In recent years, more and more women have started to experience early hair loss as well as premature graying. Thinning hair can be a rather sensitive and touchy topic for most women, especially when hair loss starts from the top of the head.

Medical researchers have pointed out that male and female hair losses occur because of different factors.

Female hair loss can be attributed to:

1. Post-natal Syndrome
   Women are at a high risk of losing their hair when they’re well into their pregnancy phase. After childbirth，because a large amount of blood had been lost, the blood circulation and hormones will be kicked off balance. 3 to 5 months after delivery, there will be major disruptions and readjustments in the body and this might result in a 30% hair loss.
   
   
2. Menstrual, Menopausal Phases
   Taking birth control pills as well as cutting off the consumption, or women going through menopause, will start to experience hormonal imbalance. During menstrual periods, hair vessels and follicles may not be fed with sufficient nutrients due to a disruption in the flow of “food” distribution throughout the body.
   
   
3. Yo Yo Diets
   Young women putting themselves through unreasonable amounts of dieting will find their bodies lacking in a great amount of nutrients. A daily meal plan of fruits, vegetables or simply choosing to skip meals can bring to the body nothing but detrimental harm. At this rate, even their hair will start to fall out at an alarming rate, due to the lack of proteins needed by the hair cells to function.
   
   
4. Work-Related Stress
   Modern women undergo a huge amount of stress, thus making them anxious and jumpy. When one is in panic mode, not only will he or she be on the edge all the time, it will also disrupt regular blood circulation and cause the scalp to secrete a massive quantity of oil. Stress can also cause premature graying as well.
   
   
5. Heredity
   Don’t just assume that males are the only ones who will suffer from hair loss related to heredity. Women aren’t left out from this category! As a woman ages, her hormonal secretion will start to lessen and if her parents or older relatives are facing hair loss, there is chance that she will suffer from premature hair loss.
   
   
6. Frequent Perming or Plucking
   Frequent perming can be damaging to your hair. This is due to the chemicals used and can include mousse as well as perming lotion, etc. Plucking or tugging your hair will cause a lot of hair to fall out eventually. Even tying your hair into a high ponytail will recede your hairline as well as cause your hair to fall out.
