Whereas women start losing hair in the crown area which starts from thinning of hair and increases to gaps in the crown area. Here are some of the reasons women are experiencing hair loss:

A) Hormonal Imbalance: Women's hair loss is impacted due to hormonal imbalance and ailments like Thyroid, PCOD, Alopecia etc

B) Pregnancy: Many women experience hair loss post pregnancy which eventually settles down with proper diet, nutrition and medication

C) Bad Lifestyle: Today's women are earning very well or sometimes even more than their male counterparts, which also gets them into the habit of Work Hard & Party Harder; this invariably leads to long hours of work and equally long hours of social life, smoking & drinking and unhealthy food habits

D) Stress: This is one factor which really impacts both men and women. Women have to handle stress at work with deadlines etc and her commitments at home, striking a balance truly becomes challenging.
