Hair Loss in Women: What Are the Causes?

Hair loss in women is almost as common as it is for men. Millions of women in the U.S. – many right here in Ann Arbor – struggle with thinning hair or bald patches. While many factors drive hair loss in women, genetics likely plays a primary role. If women in your family have traditionally lost their hair, you are more likely to experience it too.

Other factors that may contribute to hair loss in women include:

Tight hairstyles, including ponytails and cornrows can cause traction alopecia
Hormonal changes, such as pregnancy and menopause
Nutritional deficiencies
Some medications, like birth control, steroids, chemotherapy, and antidepressants
Thyroid problems
Stress and trauma
Significant weight loss

Some hair loss causes are readily treatable, while others are more challenging. If you are experiencing hair loss or have a family history of female baldness, consider an evaluation with a board-certified dermatologist before exploring hair transplantation surgery.

How to Spot Female Hair Loss

Women’s hair loss doesn’t always occur in the same predictable patterns as male pattern baldness, but if you know what to look for, there is a noticeable progression to many types of female hair loss.

At first, the signs of hair loss are subtle. Hair loss is gradual and will become more noticeable as time goes on. The earlier you start treatment for hair loss, the more effective it will be. Visit a doctor as soon as you start to see changes in your hair.

To spot hair loss early, part your hair and pay attention to this gap. The part will slowly become broader and more pronounced with hair loss. Other early signs of hair loss in women include excessive shedding (losing more than 50-100 hairs daily) and a thinner ponytail.

Some female patients lose hair similar to men where their temple hairs recede and their hairline moves deeper into their scalp as they age. Other patients describe an always weak hairline on the sides with fine baby hairs.
