Causes of hair loss in women

There are various causes of hair loss in women including inherited female pattern balding; however medical conditions can also contribute to hair loss, such as low thyroid or iron levels, hormonal imbalances (elevated testosterone), poor diet, and pregnancy.

The most likely factor contributing to female hair loss is androgenetic alopecia—an inherited sensitivity to the effects of male hormones on scalp hair follicles.

Nevertheless, female hair loss usually does not develop into true baldness in the same patterns occurring in men. Patterns of female hair loss can vary significantly in appearance.

Below are the types of patterns of female hair loss:

• Diffuse thinning of hair over the entire scalp: marked by noticeable thinning toward the back of the scalp.
• Diffuse thinning of hair over the entire scalp with obvious thinning toward the front of the scalp, but not affecting the frontal hairline.
• Diffuse thinning of hair over the scalp, with more thinning toward the front of the scalp, breaching the frontal hairline.

Female hair loss suffers often experience miniaturizing hairs of a variable diameter over all the affected areas of the scalp. Although miniaturizing hairs is common in androgenetic alopecia, it may also be a result of other causes and should not be a defining feature when diagnosing androgenetic alopecia. Post-menopausal women, for example, may begin to experience miniaturization, as well.

Non-pattern causes of female hair loss

There are other causes to female hair loss other than androgenetic alopecia. Some of the most common causes include the following:

Trichotillomania—it is a psychological condition where a person feels an intense urge to pull their hair out. The may pull out the hair on the head—or other places—such as their eyebrows or eyelashes. Pulling out hair on the head results in bald patches on the head.

Alopecia Areata — It is a prevalent autoimmune skin disease causing hair loss on the scalp and elsewhere on the body. It usually starts with one or more small, round, smooth patches on the scalp and can progress to total scalp hair loss or full body hair loss. Alopecia areata occurs in males and females of all ages, but onset often takes place in childhood.

Telogen Effluvium (TE)—It is the second most common type of hair loss. TE occurs when there is a change in the number of hair follicles growing hair. If the number of hair follicles producing hair drops significantly for any reason during resting, or telogen phase, there will be significant increase in dormant, telogen stage hair follicles. The result is shedding, or TE hair loss.

Scarring Alopecia—Also known as cicatricial alopecia, pertains to a collection of hair loss disorders. While scarring alopecia can manifest in many forms, the common theme is potentially permanent and irreversible damage of hair follicles and their replacement with scar tissue. Scarring alopecia first occur as small patches of hair loss that may progress with time. In other instances, the hair loss is accompanied by itching, burning and pain—and is rapidly progressive.
