Women's hair loss is often hormonal, postpartum, or stress-related — and it's far more common than most people know. A licensed provider reviews your situation and recommends a plan built around your specific cause.
Understanding what's driving your hair loss is the first step. Your provider will review your situation in full — but here are the most common triggers we see.
Affects up to 50% of women after delivery. Usually starts at 3–6 months postpartum. Often temporary, but treatment can speed recovery and prevent permanent thinning.
Perimenopause, menopause, stopping birth control — all can trigger hair thinning through shifting estrogen and androgen levels. Minoxidil addresses the symptom while the underlying shift stabilizes.
Androgenetic alopecia in women — often presents as a widening part or overall density reduction rather than a receding hairline. Genetic, and more common than most people realize.
Stress-, illness-, or nutritional-deficit-triggered shedding. Often resolves when the trigger resolves — but treatment can support recovery and prevent continued loss.
Low ferritin, thyroid dysfunction, and vitamin D deficiency are among the most commonly missed contributors to women's hair loss. Your provider may flag these for investigation.

Unlike men's hair loss, finasteride is generally not prescribed for women. Minoxidil — topical or low-dose oral — is the gold standard, with a growing evidence base and a strong safety profile.
Pregnancy note: Minoxidil is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. If you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding, your assessment will route you to appropriate guidance. The treatment can be started or resumed after you've finished breastfeeding.
