11 Reasons Why Women Suffer From Severe Hair Fall
1)Extreme styling
While most of us love to have a new look every now and then and indulge in straightening, perming, coloring or curling, these methods tend to have a major impact on our hair! The heat and chemicals involved in these methods tend to make our hair brittle and weak which eventually leads to our hair follicles getting extremely weak and fall out! If you must indulge in these methods, make sure you take advice from your stylist on how to take care of your hair.
2)Physical and emotional stress
Any kind of physical stress can cause temporary hair loss. This can trigger a type of hair loss called Telogen Effluvium. Hair has a programmed life cycle - a growth phase, rest phase and shedding phase. When you go through extreme stress, it can shock the hair cycle, pushing more hair into the shedding phase.
Some of the homeopathic routes to deal with stress include medications such as Argentum Nitricum and Tarentula.
3)Unhealthy scalp
An unhealthy scalp can cause inflammation that makes it difficult for hair to grow. Skin conditions that lead to hair loss include seborrheic dermatitis (dandruff), psoriasis, and fungal infections such as ringworm. It's extremely important to stay hygienic and wash your hair regularly with products that do not contain too many chemicals.
Homeopathy for unhealthy scalp, especially dandruff, can include zinc pyrithione and tar-based shampoos.
4)Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
One in five women in India have PCOS! Now that's alarming. PCOS occurs due to hormonal imbalance in which the ovaries tend to produce more male hormones than necessary. This in turn tends to affect your hair growth and leads to major hair fall. Do visit your gynecologist and find medications and treatments to prevent further hair loss.
Thuja occidentalis is one of the most common homeopathic treatments for PCOS.
5)Lack of protein
If you don't get enough protein in your diet, your body may ration protein by shutting down hair growth, according to the American Academy of Dermatology. There are multiple ways to add protein to your diet, even if you are a vegetarian. Do consult your doctor and make a meal plan on how to go about it.
The best homeopathic treatment for lack of protein would be to take protein-rich medications, as prescribed by your doctor.

6)Heredity
If you come from a family where women started to have hair loss at a certain age, then you might be more prone to it. Unlike men, women don't tend to have a receding hairline, instead their part may widen and they may have noticeable thinning of hair.
7)Iron deficiency anemia
Close to 51% of women in India are anemic, which is also one of the leading causes of hair loss. Women who have heavy periods or don't eat enough iron-rich foods may be prone to iron deficiency, in which the blood doesn't have enough red blood cells, which in turn leads to thinning out of hair.
Consult with your doctor on how to go about the treatment and find medications and diet plans suitable for your body.
You could also go the homeopathic way and opt for ferrum metallicum or pulsatila.
8)Hypothyroidism
Hypothyroidism is the medical term for having an underactive thyroid gland. When your body produces too little thyroid hormone, the hormone responsible for metabolism, heart rate, and mood, you are said to have hypothyroidism. Thyroid hormone is responsible for everything from your basal metabolic rate - the rate at which your body uses oxygen and energy to function - to the growth of your hair, skin, and nails. If there is lesser than normal amount produced in your body, it can lead to hair loss.
Calcarea carb, sepia and nux vomica are some of the most common homeopathic supplements for hypothyroidism.
9)Unhealthy lifestyle
Now this an extremely common one. Excessive drinking, smoking, sporadic sleep cycles, unhealthy eating, and little to no exercise can cause major problems for your health. This eventually leads to unhealthy hair, which in turn leads to hair loss. Taking care of yourself and your body is vital for healthy hair growth.
10)Crash dieting and unhealthy medications
While the thought of losing weight is always healthy, working towards them the right way is extremely important. Crash dieting or indulging in weight-loss medications is not the right way to go, as it tends to wear your body down and causes hormonal imbalances, which in turn leads to hair loss.
11)Traction alopecia
Traction alopecia in simple language means tugging too hard at your hair. This happens mainly because of the pull on hair. This may be caused by certain hair styles that pull at the roots - tight braids and buns, or because the hair gets pulled by the wrong use of clips, tight rubber bands, or hair bands.
