Hair loss at the rate of 20 to 100 strands per day is considered as normal. However, any loss that is higher in amount than this may be considered alarming and the cause must be detected as fast as possible. Hair loss is not an unsolvable problem, with timely attention and proper treatment, it can be stopped and the damages can be repaired. The first step towards solving this problem is to understand the various causes of female hair loss.

The four main types of female hair loss include:

- androgenetic alopecia

- traction alopecia

- alopecia areata

- telogen effluvium

Among the preceding causes, the first one that is androgenic alopecia is the most common. This type of hair loss is also referred to as "pattern hair loss". This often results from the over-production of the male hormone androgen in the female system. The effect of this affliction is abundance of thick, dark hair on the body like the arms and the chest, along with copious facial hair, but thinning of hair from particular zones in the scalp. The hair density remains thick on the side and the back of the head, while the crown becomes visible due to paltry hair coverage. The most effectual cures of this type of hair loss are mechanical measures like hair transplant, or treatment through laser therapy.

Traction alopecia is caused by hair styles that strain the hair, by forcibly pulling it back from the forehead in tight ponytails or braids or buns. Often the hair starts to recede from the hairline and widening of the forehead occurs. Thus, simply by changing the hair style, the affected person can reverse the condition. Tying the hair loosely relieves the hair roots and prevents hair fall. Regular hair care routine like gentle massage with warm oil and brushing with wide-toothed, blunt-tipped combs can improve the health of the hair.

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease. This happens when the body’s defense mechanism fails to recognize the hair follicles as parts of the self system, and begins to attack the follicles in certain areas. Consequently the hair falls off from the scalp, in regions that the follicles are being harmed. Thus circular patches of bald spots develop on arbitrary areas of the scalp, surrounded by an otherwise luscious growth of hair. Topical treatment by medicated ointments and injections of steroidal preparations may help reduce the auto-immune attack and to stimulate the scalp for production of new hair follicles.

Telogen effluvium is caused by internal weakness of the female body, like
