Are you losing more hair than you should? You must be wondering why. Things that interfere with the hair growth cycle like medication, illness, infection, or chemicals have the potential to stop hair from being formed properly. Let’s understand this better.

What are the causes of hair fall in women?

  • Health conditions:

    Some medical conditions lead directly to hair loss. It can be through the disruption of hormones like thyroid issues. Or it can be through scarring from skin conditions like ringworm. Or it can be through autoimmune disorders like celiac disease, where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells.

     

  • Menopause and hormone imbalances:

    Women might experience hair loss during menopause due to reduced production of the estrogen and progesterone hormones. These changes lead to symptoms such as menstrual cycle irregularity, dry skin, night sweats, weight gain, and vaginal dryness. This added stress on the body might also worsen hair loss. Some women might notice hair thinning and hair loss after going off hormonal birth control pills. This is because hormonal changes of any kind, mainly dropping estrogen levels, can temporarily disturb the hair lifecycle.

     

  • Stress:

    Have you been under emotional or physical stress? It might lead to hair loss. A death in the family, major surgery, or serious illness might cause the body to shut down hair production. There is about a three-month delay between when a stressful event happens and when you might see hair loss. So, you might not pinpoint the trigger right away. Nevertheless, if you experience thinning hair, consider different events or situations in your life that might have caused you considerable stress. Hair loss due to stress is usually temporary. Hair might start growing again after the event has passed.

     

  • Lack of B vitamins:

    Lacking certain vitamins and minerals might lead to thinning hair or hair loss in women. B-complex deficiency might cause hair loss and weak, brittle hair. B vitamins, mainly biotin (B7), support hair growth by strengthening the keratin structure of the hair shaft, the part of the hair structure that is visible. Hair loss is a sign of biotin deficiency.
