The Pill suppresses ovulation by the combined actions of the hormones estrogen and progestin, or in some cases progestin alone.
The AHLA recommends that all women interested in using oral contraceptives for the prevention of conception should only use low-androgen index birth control pills.
Women who are predisposed to hormonal-related hair loss, or who are hypersensitive to the hormonal changes taking place in their bodies, can have hair loss to varying degrees while on the Pill or, more commonly, several weeks or months after stopping the Pill.
If there is a strong predisposition for genetic hair loss in your family, the AHLA recommends the use of another non-hormonal form of birth control.
