It may seem that some of us are simply born with luscious hair but behind every healthy mane there’s a consistently effective hair care routine at work. Well, we know you’re trying (read almost about to give up). You’ve swapped your regular shampoo with the expensive one your colleague uses (after all it worked fine for her), experimented with a different hair brush, compromised on the heat styling (even if that means battling frizz all day long), and invested in a silk pillowcase but are yet to keep your hair fall under control. It’s frustrating, we know.
Let’s first have a look at the common reasons for hair fall in women.
REASONS FOR HAIR FALL IN WOMEN
1. Stress
You never know if it’s the work pressure or relationship troubles weighing your hair down. So, take a break and let your hair breathe.
2. Nutritional deficiencies
Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Biotin and Iron are what you should be looking out for as far as preventing hair fall is concerned. Consume foods rich in these nutrients or opt for hair fall supplements.

3. Pregnancy
Fluctuating hormones with dropping levels of estrogen – the hair growth hormone – is the main cause of postpartum hair fall. Give this natural process some time and don’t stress.
4. Side effects of certain medications
Medications could interfere with the normal cycle of scalp hair growth and increase hair fall. In fact, in some cases, birth control pills can cause hair fall in women. So opt for medications only when absolutely necessary.
5. Fungal infections
Ringworm, a type of fungal infection penetrates deep into the hair shafts and results in an itchy scalp and hair damage. Hence, maintaining scalp hygiene is key to keeping infections at bay.
