Hair thinning is a common concern among women and can be distressing. At The 101 Clinic, we understand how essential healthy hair is to your confidence and overall well-being. Below, we explore the most common causes of thinning hair in women and how you can address them.
1. Hormonal Changes
Hormonal fluctuations due to pregnancy, menopause, or conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can lead to thinning hair. Estrogen levels influence the hair growth cycle, and a reduction can trigger hair loss.
2. Nutritional Deficiencies
A lack of essential nutrients like iron, zinc, vitamin D, or biotin can weaken hair strands and slow regrowth. Poor dietary habits or restrictive diets often contribute to this issue.
3. Stress and Lifestyle
Emotional or physical stress can push hair follicles into the resting phase, leading to increased hair shedding. This condition, known as telogen effluvium, is often temporary but alarming.
4. Genetics
Female pattern hair loss (FPHL) is hereditary and typically manifests as thinning along the crown and parting areas. It’s more common after menopause but can occur at any age.
5. Medical Conditions
Underlying health problems such as thyroid disorders, autoimmune diseases, or scalp infections can contribute to hair thinning.
6. Overstyling and Damage
Frequent use of heat styling tools, harsh chemical treatments, or tight hairstyles can damage hair follicles, leading to breakage and thinning.
