Birth control pills can cause hair loss in women who are especially sensitive to the hormones in the pill or who have a family history of hormone-related hair loss. Hair normally grows in cycles. Anagen is the active phase. During this phase, your hair grows from its follicle. This period can last for two to seven years. Catagen is the transitional stage when your hair growth stops. It lasts for about 10 to 20 days. Telogen is the resting phase. During this phase, your hair doesn?t grow. Between 25 and 100 hairs are�shed daily�in this phase, which can last for up to 100 days. Birth control pills cause the hair to move from the growing phase to the resting phase too soon and for too long. This form of hair loss is called�telogen effluvium. Large amounts of hair can fall out during this process. If�baldness�runs in your family, birth control pills can speed up the hair loss process. Other�hormonal birth control methods�can also cause or worsen hair loss.�
