If you’ve noticed more shedding than usual, you’re not alone—and there are common reasons it happens. Our latest blog breaks down 3 major causes of female hair loss:
✨ Postpartum hormone shifts
✨ Nutrient deficiencies (like iron or vitamin D)
✨ Medical conditions (ex: thyroid changes, high stress)
Some shedding can be linked to telogen effluvium (when hair shifts into a resting phase), and the most common long-term pattern is female pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia).
Looking for options beyond messy topicals or hormone-based approaches? Cahaba Clinical Research is conducting a non-hormonal female hair loss clinical trial in Birmingham, with up to $1,200 for time and travel for qualified participants.
