The estrogen in the pill stimulated and prolonged the growth phase of your hair follicles.


So more than the usual 10% of hairs to reach the resting phase and then the sloughing phase about 3-4 months later. It usually only lasts for a month or two and the hairs resume a random growth pattern.





When you stop the pills, the same process may take place because the growth phase shortens, and more hairs go into a resting phase several months later. So it seems the pills can be causing some hair loss now, but the loss will go away soon.Why does stopping birth control pills cause hair loss?
i think it is because you are taking in hormones with the pill then the hormones stop.
The pill mimics the hormone release involved in pregnancy to trick your body into believing it is pregnant therefore halting the release of more ovum. During pregnancy the body stops shedding old hair. When you stop the pill your body thinks it is no longer ';pregnant'; thus starting the hair shedding process again.
