hair can often occur due to various factors such as hormonal changes, stress and malnutrition.
Men often experience a faster progression to baldness, while hair loss in women is slower and usually without bald patches. Overall, hair loss in men and women differs in patterns, causes, progression and treatment options.
Excessive or disease-related hair loss is when significantly more hair than usual falls out over a period of several days. Excessive hair loss also occurs when there are visible changes in the hair situation, such as a shimmering scalp, a receding hairline or bald patches.
The appropriateness of a hair transplant in women depends on various factors, including the cause of the hair loss, the extent of the hair loss, the availability of donor hair and the individual wishes and expectations of the patient. In general, transplantation in women is usually less of an option, as bald patches rarely occur in women and therefore transplantation makes little sense.
In addition, hormonal fluctuations associated with pregnancy, menopause or other hormonal changes can influence hair loss in women and significantly affect the outcome of a hair transplant.
Before a woman considers a hair transplant, it is important to have a thorough consultation with a specialist to determine the cause of the hair loss and discuss the best treatment options.
Hormones influence hair condition in women by regulating hair growth. Oestrogen promotes healthy hair growth, while certain male hormones such as testosterone and DHT can impair hair growth by shrinking hair follicles and thinning hair. Hormonal changes during puberty, pregnancy, menopause or when taking hormonal contraceptives can also affect hair condition.
