11 Sneaky Causes Of Hair Loss In Women

1. Stress

Anabel Kingsley is a trichologist (someone who studies hair/scalp) at Philip Kingsley Trichological Clinic in New York City. She says that stress-related hair loss occurs due to an increase in the testosterone levels in your body, which can affect the hair growth cycle.

The good news is that stress-related hair loss in women only typically goes away once the underlying stress is dealt with, so it’s important to take some time to relax and decompress. Do things that help you calm down, like reading a good book, taking a walk, or just holing up on your sofa with your favorite show.
