Expert answer:
Female hair loss can have many causes, such as diseases of the scalp or body, lack of vitamins, use of chemicals or due to genetic inheritance. The success of treatment for hair loss in men or women depends on the identification of their cause. When there is no possibility of stopping the fall or stimulating hair growth with medications, hair transplantation may be a solution.

- Hormonal diseases, such as hypothyroidism or Addison's disease, should treat the disease as soon as it is diagnosed,
- Scalp diseases, such as dandruff, folliculitis and tinea capitis, should be treated with specific shampoos and medications,

- the stretching or pulling of the hair, both in frequent hairstyles and holding them constantly drawn, can contribute to their fall,
- thermal equipment such as planks or plates and other devices that use heat to straighten the hair can accelerate its fall,
- autoimmune diseases such as alopecia areata and systemic lupus erythematosus,
- deficiency of vitamins such as vitamin A, B, D can lead to hair loss, being avoided with a varied and healthy diet, or with the supplementary use of vitamins when there are problems related to its malabsorption,
