If you're in your 40s-60s, there are 3 main reasons:
1. HORMONAL CHANGES (Most Common)
After 40, estrogen levels drop and androgens (male hormones) increase. This causes hair follicles to shrink, producing thinner, shorter hair that falls out faster.
Common triggers:
- Perimenopause / Menopause
- Stopping birth control
- Pregnancy / Post-partum
- Thyroid changes
2. STRESS & LIFESTYLE
Major stress events can push hair into "shedding mode" all at once.
Common triggers:
- COVID infection
- Surgery / Illness
- Extreme dieting
- Major life stress
3. NUTRITIONAL DEFICIENCIES
Your body needs certain vitamins to grow hair. When levels drop, hair suffers first.
Common deficiencies:
- Iron / Ferritin
- Vitamin D
- Protein
- B vitamins
THE GOOD NEWS:
All of these can be treated. Our clinical rosemary serum targets hormonal thinning—the #1 cause for women 40-65+.
