Top 7 Causes Of Female Hair Loss
2
Hair Loss caused by Hormones
Androgentic alopeica (hereditary hair loss) is
the number one cause of female pattern hair loss.
It accounts for a slow decline in scalp hair
density. When testosterone coverts into DHT it
has a miniaturizing effect on the hair follicle
which leads to thinning and ultimately hair loss.
Also low levels of estrogen and progesterone can
be the culprit.

Hair Loss caused by Vitamin Deficiency
Low Ferritin (iron storage)and Vitamin D are
closely linked to hair shedding and hair
breakage. When iron is low the hair loses
elasticity becomes dry and brittle and constantly
breaks off. Lose anagen syndrome can also occur
if the connective tissue of the hair bulb is weak.
4
Hair Loss caused by stress
Unless you are pulling your hair out from stress
(trichotillomania), then the female hormone
cortisol can elevate and cause antigens to attack
the scalp and cause hair loss. Also stress can
worsen autoimmune diseases by affecting the
hypothalamus and pituitary gland which will
secrete hormones that promote inflammation.
5
Hair Loss caused by birth control
Some birth control pills, IUDs can shock the
body and cause hormonal imbalances that can
trigger diffuse hair loss (telogen effluvium)
which causes hairs to pass prematurely to the
telogen stage. During the stage of hair growth we
normally lose between 50-100 hairs however, due
to the sudden shock you will experience excessive
hair shedding which you will see in your brush or
bathroom floor
6
Hair Loss caused by medications
Check with your doctor to see if your medication
contraindicates hair loss. The body normally can
quickly recover once adjusted to medications
however in some cases it will continue for as
long as you take it.
7
Auto-immune conditions
 Condtions such as diabetes, hypothyroidism,
rheumatoid arthritis, intestinal cystitis and
fibromyalgia, celiac disease, and lupus.
8
Hair Loss caused by chemical damage
Over processing of the hair due to hair color,
relaxers, perms, highlights will cause hair
breakage (Trichorrhexis Nodosa) and will cause
the hair cuticle to become frayed and leak
proteins. Split ends (trichoptilosis) will also
occur.
