Alopecia is the number one cause of hair loss in Black and African American women. If you've ever seen someone with bald, thin edges or temple hair loss you've seen alopecia's effects. Temple hair loss is usually caused by traction alopecia.
Menopause or an underactive thyroid also can cause hair loss. Hair growth depends on the proper functioning of the thyroid gland, and if yours is producing abnormal levels of the thyroid hormone, you may start to lose your hair. Treatment: Don't panic. If hormones are causing your hair loss, it's reversible.
