Nordette (ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel) Hair Loss: When changes in hormones or hormone treatments (birth control) occur, hair follicles may enter a shedding phase. This shedding phase may last 6-12 weeks on average and might be accompanied by a slight decrease in coverage of the scalp or volume. The severity of the shed is determined by your genetic risk for female hair loss. A non-invasive haircheck measurement can help track the loss ; regrowth.
