Female hair loss: Female baldness is present in 30% of females and is occurring earlier in Western culture. Stress, crash diet, birth control pills,sleep cycle, ovarian cysts ,anemia or low iron, diabetes, low caffeine,lack of sun protection have been associated. Spironolactone, minoxidil ( be careful not on face) ,cyproterone acetate have been shown ot have some benefit. Follow up with a dermatologist.

It's hard to check: hormones and frequently female pattern hair loss may not show lab abnormalities. You can have a biopsy performed if thyroid and iron/ferritin and complete blood count are normal. See derm for answers and treatment options as we do have success treating female pattern baldness
