What Causes Hair Loss in Women?
Hair loss in women often looks different than in men. It can appear as thinning at the crown, a widening part line, or overall loss of volume. Common causes include:
Androgenetic Alopecia (Female Pattern Hair Loss)
This hereditary condition is the most common cause of hair loss in women. It often begins with gradual thinning and affects the top of the scalp. Hair follicles shrink over time, leading to thinner, finer strands.
Telogen Effluvium
This condition causes large numbers of hairs to enter the resting phase, resulting in sudden shedding. It’s often triggered by stress, illness, surgery, weight loss, or childbirth. Fortunately, it’s usually temporary.
Hormonal Changes
Hormonal fluctuations from menopause, pregnancy, or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) can disrupt the hair cycle. Estrogen helps keep hair in the growth phase, so when levels drop, hair loss can increase.
Thyroid Imbalance
Both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism can contribute to hair thinning. Proper diagnosis and treatment of thyroid disorders often improve hair health.
Nutritional Deficiencies
Low levels of iron, zinc, vitamin D, or protein can impair hair growth. Nutritional bloodwork is part of our diagnostic process to identify and address these underlying issues.
Seborrheic Dermatitis
While it doesn’t directly cause hair loss, ongoing irritation and scratching from seborrheic dermatitis can make thinning worse, especially in already sensitive scalps.
Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that can affect the scalp, leading to inflammation, scaling, and itching. While it doesn’t directly damage hair follicles, frequent scratching, flaking, or secondary infections can cause temporary shedding. Managing scalp inflammation can reduce hair loss and improve comfort.
Alopecia Areata
This autoimmune condition causes patchy hair loss on the scalp or other areas like eyebrows. It can come and go unpredictably, but many cases respond well to targeted therapies. Women are slightly more affected than men.
Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia (FFA)
FFA is a scarring condition most common in postmenopausal women. It often begins subtly, with thinning at the hairline or eyebrow loss, and can progress without treatment. Early diagnosis can help preserve hair and confidence.
Lichen Planopilaris
This inflammatory condition can lead to itching, burning, and irreversible hair loss if not treated early. Prompt medical care can slow or halt its progression.
Discoid Lupus Erythematosus
More common in women, this autoimmune disease can cause painful, scaly plaques on the scalp that result in scarring hair loss. Treatment helps reduce inflammation and prevent further damage.
Tinea Capitis (Scalp Ringworm)
A fungal infection most common in children but also seen in adult women. It leads to round, scaly patches of hair loss and requires antifungal treatment.
