Anemia: Anemia happens when red blood cells in the blood are lower than normal. Iron Deficiency Anemia Type is generally seen in women and causes hair loss.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS): Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is one of the most common endocrine system disorders that women face. One of the main symptoms of PCOS is hair loss.

Hypothyroidism: Hypothyroidism shows up when the body lacks sufficient thyroid hormone. Hair loss is one of the Hypothyroidism symptoms.

Skin Conditions: Skin diseases may lead to hair loss. Some of the skin diseases causing hair loss are Seborrheic dermatitis, Psoriasis, Fungus. They may be treated with topical creams.

Lupus: Lupus is a type of immune system disease that is seen in women. Lupus affects the skin and the organs negatively. When the patient has lupus, it means that the immune system attacks the skin, kidneys, and heart. One of the most severe symptoms of Lupus is hair loss.

Alopecia Areata: When a person experiences Alopecia Areata, the immune system attacks the hair follicles. Therefore, it causes hair loss and leads hair to fall out in round patches.

Excessive Styling: Women who frequently wear ponytails or have their hair dyed may damage their hair and hair loss might start.

Chemotherapy: Women who have had chemotherapy generally experience hair loss as the drugs that are taken during chemotherapy also attack the healthy cells.

To give the best possible treatment plan, women hair loss should be examine closely and the root cause should be understand. Hair transplant operation should be applied if it is NECESSARY.
