Female Hair Loss: Causes, Treatments, and the Best Solution That Works
Hair loss isn’t just a “men’s problem.” In fact, female hair loss is on the rise with up to 40% of women in the UK will experience visible hair thinning at some point in their lives. But the causes — and treatment needs — are often different for women.
If you’re noticing more strands in your brush, a widening part, or thinning around the crown, you’re not alone. Let’s break down the reasons behind female hair loss and how you can treat it effectively.
What Causes Female Hair Loss?
1. Hormonal Fluctuations
Hormones play a huge role in hair growth. Changes due to pregnancy, menopause, birth control, or thyroid imbalances can all disrupt your cycle and lead to shedding.
2. Genetic Pattern Hair Loss (Female Pattern Baldness)
Yes, women can inherit hair loss too — often showing as thinning at the part or crown instead of a receding hairline.
3. Stress & Illness (Telogen Effluvium)
Emotional or physical stress, illness, or major life changes can shock your body and cause temporary hair shedding.
4. Nutritional Deficiencies
Low iron, vitamin D, or protein intake can contribute to weak, brittle hair and increased fallout.
5. Overstyling & Tight Hairstyles
Frequent use of heat tools, bleaching, or tight buns and braids can result in traction alopecia — a preventable form of hair loss.
Signs of Female Hair Loss
- Widening part
- Overall volume loss
- Increased hair fall in the shower or brush
- Thinning around the temples or crown
- Breakage and shorter regrowth

Born from Science, Built for Results
Once upon a time in the wild world of hair loss. We—two weary pharmacists—found ourselves drowning in a jungle of overpriced, underwhelming hair regrowth products. Every bottle we picked up was either filled with wishful thinking, overpriced snake oil, or a vague promise that “ancient herbal magic” would somehow resurrect our follicles.
And we had had enough.
Armed with actual science (and a little too much caffeine), we decided to take matters into our own hands. If the world was going to be full of wild claims. We might as well make them fun—while actually making them work. And thus, Hairy Animal was born!
