Hair loss is a common problem amongst women and can happen in women as young as women in their 20s. It is typically caused by hormonal changes that occur in PCOS, postpartum and perimenopause and into menopause. Stress and thyroid dysfunction also play a significant role. As many as 40-50% or women in their 40’s have hair loss which manifests as thinning, increased shedding, slower growth and loss of shine and luster.

Hair loss in women can result from many different factors. Unlike male pattern hair loss, which is usually mostly genetic, female hair loss is often multifactorial.
Perimenopause and menopause: Lower estrogen and progesterone lead to thinning hair, slower growth, and increased shedding.
Postpartum: Hormone shifts after pregnancy can cause significant temporary shedding (telogen effluvium).
Thyroid disorders: Both underactive and overactive thyroid conditions can disrupt the hair growth cycle
This is the most common cause of hair thinning in women.
Hair becomes finer, the part widens, and density decreases over time.
Caused by sensitivity of hair follicles to androgens (even at normal levels)
High stress can push large numbers of hairs into the “shedding phase.” Often occurring 2-4 months after the stressful event.
Common triggers:
Illness or surgery
Major emotional stress
Rapid weight loss
Low iron or ferritin
Low vitamin D
Insufficient protein
Hair requires adequate nutrients; deficiencies weaken growth.
PCOS
Autoimmune conditions (e.g., alopecia areata)
Chronic illnesses
Tight hairstyles (traction alopecia)
Excessive heat
Chemical processing
Over-brushing or rough handling
Certain medications may cause shedding, including:
Blood pressure medications
Some antidepressants
Hormonal therapies
Chemotherapy drugs
Hair loss in women is often multifactorial. You may be a good candidate for Hair Restore if you are experiencing:
• Hair thinning or widening part
• Increased shedding or slow regrowth
• Dull, weak, or fragile hair
• Hormonal changes related to perimenopause, menopause, or postpartum
• Stress-related hair loss
• Genetic female pattern hair loss
• Nutritional deficiencies affecting hair quality
Hair stimulation treatments are especially effective when started early. Follicles that remain inactive for extended periods are harder to regenerate.
Hair Restore may not be recommended if you have active scalp infections, untreated medical conditions, active autoimmune disease, pregnancy, or contraindicated medications. A consultation is required to confirm candidacy.
