When it comes to hair growth, it is all about the bodies balance. Prescription forms of birth control changes a natural body function. For some females this change can trigger a minor short term body disruption which effects the hair cycle and results in diffuse hair loss. The time frame for the diffuse hair loss to begin is always three months after the birth control was started, stopped or changed. Diffuse hair loss is normal growing anagen hairs are triggered by body change to go into premature shedding hairs. When diffuse hair loss occurs it will always be alongside of normal daily hair loss.
The resulting diffuse hair loss is not permanent, and should subside after 3 months. This is called ‘self-correcting hair loss’, when the causative factor is identified, balanced or removed. The formula of diffuse hair loss is; 1. hair loss will start 3 months after starting, stopping or changing birth control. 2. The diffuse hair loss will continue for 3 months where you can lose up to 300 hairs a day. 3. Diffuse hair loss should stop after 3 months, hair will lose volume, look and feel thinner. 4. Hair should return back to normal hair cycle and density within 12 months as long as the body is in good health.

It is so very important not to be reactive when you notice diffuse hair loss and stop the birth control that actually triggered the diffuse hair loss. Reactive behavior can trigger another round or diffuse hair loss! One should also understand it was the introduction, retraction or change of the birth control that triggered the body change. Birth control directly does not trigger the hair loss. The same rule applies for all prescription medications but can be different for individual cases and associated health levels.
Birth control is exactly that, birth control and should not really be used for any other hormonal reason. Using birth control to address or control hair loss will result in quite the opposite effect. When birth control is used for conditions not related to its direct purpose, one should look for hormonal imbalance and address accordingly. Is always a good idea to look at symptoms and causes of body and hair problems.
Most cases of diffuse hair loss are from starting, stopping or changing birth control in the environment of other associated elements, such as stress and low iron.
