10 most common causes for hair loss in women

Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations due to pregnancy, menopause, or conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can lead to hair thinning.

Genetics: Family history plays a significant role. Female pattern baldness, or androgenetic alopecia, can be inherited and causes gradual thinning.

Nutritional Deficiencies: Lack of essential nutrients like iron, zinc, protein, and vitamins (especially B vitamins) can contribute to hair loss.

Stress: High stress levels can trigger hair loss conditions like telogen effluvium, where hair follicles enter a resting phase and fall out.

Medical Conditions: Conditions like thyroid disorders, autoimmune diseases (like alopecia areata), and scalp infections can cause hair loss.

Medications: Certain medications, including those for cancer, arthritis, depression, and heart problems, may have hair loss as a side effect.

Hairstyling Practices: Frequent use of tight hairstyles, heat styling, and harsh chemical treatments can damage hair and lead to traction alopecia.

Aging: As women age, hair growth slows down, and hair may become thinner and less dense.

Scalp conditions: Issues like dandruff, psoriasis, or fungal infections can affect the scalp's health, leading to hair loss.
