Hairloss due to Autoimmune Disease - Alopecia Areata
Another important cause of hair loss in women is a condition called alopecia areata, an autoimmune disease that affects more than two per cent of the population.
In this, the hair follicles are attacked by white blood cells. The follicles then become very small and hair production slows down dramatically, so there may be no visible hair growth for months and years.
