How do hormones normally affect hair growth?
A small degree of hair loss is always present. Random hairs shed or break off so that with every brush of the hair, some hairs are at the end of their natural cycle. This natural hair growth cycle (anagen phase) takes as long as 6-10 years. This is followed by a resting, nonmetabolic phase (telogen) that lasts for about 2-3 months (range 6 weeks to 6 months). At the end of the telogen phase, the hair shafts slough off.

These phases are important because many hormones, medications or diseases can change phase duration and thus accelerate hair loss or cause more than a normal amount of the hair to be in synchronous growth and then slough. For example, estrogens during pregnancy prolong the anagen growth phase and when pregnancy is over, a large number of hairs go into the telogen resting phase. As expected, 6 weeks to 6 months later large amounts of hair break or slough. It gives the impression that one's hair is all falling out. Actually hairs gradually go back to their random pattern of growth and rest and the "hair loss" problem subsides.

In addition to whatever treatment your doctor is giving you for the alopecia areata, you might also want to try essential oil therapy to rub on the scalp to stimulate hair growth in the patchy areas. One study showed almost a 50% improvement in women with alopecia areata who used a daily mixture of thyme, rosemary, lavender, and cedarwood essential oils in a mixture of carrier oils (jojoba and grapeseed) and massaged it into their scalps (1).

Can oral contraceptives or hormone replacement cause hair loss?

Yes. Both oral contraceptives and hormone replacement contain estrogen which stimulates hair growth and prolongs the anagen growth phase. Most women will tell you that hair growth accelerated when first starting the replacement therapy. Their hair actually got thicker. Then some women may describe an increased rate of hair sloughing or loss several months after starting the hormonal medications. This is not a reason to stop the hormones; the loss will go away shortly with no net change in the amount of hair. In fact if you stop the hormones then, several months later there may be some more sloughing.

The same is true of younger women starting oral contraceptives. They may not notice the increased hair growth and thickness as much as an older, menopausal woman who has thinner hair to start with, but the gobs of hair in the hair brush several months after starting oral contraceptives does not go unnoticed. This loss of hair following estrogen stimulation by pills, HRT or even pregnancy is called telogen effluvium. Again, this is not a reason to stop the birth control pills. Both the use of Depoprovera® and Norplant® contraceptive implants have about a 10% incidence of increased hair loss (1, 1).
