Hair Thinning in Women: Patterns, Causes and First Steps
Diffuse thinning, widening parts and postpartum shedding look different from male pattern loss, and are assessed differently.
Conditions
Androgenetic alopecia
The most common cause of hair loss worldwide. Genetics and sensitivity to hormones called androgens (mainly DHT) make follicles gradually shrink, so hairs grow finer and shorter over years.
Thyroid-related hair loss
Both underactive and overactive thyroid can cause diffuse thinning. Hair typically improves once thyroid levels are treated.
Scalp psoriasis
An immune skin condition that forms thick silvery plaques on the scalp. Scratching and heavy scale can cause temporary shedding.
Menopause hair thinning
Falling estrogen can unmask female pattern hair loss and make hair drier and finer during perimenopause and after.
Hair breakage
Hair that snaps along the shaft rather than falling from the root. It looks like thinning but the follicle is fine.
