Stress- Stress is a very important cause of Female Hair Loss because increased stress can have an affect on the production of oestrogen and as a result the production of testosterone will not increase, thus, the effect of testosterone on the body will strengthen as there is less oestrogen to defend against it. This testosterone then attacks the hair follicles reducing their ability to produce hairs and replace those which have fallen.

Pregnancy- Another important cause of Female Hair Loss is pregnancy. During pregnancy the oestrogen levels in the body increases which slows down the normal hair growth. Thus, due to slowing down of normal hair growth make your hair appear thick and lustrous during pregnancy. Hair loss in pregnancy occurs after the child birth. This happens due change in hormonal levels.

Anaemia-Female Hair Loss also occurs due to low blood pressure, lack of iron, poor blood circulation and low levels of Ferritin. Hairs may become thinner and lighter, more brittle.
