Female Hair Thinning Explained: Why It Happens & How We Treat It at Midas Wellness Hub

Female Hair Thinning Explained: Why It Happens & How We Treat It at Midas Wellness Hub

Female hair thinning is one of the most emotionally challenging concerns women face today. It affects confidence, identity, and even mental wellbeing. But here’s the truth most women never hear:
Hair thinning is not a cosmetic issue, it is a clinical condition rooted in internal imbalance.

At Midas Wellness Hub, we specialise in women-centric hair restoration using an advanced blend of Functional Medicine + Regenerative Treatments + Root-Cause Diagnostics, which helps us not only stop hair fall but rebuild stronger, denser, healthier hair from the inside out.

This blog breaks down why women lose hair, what lab markers matter, and the exact clinical treatments we use at Midas that consistently deliver visible results.

Understanding Female Hair Thinning: It’s Not Just “Hair Fall”

Most women believe hair thinning happens because of stress, diet, or poor sleep. Yes, those factors play a role, but they are only the surface.

Female hair thinning is a symptom, not the cause.

It is the body’s signal that something is off internally.

The 6 Most Common Reasons Women Lose Hair

Below is what we clinically see in 80%+ cases at Midas:

1. Hormonal Imbalance (PCOS, Thyroid, Postpartum, Menopause)

2. Nutritional Deficiencies (Iron, Ferritin, Vitamin D, B12, Zinc)

3. Gut Issues (poor absorption = weak follicles)

4. Stress + Cortisol Fluctuations

5. Genetic Predisposition

6. Inflammation of the scalp (Dandruff, Seborrheic Dermatitis, Follicular Inflammation)

Hair thinning is almost always a combination of 2–3 factors. That’s why generic shampoos, serums, or biotin tablets rarely solve the problem, they don’t address the deeper trigger.

1. Hormonal Imbalance: The No.1 Driver of Female Hair Loss

Hormones dictate hair strength, thickness, growth rate and density. When they shift, hair becomes the first casualty.

The most common hormonal causes include:

PCOS

– Excess androgens (male hormones) shrink hair follicles
– Leads to thinning near the crown + widening part-line
– Acne, irregular cycles, weight gain are common signs

Thyroid Disorders

– Hypothyroid causes excessive shedding + dryness
– Hyperthyroid leads to rapid thinning
– Many women remain undiagnosed for years

Postpartum Hormonal Drop

– Sudden estrogen decline after delivery
– Causes temporary but severe shedding
– Needs clinical support to re-balance

Perimenopause & Menopause

– Estrogen decline
– Androgen dominance
– Follicles become weaker, producing thinner strands

At Midas, we test:

• TSH, T3, T4
• LH, FSH
• Total + Free Testosterone
• DHEA-S
• Estradiol
• Insulin + HOMA-IR

This helps us map the exact hormonal pattern causing hair thinning.

2. Nutritional Deficiencies: The Silent Hair Killers

Even if you eat “healthy,” your body may not be absorbing enough nutrients required for hair growth.

The top deficiencies linked to female hair loss:

• Ferritin (Iron storage) — the most important test for women
• Vitamin D3 — regulates follicle cycling
• Vitamin B12 — supports strong hair shafts
• Zinc — prevents hair shedding
• Omega-3 — reduces inflammation
• Protein deficiency – weakens keratin production

When ferritin is below 40, hair will fall.
When Vitamin D is low, hair will thin.
When B12 is low, hair will weaken.

At Midas, we check:

• CBC
• Ferritin
• Vitamin D
• B12
• Zinc
• CRP (to check inflammation)

This allows us to correct deficiencies through personalised nutrition and supplementation.

3. Gut Health & Hair Health: The Deep Connection

You are not what you eat, you are what you absorb.

80% of the nutrients required for healthy hair depend on gut absorption.

If your gut is inflamed, leaky, or dysbiotic:

• Iron absorption reduces
• Vitamin D reduces
• Protein breakdown reduces
• Inflammation increases
• Hair follicles weaken
• Symptoms of gut-driven hair fall:
• Bloating
• Constipation
• IBS
• Gastric acidity
• Food intolerances
• Poor appetite
• We test for:
• Stool analysis
• CRP
• Food sensitivities
• Gut inflammation markers

And create a gut-healing plan that directly improves hair density.

4. Stress, Cortisol & Hair Thinning

Women today are chronically stressed, work pressure, emotional stress, sleep issues, hormonal changes, and lifestyle fatigue.

High cortisol:

• Pushes hair prematurely into the “falling phase”
• Disrupts hormonal balance
• Affects nutrient absorption
• Causes inflammation
• Signs your hair thinning is stress related:
• Sudden shedding
• Hair loss after emotional stress
• Patches (Telogen Effluvium)
• No other medical reason diagnosed

We address this with Functional Medicine protocols that calm the nervous system and rebalance cortisol naturally.

5. Genetics — The Least Common, But Still Real

Female Pattern Thinning is different from male pattern baldness.

It shows as:

• Widening partition
• Thinning along the crown
• Shorter hair strands that never fully grow

But here’s the good news:
Genetic hair loss in women is highly manageable with the right combination of medical treatments + regenerative therapies.

6. Scalp Health: The Foundation of Hair Growth

A healthy scalp equals healthy hair.

Scalp inflammation, fungal infections, dandruff, excess oil, or buildup suffocate follicles.

Common scalp triggers we treat at Midas:

• Seborrheic dermatitis
• Psoriasis
• Dandruff
• Oily scalp
• Product buildup
• Folliculitis
• A clean, nourished, oxygenated scalp = better results from all treatments.
• How We Diagnose Hair Thinning at Midas Wellness Hub

Unlike generic hair clinics, our process is detailed, medical and women-focused.

Step 1: Detailed Hair & Hormone Consultation

• Cycle history
• Stress mapping
• Diet pattern
• Hair loss pattern
• Family history
• Step 2: Trichoscopy
• A magnified hair scan to assess:
• Follicle density
• Miniaturization
• Inflammation
• New baby hair growth
• Scalp condition

Step 3: Blood Workup

Customised based on symptoms:

• Hormones
• Thyroid
• Ferritin
• Vitamin panels
• Inflammation markers
• Insulin resistance

Step 4: Personalised Plan

We combine root-cause Functional Medicine and advanced in-clinic hair treatments for maximum results.
