What is Hair Loss in Women?
Hair loss in women is a common and often distressing condition that can cause hair thinning, excessive shedding, or even visible bald patches. Unlike men, women usually experience diffuse thinning across the scalp rather than a receding hairline.
Although it can affect confidence and self-image, the good news is — most types of female hair loss are treatable with the right diagnosis and care.
What Causes Hair Loss in Women?
Women’s hair loss can be triggered by a range of physical, hormonal, and lifestyle factors. Common causes include:
- Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy, menopause, thyroid disorders, or discontinuing birth control.
- Stress or Emotional Trauma: Physical or emotional stress can disrupt the hair growth cycle.
- Nutritional Deficiencies: Lack of essential nutrients like iron, protein, or vitamins.
- Genetics: Female pattern hair loss, often hereditary.
- Medical Conditions: PCOS, autoimmune diseases, or scalp infections.
- Hairstyles & Treatments: Tight hairstyles (traction alopecia), frequent heat styling, or harsh chemical treatments.
Grades of Hair Loss (Ludwig Scale)
Female pattern hair loss is generally classified using the Ludwig Scale, which helps assess the degree of thinning:
- Grade 1: Mild thinning along the crown or central part line.
- Grade 2: Noticeable widening of the part with more visible scalp.
- Grade 3: Advanced diffuse thinning on the top of the scalp.
Understanding the grade helps in selecting the most effective treatment plan.
