- Reasons for Women's Hair Loss

There are many factors that lead to temporary or permanent hair loss or thinning hair. See a doctor or dermatologist to correctly determine your cause.

• Hereditary conditions - Many women are genetically predisposed to suffer hair loss (androgenetic alopecia).
• Stress - Hair loss is often one of the first indicators that someone is experiencing physical trauma or emotional stress.
• Chemicals - Industrial exposure as well as some hair treatment and other household chemicals can adversely affect hair follicles.
• Poor nutrition - Diets lacking in iron and protein, especially in children, can lead to hair loss later in life.
• Disease - Lupus, diabetes, cancer and thyroid disorders and the treatment of those diseases can cause hair loss. Even illness or surgery can temporarily produce hair loss.
• Medication - Birth control and some diet pills, blood thinners, blood pressure and anti-inflammatory medications, chemotherapy, anti-depressants, high doses of vitamin A, mood-altering drugs, and even some acne medications can cause hair loss.
• Hormones - Pregnancy and menopause can cause hair loss.
• Hair Styles - Hair styles that pull on the hair, such as braids and ponytails, can cause traction alopecia.
• Environment - Frequent x-rays and radiation in the workplace can lead to the loss or thinning of hair.
