What Causes Hair Loss?
For women, hair loss can stem from a range of factors, often resulting from a mix of internal and external influences. Some of the most common reasons are:
- Hormonal Fluctuations: Changes in hormones due to menopause, pregnancy, or conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can disrupt the hair growth cycle, leading to increased shedding or thinning.
- Stress: Both emotional and physical stress can trigger hair follicles to enter a resting phase prematurely, resulting in noticeable hair loss.
- Nutritional Shortages: Insufficient intake of vital nutrients such as iron, zinc, vitamin D, and biotin can weaken hair and hinder its growth.
- Health Issues: Autoimmune disorders like alopecia areata or thyroid problems can significantly disrupt normal hair growth.
- Genetic Factors: Female pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) is a hereditary condition that typically causes gradual thinning, especially around the crown and parting line.
- Damaging Haircare Habits: Regular use of heat styling tools, chemical treatments, or tight hairstyles can harm hair follicles over time, leading to breakage and loss.
Identifying the underlying cause of your hair loss is crucial for selecting the most effective treatment. This is where a professional evaluation becomes essential.
